If you mean the number of times the date changes:
At least we no longer have to worry about things like the US Navy changing
the date at noon rather than midnight, as they did well into the middle
1800s. (There really was a reason...noon is relatively easy to detect,
except on really cloudy days. GPS removes that qualifier. ;-))
San Diego celebrated the arrival of the first US Navy ship in the harbor on
the wrong day for many years until someone in the mid 1980s pointed out that
said ship had anchored after noon, and so had logged the next day as viewed
from land.
