This is the Snapchat bug reported yesterday, right?

Incidentally, how is AWS dealing with the leap second next week? Google is going to have their time servers start to run fast around 20 minutes in advance of the leap second, so they're back in sync at 00:00:60 UTC.

Nope, this is from 2014.

If memory serves, Google's "smoothing" the second out over (I think) a 24-hour period. I don't recall the exact time period off the top of my head but it's much, much longer than 20 minutes.
