Could you please tell me what is UTC time exactly...
I'm currently developing a web application and don't know how to display the correct time to my user...
What's the best solution for that?

Its basically a standard time that you can use that's universal. It means you can record when things happen without worrying about the local time.
However, for it to be useful for display, you have to convert the UTC time back to a local time.

Seems duplicate but still, This might help you to solve your problem, Please let me know if it's duplicate I will delete this answer and you may delete your question, We should keep this place clean :)
How to show a UTC time as local time in a webpage?

I would like to know if there is any problem or any sort of combinations that can not be solved using SQL language.
Is there any list in the web where I can find situations that are impossible to measure using SQL?
Or is everything possible to calculate using SQL.
Thank you.
SQL is pretty flexible, but it can't do everything. However there is no handy guide that I know of that lists what it can't do. There are things that I think you can do but shouldn't: anything that involves doing calculations one row at a time are very inefficient and will generally be faster if done in code.

Is there BigQuery currently a service outage that anyone is aware of? My async queries in my web application just suddenly stopped retrieving data - I just get no response (no error message etc.)
I have a back-end process that imports data into bigquery, that seems to be working fine, however.
We believe we've identified and fixed the problem. Apologies for the disruption! If you see further problems, please let us know.

I know this may not be the correct place to post this, but how do I know if a certain chip is dead? My friend has this Atmega32 and he seems to have connected it to 9V battery for a minute maybe.. He's unsure about it, but I think the chip is damaged, So, is there any way to check if that is the case?
You have read the datasheet right! - the Electrical Characteristics section.
Even if it appears to work, parts of it may have failed, or stressed to the point that they will fail soon. Any necessary over-voltage protection should ideally be designed into your circuit's power-supply design.
Does it program? Do the I/O ports work? Did it emit magic smoke?
Likely, its dead.

Is there an API which can be used to get data about what happened On this day in history .
Like the wikipedia home page shows On this day these events happened in history and these are the birthdays today ?
Wikipedia produces this data based on the extensive data and tagging of articles etc in its DB. Your best bet is probably going to be to scrape a wiki page that shows this.
Note: Don't fall foul of copyrights etc ! - There I said it. Can't get sued now!
Update 2021:
As mentioned by #sagun-raj-lage, it looks like there is now an API you can use officially, with an endpoint for onthisday: see https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#/Feed/onThisDay

I am creating a pricing program. I need to calculate the amounts according to the current tax list in the US (in various places).
I want to have a button 'Update taxes' in the administrative settings of the application, so when the user clicks it, it should download from somewhere the active tax amounts.
So I actually want to have a function decimal GetTax(string zip).
Does anyone knows about a free downloadable xml, or RSS accessible or even a website that I can crawle in and get this info from?
There are a number of third-party solutions out there. Here is one:
