What victim? What extortion? What are you talking about? You are just simply hating a process you hadn't even tried just for the sake of hating it. Even before the existence of gTLDs there were stupid legal cases because companies like

Domains have always been a business, otherwise .com domains would be free, the fact that the opening bid is 185k reflects even more that domains are a business. You can still get a good 2nd level domain for way less than 185k, just look for

Whats the difference between obamasucks.com, obamasucks.net, obamasucks.org, ... and obama.sucks? If you really want to prevent any possible domain which contains "obama" and "sucks" from being registered, there is a ser

You know, ASM code can be hacked, and the older the ASM code, the less complex it is, because the compilers were not as aggressive as today's. This has been done with abandoned games to fix bugs and compatibility issues, ex. Forgotten

@nirvdrum: I can't reply to you directly, probably because of the downvotes, but anyway... My point is that when you design a trial, you should look for constraints that are more difficult to abuse, and also more valuable for a user, a

There is a service which gives you unlimited disposable credit card numbers, just ask your bank for it. You can't stop abuse against a time-based trial, so why use a time-based trial? I don't know your business, but you should con

Following your recommendation, to people interested in learning about Modern C++, Stroustrup's Tour of C++ is a recommended read. http://www.stroustrup.com/Tour.html

What if you need a job because your company decided to do a massive layoff? Usually I would have fun at dumb recruiting processes, but right now I'm in no condition to be picky about getting a new job.

In general HN is pretty centered, but there is always a slight bias, I don't complain about it, it is expected, there's no place without bias. But when you play the devil's advocate you have to take a little bit of extra care

It was just a matter of luck, try using [citation needed] with an argument the HN Community usually disagrees with (for ex. one which favors C or C++ over Rust or Go), and the results will be completely different.
