That's interesting because I work in industrial data and pretty much everything is stored and logged as UTC to avoid these kinds of mess ups.

  best practice for a real calendar app was to store in local time with time zone, not UTC with offset

What enrages me is the longstanding precedent that the government cannot read your letters without a warrant, but apparently electronic messages that are directly analogous are fair game.

The security research is probably the biggest reason to use local models as it seems like the big service providers will ban you for life if you even hint at doing that.

- Vitamin D.
