Maybe, but the "upside" of humans being such terrible drivers is that we've almost all either gotten into a bad accident, or know someone close who has. The fact that it's not going to be hard to empirically prove a difference between machine reliability in this case, and human reliability may help as well.

Unfortunately... I think the big issue is going to be pure anxiety; a bigger and more immediate form of what a lot of people experience on an airplane. Giving up even the illusion of control is supremely hard for us as a species, in general. Then there's just the fact that as a species we're terrible at risk assessment.

> I strongly agree with that in general, I just think it might be enforced differently. For example, you lose social security benefits if you do heroine, but heroine isn't illegal.

I think it should be illegal, but junkies should not be prosecuted. So I have a similar stance. The US seems to be goldmine for political activists. It is already very rich and successful and many of its social problems can be changed just through policies (e.g. prison population).

It is interesting how different (neo-)liberalism is seen in Europe vs. the US. When conservatives in the US speak about liberals they mean ordoliberalism and leftism, meaning increasing rights for people and decreasing rights for corporations, while Europe's left means the exact opposite, when it speaks about neoliberalism.

Both are wrong. (Neo-)liberalism includes both social liberalism and market liberalism. Maybe "individualism" is an easier term to describe the general idea. It should be seen as a second dimension on top of the left-right spectrum. You can introduce liberal policies that harm or help the poor or the rich.

I do not know the Libertarian party in the US, but what you are describing as libertarian here does not seem libertarian to me at all. Just careful and sensible liberalism. Libertarianism has some anarchist vibes to it. I would say the Tea party has libertarian policies.
Who Competes with VMware Now?
In a world where tech companies are competing desperately to secure as much as possible of a limited pool of female talent, quitting (and encouraging other women to do the same) is a pretty direct and powerful way to incentivize the company to do better in the future.

Apple gets a lot of good PR for having a relatively high percentage of female employees; stories like this damage that, and in this case, it sounds like the black mark is at least in part deserved.

As for the difference between American and other countries, some possible conclusions that don't rely on the meme that women are catty or that everyone is too sensitive (even if they sometimes are):

- There are legitimate cultural differences between the U.S. and other countries. Look at parental leave policy in Europe vs. the United States.

- You may be exposed to more U.S. media than non-U.S media.

- Protections for women and minorities in general in the U.S. are weaker.

- Many of the biggest tech companies are U.S. companies. Silicon Valley is in Silicon Valley. Non-U.S. companies often get less media exposure than U.S. tech companies.
There already exists a separate culture without weapons (corrections officers). Its universally less paid, less equipped, less respected and more dangerous.

Anecdotes are not evidence, and incomplete anecdotes (e.g. omitting age) are even less.
Reading stuff like this always feels weird to me. I'm the founder of a 30+ year company and, to my knowledge, this has never happened at my company. It's possible it happened and no one told me, but given my position, I would think it would eventually come around to me (I'm the COO now).

I have to wonder if behavior like this follows from bad leadership. I'm not saying Tim Cook, given the case of Apple, but middle managers. I just cannot believe that a person above the woman in TFA didn't know about this, and just let it ride, because it was just "boys being boys" or some BS like that.

I can tell you if I ever saw or heard of anyone doing this in my company, I would crack down very quick and hard. But more than that, I think the people we have lead by example and I just can't believe anyone would ever do something like TFA outlines.
There was a study a few years ago (posted below) that actually found running is fairly good for your joints as the stress encourages your body to build and repair cartilage.

If you are personally having joint issues and you want to continue to run I encourage you not to give up. Try different shoes, have your gait analyzed, even see a physical therapist who specializes in running. I obviously don't know if you are in this situation or if you have tried any of these things, but I know even a simple thing like changing the type of shoe you wear and a little rest can help resolve a lot of minor joint pain issues.

It is definitely not easy using "naked" open source Kubernetes, but it can be done. My company [1] packages Kubernetes-on-autopilot, which includes HA-configuration, single-click updates to the latest k8s version, etc.

We run it for our customers on their AWS clouds and even on enterprise infrastructure. So it's just with any OSS project: DIY-vs-invest-into-tooling.

