He doesn’t address the inevitable objection that UTC is “western” centered.
- selcuka 5y agoI don't see how that can be an objection to using a single timezone globally? We don't have to choose UTC.
- pessimizer 5y agoAs a person who preemptively complains about other people theoretically complaining that something that hasn't happened is "western centered," I personally can't imagine not making this western centered.
- ghaff 5y agoPractically speaking, you're picking GMT or probably ES(D)T (NYC). And GMT is probably a slightly better choice for both historical reasons and because it's closer to more land timezones today.
- ironmagma 5y agoSo? This would be an objection no matter where it was centered. Center it on Antarctica and someone else will find that objectionable.
