that CEO blaming alternate realities and the Mandela Effect for software bugs and data entry mistakes


quote:

“I want to stress that this is not our software making these changes,” Anatra says. “Changes in data is a phenomena that software technology companies like NECS have been noting, most especially as it affects our bottom line and requires more technical support resources.”

Swatch Internet Time


quote:

Swatch Internet Time (or .beat time) is a decimal time concept introduced in 1998 by the Swatch corporation as part of their marketing campaign for their line of "Beat" watches.

Instead of hours and minutes, the mean solar day is divided into 1000 parts called ".beats". Each .beat is equal to one decimal minute in the French Revolutionary decimal time system and lasts 1 minute and 26.4 seconds (86.4 seconds) in standard time. Times are notated as a 3-digit number out of 1000 after midnight. So, for example @248 would indicate a time 248 .beats after midnight representing ​248⁄1000 of a day, just over 5 hours and 57 minutes.

How did this work when JS wasn't released until 1995, for browsers? Is this actually 1999 or something and an early version of ASP?
