When the deadline to send a file is 12th of august, do i have to send it until 23:59 on 11th august or until 23:59 on 12th august?

i would play it safe and probably do the former out of paranoia but the latter sounds correct

I was gonna say, it's funny you ask because I just found out today about the Kanye thing that Sean mentioned. Anyway I think .. it depends on which one the deadline-maker means, so you should find out if you plan to wait 'til the last minute. I don't know which way is more usual or conventional.

The Kanye thing, though, I think is kinda silly since 5:00:59 is such an arbitrary number, what about 5:00:01?

hey there was just a story about something like this - Kanye West tried to file paperwork to run for president - the deadline to file was 5:00 PM and he filed at 5:00 and 14 seconds, his lawyers are making the argument that the deadline is inclusive up to 5:00:59 so we will see

I'd say the former. 1 as its better to be safe than sorry. and 2 because 00:01 on the 12th would be past the deadline... right?
