"But over time, if we didn't have leap seconds, the difference would accumulate. The accumulated difference now between UTC and TAI is 37 seconds--which is almost twice the maximum variation in actual solar noon from mean solar no

"In other words, we want UTC noon to be within a second of mean solar noon on the prime meridian." Why? If I travel 1 mile east or west of the prime meridian, my solar noon now comes 2-3 seconds earlier/later. It's near

Can you explain how a 10 minute offset would affect you in any way? For 99% of the world today, high noon =/= 12:00:00. Nothing breaks because of this. The world continues to run.

Yet high noon at my current location comes at 12:03 (1:03 with DST). It's three minutes off. If I lived further west in my timezone, noon would come much later. How can people manage with noon off by minutes, yet want leap-second ac

If the local market for American DBAs is $180k, then hiring H1B DBAs at $110k does depress wages.

If it is a "free tier", Amazon should halt the application when it exceeds quota. Moving the account to a paid tier and charging $100k is not the right thing to do.
