System robustness hazard that won't tolerate just querying time.nist.gov at 4-sec or greater intervals?
From the cow's mouth[1]:
>> The global address time.nist.gov is resolved to all of the server addresses below in a round-robin sequence to equalize the load across all of the servers.
They may not operate redundant clocks at a single site, but ITS redundancy posture[1] doesn't look bad at all:
>> Servers at the Boulder and WWV/Ft. Collins campuses are independent and unaffected.
Any domain experts know how that actually squares in practice against automated colorimeter calibration?
LCSC is a grey market distributor whose sources of supply are of untraceable, dubious provenance. They are neither ECIA member nor participating distributor.
Appears to be stale documentation.
The Times filed Durham 7th @ 859 in FY24[1], 5th @ 898 in FY25[2]. They're now 3rd @ 906 for the current FY.
P.S. Chuckling at the perception that a university which ranked top 10 for at least the past decade being characterized as "not as well-regarded"...strikes me as indefensibly elitist.
If I disclose an email address that's directly traceable to my current employer---or even one provided to me by professional organizations I'm registered with---as adequate "social proof" (whatever that means) that I'm not "likely a bot/scammer", and a company's hiring manager is too blind to see the signal, then I'd write that off as a hidden trap passively dodged with confident relief.
Respectfully, bullshit; auto insurance companies I've dealt with certainly begged to differ, and have priced comprehensive/collision premiums for Teslas accordingly.
For better or worse, PowerPC is still quite entrenched in the industrial embedded space.
THIS...BUYER BEWARE!
Raise your hand if you're one of the first thousand Indiegogo campaign backers and still haven't received your order.
> Moments later, court records show, the data was just as automatically “unlinked” from the 2019 Tesla Model S at the scene, meaning the local copy was marked for deletion, a standard practice for Teslas in such incidents, according to court testimony.
Wow...just wow.

In the US, authoritative data sources[1] suggest otherwise.
Hint: It starts with an N and rhymes with arsonist.
Ironically, the article depicts the homeowner holding a rooster; I can see why a neighbor would be pissed.
Backyard hens are thing in my city (dancing around HOA is another issue altogether), but our ordinance makes it abundantly clear that roosters are not permitted.
I suppose the key difference in liability here is: see a dead mouse on Guam, hope your pet doesn't eat it...see one of your wife's rabbits (live or dead) in Florida, immediately cordon off and notify local UXO disposal team.

Assuming this is the case (that would likely mitigate the mercury bioaccumulation hazard), it may be doable, but that would only make business development sense if an addressable market actually exists.
I say "may" because it's unclear what a notional python farmer would feed such a carnivore that's both cost-effective at scale and isn't a disease vector itself. Corn is the answer for chicken, pigs, and (unfortunately) cows. In Japan, farmed unagi are fed a highly nutritious semi-solid paste that's relatively expensive...but demand for unagi in Japan alone is absurdly high and priced accordingly, with cultural significance providing additional market support.
I imagine the incentive to create a market for python meat would be primarily driven as a way to combat its invasive status in Florida...to which consuming farmed python does nothing to address this underlying root environmental issue.
Acknowledged on the potential excessive human consumption hazard and gaminess, but I'd like to think it's still possible for one man's trash to be another's prospective opportunity.
