Re: [time-nuts] Certichron
At the bottom of their web page is a link to an article on the limitations of LI GPS as a time source. It says that "reliance on L1 GPS for time-setting is very risky" Sounds like FUD to me. Didn't see anything about their claim to accuracy. Seems like they deliver lawyer time with NTP. An article on network security for process control systems (refinery, power, etc.) comments on the spread of partial knowledge. Governments make laws that are incomplete, plant managers don't want to spend more than they have to, lawyers tell them all they have to do is comply with the law. Result? Engineers can't get money to provide the security they know they need to keep the bad guys out of the system. Maybe that's why SETI can't find any intelligence in the cosmos. Technology soon collapses when common sense isn't enough.
