Land ownership is not really absolute; it is always subject to the definitions of the local law and, ultimately, the whims of the government.

You don't have complete power over what you do to your land, because the government has the last word. On the other hand, without government, there is no land ownership because the definition and enforcement of land ownership is one of the most ultimate functions of any government, since the creation of first city-states (e.g. ancient Babylon).

So if the government permits you to dig that hole in the first place, then what happens in an earthquake depends on local legislation. I don't really know how it works e.g. in the U.S. but I would assume that the boundary of your piece of land is defined in relation to physical markers that are recorded with their geocoordinates, but if the lay of the land changes so that the markers move, then the boundary of your plot will also move. And this could mean that the size of your plot changes.

Where I live, for instance, there are old boundary stones (which would in an earthquake naturally move along with the land on which they are laid) and newer marker bolts attached to bedrock that serve as reference points for geodesic measurement purposes. Also, there are height markers; for instance, when I started to build my house, the city would send a guy with equipment and start from one of these markers and then tell me if the foundations of the house are at right elevation. Should there be a major earthquake (not really a possibility here, ours is just about the most stable bedrock on Earth) then the changed positions (coordinates) would have to be recorded in land registry.

At least he deleted the pictures of the girl. To share her story (edit: I removed some details here) along with her (hopefully fake!) name can already put her in danger, considering the extremely conservative environment she is likely still in. But to include pictures of her - I am at a loss for words at this level of insensitivity.

Here's hoping the pictures won't show up in archived versions of the article.
$4,900 for a barebones system is still too high for a platform meant to compete with a PC tin bucket server, where 1U barebones start at $800, and a decent 32GB / 4TB server can be had for $1,800.

Next on the list, if I don't want to run Linux (and I don't) what other freeware choices do I have? As far as I know only beta versions of AIX were gratis, everything else had a hefty licensing fee. Those kinds of games don't fly in this day and age, hence anything that is not intel and freeware and open source has been relegated to dwindling sales, and close to non-existent market uptake. itanium, POWER, UltraSPARC - examples aplenty.

When will AIX, the volume manager, and the compilers become freeware / open source, or at the very least freeware?

It's official: your notion of falsifiability is confused.

This has nothing to do with data validity; the data can be both valid and sufficient to falsify a claim. Invalid data do not falsify claims, because they are invalid.

Further, you're arguing that correlation doesn't imply causation. This is true, but again has nothing to do with falsifiability.

However, the absence of a correlation is sufficient to falsify the claim that global warming is caused by CO2.

I truly mean no disrespect, but you're betraying dire ignorance.

This is the real issue, so many C++ features are hampered due to the drop-in compatibility with C code.
Until you need to innovate. It sounds like a skill for worker bees.
Depends on a lot of factors.

Is the content mostly text or does it have a lot of images/videos/sound files? If the former, it's a lot cheaper to run than the latter (hence why a lot of big community sites are so 'vanilla').

What's the audience/topic? Some fields are easier to monetise than others. People in tech are more likely to use Adblockers, but they're also more likely to try out new methods of monetisation (like say, a Patreon type system or something involving Bitcoin).

How much do you know about running a server? Much cheaper to run a big site on an unmanaged service than a managed one.

How many people post vs how many people read. More posting in less time = more server resources and more service costs.

What script do you use? Something lightweight and lacking in a lot of features is going to hold up for longer on a shared server than something like XenForo or IPB or VBulletin.

So it can be really cheap if you're after a simple forum with an audience that doesn't block ads and might be willing to spend a lot on subscriptions or donations. It can be really expensive if you're offering a live video chat microblogging/livestreaming service.

I've seen large forums with hundreds of thousands of posts on $5 a month hosting, and sites with about 50 users needing a dedicated server.

That's interesting, I run one of the more esoteric mainstream distros, Arch, and I almost never have problems with Linux games on Steam. I ran into one issue with Hyper Light Drifter and libxcb incompatibility. Otherwise, everything has just worked to my memory.

My problem with this is another howler for security:

Creating something that already exists.

Although OWASP are not legally mandated, they are the most respected go-to people for this kind of stuff and have much more exposure that your "guide" ever will, it also has a much greater level of review and scrutiny so instead to trying to help by increasing the web noise level and possibly making your own mistakes/ommissions (some of which are mentioned below), why not instead get engaged into the existing community and increase the quality of that if needed?
It's an rationalization from wealthy young upper middle class people who feel entitled to everything they want in life, used to attack wealthy homeowners who are entitled to make decisions about SF. And it's encouraged by mostly geriatric mega-wealthy large land owners who know 1) that that removing height and other restrictions will raise the value of their holdings even more, 2) that building high and ugly with inadequate parking or local services on property they already own will push those wealthy homeowners to sell en masse, and 3) they have the billions and the leverage to buy.

