You don't know what you're doing and don't have enough capitalization to try any of this.

You're also trying a oft-repeated dream in starting a web hosting company. It's the same story since the 90's, and that ship has already sailed when costs plummeted and there went your margins.

Worse, this time around you're caught in a position where everyone is making expensive investments into SSD infrastructure by factors of millions.

Your rack of few SSD raid arrays is not in anyway, shape, or form on the same level of competing with anyone else offering the same product at your intended price range.

Sell all your hardware and recoup your money and try something else.

Or if you wish to persist...

1. Sell all your hardware to recoup costs.

2. Sign a leasing contract with an established hosting company.

3. Buy a control panel software for $500.

4. Hire a designer for $1500 to create logo, webpage, email templates, ads, and marketing material.

5. Spend everything else on targeted Facebook ads.

Good luck.
You should enable encryption at the controller level, many modern SSD support it and it shouldn't influence the performance.

> EvilTrout obviously wants to see Ember succeed, I would to if I spent so much time writing a big Ember app and see it loosing out in the Javascript framework wars.

If I chose my languages or frameworks based on what was the most popular, I'd be using Java or PHP, not Ruby and Javascript.

Additionally, Object.Observe benefits Ember just as much as it does Angular.
An excellent book, one that I can't recommend highly enough.

A friend at Caltech took this a step further and came up with his own crude SoC that took input from basic switches, did calculations based on code taken from a small off the shelf EEPROM, and displayed the output to segment LEDs. Took him like three years but he was eventually able to make a chip with a 20 micron process using a microscope and a UV DMD development board [1]. He did have access to wire bonders, IC debugging equipment, professors, etc though.

I hope this isn't too harsh, but your website is probably the most untrustworthy, low quality website I have seen in a long, long, LONG, time.

You couldn't even give me PAY me $1000/month to use your hosting, that's how sketchy it looks. No joke.
Well, I dont. As I said above "I dont support MPAA, RIAA, etc. involved companies at all"
However I think yer man above who does goto the cinema is not being unreasonable. Though I do agree he would be better of doing as I do as u suggested and give it all a miss.

>AMD's inability to market their own innovations as well

Look, we can quibble about the details all day long, but AMD never had a chance, even if you concede AMD's momentary advantage over Intel in having both HT and better CPU's for a short time. Intel is a behemoth with all of the market share, and OEM computer manufacturing can't flip overnight. Intel allowed AMD to live so they could tell the FTC, EU trade commission that the CPU business was a competitive market. That tactic served them well.

> as Intel and the fact that most of the other silicon on Intel's processors was implemented better

Come on. You make it sound as though Intel is infallible at hardware design. Besides failing to drive innovation much of the time, they have had some huge failures, Itanic? anything Intel ever produced to do with video? the 8051? (the 8051 is a financially successful product, but IMO a terrible microcontroller). They're great at clinging on to their legacy designs, and adopting others' good ideas after they're proven.

>(for real world use cases, not benchmarks).

We both know that benchmarks are just a well organized way to tell a lie, same as specifications.

> I've never found the cost for living terribly high. All I need is a private room in a shared dwelling.

That's fair enough, and describes me when I moved to SF straight out of college. It's probably also fine (even necessary) if you're a student or bootstrapping your own startup. But I've only been here two years, and it didn't take long for me to get sick of having a home situation that's in many ways worse than when I lived in my college's dormitory and significantly worse than my last two years of college living in a one bedroom apartment. With no lack of great and lucrative career opportunities in the area, I wish I didn't have to either live like a starving college kid in a house packed full of starving college kids or spend 20 hours a week searching for an affordable studio apartment in a tolerable location. Although I've actually been hearing good things about Oakland...
My biggest question is: who wants this? Do you have a list of potential customers already? Can you sell your half-rack of capacity if you get funding?

