It comes out super early for PST folk. Maybe push it back an hour or two?
I'm not sure I grasp. The Daily is currently created at 5am Central Time (which is 3am Pacific Time). Are you saying to move it to like 4am or 5am Pacific?
I was thinking of suggesting moving it the other direction, so that those in Europe (SN's second largest user base) posting even mid-morning do not end up finding their comment become memory holed in the previous day's thread (at 10am GMT).
There's always someone where this daily cut-off would occur at an inconvenient time, but if that concept of a new post each day remains, the least number of users impacted would likely occur (from personal, casual observation of comments activity on the Daily Discussion thread) by putting the cut-off at probably midnight Central Time, which is 10pm Pacific (West Coast), and 5am/6am GMT, and 10:30am/11:30am IST (India). The 5am/6am GMT is because of the Daylight Savings time adjustment. I don't remember if the Daily Discussion is occurring at a specific time UTC, or a specific time Central Time, so I might have those adjustments above for DST flipped.
