For me they used to appear at 3:10 pm, just after I bring the kids home from school. I was wondering if daylight savings started in the U.S or something. I checked and found that isn’t till October.
It’s controlled by an IT script and there is a scheduled time for it to execute. The IT team probably changed the time to reduce the chances that the script would fail, maybe due to backups taking longer to finish. At any rate, they are aiming for better uptime and fewer failures. I really doubt the service-level agreement (SLA) requires them to be up before 6AM EDT. The old benchmark was the time that your newspaper would be delivered to your home. Of course, that’s no longer the expectation of online readers.
