Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a post on Rails timezone problems. The one comment cites it as a fuller description of an odd timezone issue in a Rails 2.3 to 3.0 upgrade.

What Hacker News says?
That timezone issue (further described here: http://www.benjaminoakes.com/2010/11/23/rails-timezones/ ) sound like an odd one - anyone know what the underlying cause of the problem is?
