Who knows? Apparently it cost more money to keep http://time.gov/[^] running then it did to pay someone to take it down and put something else in place.

It's lunch time.
I'm having beef that was slow cooked in Hobgoblin yesterday, chunks of it in a large and fresh bread roll with lettuce and mustard.
Quite wonderful it is too.

Is that valid in all time zones?

It's being replaced by nsaist.com, which will record every ping, the source of every ping, the content of every hard drive connected to every source of a ping, and the shoe size of every person who owns a device that is the source of a ping.

Luckily tigerdirect.com has some good deals on hard drives right now. That will require a lot of disk space.

A lot of US government websites have been taken offline. The reason is that they are frequent targets, and if a site got hacked with no one available to fix it.... Best to disable the functionality and restore it after (when?) people come back.

Ya, that would be terrible if someone hacked time.gov and made the posted time be 42 seconds different than the real time. What tyrants.

And if someone hacked the site to deliver a virus or trojan? Or replaced the page with a hate-spewing screed? Pages in the .gov root domain are constant targets, no matter how benign their function may be.
More likely, though, would be the servers going down. By taking the site offline, the now furloughed staff can be reasonably sure that no one is relying on the page to provide accurate information. It seems a reasonable safety measure.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Without anyone in the office who is going to keep editing the HTML source to keep the time correct?

School photos have arrived, the choice was +£20 for each single picture [with a tastelessful cardboard frame] or download the images [5 of them] for £45.
Yup, £45 for five bloody images. Now for the best part. No, not paying £9 per picture but for this bit - allow five days for delivery. So, I have to wait UP TO FIVE DAYS so they can send me a secure link so that I can download the pictures. If they're not RAW, then the photographer will be!
Five frogging days to prepare a link! Unbelphantlivable! I guess they don't need studio spots as they're such sunshines.

Went round my brother's house a few months ago, there was a new display of 5 photos of his family on the wall, professionally taken, and they did look good, which was what my missus remarked to them.
"How much" she asked?
"Erm, quite a lot" my brother's wife replied.
"Go on..." I encouraged.
"Just over a thousand" she admitted.
A grand! A $%£^ing grand! For five photos of people you see every bloody day anyway!

That's the whole point: you replace the pictures with the kids.
And Social Services get very narky when you try to post kids on websites, apparently...
