How is that going to help anything? This is an issue with human circadian rhythms, not with conventions of keeping time.

- SifJar 7y agoProbably doesn't help with figuring out when to meet, but would maybe help with communicating the time by removing any chance of ambiguity. Or if you're asking e.g. "Does 10.30am work for you?" etc. But really, it's not hard to state the timezone along with the time if there's any chance of confusion.
- BurningFrog 7y agoIt helps with agreeing to do something together online at a certain time. Including announcing online events. Nothing else. But that's enough.
- netsharc 7y ago"Let's set the meeting at 16:00 [UTC is implied]." "Sorry Bob, we in Sydney will be asleep at that time."
- BurningFrog 7y agoYou probably meant that as a counterargument, but to me it shows how simple UTC makes things.
- netsharc 7y agoI edited my comment and it turned to nonsense. What if the Sydneysiders aren't in the call? I'm in Central European Time right now. If I want to set a meeting with New Yorkers, I have to know what time the NYers wake up in my time zone (14:00 here is 9:00 New York - although this might change in 2 days as we'll both be in Summer Time). If I use UTC, I still have to know what time (in UTC) the New Yorkers wake up...
- BurningFrog 7y agoYeah. We have no disagreements about that. > If I use UTC, I still have to know what time (in UTC) the New Yorkers wake up... This is also true under the current system.
