1. Contract says that goods must be delivered at 4pm.
2. Government suddenly changes the law and moves the offset of whole country.
3. Contract is still valid, goods have to be delivered still at 4pm, but with new offset (so at different utc time).
(I guess timezoned time would still be better than local time, but UTC would not work here)
- mharig 3y ago1. Contract says that goods must be delivered at 4pm UTC Problem solved, unless the government changes the law too little before 4pm UTC. But handling this case in software is impractical.
- amluto 3y ago> (I guess timezoned time would still be better than local time, but UTC would not work here) Exactly.
