This is definitely my ideal solution. Does it really matter whether businesses in an area cluster around a work schedule called 900 - 1700 or 300 - 1100? Not at all. Why do we bother? In a global...
This is definitely my ideal solution. Does it really matter whether businesses in an area cluster around a work schedule called 900 - 1700 or 300 - 1100? Not at all. Why do we bother? In a global world the parochial nature of time zones seems so last century.
I'll agree with @reese about DST, but disagree with you both about time zones. I'll let Sam "qntm" Hughes make the argument in favor of keeping them around, because he does so much more eloquently...

I'll let Sam "qntm" Hughes make the argument in favor of keeping them around, because he does so much more eloquently and thoroughly than I could: So You Want To Abolish Time Zones. The tl;dr is: now instead of having to know that location x is y hours off your time zone z (or googling current time in x), you now have to memorize (or google) arcane tables of local daylight hours for each location x you're interested in, plus you've obliterated the concept of the "day", and it only gets worse from there.
I'll concede that things get a little iffier for people who live in communities straddling time zone borders, but, guess what: they, like all humans, adapt.
...Wait a second, wasn't this thread about a YouTube video about a game?
I really don't think that's a eloquent argument against it. There are regular and repeated strawmen and reductio ad absurdum claims in there, down to arguing that you'd need a webcam to tell...
I really don't think that's a eloquent argument against it. There are regular and repeated strawmen and reductio ad absurdum claims in there, down to arguing that you'd need a webcam to tell whether the sun is up in Melbourne. If his argument starts with acknowledging that he's currently googling to tell when it's an appropriate time to call and ends with his uncle having a sleep schedule that diverges from the standard daytime for his area anyway so that he couldn't know regardless, there's no way to discuss the technical issues in the middle. That's an entertainment piece.
Yeah, I like talking about Paradox, but the logistics of time are way more interesting. :)
