Better approach for handling decay.

Quite often a post or article goes six or eight hours before getting a single upvote, especially those posted at like midnight (American time). But then when the majority of SN users come online, say from 6am to noon, Eastern (U.S.) time, the new posts will get upvoted and the post that never got any upvotes at midnight will never make it to the front page, even though it gets just as much love (upvotes, tips) from those waking up and checking SN, 6am to noon.

So there's essentially a penalty for posting in the late evening, and very early morning hours (Eastern time). I'ld like to see decay modified so as to not penalize these articles that were barely noticed overnight.
