could a flock of starlings be capable of faster-than-light information transfer?

inquiring minds want to know!

"Statistical Mechanics for Natural Flocks of Birds"

https://www.princeton.edu/~wbialek/our_papers/bialek+al_12.pdf

Flocking is a typical example of emergent collective behavior, where interactions between individuals produce collective patterns on the large scale. Here we show how a quantitative microscopic theory for directional ordering in a flock can be derived directly from field data. We construct the minimally structured (maximum entropy) model consistent with experimental correlations in large flocks of starlings. The maximum entropy model shows that local, pairwise interactions between birds are sufficient to correctly predict the propagation of order throughout entire flocks of starlings, with no free parameters. We also find that the number of interacting neighbors is independent of flock density, confirming that interactions are ruled by topological rather than metric distance. Finally, by comparing flocks of different sizes,the model correctly accounts for the observed scale invariance of long-range correlations among the fluctuations in flight direction.

I think most people will know that on normal usage of their server this will never be an issue. We have tried to make a simple and easy to understandable TOS instead of a lot of legal limbo.

The funny thing is that i have "borrowed it" (with permission) from a highly appraised LET provider... If you look for a stick you'll always find one...

I am no customer of that said provider :-P

and I did not look for a stick but was quite tempted to order from you, that's why I read your TOS.

I don't really see the fuss.
Hasn't it always been the case that we could judge the 'dedicated-ness' of a core from the LET price tag?

no fuss my man :-) as written above I am not about the dedicatedness here at all

sanvit said: Doesn't most providers have an AUP on CPU, server load, disk IO, etc.?

regulations of X% usage in Y time might have been around with cheap crazy oversold OVZ hosts back in the days were the "provider" could not properly control or balance it (or just did not care). if a provider want to place themselve in that group, be my guest.

VirMach had the "no more than 15mins of 50%+ CPU usage" AUP.

yes. VirMach is allowed to do everything because of their crazy cheap oversold BF stuff ;-) ;-)
no, I am not customer with them, I read enough complaints of idle windows servers getting suspended because of "abusive" cpu usage...

Why don't you try it, if you're not happy I will refund you proportionally at any time during the year (as long as you don't do things that are in our STRICTLY PROHIBITED USES).

Does anyone have a benchmark?

zrjjjj said: Well, Is a benchmark I mentioned above available now? I rarely apply a refund, so I want to make a decision after the benchmark

Which benchmark do you want to see on which plan?

Do you restrict the SSD performance? the seek rate 6.87ms is uncommon for SSD

No restrictions on SSD, seems like a peak (lot's of people doing benchmarks)

I am interested in running a small mail server in Core 1 - Ram 2GB - SSD Disk 40GB - 2TB BW.
Are you still offering mailchannels LET offer? (10,000 emails monthy per 65 E yearly)

Thanks

Thanks gleert and naranjatech.

Can I get 2 monthly inbound mailchannels licenses with you?
I had an offer (5 usd per domain per month) from a company in Canada but they could supply the licenses only for use in their service.

We offer SpamExperts inbound spam filtering for 2€ per domain per month. With only 2 domains that needs to be quarterly payments...
