I think we can infer that Andrei meant to say 09:00-08:00. Unless there is some shenanigans with moving the clocks forward an hour.

He probably refers to some study of reddit activity, results of that study might not match his time zone. Also you detected it as UTC-7.

Though it lists 20130227 as discouraged format, but it's a valid ISO 8601 format, and phobos Date.toISOString generates string in that format:

Yes, it's supported, because it's standard, but it's preferred that toISOExtString be used precisely because the non-extended format is not only discouraged, but it's harder to read (which is probably why it's discouraged).
