> Why? It's a luxury purchase like any other. There's nothing wrong with that. As long as people know what theyre signing up for let them do their thing!

If that's what people view it as, and they're ok with how much debt they're going to incur and all of the stipulations that come with that debt, then more power to them. Can't argue with that.

But I think many people are not really doing that value calculation thoroughly or at all. There are a lot of students who sign up for college because that's what they "should" do and they don't necessarily properly evaluate whether the cost is worth it in lifetime earning potential or personal fulfillment.

It's kind of like the housing market before the bubble. Most Americans believed that they "should" own a house and believed that real estate is always a good investment. We all see how that turned out.

Given that i am trying to understand what technologies fit where, I was looking for something more discrete answer. Something along the lines

* I could use Django to create the server side. The whole server would be created in RESTFul architecture

* Front end ??? Would i create two different projects for Web and Mobile clients ? What framework to use here ? Shall the front end directly communicate with Django RESTFul api or some other layer should be there ?

The F-14 was a huge hangar queen too; requiring an inordinate amount of work between flights. It had a terrible set of engines until the F404 arrived.

F-22 was a mess with it's oxygen system.

F-15s mysteriously broke apart in mid-air, though this was unexpected wingbox fatigue late in their lives.

The Navy had the "Gutless Cutlass" Vought F7.

The USAF had the F104 nicknamed the Widowmaker; IIRC, more Luftwaffe pilots died flying this type than any other aircraft.
the jet in question is a Gulfstream G-V. Its a very fancy passenger, long-range passenger jet
Everyday, I write things down and then I do them and then I cross them off. It's really hard.
> Remote access console screenshots from the failed hardware showed boot failures because the physical drives were no longer recognized.

I'm getting flashbacks. All of the servers in the DC reboot and NONE of them come online. No network or anything. Even remotely rebooting them again we had nothing. Finally getting a screen (which is a pain in itself) we saw they were all stuck on a grub screen. Grub detected an error and decided not to boot automatically. Needless to say we patched grubbed and removed this "feature" promptly!
The F-16A was a useless fighter; nothing but guns and IR missiles, only useful in good weather. It wasn't until it received a series of upgrades that it became a valuable workhorse. And surprisingly, it became more expensive an heavier in the process.
User-managed kernels are currently supported on new distro releases, and will be supported for all distributions that are released moving forward.
Occam's razor isn't a bad rule of thumb, however.
Offtopic, but I don't suppose you could provide any insight into why real estate websites ask for search filters and then completely ignore them?

(eg. if i search for a max limit of $750K, top page of results will all be offer 800k+ sites? - Why let me set a max then ignore it?)
Well in all humility, I know a lot less about this than you.
The days of open source propaganda are long gone, at least for me. But this sounds like a thing that should be put into open source, in a way that not just the own gui can use it but that other email client creators can integrate it as well (i.e. a library). We've seen so many email clients come and go, having a single app do that is not enough to stay in the game.
I've been through 3 acquisitions one very badly done, one well done, and one several years in that im still on the fence about. This is great advice in any case.

Even in the case when say one of your side is brought into the c suite it's important to understand that you need to find acceptance and a reason to exist according to the rules of the buyer however bizzare they may be. In the case of my one bad acquisition our ceo came in as cto, but couldn't navigate the nightmare politics of our buyer. We still ended up lacking cover and lost a ton of great people to burnout and political hijinks. Our products suffered. Our customers suffered. It took us too long to understand the rules of the game and that the real interests of the company were at odds with making our products and customers successful. Or at least that was not the primary concern.

It's tough, figuring out the ground rules. Best bet is to make sure you are working in the best interests of someone who does and can guide you through it.
> I suspect there are those, like yourself, who actually like watching the games. But I also suspect there are a large number of people who watch for social reasons.

I just can't be on the internet anymore without reading about 'social' anymore.

