For the past two games, Manu has deputised in the halves to startling effect and was also devastating in New Zealand’s recent Test win over Tonga while playing as a fullback, leading to calls for Robinson to persist with him in the spine

‘The principle is if someone is wanting to get out, we don’t want ‘do you lose your job or are you going to lose money?’ to be on the list of difficulties that that individual is facing,’ he told ABC radio.

11 hours agoAlong with mandating 24/7 nurses, the proposed measures would monitor the costs associated with aged care, specifically administration fees, and place greater responsibility on providers to be transparent and fair.

OSLO, July 22 (Reuters) — Norwegian aluminium-maker Norsk Hydro said on Friday it would propose an extra deals dividend and offer share buybacks as it reported upbeat quarterly profits in line with expectations.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose to 11.6 billion crowns ($1.16 billion) in April-June from 6.6 billion crowns a year earlier, while analysts in a company-provided poll had expected 11.6 billion crowns on average.

Computers are really good at counting. But humans introduce irregularities like leap seconds that can throw a wrench in the works. One of the most infamous was the Y2K bug, when human-authored databases recorded only the last two digits of the year and messed up math when 1999 became 2000. A related problem is coming in 2038 when a 32-bit number that some computers use to count the seconds from Jan. 1, 1970, is no longer large enough.

The temporal tweak causes more problems — like internet outages — than benefits, they say. And dealing with leap seconds ultimately is futile, the group argues, since the Earth’s rotational speed hasn’t actually changed much historically.

The broadcaster recorded a peak television audience of 7.6 million, during coverage on BBC One last night and there were also 1.5 million streams across BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app for the game.

In all, 9.1 million people enjoyed — or suffered — a tense encounter, with England falling behind to Esther Gonzalez’s opener, before levelling in the 84th minute through Ella Toone and then Georgia Stanway scoring the winner in extra time with a stunning strike.

The tech giants and two key agencies agree that it’s time to ditch the leap second. Those are the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its French equivalent, the Bureau International de Poids et Mesures (BIPM).

«We are predicting that if we just stick to the TAI without leap second observation, we should be good for at least 2,000 years,» research scientist Ahmad Byagowi of Facebook parent company Meta said via email. «Perhaps at that point we might need to consider a correction.*

The leap second change triggered a massive Reddit outage in 2012, as well as related problems at Mozilla, LinkedIn, Yelp and airline booking service Amadeus. In 2017, a leap second glitch at Cloudflare knocked a fraction of the network infrastructure company’s customers’ servers offline. Cloudflare’s software, comparing two clocks, calculated that time had gone backward but couldn’t properly handle that result.

Since 1972, the world’s timekeeping authorities have added a leap second 27 times to the global clock known as the International Atomic Time (TAI). Instead of 23:59:59 changing to 0:0:0 at midnight, an extra 23:59:60 is tucked in. That causes a lot of indigestion for computers, which rely on a network of precise timekeeping servers to schedule events and to record the exact sequence of activities like adding data to a database.

Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon launched a public effort Monday to scrap the leap second, an occasional extra tick that keeps clocks in sync with the Earth’s actual rotation. US and French timekeeping authorities concur.

To ease the problems with computer clocks that don’t like 61-second minutes, Google pioneered the idea of the «leap smear» that makes the leap second’s changes in many tiny steps over the course of a day.
