What they are misunderstanding is that NIST is not afraid of an outage, it is afraid of sending wrong time and poisoning the network

Someone is seriously confused here
Reporter: Will you be seeking any authorization from Congress for land attacks in Venezuela?
Trump: I don't have to tell them, but I would not mind it at all. I just hope they would not leak it.

Why have Interest Rates at all? What's an Economy?

Lutnick: "He's going to pick a new Fed governor, a new Fed chairman, and they're gonna bring rates down. Why does the strongest country in the world have the 34th highest interest rate in the world? It makes no sense."

Money is meaningless and everything at the same time
Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