People watch teen mom for 'social' reasons, or 'the bachelor' for social reasons. Top chef, hells kitchen, x-files, I can keep going.

Humans are 'social' creatures by nature. Competition is human by nature. Survival of the fittest, feats of strength, preening, showing off, being knowledgeable about current events, speaking intelligently about the goings-on on the world, communication and idle chat about pop culture, thats how some people relate in their day-to-day 'shallow' interactions with others.

I can't do this whole 'social' thing anymore. Its almost getting to the point where prime numbers are offensive, because they're too unique, its not fair to the other numbers. Am I alone in this? Am I just that ignorant? Sincere question, as I'm a fairly left-leaning person highly motivated to bring the 'little guy' up and make a positive impact on humanity.

As someone who has built many real estate sites, this is done on purpose as a "fuzzy-logic" search as agents feel anyone willing to spend $750k for a home can be easily induced to spend 5-10% more if the right property catches their fancy.

the G-V is certified for ETOPS -- extended twin-engine overwater operations. Second, there's no "gliding" involved. ETOPS flight plans are designed for single engine operation. That floating seat cushion is for when both engines fail.

Carrying liability insurance is a condition of licensure. Large insurance companies are routinely defendants in auto injury lawsuits.
I would suggest that instead of trying to maintain shared state (which IP addresses are blessed) across all of your nodes, you look into using ipsec. Those internal interfaces aren't for security, they're to segment cheap/fast network traffic internal to the dc from expensive/slow/metered traffic that hits the Internet.

Further brief research suggests it's "flight time with one failed engine" that's a constraint, somewhere between 60 and 180 minutes, depending on how the plane is certified. The Gulfstream 5 is a twin-engine aircraft, which makes it more awkward for crossing large bodies of water. For long-distance flights, you're more likely to be on a four-engine plane, which has more lenient safety margins in case of engine failure.

That said, the Pacific has a good chunk of diversion airports available as well.
Very few people run actual custom kernels, but most people want to run the distro-supplied kernel for their distro of choice (including security updates to it) and most decent providers configure their VMs to allow custom kernels so that their users can do this.
Nice! Always good news when there's more investment in renewable energy sources.

I only read the one in the guardian so it might be answered there but isn't higher transmission loss another con for offshore wind farms? How do they deal with that?
Bit tricky to execute. You know any real world examples where it's worked like that?
I'm not sure what they're referencing there, but GWEC keeps better numbers and we're well over 400GW installed worldwide by now

They may have been referring to installed capacity in the UK, not worldwide. 30GW by 2019 sounds about right.

Wind supplied 17% of the UK's entire electricity demand in December 2015
I wish Atom would prevent me from opening such files, as an option. I sometimes accidentally open large minified files and have to wait.
Hum, that's probably true, however stupid HR departments correlate very well with places that will soon turn into a hell to work in. (Unless they are powerless to decide who gets into - but then the CV wouldn't be a problem.)

If one can choose, I guess that is one of the most important signals.
The original point may or may not be true.

But I don't see how trying to compare the F35 to a project from 70 years ago is relevant.
This is nice and long due regardless of DigitalOcean's actual merits. AWS, Google (100k), IBM (120k) and Microsoft (500k) all offer credits to YC companies. More options will compel cloud providers to provide better service offerings to startups.

I wonder to what extent YC companies default to AWS though. Based on what I've heard from acquaintances at Microsoft, I'm not sure they're getting the traction they'd like.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Should I specifically target companies that use technologies that I know?

By the way, wouldn't I disturb if a send my applications to personal mails (to persons that I don't know)?
I find it unlikely that consumers are as safety conscious as you imagine them to be. Think about how many people currently text or do other things to distract themselves while driving. They willingly choose less safety in order to be able to do something else while in transit. Pushing this behavior to its natural conclusion is what will allow self driving cars to be accepted even if they are 10% less safe than normal drivers.
I have multiple experiences with high end DCs with dual UPS and diesel genset experiencing power fail.

