gollark: They need accurate timing from *something* and I doubt they'll just use random public NTP servers.
gollark: They say there are $0.75 of energy costs at the datacentre for streaming a 3GB video.
gollark: Time is very important for security.
gollark: I think that's just for timing without reliance on external sources.
gollark: Anyway, given their estimate of the energy costs borne by the data centre end to stream a video, and the fact that Netflix makes money at their price point, their estimates can't actually be right.
