Timezone of "AoE" for a conference submission deadline? I noticed this submission deadline for a conference listed as


  January 12th 2017, 23:59, AoE


(that's not the real date, just an example). An explanation says "Anywhere on Earth". Does that mean the deadline is at the first point in time there's someplace on Earth which hits 23:59, or the last point? In other words, does Hawaii get discriminated against or for? :-)
This means that as long as there is a place on earth where the deadline has not yet passed, you can still submit.

Thus, it is the time zone of e.g. Baker Island: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/baker-island
