I'm trying to create a buffer around a feature in a polygon in QGIS. Trying to do 100m buffer, but when I run it, I just get a huge circle around what my shapefile was showing originally.  I have tried changing CRSs on the layer, and the project a million times. I always try to find one that uses meters (+vunits=m right?). I've saved the layer and opened it fresh to make sure the project  had the same CRS and it keeps doing the same thing. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
I'm very new to the GIS world, so my problem could be very stupid, but I'm going to try anyway.  Objective  Given a list of coordinates in longitude/latitude, stored as a .csv file, I want to create a buffer with distance of x km around those coordinates. (In case this is relevant, these coordinates are locations of the societies in the . These societies scatter all around the world.)  Problem  I'm only able to create buffers with distance in radial degrees, but I want to do them in (kilo)meters. I'm aware of the following Q&amp;A's, but following what's suggested therein doesn't seem to solve my problem:          What I have tried...   I start QGIS (v2.4), and Add delimited text layer  choose my .csv file and the x/y fields, click OK select WGS 84 as my CRS (also tried NAD83 but didn't make a difference), click OK right-click on layer and select Save As..., in the dialog box, choose the following and click OK:  add sccs_meter.shp as layer to the current project Select Vector > Geoprocessing Tools > Buffers > set buffer distance as 10   The result is a buffer with radius of approximately 1068km, which suggests that buffer distance is 10 degrees rather than 10 meters.  What did I do wrong here?
For a Google account, you are allowed to sync Contacts and People details. What is the difference between these two? I try to share my internet connection from my laptop (win7) via virtual wifi to my android phone (Samsung Gio). In an elevated cmd I enter  netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=VWiFi key=xxx keyUsage=persistent netsh wlan start hostednetwork   The android phone connects to VWifi, but the internet connection is hardly usable on the phone while the internet connection on my laptop is very good at the same time (some Mbps)  What works: I can start WhatsApp, type and receive text messages, so I guess there's no general problem, i.e. config can't be completely wrong - but when I try to send pics or audio or try to receive pics or audio messages then I see from the network monitor on my laptop that the connection doesn't even try to send or receive anything (0 kbps up/down).  What sometimes works: connection to some websites with acceptable speed - but sometimes I don't get a single byte. Also this is not reproducible - the same website sometimes shows up, sometimes android tells my the site was not available.  What never worked so far: connecting to Google Play Store. It always tells me to check my connection and try again.  What I tried so far: I read on problems with IPv6, but no matter if I enable or disable IPv6 in the settings of the virtual Wifi, it doesn't help.  I also read about problems related to static/dynamic IPs, my netsh interface ip show config tells my that dchp isn't enabled on my virtual Wifi connection. If I try to enable it by netsh interface ip set address "myWificonnection" dhcp the android phone won't even connect anymore to the virtual Wifi at all. So there may be a solution here if android would connect with dhcp enabled.  I also read about problems with MAC filters, but this is no router, there's no MAC filter in the virtual Wifi.  When I directly connect to a real WLAN router, everything is fine and working. I have the problems only when trying to get into the internet via the virtual Wifi.  Any ideas what may be configured wrong? Either on laptop or on android? Thanks. This is a  about DNS/Hostnames resolution to IPs/Ports   Example 1  I'm running a web server on port 80 and another on port 87. I would like to use DNS so that www.example.com goes to port 87. How can I accomplish this using DNS only?  Example 2  I'm running a service on my server on a non-standard port. How can I get clients to connect to this non-standard port automatically? Can I use DNS? Is there some application specific support where DNS could indicate the IP and Port?   Example 3  Do some application protocols specifically support hostname awareness, and allow special actions to be taken based on this information? Are there other questions on Server Fault that cover some of these?  Commandeering: This question was originally asking about running IIS and Apache on the same server, but the same concepts can be applied to any server software receiving connections from clients. The Answers below describe the technical problems and solutions of using DNS and application protocol support to assign a port number for a client to connect. Override a single JavaScript file from a module How to interpret the coefficients from a beta regression? I have some data that is bounded between 0 and 1. I have used the betareg package in R to fit a regression model with the bounded data as the dependent variable. My question is: how do I interpret the coefficients from the regression? Story about a utopian city that periodically destroys itself I read this story a long time ago and cannot remember either the title or the author. It was written in the 60s or 70s. The setting is sometime in the 21 century.  Here is a summary of the plot.  One of the great classical composers (maybe it was Schubert, I'm not sure) is revived with some future technology. All the guys in the lab are very happy about it, the world cheers the achievement. The composer is also quite excited to be alive. Naturally, he is asked to perform a concert. He asks for ink and music paper. Nobody knows what that is: in those days everybody writes music directly in "frequency spectrum" and similar stuff.  