The more interesting question would be how did the 5 richest people in 2020 do. My guess is some did better than others. And how does that compare to the S&P.


Seems many people have ideas for adding features. But nobody is really talking about whether they are using it in their day to day (or would use it).

My primary use case would be setting up a meeting across timezones, but my calendar app already shows me overlapping times.

Or knowing what time it is for family or a friend, but then that becomes second nature if you’ve been in different timezones for a while.

Or just seeing what time it is somewhere right now, but phones have multiple clocks, or a “what time is it in x?” search answers the question.

If the many suggested features are added, would you use it? How will this help you?


If you work with people across multiple timezones, it's really useful to be able to open a screen with a set of clocks and glance at the time in every relevant timezone.

If I just have https://time.fyi/timezones bookmarked, it seems to remember the timezones that are important to me. Definitely convenient and far easier than doing multiple searches or using a phone's multiple clocks(?).

This site is useful enough and it's a nice execution.


Having been through this exercise as a former employee of a bank calculating this exact thing, this makes sense to me so is hopefully helpful for the poster.


I’m surprised this is surprising or insightful.


I'm surprised you assumed that's what it was intended to be.


As someone who never studied computer science formally, I find this perspective fascinating - for me, programming is the tool to solve the problem. It often feels like folks study the tool. And the problem is important too.