A huge benefit of adopting Kubernetes for your SaaS product is this: it becomes much easier to push updates to enterprise environments. Selling SaaS to private clouds is pretty sweet: the size of a deal is larger but the incremental cost of R&D and ops (!) is now very low, because of standardized deployment models like k8s (what we do) or Mesos.

> It's possible to be interested in philosophy while criticizing the field as it is taught.

Absolutely. Criticism of philosophy is itself usually a philosophical undertaking.

That's a philosophical position, and very open to debate.

The article clearly states the harm may be things like cardiomegaly which you wouldn't overtly see (until you have an MI at 55). In any case, your subjective experience doesn't outweigh actual science conducted on a significant group of people. The article does make sense, you just don't like the idea because it would mean you might not be as healthy as you think.

That doesn't mean you should stop running, just that it is a decision with consequences like any other.
Don't do it to a guy either. I've put up with this crap and frankly you are just another brick in the wall.

No, I'm just saying that when you've inflated your idea of reasonably comfortable living to require a $40k car, that you should at least be somewhat self-aware that you're making a very deliberate tradeoff and spending far more than is required to achieve "nice." A newish Camry is "nice." It's reliable, it's comfortable. In fact, it's one of the most long-term reliable cars on the road. It's not exciting. It's not spectacular. It's obviously not what the person in the article wants. It's ~$23k new. Prius V. The list continues.

There's a large gap between a $40k car and a "cheap beater." It's full of ... nice cars. There've been plenty of other examples in this thread.

The author of the article didn't want a nice car. He wanted to indulge an expensive passion for high-end cars. I'm not going to criticize the passion - I'm in the middle of a hideously indulgent kitchen remodel (which is costing quite a bit more than that car, alas). Where I disagree is with the implied lack of awareness that these expensive hobbies are one of the underlying factors that rendered his lifestyle incompatible with his salary.

"I love expensive, fast cars, and found that by getting a good job in a low-cost-of-living area, I could feed my family and still indulge my passion" -- good on you! Three thumbs up for making that move. I just moved back to Pittsburgh from Palo Alto. You'll get no disagreement about the cost of living in the bay area in general. Housing is offensively expensive there.

Look at a male Olympian long distance runner's physique. Is that what you want to look like? You probably won't get there, but is that a worthwhile goal? Whereas a short or mid distance runner looks more normal and healthy. This tells me that I probably want to run shorter distances. In fact, I never run more than a mile, but do it quickly.

> The result of the ruling, however, has put almost a billion dollars in SuperPACs.

Absolutely incorrect. There are two issues with your claim:

1. The overwhelming bulk of that money comes from individuals, not corporations, and thus was not restricted by the pre-Citizens United rules. (Billionaires have always been free to spend whatever they like.)

2) Much of that money is being spent on activities which did not count as "express advocacy" or "direct electioneering" under the pre-Citizens United rules, and were thus legal for corporate money to fund. (An ad that talks about Clinton being a terrible person but doesn't expressly tell you to vote for Trump was always legal, even if paid for by corporate money, so long as it ran more than 60 days before the election.)

Of the two issues, both undermine your point, but the first is by far the most important. Note, for example, that according to the WaPo, a full 41 percent of that "billion dollars" came from a mere 50 individuals. Corporate money is a sideshow; this election is all about billionaires. And Citizens United didn't change the rules governing individuals.

Has it occurred to you that much of the outrage over Citizens United has been cynically manufactured by the super-rich to distract you from the actual issue?
Question -- you say that you are a person who is able to learn in solitude. Would you have been able to pursue your dive into Philosophy without the environment that Brown offered you?

I ask this for a few reasons.

1) I have a fairly strong interest in the discipline, but have found rigorous self guided study to be a challenge, beyond cursory readings of the classics and a smattering of modern theorists like Singer.

2) I feel that a fortunate circumstance today that the fastest growing, lucrative profession is programming, which now has a wealth of online resources for new entrants to get started and become proficient. Many other technical disciplines require prohibitively expensive lab equipment to learn the craft. I wonder if philosophy is a discipline within the humanities that is more difficult to cultivate in a self-directed fashion than others.
Of course rent is flowing to you. You are capturing $rent = $your_salary - $market_salary. On many past occasions I've also captured rents; I've captured wages that are higher than they would be absent Trumpian forces that protected me from economic competition by folks born outside the US.

