[time-nuts] Google's Spanner uses GPS and atomic time

[Anthony G. Atkielski]

In case anyone here hasn't seen this article:

Google is using GPS and atomic time synchronization across its data
centers to ensure database consistency in innovative ways. Apparently
there's a paper out on the system now but I haven't read it (yet).

I wonder what happens if someone parks a truck outside a data center
with a GPS spoofing device.
