alt Hacker NewsYeah, if only we would define seconds to be 13.4% shorter than that are, we could have 100ks days. Also, ksecs would be a really convenient unit for planning one's day: a ~15 minute resolution is just right for just about any type of appointment.
Oh, and 1Ms weeks, consisting of 7 working days and 3 off days sound nice too.
One can dream! :-)
Much better to make seconds slightly larger than 2 seconds, and move to a dozenal system throughout. One hour is (1000)_12 novoseconds. A semi-day is (10000)_12.
Oh, we should switch our standard counting system to dozenal a well.
