Thank you for the reply. Do you mind if I ask some more questions? Suppose that I am financially independent and do not care about being paid, then would that open up more paths for me?
You can clearly see their capacity with the OVH Weather Map and it really doesn't show that being the case for at least North America (I know it's not peak time but I've been keeping tabs on it at peak almost every day for the last few months):

Property taxes in Austin are roughly 3% of the current value.

If your monthly rent is 0.4% of current value, then over 12 months you'd pay a total of 4.8% of current value.

So more than half (3 / 4.8) ie most of your rent paid would be going to pay the property taxes alone.

It would be useful to be able to compare the rental market with sales market to get a good idea if the houses are good to buy or not. But I have no idea how to monetize such a thing.
I don't think so - I think it's more that Apple are strongly pushing developers to support iOS 7 only for newer apps. Apple are now suggesting developers should be using auto layout by default (which in iOS 7 saves considerable time), but until now the toolset for working with auto layout was woefully inadequate (...some might say it still is).

It's a lot easier to sell supporting iOS 7 only if all the users who haven't - or can't - upgrade can since have access to older versions of your apps.

Because, you know, resilience - if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you'd be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn't a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.

No offense to anyone but I have a serious question: why are we hearing about this from a Mac blog rather than from Apple directly? This is quite an important change and to learn of it by scanning HN et al seems a tad ridiculous.
1998. It had 4Gb of RAM in each node which wasn't that scary. Most of it was UPS and disk.

I had a Sun 1000E [1] for 3 years as a workstation from 1996. 8x 50MHz CPU, 2Gb of RAM, 16Gb disk array. It was made in'93 and was approx 12U for the unit and array. Things weren't that big in the 90's. 80's yes...

It sounds like they need a standard cell phone style two year service contract with a breakage fee.
So anytime there is unexplained bad service to someone with a minority sounding name it is safe to assume that its racism at play?

There is nowhere near enough information to deduce the real cause of the account cancellation and attributing it to racism while providing no justification is below the standard of quality that we expect on HN.`
This is Apple themselves recognizing that hardware that is too old to run iOS7 is still useful.
Yes! I think so many of the problems in the world are because people have become too specialized. Nobody really understands how to do basic maintenance on their car anymore, what's happening with their data on the Internet, why their politicians make the decisions they do, or what their doctors are prescribing them and why. Capitalism pushes us so much in the direction of specialization (with good reasons), but I think we need to step back often and make sure we still have some good general understanding of the world.

>> The only time I've ended up taking the antibiotics on offer was when I came in once spitting blood and with massive white lumps at the back of my throat (from whence the blood came, as they were ripped open when I coughed).

As a side note, it sounds like you were probably at pretty high risk for a secondary infection through the wounds, as well - possibly another reason they prescribed antibiotics.

I agree, and would add that the mission of the CIA is to assess foreign threats to the U.S.

but what pisses me off is that they only decided to completely ignore it.
It is the overpriced Intel CPU. You aren't going to get much more done with that $80 server than this $30 server they sold to European customers (but not US/CA customers directly).

http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi_16g.xml

4 real cores (HT is pointless in linux anyway) and runs "turbo" at 3.1ghz on all cores. 100mbps unlimited pipe. Same as the $80 server. Same 2TB software raid. Only the extra 16GB on the $80 is better, and $240 a year is a lot to pay for that extra 16GB

If you needed a dedicated server for years, I'd much rather make the $30/mo one work itself to death than pay $500+ more a year for the $80. Especially if you needed several of them.

What's experience has Hacker News had with OVH?

Personally I got a £4 a month ($6.30) dedicated sever from them not long ago when they came out (I think they sold out within a couple of days). I had to buy 3 months together as a minimum but it was still very cheap for a dedicated server (2GB RAM and 500GB harddrive). However my initial experience with OVH wasn't amazing. The website promised 24 hour delivery when I ordered it. However after 4 days no word from them so I sent a support ticket. I got a quick response saying that "As stated on our forums and website, the server will be delivered between 1 to 10 days". Kind of strange as the website had clearly said 24 hours when I placed the order (although it had since changed to 10 days) I'd covered this in my ticket but this wasn't mentioned. Anyhow I did get my server after 20 days (no word as to the hold up but at least they started the 3 months from when I actually got access to the server rather than when I'd ordered it). This is the only experience I've had with them and it wasn't terrible but not very promising. I've always had good experience with VPS on Digital Ocean so I think I'm likely to go with them instead when these 3 months run out. Alternatively I might keep the dedicated server just to backup files on to. The terms and conditions did not seem to forbid this. Has anyone else had experience doing this? Are they likely to destroy my server if I use it for my personal backups? Has anyone else used OVH? What experience did you have?
If there was a bug in the old version that is not compatible with the latest, there was no way to fix it anyway. This change doesn't solve that issue, but it solves 99% of the cases I deal with, which is old users complaining they can't get the app they bought after a release drops an old iOS version.

