Bedtime? Where in the world is it bedtime at this moment?
This policy is only workable if your country uses a little-used language and takes up only a single timezone.
Dumb idea. Unnecessary complexity in a website.
- solox3 6y agoThe script uses the device time.
- dheera 6y agoThat doesn't work well for me because I use UTC as my device time regardless of where I am in the world. IP geolocation isn't a good idea either because I often access pages through a VPN in another timezone. In short, nice thought but no thanks.
- asadlionpk 6y agoYou want websites to cater to a stupid outlier usecases like yours?
- dang 6y agoPlease don't call names in HN comments. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. I'm sure you can make your substantive points thoughtfully. That will both represent them better and enhance the community rather than damaging it.
- sneak 6y agoThe page mentions it uses the local clock/time zone in the browser viewing the page.
- simonblack 6y agoWhy would you go to the bother of producing a website and then shut other people out of it just because you're asleep. Even worse is assuming that because it's their bedtime, they have no right to think they can use the website. So many assumptions. It reminds me of my ethnic mother's command, "I'm cold. Go and put a jumper on."