It's cynical manipulation of the selfishness of already entitled-feeling tech kids. All restrictions will be lifted, massive high-rises will go up, the property in the shade of them with be purchased by multi-billionaires, REITS and hedge funds, they will all instantly stop building and collude to keep rentals at the current prices, or even raise them, and all the tech kids will still be renting.

edit: it's a fantasy to think that rental prices will go down if high-rises get built. Call me Nostradamus, but half of the units in those high-rises will sit empty and be used to write-off taxes from the owners' other holdings (at the current neighborhood rental value of course) just like in every other hot property market in the world.

One can argue that that thought requires effort as well as a number of other preconditions which are not guaranteed to occur without heavy investment. Not all ideas are equal. Some ideas may be just a mindless combination that can be otherwise obtained from a machinal set up, whereas others can be the result of years of work or of some genius visionary. What I consider necessary is a rating system and a qualification threshold for what is worth to be considered a thing that can be claimed and what can not. I'm aware that a deep rabbit hole is opening here around this issue, but the question is if it's worth having it nevertheless compared to what we have now.

>it can be a distraction to focus on that early on when what's most important is user adoption...

Distraction?

The wrong kind of initial user adaption will create a toxic community that excludes later users. Any community that goes unmoderated for long enough inevitably turns into a cesspool.

The most important users are the initial adaptors, they form the basis of the expectations of the community.
I'll assume you're not included in that opinion. Because attacking a fair comment was uncalled for; but allowed because you're an admin.

The reason why we use throwaways is precisely because of sporadic and heavy-handed "moderation" by you and your employees.

Not only that, but you engage in hellbanning. It's an absolutely disgusting practice, which only encourages us more honest users to hide behind throwaways... Or toe the line with silicon valley groupthink.

(note: you can delete this username whenever. I plan not to use this again. I don't want my regular accounts hellbanned.)
Not really. A sudoku puzzle is a set of squares arranged inside another, bigger square. If it were a square of squares, it would mean that you square the initial square's volume including the unit. But in this case, you're only multiplying with a count (or rather, a squared count, since we're talking about two dimensions).
I agree with you, however Bjarne wanted to sneak C++ into C code, given his experience being forced to use C (there are a few interviews where he mentions this).

So by having exceptions, with code that only knows about C semantics but was compiled with C++ mode, you open the door to all sorts of nasty surprises.

So exceptions can cause resource leaks and other issues like being thrown in the middle of a UNIX signal.

Which leads to the situation that sadly many library writers avoid them.

I still enjoy using C++, but the best place for it is as infrastructure language for the bottom layer when performance requires it, then using something else on the other layers.

Perhaps you should try to find an answer to the question why a checksum should be considered fair use. Fair use for a movie typically only covers short fragments, not (data computed from) the entire length of the movie.

Well I compile libguestfs (http://libguestfs.org/) on POWER8 fairly regularly and the compilations just fly past. I haven't benchmarked it, and I'm not allowed to benchmark it because of the NDAs we sign, but it's obviously faster than the Intel machines we have. Because of the single-threaded parts of the build (eg. ./configure), these builds benefit much more than just having lots of cores - Amdahl's law and all that.
A beefy desktop computer with four of these Titan X's will have 44 Teraflops of raw computing power, about "one fifth" of the raw computing power of the world's current 500th most powerful supercomputer.

There have been calls that Moore's Law is dead for at least 10 years, and yet desktops keep catching up to supercomputing.

I know this increase is not in single-threaded general-purpose computing power in the fashion of the old gigahertz race... But on the other hand, the scope of what's considered "general purpose" keeps expanding too. Machine learning may be part of mainstream consumer applications in 5 years.
You want to price your work product based on Customer Value if you can. As a businessman, you almost always want to sell value, not hours worked. The businesses you are selling to use the same metric.

The exception to this if you need to offset risk. If you have no idea how long the project will take, you may want need use some arrangement that caps your downside risk. Example: If the job involves Research and might not even be solvable, no time estimate is going to be accurate. In that case, you would want to work by the hour or something so if it takes longer than you think you aren't working for free.

A couple of things businesses pay for are:

A) Relief from pain (make the problem go away)

B) Reduction of risk (fixed price)

"A" is obvious but I think many new freelancers/consultants ignore "B". If you want to quote a fixed price, you absolutely need to price in a risk premium. If you "normal" rate is $100hr, your "fixed priced" needs to be some multiple of that, say $2-400hr.
True....