Once it involved fire alarms, which trigger safety shutdowns within a suite. The other involved a failed static switch panel - ie, the things that aren't mean to be able to fail.
Lots of people still believe that, even if it's a less popular opinion in a lot of tech hubs.

Aircraft that "can be built quickly and for minimal initial cost" don't exist. Modern fighter aircraft are complex, expensive machines. The engines alone are a significant portion of the cost. And if you think the F-35 has supercomputers, you're sorely mistaken. Even the F-22 has old, decade old CPUs.

The world has moved on since WW2, and the idea of cheap hordes of aircraft, or spinning up the Arsenal of Democracy to build them in wartime just won't fly.

Ask the Syrians how well their simple Mig-21s and Mig-23s did in the Bekka Valley in 1982 when they ran up against the Israeli's flying F-15s and F-16s. Turkey shoot doesn't even begin to describe it. If you bring a biplane to a modern dogfight, you'll end up a splat mark on the ground.
Perhaps, but at the same time, you shouldn't be using IP addresses as a security mechanism. Assume the connection between your hosts is compromised, and code accordingly, with encrypted/authenticated connections between hosts.
I would love to see something like this happening in Ireland. Closing times are so early that always causes caos at closing times. Sometimes you have the feeling to rush to get drunk before the night is over specially if you have gone out drinking to late, and don't get me started on the queues on trying to get a taxi ride back home, most of the time waiting on the rain.

Anecdote not evidence, but still interesting - I know someone who was no-fault in an accident, and her premiums still increased because the insurance company claimed that statistically anyone who has an accident is more likely to have another, even if it's not their fault.
I don't think you can paint with such broad strokes. While it is important to have a sense of the founder's vision for the business (run for life, IPO, sell eventually, etc.), I can't say I blame them for cashing out if the situation makes business sense and aligns with their goals. It is THEIR business after all.

But I think that just means there is more responsibility on the part of the founder to be transparent and forthright with his employees, particularly those who have equity. It is one thing to sell in a backroom. It is another to sell with the full knowledge and support of the company with the goal of getting as fair an outcome for all parties (including the employees that helped get them there). Believe it or not, there have been plenty of instances where the latter has happened. It isn't always like the founder makes bank and no employees get anything.

Unfortunately, all of these require that you be part of some accelerator or receive VC funding before you can take advantage of the discounts. Founders trying to bootstrap a company without external funding are SOL.

It strikes me that these cloud hosting companies are really interested in businesses that value growth above profits and are willing to ignore startups who try to manage costs to get to profitability more quickly.
Not that I want to wade into the "don't use D.O." part of this argument, but, in practice, nobody does this. Virtually every deployment environment I've ever seen with more than 4 hosts in it would be fatally compromised by an attacker who could reach any IP address in that environment.

This sentence made no sense until I realized the German air force is still called the Luftwaffe.
Of course they don't, but it gives a good idea about their approach to security.
> people want to run the distro-supplied kernel

I read "custom kernel" as in "replace distro-supplied kernel and compile your own with some custom flags and patches".
I experienced an unusual variation of the acquisition. The company wasn't acquired by another company, but sold out a majority interest to a private equity firm. I did as you suggest here, started looming immediately, jumped ship after the next major release. Turned out it was mistake, the company actually did quiet well, and didn't have the mass layoff I feared. I liked the job and regretted leaving out of fear.
This is especially big for RHEL, OEL, and friends. Yeah, CentOS is cool for your startup but a big portion of the valley wants support contracts so they can stop doing OS grunt work, and if your provider doesn't roll RHEL you get to deploy your own, and AFAIK that is not possible on DO (and requires quite a bit of work on Linode, its closest competitor in the space; DO is not AMZN). Deploying RHEL in a supported way requires using their kernels.