The website you linked to is, frankly, not slick enough or trendy enough to attract the HN crowd to rent your servers. It doesn't clearly define why I should pick you over DigitalOcean, Linode or even Amazon. I can understand that you're probably focused on 'shipping' by building out the platform, but I think you should work on validating the idea as well. I would use whatever funding you have to commission a proper landing page that explains a few key points and captures email addresses. Even better, go out and talk to people and explain why your project is new, exciting and better. See if they also think it's new, exciting and better. If not, iterate and repeat.

Basically, rather than stressing about whether to buy MLC or SLC, collect customers who are concerned about performance first. Then find out what they're looking for: is it really SSDs, or is it a better core/memory ratio, or it reliable networking (that last one is highly likely, I've never seen anyone who's happy with their VPS networking). The best part about this plan it, besides paying for the website (which shouldn't be more than 500 bucks), you don't need to sink any more money in right now. Just time.
I'd love to hear more information on what they mean by "penetrated Blackberry's security". Given BlackBerry's current troubles, and their certifications for Government use, this could cause them quite a bit of brand damage.

Can you explain what functionality Angular is missing that makes it a less complete framework than Ember? This premise keeps getting repeated here in the form of Angular being "simpler" -- if it's more simple, but offers the same functionality, I'd take that any day.
Own the physical medium.

Study systems, including how they segregate and specialize. Realize this generalizes across all sorts of different environments, from biology to information to technology.

Compartmentalize.

P.S.

I mean this from the individual's perspective, per the original question.

After posting, I realize these terms can also and do also apply to the "other side". Pick up any espionage thriller novel, and you're likely to quickly encounter them.

So... They are universal. They work for both sides.

As an individual interested in having an accountable government, I'd argue for their limitation for "that side". Transparency, audit trails, accountability.

That however does not obviate the need to cope with the status quo.

> However, the discussion forums are horrible. They're using Discourse, which was written in Ember, and it's nearly impossible to find answers to anything previously posted. Because it's in Ember it's all JavaScript, so nothing is indexed on Google, and the built-in search is awful.

Not true. All Discourse content has been indexed by Google since day one. Even though it's a Javascript app it's search engine friendly.

Secondly, Stack Overflow is the official place for Ember questions. The forums are for general discussion about features and other Ember related topics. Go to SO if you have a question and tag it as ember!

These two posts are not incompatible. That 13.5% of kids needs to live somewhere. I'd bet that a heatmap would show "kid locuses" in some neighborhoods and "kid voids" in others.
That is an ad hominem argument.
Regarding NIH, some places have found an interesting way to have their cake and eat it too. First, they create something interesting. Then they release it to the world. That way, their formerly-proprietary thing becomes the standard, or at least, shows up in the marketplace.

Protocol Buffers was this back in ... 2007? Too bad Thrift happened first, right?

This is leading up to the kernel of another post: how to undercut the competition: hire the people who created their Secret Sauce, then have them build it again, but this time, release it to the world. Now the competition doesn't have their exclusive magic carpet to ride around on any more.
But that argument then puts the whole program at a ridiculous cost to threat ratio.

Sorry but this is just nonsense.

Major terrorist acts e.g. 9/11 have a devastating impact on the economy. It results in a country-wide drop in consumer spending, consumer confidence, business spending, business confidence, hiring etc. As well as locally in areas like tourism. It alone accounted for a 1.1% drop in the third quarter GDP in 2011.

As an example in NYC alone 430,000 jobs and 2.8 billion in wages were lost in the 3 months after 9/11. Which in turn results in a big drop in the tax collected.

Then finally there is the after effects. No 9/11 and there would have been no costly invasion into Iraq/Afghanistan which has cost trillions of dollars and an obscene number of lives. Major terrorist acts always demand a response by the public.

So out of all the things the government does protecting its citizens seems like something that will always be "worth the money".
PHP framework 6 times faster than Slim, therefore 3 times faster than Phalcon?
It's not as periodic as that.