But... I quite like the theory that a developer has spent time (whilst not under much pressure) analysing crashes and potential crash scenarios, and programming to accommodate; rather than me trying to make a good-and-safe decision in milliseconds in the heat of the moment.
> Yes well um no, that only happens in a select few embedded bare metal projects.....

I see, they always write everything from scratch.

Then you need to wrap the Assembly instructions out* / in* into C functions or sprinkle all the code with inline assembly since libraries aren't used.
The new native WAL replication support makes it possible to add new features around analyzing the WAL as it's streamed, the most obvious being uploading partial segments at specified intervals or at various events (commits) to avoid losing the data in partial segments in case of a crash.

It could also be used to do things like collect metrics about the ratio of commits and rollbacks, etc. The current version of PGHoard doesn't have these features but we're planning to implement them in a future release.

Why would you think your profile is "secret" in any way to begin with? It is literally an app that shows you others using it NEARBY yourself. And a highly popular one at that.

The profiles are also public and there is no indication to them being private as far as I've ever read about the app.
Or a different title for this article because it assumes a lot of legwork has already been done. "How to get your app noticed when you already have a different app that has a userbase" would be more accurate.

This current title makes it seem like it's tips for getting the word around about your app (xda, reddit, HN, whatever) and leveraging that, giving away paid versions for free to a specific community etc. At least that's what I'd expect from a post titled like this.

According to the article:

> It was a short campaign, but it was enough to link KAT to a Latvian bank account, one that received €28 million ($31 million) in deposits -- mainly from advertising payments -- between August 2015 and March 2016.

$31 million income in just 7 months? That seems rather high, but if so there'll be no shortage of sites to replace it.
Sounds like the first one could've used http://trailblazer.to/ - so far I'm using the [Reform](https://github.com/apotonick/reform) gem more because the app I'm currently working on is getting more forms that consists of multiple models (ActiveRecord and API). A shame that the [ActionForm](https://github.com/railsgsoc/actionform) GSoC project didn't make it to Rails core.

I haven't bought the Trailblazer book yet but I probably will somewhere in the next couple of weeks.
That's a good point. We certainly don't know everything there is to know about the situation. There could very well have been circumstances beyond his control, or, circumstances that otherwise made the decision to push the limits much more reasonable.

That said, he doesn't explain any extenuating circumstances. He came across more like, 'And then my visa was about to expire that night. Crazy how visas expire all of a sudden, am I right?' If he didn't have much agency in the situation it doesn't seem to have bothered him enough to make a big deal about it.

Of course, he might have just felt rationalizing the situation wouldn't have added a whole lot to the essay, which it probably wouldn't have. Then again, who knows how much of the story is true and how much is entirely made up?
Which is what Kiro5hin tried to do. Banned a lot of people and then key users left the site. The diaties and story articles slowed down as more users stopped using it. Until nothing was left but a few trolls that controlled the story que and then FNH and other stories got published.

Kickass Torrents seized, founder arrested
Before we had them, the world was much less complex. Think of it this way - regulations allow societies to grow bigger. A village of 100 people can handle everything through interpersonal relations. A town of 10 000 will need a mayor. A country of 10 000 000 requires a government to exist.

The whole notion of "brigading" and "doxxing" that reddit has is just plan stupid. The whole site is build on linking stuff to other places on the internet, but suddenly, when you link to the site itself there's a problem? "Doxxing" is an issue, but reddit is overly sensitive where it's impossible to link publicly accessible data that the people in question put up for everyone to see. I've been banned for linking a facebook profile that had the same username as the account on reddit - stuff that takes one second to google.
When used for exceptional things, exceptions are wonderful. But they were never meant to completely replace status-related exit codes. Expected errors (ex: log file does not exist, so create a new one) are not to be treated via exceptions; exceptional errors (ex: no more memory available, and I'm just trying to allocate a few bytes) are.
I can't help consider the hypocrisy. Would a newspaper be seized, and the founder arrested, if some classified advertisements in the newspaper happened to contained stolen property? Is simply hosting torrent files illegal?
I'd assume its a process of slowly ramping up new IP addresses to send out emails. If you take an IP and instantly use it on a massive scale, I'm sure it triggers a lot of spam filters.

This isn't an answer to your question, but I have recently thought that a IDE/editor plugin to manually 'tag' lines/sections of code with a comment would be useful when starting with a new codebase, rather than having to remember everything. That said, I don't know how much that would negatively impact the end goal of internalising these things.
