Comment on How the Government Shutdown Warps Time Itselfparent

Comments

Time zones need to be defined relative to some reference time, and UTC is (sort of) the least impractical reference.

UTC adds little of value on top of TAI, except some headache for clock synchronization. So I argue for basing timezones directly on TAI, as I see TAI as the least impractical reference.
