Hi there HN'ers,

I've been working remotely for a few years now, for various companies and clients.

One itch I needed to sratch is timezone conversion. It's always a mental effort to figure out when someone in your team will be around, and to compute when you should schedule that meeting so that everyone invited gets a "respectable" time.

Here I present you whena.re, the most intuitive timezone viewer for your team ;)

It's been live for something like a year now, lots of people use it and feedback has been great so far,

I released a Slack integration so I'm hoping this will convince some of you to give it a shot if you've never tried it before!

Happy to discuss some more if you have questions or comments,

tl;dr: governance is hard, there's no silver bullet, every system may be tricked. "good blockchain governance" would rely on gathering the result of multiple "coordination flags" like a user vote, a coin vote, core dev decisions, etc.

Very complete "here are the limitation, in the end, just don't be dumb" article.

About the bribing part: Could we get rid of it if voting is anonymous (I can't reward you with a bribe), and we give right to coins that haven't moved for a certain amount of time (I can't ask for your money and your account has to be "old enough") ?

Since I couldn't find any explanation on the article:

> Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification.

Appears to be a packaging systems for (desktop) apps on linux with auto-updates and stuffs.

Interesting "we must learn/accept/fight to cohabit" view, It's super American - Westerners centric though, what happens if decentralised currencies take off in emerging countries?

I like the idea,

I'm miss one thing: the minute someone says "I'd buy 100NIL for X ETH", the IFO becomes an ICO no? We just added an extra-step.

Thanks for sharing, I'm curious to see these circles lighten depending on project activity (releases, conferences, etc).

I want a similar platform with reproducibility built in: your paper gets in the blockchain, if and only if, its results can be reproduced by other members ("Proof Of Reproducibility").

Exactly my cliché of the Clojure community: a discussion about simple things like testing and tooling becomes a place to brag about some random features of Clojure. Insulting my patience (or the original author) on the way is a new one.

You're just confirming my last point, professional Clojurist? Enjoy it. Others, be warned.

You mean complex is easy, simple is hard?

You may not know: on Unity you can saturate / desaturate the windows. I set them almost black and white and increase the saturation when I need it (shift + brigthness up / down).

I have no idea if it provide health benefits similar to the "orangy filters" but it's pretty nice on the eyes and, personally, it makes me happy to see the outside world with brighter colors than my screen.

You miss the point, they want you to do more mental maths :)

I'd love to get a thoughtful explanation for mid-2012, I understand it as a rewrite + removing "wrong" design decisions made in 2009.
