Ah, yes, the time jump.
Reminds me of the time jump off of the Empire State building in Men in
Black III.
Sure seems like the jump should be taken in increments smaller than an
integer second.
We have the technology. :-)

I would support a leap minute. It will still be far enough in the future that I
will not have to deal with it :)
But then we would lose that wonderful subject of conversation and we would lose
the practice of doing it somewhat regularly. I can see that the lack of
practice could easily make it

Subject: [time-nuts] Examples of leap-seconds in local timezones
Fellow time-nuts,
In a discussion it again re-occurred that we needed examples of how
leap-seconds is indeed is inserted into the local timezones
Magnus,
I have little experience with radio-based public time dissemination
services, but some with GPS/NTP/PTP, so here's some info - hope it's of
some value to you.
For US and European exchanges, the leap second time happens outside trading
hours, so maybe that's why we've heard little

Fellow time-nuts,
In a discussion it again re-occurred that we needed examples of how
leap-seconds is indeed is inserted into the local timezones at the UTC
midnight.
I think I recall that the Tokyo stock exchange was closed during the
leap-second for instance. Stuff like that.
Cheers,
