Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?
I listen to music on a new music radio station - the good new music really stands out
Most people just like the (better bits of) stuff they listened to when they were young

If you are working in a different number system with other people ten loses its unique meaning just like any word that has another technical meaning.
In code 0x10 is hex 10 (what you’d call sixteen), but in spoken technical English you don’t need to pronounce the 0x
I don’t see the need to bring values into this, this is about the naming of number systems. We really have no more claim to ten being this many (…) than hexadecimal people have to claim ten has this many (…)

Iodine in salt is a health measure, people were not getting enough iodine, so they added it to the salt

But that’s also not because it’s electric.
Every base has ten, but it’s made of two digits
Binary 0, 1, 10 Ternary 0, 1, 2, 10 … Decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Hex 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10
Each has the right count of digits for its base before you go two-digit - binary has two (0, 1), etc
I don’t know, 7 is a bit of a cannibal. π just is a little in the way
It was on a Russian Antarctic base, why would international waters be a consideration?

Then when you hang up it says goodbye to them.
I think the product that was supposed to be AI was the booking assistant
Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out
Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don’t know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses
