If NIST goes down the stock market dies and GPS stops working
>>524025405>Gps stops workingI can do mapquest dirrections just fine. Lol
>>524025405they literally threatened to shoot me when I tried to visit that "campus"
>>524025405There's thousands of NTPs around the world.
>>524025405>prolonged utility power outageThe US is a third world country. A lot of the infrastructure where I live was replaced after hurricane Ida in 2021. We still lost power 6 times this year. Six fucking times with no hurricanes or other tropical systems.
>>524025405Pic related. >>524026832>they literally threatened to shoot me when I tried to visit that "campus"Yeah, shoot you full of AIDS.>>524026832Why are you still here? WHY?
>>524025405Sounds like a dream come true.
>>524026832>There's thousands of NTPs around the world.There are, and where are those pointed?
>>524027728literally nothing burger. there are thousands of independent time servers. NIST is just authoritative.
>>524025405Based.
>>524029438That was kind of his point, you stupid brown
>>524026344It's a base, you retard.
>>524027158First world literally means aligned with US interests, mongoloid
>>524030069there are dozens of authoritative time servers.
>>524025405There’s backup atomic clocks for gps
>>524026344they should put that on the sign, because it looked like a fun and interesting place to explore like the rest of the university.i know it's not part of the university but it kind of looks like it okay??I always think about Wayne Lambright when I remember the NIST encounter because I had just found out about wayne in the hour or so leading up, and I connected the futuristic architecture of the base with Wayne's vision of the future of america
>>524030197that's what "first world" originally meant when it was coined during the cold war which, if you'll check your calendar, ended about 35 years ago
>>524025405>GPS stops workingGPS sats have their own clocks
>>524025405>not having a GLONASS capable device
>>524025405Bitcoin is a better etmological ntp imho
>>524033519Gps satellites need their clocks corrected daily due to drift caused by relativistic effects. Max they can go with out a correction is about 14 days, and accuracy will suffer each passing day. Guess what time source they are corrected by?