Ajax by definition is asynchronous. When you submit a post, the Ajax request is fired right away. But we don't wait for a response before showing the post in the stream (success case). We show it right away.

Then WHEN we receive a reply, we check the error status and if it was success, do nothing. If it failed, we revert the UI to the previous state. This is really easy with a client side MVC framework.

The downside is the failure case can be disorienting, as something will appear and then disappear. But the vast majority of requests, say, 99% never fail so the user so we optimize for that case.
I think that's an honest and fair comment. My websites are important to me - I need to know I can trust a host to look after them.

I'd spend the money on a design and a marketer - you need to get the message right.
Hacking the Philips Hue LED Lighting System
That may have been true a year ago, but a 2br apartment for 1k a person would currently put you no closer to the city than the outer richmond.
It's attainable if you bet on the right startup and make it. Or if you bought it years ago. California doesn't re-asses property taxes unless you sell your property, which means that many people are paying tiny amounts of property tax on incredibly expensive homes. They just increase it by a small (less than inflation) amount per year, so effectively you pay less and less tax each year.

Key insight: old people vote.
I wonder if it's related to back doors RIM was forced to include, or security vulnerabilities that RIM shared with these agencies before fixing them.

I'm very interested to see where the argument for forcing manufacturers to include back doors goes once events like this are part of the public consciousness.
"The September meeting of finance ministers was also the subject of a new technique to provide a live report on any telephone call made by delegates and to display all of the activity on a graphic which was projected on to the 15-sq-metre video wall of GCHQ's operations centre as well as on to the screens of 45 specialist analysts who were monitoring the delegates.

"For the first time, analysts had a live picture of who was talking to who that updated constantly and automatically," according to an internal review."

Oh please, "template-engines-thingies" don't even come close to the concept of directives
You CAN make Angular work like Ember, but you have to add a lot of code to do what Ember encourages you to do off the bat.

What you are suggesting is good practice but something that I suspect very few Angular developers do as it's not encouraged by the framework itself.

If you follow the guides on the official Angular site, they're done none of the things you suggest.
The point being that not thinking about the future is in fact a lack of priorities. The party is not going to last forever and not planning for that in the slightest is very short-sighted.

You can have an active social life without completely disregarding the future.
Really? That's good to hear. I know support for MacBooks used to be quite poor in Ubuntu. I'm not sure when they got it up to snuff, but I know as recently as a couple of years ago (the last time I tried it), waking up from sleep was still a crapshoot on a MacBook Pro. Maybe it would wake up, maybe your trackpad would even still work after it woke up — but you were never sure.
Would you know WHICH 300 phones to check without the program?

No, I wouldn't say that's something similar to directives.
I don't think it's "unfair" at all to the government. They're the ones who insist on secret courts and fight any attempt to make information public.

Tech companies who are actively fighting it deserve a fair amount of sympathy - Twitter, Google, sonic.net, Yahoo for the 2007/2008 case they lost, presumably others. As Marcy pointed out the CCIA (including Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, and others) opposed telco immunity back in 2008: http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/06/09/once-upon-a-time-the-pr...

The telcos and other tech companies who are going along without fighting it tooth and nail do not (in my books) deserve any sympathy.

What I REALLY want is a relatively clean implementation of MV* that I can re-use all parts client and server.. NodeJS is the natural platform, but I haven't really seen much that makes reusing rendering, models and business logic client and server to a natural point. I know that there are people working on this, but I think that getting closer to a solution that can easily converge on such re-use for really dynamic apps, maybe mobile being more server-side, and desktop/tablet being more client will do very well in the end.
I love the bay area, nothing else to say.

> ember-data isn't done yet

You don't need to use ember-data: http://eviltrout.com/2013/03/23/ember-without-data.html
The hardware content in this book is not sufficiently detailed for computer engineering. It's really for CS students who want to understand roughly how computers are made. (This is evident by counting pages in the book: the first 5 chapters are the hardware chapters and they span only 100 pages. The remaining 200 pages cover the software stack from assembly up.)

