A quick search says it's actually ticks, which is OS and machine dependent (kernel tunable). Nanosecond resolution is not enough for a seed if it's a real datetime, so the 32-bit truncation is a separate problem.

FreeBSD committer alum.
The FreeBSD community is carefully watching progress across many forks and cherry-picking / importing a lot of the cream.

Network configuration changes are the reason for 90%+ of domain-wide multi-hour outages.
You can remote-reset everything but if the network breaks, you have to physically get there. (OOB/LOM notwithstanding)
On average my macbooks, iphones, watches don't last a year. AC+ shortens and reduces the negotiation headaches.
I always try to go to Genius Bars and avoid AASP. The bars are generally much more benevolent in developed markets — US, HK, SG — compared to developing like Bangkok.
With careful and polite negotiation you can often get free repairs and replacements (and once in a blue moon, upgrades) out of warranty.
While mostly in Asia, I often start a support case with Apple Support US, they can make a favorable decision and transfer me to their global branches, who then can direct a local Bar or AASP.
The Genius Bars in Mainland China (I mostly dealt with the one in Shenzhen) were great.
compared to my gmail, protonmail and other email clients/services, the signal-to-spam ratio on Twitter is less than 10% even for me — a nobody with <1k followers
For older elevators that would not allow much modification, the hardware was a DLP projector mounted under the ceiling with a top portion of the doors covered in a reflective matte sticky film. All the new elevators come with some sort of flat screen pre-installed.
Hardware is cheap, regulations are lax, it's a decent source of extra revenue for the property management companies.
At some point I donated it to my startup to serve as a datacenter recovery console complete with a 3G USB modem.
On a trip to SF, I saw an Asus Eee Pad at BestBuy (and Android tablet) and couldn’t resist the power of the Eee marquee. It didn’t serve as well or as long as an iPad would, but had a great life and is still alive 11 years later.

Does any science claim or even attempt to estimate its own comprehensiveness?
It's all the same bias. We're living in the stone age.
There's an even better cognitive bias than this describing your «optimism» about the future, but I fail to find its name.
To clarify: modern science estimates 300–1000 species in gut microbiota, 99% by number of cells coming from 30-40 species. The total number of microbial and viral cells throughout a healthy adult body is estimated at over 100 trillion, or roughly 10x the number of one's own body cells.
But nothing recent. The innocent explanation would be — it's really desolate and the iPhone glitch was just a glitch.
However she mentions it's a tourist attraction.
«This Group is about the radar squadron at Hofn, Island a one time remote tour. Hofn Air Station (ADC/NATO ID: H-3) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 231.4 miles (372.4 km) east of Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland. ... The 933d AC&W Squadron was inactivated on 30 June 1960, being replaced by the 667th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron. The 667th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the Air Forces Iceland, stationed at Hofn Air Station, Iceland. It was inactivated on 30 September 1988. From 1951-1988, the unit was a General Surveillance Radar squadron providing for the air defense of Iceland and the North Atlantic.»
- you can return almost any purchase within 7 days of receiving it, without any reason or excuse, usually with free shipping
- logistics and payments are extremely efficient and low-overhead, meaning everyone is ordering a bunch of options, receiving them within 1-2-3 days, and returning all but one or all, the system is handling this well
- margins are low, competition is crazy, search is AI/image-based, meaning you almost always get an amazing deal, 3x-10x cheaper in nominal terms vs same product on Amazon
- the way Alipay works on Taobao, most consumers are allowed to defer payment until they received an item and decided to keep it, no credit card needed
This only fails with products where it’s difficult to verify the quality yourself and the downside risks are high - most famously baby formula - then you just buy from official brand stores at high markup.
It almost sounds like proper competition would do some good here.

By late 00s, if you were running FreeBSD and pushing it to its limits in terms of performance or features, you'd probably be running current and have at least one committer or active contributor on the team, upstreaming as many business-specific improvements as possible while keeping track of incoming commit stream.
Sarcastic correction: almost decent support for really crap ext3/4 filesystem
(As compared to either of UFS2 or ZFS)
Fun fact: ~12 years ago I was able to recover 80%+ of data from some failing ext3 drives just by mounting from FreeBSD with ext2fs kld and opportunistic copying — whereas any version of Linux I tried would crash immediately after [ro] mounting.
WHO recently tightened PM2.5 guidance closer to zero and all the evidence so far is that the more we learn about PM1 and finer pollution, the more horrifying the health effects.