The primary reason why people won't stop looking at housing as an investment vehicle is that it is the only way you can go to a bank and say "Loan me $500,000 for an investment".

If you said that you wanted $500,000 to play the stock market they'd laugh you out of the door. So for the average person in the street it's the only way to get significant leverage.

Edit: I agree with your premise btw, I despise the culture that's been created here in the UK with regards to home-ownership.

People here still don't believe that house prices can drop significantly, and the amount of TV programmes about buying a house, renovating a house, or selling a house for more than you paid for it is ludicrous.

What frustrates me even more is during the run up to the crash I was standing my ground that they were overpriced, and there must be a correction soon. So I continued to rent. And now that I'd like to buy I need close to £100,000 deposit to buy a place similar to the one I rent (20% deposit required for places over £400,000).

The fundamentals just don't stack up.

UK average wage: £26,500
UK average house price: £242,415

So that requires a mortgage 9.14 times the individual's average wage, or 4.57 times a couple's average wage.

It seems to me we have a way to fall yet.

However the UK is short of houses. So who knows!

Reducing prices on used servers seems to be the best solution. That is what iweb does (they have a 'clearance' section with cheap, slightly older servers) and it allows them to clear out their old stock.

Generally you don't need the newest hardware unless you have huge amounts of traffic.
I think this obfuscation comes from a fear of failure, which is ironic given that it's the ready acceptance of failure and the can-do attitude which is supposed to set American entrepreneurs apart from Europeans and others.

It seems that investors are now scared of failing, losing money and the impact on reputation, so they want to preserve their mythical image as Titans of Silicon Valley (much like investment bankers believed they were Masters of the Universe) for as long as possible. Thus they come up with dubious acquisitions, acquihires and mask strategic failure as pivoting.

Everyone seems to be reacting to the "viral marketing" framing of it, when basically this is just a graph theory problem.

Reading this, it appears that finding seed sets is an old problem. Normally people focus on finding minimum-size seed sets, but here they're just focusing on small ones. However, they don't appear to have actually proven any upper bounds on the sizes of the seed sets found this way; they've just observed that empirically it's small. Which is still useful.
My advice, stop using the word faith, and carve the word up into something that means more precisely what you are trying to say.

I'm not sure that choosing to believe arbitrary things due to the consequences of believing those things can be rational. An active choice to believe something without evidence due to the consequences of belief has no effect on the odds that the proposition is true. It's the difference between "I have belief in Thor" and "I believe that belief in Thor is good." Very, very different things, and they are not remotely interchangeable.

I got the first dedicated server offering in their Canada DC. Since then, OVH offered better servers at lower prices. I ask OVH support if they can lower my monthly payment to match a similarly spec'd server. Keep in mind, they no longer offered the one I was using afaik. They said "No, cancel the server and order a new one". So that is exactly what I did, I was disappointed because it was more work. If they would just offer a price match , they could have lower turn over.
agree.. the video recording is very naive. This was recorded with galaxy S4. I am inexperienced in video recording. I still figuring out either this is camera issue or lighting issue.

And there also a orientation (of tablet) issue that you have pointed out.
As I understand it, the problem is more fundamental than that.

Antibiotics were originally discovered accidentally, and a lot of subsequent antibiotics were discovered/created by investigating and extending the mechanisms of the original discoveries.

We're now running out of those implications to chase down. To get the "next breakthrough" in antibiotics will require another surprise discovery, or some other fundamental breakthrough in basic biological understanding.

Sure you can. Netflix will sometimes have to do this. The old software just isn't allowed to talk to the server anymore.

There is a real question about interpretation of historical documents in the light of today. Do you interpret them based on their effects at the time they were written, or their literal meaning by modern definitions?