For example, one of the assignments is to design a 16-bit adder in their toy HDL, but they never cover carry lookahead adders. The only thing that matters is that your circuit passes the tests, so ripple carry is considered okay.

Similar efficiency/performance issues are glossed over throughout. Propagation delay is never covered, and the sequential circuits use idealized clocks (instant transition between low and high). They also don't describe how to build up flip flops from latches: the D-Flip Flop is given as a primitive and you build up other elements from there.

K-maps are not covered either. Caches are ignored as well.

Still, the book is amazing for its intended purpose. If you don't already know this stuff, this is an easy way to get a somewhat detailed (though abstract) view of how computers work without getting mired in all the concerns that accompany the engineering of actual computers.
How about the famed "pretentious interviewer with a superiority complex" stereotype? (Disclaimer: Non-googler, and I have never met any such interviewers at Google. A couple of them came close, though...)
Indeed! Which is why I said "software full disk encryption" in my OP. :)
I have to ask; why are you building a hosting company? Did you identify some unfulfilled need in the market? Have you identified and cultivated your early customers?

If you don't have answers to these questions I strongly recommend not spending anything until you do. You're risking burning through all your capital before you have an idea of what you're marketing or who you're marketing to.

Also, you're drastically underestimating the costs and complexities of starting a hosting company. You could easily burn through thousands of dollars before you make anything.
Ah, that makes much more sense! Thanks for the informed insights.

I am vacillating.

Fundamentally, I have a great deal of sympathy for the security services, understand the difficulty of the job that they have been tasked with, and can see no other reasonable way of achieving the goals that they have been set. However, my opinion flips and flops back and forth as I read each new revelation, get caught up in the moral outrage of the crowd, write something incendiary and provocative, then sit back, think a bit, and regret (maybe) being so rash.

But then again ... I understand all too well the tremendously vulnerable situation that the general population is in with respect to the state, and comprehend the risk of abuse, not so much from individual analysts or the current administration as much as from the opportunistic acts of a future administration.

But then again ... It is foolish to expect answers to come easily when the questions themselves are so difficult, so it is natural to strike out in the wrong direction a few times before finding a good path.

As a former member of the diplomatic community living in the US, I am (now as then) almost certain that the NSA were recording all of my telephone calls and internet browsing activity, as well as bugging the apartment in which we lived. It did not then and does not now stop me from browsing for kinky porn, having massive stand-up arguments with my wife, and emailing the Samaritans about wanting to commit suicide. (TMI, I know, sorry - but they can only hold something over your head if you want to keep it a secret).

I chose not to care then, and I have to continue choosing not to care. (Not a decision one can undo easily, anyway). Living in a glass goldfish bowl or not, life goes on; and perhaps the best (or least worst) thing that can come out of all of this is that we become a little bit more honest about human imperfection and fallibility - I do not think that I am alone in being an imperfect, flawed human being.

Perhaps if we stopped pretending to be perfect (or at least not-as-deranged-as-we-really-are) we would be somewhat less vulnerable to those who would seek to exploit the information imbalance.

So, I guess I do not care about them invading my privacy, because that boat sailed a long time ago. I do care in principle about them invading everybody's privacy, because of hypothetical future abuses. I think that at least some of the potential for abuse can be blunted by being more open and honest with ourselves, and by coming to terms with our own failings rather than trying to hide them.
I'm definitely not qualified to provide an opinion. My short summary:

Backbone was tiring for me and my partner with all the files and code to set up each view. I also never liked putting templates in script tags -- it just felt dirty. We see Ember and Angular as similar (how do you pick which language you like?), and we only picked one for atheistic reasons (data-binding in HTML) in our current project. Since I haven't written the same app in each framework, it would be unfair to comment further.
