I wonder if hour of day would benefit from being combined with HN's visitors location data to be truly relevant? I think the location is embedded in the time somehow if the visitors' origins are stable over time. If 9am PT is a popular time and most of the visitors are on the PT timezone then even if this 9am PT is encoded as UTC the model will pick it up (I think). Now, if over time visitors get more diverse and a big chunk is now coming from Europe, this original 9am will make less sense to the model. Adding visitors origin stats at time of the post would probably even help surface region trends. But I guess this historical data isn't public.