The composer, excited to create music again, tries to come up with something but he doesn't like anything he writes. The music is well written, but lacks something essential, it doesn't sound like his real music. Finally, the composer realizes that the lab guys recreated his mind from reviews by music critics, and his music just sounds like that. He performs the concert. The audience enjoys it, applauds and bravos. Not only to composer, but also to the lab guys.   At the end, if I remember it right, the composer gloats over the  primitive taste of the audience. The audience who writes music in frequency spectrum and applauds to lab guys at the music concert did not see the failure in the concert and ate it as it is.  Does someone recognize the story?  PS all the recent talk of advent of AI machines with Machine Learning algorithms reminded me of this story. Does set difference distribute over set intersection? I am asked to prove that, if $A, B$ and $C$ are sets, then $$A-(B\cap C)=(A-B)\cap(A-C).$$  However, I think that either I have made an error in my working, or the wording of the problem contains a typographical error.    My working so far is as follows: $$\begin{align}x\in(A-(B\cap C)) &amp;\iff (x\in A)\wedge(x\not\in(B\cap C))\\ &amp;\iff(x\in A)\wedge((x\not\in B)\vee(x\not\in C))\\ &amp;\iff((x\in A)\wedge(x\not\in B))\vee((x\in A)\wedge(x\not\in C))\\ &amp;\iff(x\in(A-B))\vee(x\in(A-C))\\ &amp;\iff x\in((A-B)\cup(A-C)) \end{align}$$  First line to second line: by De Morgan's Law. Second line to third line: by distributivity of set intersection over set union. Third line to fourth line: by definitions of intersection and set difference.   If my working is correct, then I have shown that $$A-(B\cap C)=(A-B)\cup(A-C).$$ Am I correct? Why don't the heads of phospholipid bilayers repel hydrophobic molecules? "Series" – a noun of multitude similar to "lot", "majority", "percentage", "proportion"– verb agreement According to Garner's fourth edition  Though serving as a plural when the need arises, series is ordinarily a singular noun. But it is also a noun of multitude, so that phrases such as a series of things take a plural verb. However, the collocation there {has been - is} a series has predominated in print sources. Common nouns of multitude: lot, majority, mass, minority, multitude, percentage, proportion, variety.  However,  reads  When it has the singular sense of &quot;one set,&quot; it takes a singular verb, even when series is followed by of and a plural noun: A series of lectures is scheduled.  Are these dissimilar usages stylic advice? Secondly, the inversion after there also chooses singular elsewhere; why is it so?  When the verb precedes the noun percentage, a singular verb is required. That is, a higher percentage of them are, but there is a higher percentage of them. I have named him/he who shall not be named. Which of these is correct? I think it should be "him" because "him" is a direct object in this context. In this context, "him/he who shall not be named" is not a proper noun.

If a creature with Multiattack is affected by Haste, can it make two Multiattacks? It's a fairly straightforward question.   A creature has a Multiattack option, and it also can cast the Haste spell. While under the effect of Haste, can it use the second Action to take another Multiattack Action?  My main concern is the clause of the Haste spell that limits the number of attacks made from taking the Attack Action. This is a different Action, though.   Then there is the concern of being able to use Multiattack at all, because Haste says what kinds of Actions you can take. How do I drop root privileges in shell scripts? The "--up" option in OpenVPN is normally used for routing etc. And so it is processed before OpenVPN drops root privileges to run as nobody. However, I am invoking shell scripts that need to run as an unprivileged user.  How do I do that? I have studied , especially polynomial's and tylerl's answers, but I do not understand how to implement. I am working in Centos 6.5, and suid is blocked, both as "chmod u+s" and as "setuid()".  There is an OpenVPN plugin ("openvpn-down-root.so") which enables scripts invoked by the "--down" option to run as root. There could be an equivalent, such as "openvpn-up-user.so", but I have not found it.  Edit0  Per Nikola Kotur's answer, I've installed . Although the chpst command works in terminal, in the up script it fails with "command not found". What works is "sudo chpst" plus setting the proper display and language. Please see  Given that, the up script needs these four lines:  LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export LANG GDM_LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export GDM_LANG DISPLAY=:0; export DISPLAY sudo chpst -u user -U user /home/user/unprivileged.sh &amp;   Edit1  Per 0xC0000022L's comment, I find that "sudo -u user" works as well as "sudo chpst -u user -U user":  LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export LANG GDM_LANG="en_US.UTF-8"; export GDM_LANG DISPLAY=:0; export DISPLAY sudo -u user /home/user/unprivileged.sh &amp;   I'll study man sudoers and update if/when I get sudo alone to work. Is $\le$ defined by $\langle 𝑥_1, 𝑦_1 \rangle \le \langle 𝑥_2, 𝑦_2 \rangle$, if $𝑥_1 \le 𝑥_2 \land𝑦_1 \ge 𝑦_2$ a linear order? I need to tell if the relation $\le$ defined by relationship $\langle 𝑥_1, 𝑦_1 \rangle \le \langle 𝑥_2, 𝑦_2 \rangle$, if $𝑥_1 \le 𝑥_2$ $\land$ $𝑦_1 \ge 𝑦_2$ linear order?   I have already proven that the relation is an order, but I need to decide if it is a linear order and why. Thanks for any help! How do I get Siri to pronounce my name correctly?
