On the night of July 1, will fall of the train and will crash ATM?

The problem is-2000 can overtake computer networks around the world on the night of 1 July. Can Zambaiti all systems that are controlled by computers, trains, subways and airports to banking terminals.





 

The fact that the day 30 June will be longer by 1 second than usual. That is, they will last 24 hours, 01 second. Extra second must be added to 0 hours London time (21 hours GMT). Programmers of all systems are required to register in programs that extra second. And most did, probably. And someone did not. The human factor. System, where an extra second is not spelled out in hours, saiboat.

Why the need for this extra second? The fact that there is a real rotation of the earth around its axis. Is the so-called high-precision time atomic. It is defined by atomic clock. Atomic day do not coincide with the true day. The true time of the earth's rotation axis is constantly changing and depends, for example, the way the wind blows on which hemisphere have accumulated more ice, and so on.

Agreed that the difference between the atomic and the true time can not be more than seconds. Now this difference has accumulated. It's time to make a correction. The last time the clock was adjusted in 2012. And then around the world have been notable failures in the banking system. Therefore, the Central Bank of Russia has sent a letter in which, predupredili programmers banks not to forget to consider the second. published
