On one side one really needs people working 24/7, on the other I can't get why this would be a requirement. The best development progress is reached when people code for about 30 hours a week.

Huh? There's a political battle for CEO in a multi million dollar startup and then the very new CEO dies on a drug overdose and nobody talks about possible murder?
Why was this downvoted? At least in the TechCrunch articles that option wasn't even mentioned.

Just send your results or ideas to someone knowledgeable about the topic and ask their opinion.
This.
If you work in the field you know the 10-100 people who provide most expertise and you can build trust relationships with them by delivering interesting thoughts and then get their feedback on These ideas. That's the healthy approach. And if you work hard and the stuff you do is reasonable you will also become known in these circles.
Also technology can help weed out the complete b.s., see HN or Stackoverflow for examples on that.

Publishing to arXiv [1][2] is your best bet in the short term.
- Free
- Lots of subject areas (not just computer sci.)
- People may cite your work
- People may offer feedback
You do need to get endorsed first though [4] (as another comment mentions).
However, if you want "proper" peer reviewed & published, you need to start looking around at conferences. They're usually easier to get something through, as they tend to expect much shorter papers.
There are industry led conferences (like RuhrSec [3] for Cyber Security) which might be a good route to start with.
But, really, there's no shortcut for getting into a "proper" journal / conference. You need to research, have funds, time and, sometimes, a bit of fame already.

So, why would you want "proper" peer review nowadays? It should be a means to achieve something else. Just for the challenge?
I mean besides arXiv there are many ways you can get your knowledge out there if you want to give people free (or even paid) access to it. This will also create a lot of Feedback if it's the least bit interesting.
If you want your knowledge to generate new products and companies you will also find that Startups nowadays don't wait for peer review before they launch.
So the only practical reason I can see is if you want to get funding. And Then you use the funding to create more papers. To… well… get more funding.
TL;DR: If you think about that you want to have "proper" peer review meaybe you should spend some time thinking about what you actually want to achieve and if there aren't better ways to get there.

If I had to guess, they reduce the censorship during the day to lessen the effect on businesses. In the evening it's primarily going to be people using the internet at home, which they'll want to control more tightly.
Also in 9-5 China time most western people are not online. But in the Chinese evening Europe wakes up and then slowly also the US comes online leaking into the Chinese morning.

The Problem with this Kind of interview is that a lot of These Manager types won't do interviews About their Jobs. So you will only get interviews with ~20% of them who are probably neither at the top nor at the Bottom of the Manager sphere.

Which of the two is Linux? It's more like Windows vs Java.
Then as engineer what can you do? Either assume toxic Management (and switch Jobs) or do a subset of what you would usually do, and that means optimize for your own browser first and only work on bugs known to your management for the other browsers.