I don't like the question at all, because it presumes a sacredness that should not be applied to mere documents written by people. But there are different problems with making a constitution a more mutable document subject to political fashions.

Could there be a trailing update mechanism, whereby e.g. amendments are proposed, voted upon, then voted upon again 10 years later, and so on, and only applied if 3 or 5 votes succeed?

That would be more legitimate than supreme court rulings, and remove the sacredness that warps people's thinking.

HT is not worthless on Linux. It's not a true core but it does increase performance quite a bit, especially on a busy server.
Had a similar experience with a similarly priced server; it's simple though: too many of us bought one at the same time and they ran out of stock and people to install it. Fair enough, they're all personal servers anyway.

Why would they prevent you from using your server for backups? (Assuming the files are legal ofc)

So you're supposed to put at least 20% down on a house that costs no more than 3x your annual salary, and only buy when interest rates are high, home prices are low, and rents are high.

I understand where you are coming from but personally I believe that asking a programmer to produce a small amount of code is certainly relevant.

Don't get me wrong, it would be possible to pick nearly worthless questions which prove nothing about a candidate but a well designed problem requiring a few dozen lines of code and no 'trick' or specific knowledge can tell you more about an applicant than many hours of trying to code on a white-board or doing silly logic puzzles.

Well that's just provably false:) Before flight people knew why flight would be useful. And before broadband people already knew that it would be important.

A good way to get publicity.

But it's obvious that the idea of using a residential apartment (won't even get into zoning etc.) and a living quarters that cramped isn't a long term solution to a business.

Nice gimmick but I would question if this were replicated 100 times how many setups like these would yield positive results as opposed to the obvious problems with living like this and working in close quarters.

Add: With respect to what I said about "long term" yes it's obvious that it's short term but it seems as if the hype makes it out to be a mid term solution

I suppose this also depends on what you consider 'default'. Who says the default should be to stay in one place for decades? Leaving and staying each have advantages and disadvantages, but as far as I can tell neither has proven to be generally the 'best' option.

In fact, my experience is that those who do move around generally seem to lead a happier and fulfilling life, but that's just my experience perhaps.

My point is that staying behind for 'stability' could be equally selfish. Uprooting your life in itself is not selfish, however the way you do this could make is to.
I don't see the usual answer posted yet, so here it is: you should talk to an accountant. It's their job to know this, as well as the millions of other little things you should know about when conducting business, and the rules vary a lot base don where you live and operate. Many good ones will meet with you for free to assess your needs.

That said, you should probably incorporate. Incorporation requires very little time and almost no money, and it provides varying measures of liability protection, anonymity, professionalism, legal status, and tax advantages.
One of the first things I programmed when I was a kid was a parser (and calculator) for arithmetic expressions. It was hand coded, in Quick Basic (the interpreter version that came for free with MS DOS), and quite bad code, as I had never before read anything about how to do it. And I had a lot of fun!

Last week (about 22 years later) I programmed a new generator for scannerless context free parsing which takes layout into account, using my own special variant of Earley parsing. And I had a lot of fun!
Why not just answer the question? Why all the secrecy surrounding cost when one could easily find out how much something costs? If somebody asks, it's because they are curious of the value. 10-100k is a huge range that most islands would fit into.
What do you mean? The whole purpose of this new feature is that Apple is giving users older versions when they need them...
The data is out there, but really it's common sense. On the margin, a buyer purchases a house with a monthly payment he/she can afford. The monthly payment is determined based on the purchase price of the house and the interest rate. The higher the rate, the higher the payment. If rates raise, the margin buyer will no longer be able to purchase the same priced house. Prices must fall to clear the market. Yes, increased wages could help make up for the gap. Wages do not have to rise with interest rates (stagflation).
That's a large one-bedroom apartment.
Apple will just add new features without press releases all the time.
Nah, this is because of the new 64 processors.

There's still no mechanism that allows for 64 bit iOS7/32 bit iOS6 fat binaries,
it's either 64 bits iOS7/32 bits iOS7, or iOS 6 only. Probably the first time
that apps compiled for the latest and greatest can't run on old phones at all.
Which would be handling thins server side.
The next step is allow us to do maintenance upgrades to legacy versions. In many situations it is easier to maintain a legacy app, with a separate iOS7 code base. Unfortunately there is no way to do this without creating duplicate apps in the store. The alternative is a single code base that is very difficult to reason about the behavior due to tons of feature/version checking.
