"In this API you need to pass the epoch in user's timezone."

WTF!! can this world be any worse...... how many epochs are there in this world?

I guess it's to account for non-unix systems..?

But 1970-01-01 should suffice

@lotd epoch timestamps are always in UTC/GMT ... it does not have any timezone, because epoch just measures the number of seconds/milliseconds since 1/1/1970 midnight .. there is no such thing as windows epoch or mac epoch ... or US epoch and russia epoch ... its just a number increasing at a fixed rate since its inception :( ....

@nonce I know.
I'm simply saying what I think the dev might have thought.

Something like a measure against year 2038 problem..

Not a good solution by any means.

@lotd I wish engineers here were so thoughtful, these guys still think why there is no Date() constructor that take timezone :)) ... may be Java designers missed it :D
