  • Of course it’s not a certainty but there is a significant probability. And that probability increased with the supreme court ruling granting blanket immunity.

    Trump is a criminal, and SCOTUS just declared that nothing he does is a crime if he’s President. There are many scenarios where things get violent, he orders the military to do crazy shit and part of the military wants to follow his order while another part refuses.





  • Yeah it’s just being angry about the fact that the Earth is rotating ball. Wanting to abolish timezones is different from Flat Earth only be degrees.

    Sure the “what time is it there?” question goes away, but it’s replaced by “what are your business hours?”

    Ultimately it will be daytime in one part of the world while it’s night in another part of the world. That will always cause problems.


  • This is actually the best approach.

    Obviously they are getting timezone information otherwise the app could only display whatever time the user entered in.

    If you want to sort things by the actual time, it’s simple and performant if all of the times are in the same timezone, and UTC would be the standard one to use. Pushing the timezone calculations to the client makes sense because the UTC time is correct, it’s just a matter of displaying it in a user friendly way, ie. show the time in the user’s timezone.
