      They&#x27;re pretty readable, I recommend that second one (though it leaves some questions I have unanswered). It&#x27;s a good example of how latent issues with a large system can go unrecognised for a long time before a seeming unrelated change can trigger a cascading failure

    &gt; Each decision solved the problem in front of it. Nobody was asked to look at the sum of all actions.<p>This is the perfect description of Telstra as a company.

    Author needs to decide which end of the stratum stack they want as the top.<p>&gt; This design from 2010 had at the top stratum 1 sources at Australia&#x27;s National Measurement Institute (NMI)<p>&gt; Among otherwise comparable candidates, the lower stratum carries more weight.

    It&#x27;s funny, but I had the same thing happen to me once. One day, overnight, my computer decided it was 2006.<p>It happened twenty years ago...<p>;-)