It's your virtual machine. You should be able to pick a kernel. This isn't for running Andrew Morton patches, as some of the comments imply.
Same. I've also had one at-fault accident and my premium went up in the sense that my "accident free discount" was removed for about 24 months. But I eventually got that back too.
>And if you think the F-35 has supercomputers, you're sorely mistaken.

People don't realize this. Your smartphone is vastly more powerful than pretty much any single CPU found in the avionics of a fighter. If you really dig around old press releases you can figure out some of what these aircraft use, but I'd rather not specify. But, think about when the F-35 systems were largely designed: the period from 2000 to 2005.
Hopefully you'll see this. You may have the best luck by actually trying to get a master's degree, qualifying for it with your 12 years of experience. Normally that would be considered enough. They will probably make you do a "qualifying year" of 4th year courses, but those are the most interesting anyway. This cuts the time from no-degree to degree to 2 years from 4. Especially because master's programmes often have a light course load, you can also reasonably do it part time (allowing you to work at the same time). Finally, if you manage to do very well in your "qualifying" courses, you can often find more age-appropriate financial assistance in grad school than undergrad. Hope that helps!
Ah, I meant upgrading source as in making sure you have a high quality mp3/flac/etc to begin with. I was assuming that most people are not listening directly from CD and a significant amount of audio files out there are still of crappy quality.
> their customer success team offers excellent support

Just one piece of anecdotal evidence, but I did not find this to be case. I received terrible support, responses, and lack of responses from Digital Ocean to the point that I no longer use their services for anything serious.

Here's one of the issues I experienced before I pulled the plug:

I wanted to perform the simple task of creating an image from a backup and spinning it up into a server so I could have a duplicate dev server. Seemed very straightforward. Clicked a few buttons in their "dead simple" control panel.

Their timer said "57 seconds remaining" but it never finished. I tried to contact support. 3.5 hours later I received a message saying that it could take hours to complete due to them:

"zeroing out the storage space to be used in order to ensure previous data in those blocks are erased."

I was further told that the advertised timer works for their images they have already setup, but everything else they couldn't give any ETA on. So, the timer was just eye candy not really attached to anything:

"Unfortunately, this part of the process can take a while, especially for larger droplets or droplets based on backups or snapshots. Smaller droplets and those that are based on images we provide are generally faster and should finish creation within the advertised 55 seconds, as long as the system is not under high load.

It's hard to give an accurate ETA for droplets of this size since there are many variables that go into the provisioning process, but note that the process could go up to three or so hours if there's high load at the time. I apologize for any inconvenience with this."

I was attempting to recreate an image from a backup they did. It was of the smallest droplets they have available and it wasn't near capacity.

The server never did actually get setup. Instead, just falling off of my "dead simple" dashboard every time, never hitting active. I mentioned this in the support ticket I had open, since the problem was obviously not resolved. Here was the response:

"Glad to be of assistance.

We appreciate you being a Digital Ocean customer and please let us know if we can be of further assistance!"

This was the third person to respond on my ticket; a different person for every response.

I left them and never looked back. You can find similar experiences on this website or by some brief Googling.

Ultimately, DO is probably still fine to get things going or play around, but I wouldn't trust it for anything serious or anything where you would expect a timely or decent response to help you ensure you can get work done that day. I certainly wouldn't trust DO with anything even close to $250k worth of operations.
Despite some criticism of Europass CVs in the comments, they're better than 80% of what I ever see.

Mainly because it's really easy to piece together history, and gaps in history, or overlaps. The 80% I mention is because of these gaps and overlaps.

While my own CV isn't exactly Europass formatted, I make sure I eliminate any questions a CV reader would have in their first 2 minutes (having some kind of timeline makes this easy, as Europass do).

Stadiums purpose built for baseball are way better than dual football/baseball stadiums. They are also a lot better for other events as you are significantly closer.

The problem with football stadiums is that you really don't get a good view of the field since they are all about packing in the maximum number of people at a single event. Consequently, nobody really wants to host anything there.
