The atomic clocks themselves are fine, it was the three servers in Boulder that were affected.

I'm not saying you're wrong about a cyber-war, but this particular event is related to a natural disaster. Boulder had sustained 100mph winds across a couple of days, there were power outages and other issues.

The way I've been putting it is: computers are good at large but finite datasets.

The English language and driving are both examples of infinite datasets, which people are way better at.

data is important, measurement of public opinion is important, but politics also isn't a machine. there are a vast number of qualitative factors at work. and people themselves are unpredictable.

I had a teacher in middle school who drove a red Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 and I thought she was the coolest lady on the planet.
