:::::Serious time-stamp critical applications should be written to work in the presence of positive and negative leap seconds. In today's world, everything is software, and the software can be written correctly. It isn't actually hard to do, it just takes the will to do it. [[User:John Sauter|John Sauter]] ([[User talk:John Sauter|talk]]) 02:49, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
::::::Mr. John Sauter, please let me tell you that since negative leap second has never been introduced, it is terra incognita for the engineers, <ins>as in programming "undefined behavior" and "unexpected results" should always be expected</ins>. That's the problem. [[User:Georges T.|Georges T.]] ([[User talk:Georges T.|talk]]) 12:21, 18 September 2021 (UTC) 13:53, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::According to [https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/ "Future of Leap Seconds"] website, there are potential legal issues that would occur in countries like USA, Great Britain, and Canada, that still regard GMT (i.e. UT1) as legal time. For example, an accident recorded on camera, occurring seconds from midnight, may or may not be subject to insurance payout if insurance expires on that midnight. So I would say there are definitely potential issues, and they are not necessarily related to software only. [[User:Morycm|Morycm]] ([[User talk:Morycm|talk]]) 00:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Mr. John Sauter, please let me express you my many thanks for you commented my proposal. Regarding situation in 2000 I post this [https://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/products/combined/C04plot.php?date=2&dimx=1200&dimy=800&graphe=3&year1=1998&month1=1&day1=1&year2=2006&month2=12&day2=31&langue=1&SUBMIT=Submit+request plot]. It is clear that there was not any increase similar to that since June 2021. By the way, let me suggest you and every interested [https://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/index.php?index=C04&lang=en this] IERS/EOC page for retrieving data and plots. My way for predictions under aforementioned condition is that in 2 months (June 17 to August 17) increase was 44 msec that is 22 per month. With regards and friendship, Georges Theodosiou, The Straw Man [[User:Georges T.|Georges T.]] ([[User talk:Georges T.|talk]]) 14:52, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
