Comment on Ask HN: Are systems ready for the first negative leap second?parent

Comments

Yes, it's wrong. But we have also agreed to all be wrong in the same way. Except during the specific day that we are wrong in different ways.

Correction: We are mostly right, most of the time, but wrong in ways most people don't notice except if they try to talk while everyone is wrong.

Clarification: Human perception of time is not understandable, and the machine abstraction even less so.
