Unnecessary arithmetic, even if correct, which the second cannot be.
One need only go back by the 0..6 days given by getDay() from the last
possible date. No need for mod 7 here.
Actually, after new Date(), setDate(2) will be just as accurate as your
inrtended code for startDST, and after the end of this Summer,
setDate(29) for endDST.