Perhaps you think that rent is good, but that's a different statement. I'm sure that most Trump supporters also feel they deserve rents at the expense of Mexicans/those who might otherwise employ Mexicans.

I'm not sure what "colloquial speech" you refer to or what you mean by "pejorative sense". As far as I know "rent seeker" is a technical term used primarily by economists to refer to people who take actions to seek/preserve their rent. If you feel it's pejorative, that's only because on some level you recognize that harming others for personal gain is not a good thing.

The time that I worked at Apple was brutally hard work. If we're talking about work environment, I think many people reading that article have no concept of how difficult a job it is, how high are the expectations, and how many hours the average engineer is putting in there.

This is a very difficult job which can be extremely stressful for a long duration of time. As a society we tend to laud grueling hard work rather than recognize that it's probably the worst aspect of the work environment by far.

As far as TFA goes... it appears to be reporting on "leaked" emails telling a one-sided narrative with no attempt to validate the claims. Not to diminish the claims being made, but I think this is technically called "storytelling".

Taking it a face value though, it seems tame in comparison to other 'scandals'. I simply do not expect that people will constantly remain professional. They will need to blow off steam, and sometimes the way they do that will not be fully inclusive, or necessarily politically correct. Yes, sometimes men actually complain about their wives at work -- this is not shocking to me. I don't like that employee complaints seem to be poorly handled; all employees should be valued and listened to at least.

None of what I read in TFA I really understand to be a hostile work environment, as the term is defined. Is "toxic" supposed to be a new term to describe feeling uncomfortable or not getting the promotion you wanted? Apple's work environment is certainly extreme, but I think for reasons very much apart from gender.
It's possible that if this persons behaviour was conducted in a professional manner they would have let him into the crime scene but thats a very small possibility. The Police can call in an Ambulance or Fire rescue on a whim if they need it. Its more likely that they would not take the risk. At a minimum they would have to ID you and search you first.

I doubt very highly this case will make it to court. Or see any sort if compensation.

"Show me your ID"

"Why?"

"Show me your ID! You must obey an officer."

"I haven't done anything, I need to know he is OK, and I will be on my way"

Thats where any possibility of a civil ending to this story ends. He refused to show his ID while trying to enter a crime scene while officers were apprehending a suspect. At that point he becomes a danger to the Officers. Possibly an accomplice to the person in custody. Who knows what the crime was, how many suspects they were looking for etc.

On the self defence note, if anyone were to attempt to enter a crime scene and refuse to show ID and manage to get into an altercation with an Officer which lead to your death. There would be no chance that Officer would be on the wrong side of the law.
From all they ways I can be spied, the webcam is the one that concerns me the least.

At the end, all they will see is a bearded man staring to the front. May they be able to see me naked? Well, probably, but I honestly don't think that they will make a lot of money by selling my naked pictures... My wife tells me that I still look good, but I suspect that she is being nice to me.

What would scare more is that they manage to capture what is on my screen, or install a keylogger, or activate the microphones to hear my conversations, or that they access my hard disks and steal data, including my private keys.

Hey, but putting a sticker on your webcam is a way to show how 1337 your are!

I appreciate your comment. Truly, it won't reach you, it will stay stuck in middle management.

To keep something like this from happening you need to implement training. Training for both men and women on what is acceptable "here", because believe it or not, people are not learning from their home or college environments about what you think is acceptable.

interesting comment. i wonder though -- how much of this is cause vs effect (e.g., people with bodies naturally suited to shorter vs longer distances), and how much of "do i want to look like that" is your particular, perhaps arbitrary cultural associations of "this is good"?

>Why are most of these articles about harassment in the office associated with American companies? Are women from other countries afraid to speak about this? Or are American women just overreacting?

It's a change in culture and expectations. It's also class specific. Men and women in the working class have different expectations and, in my experience, women in the working class can be just as brutal as men, when it comes to harassment.

To further the cultural aspect, it's like corporal punishment in the US as a way to steer child behavior. In some places of the world it's still okay and people see it as normal but most kids in the US would see corporal punishment as something that only happens to kids in bad households and many would call the cops on their parents or strangers --this of course was not the case 50-70 years ago.

If you're so concerned about having your webcam subverted, it seems like the first step would be to insist on a hardware LED that can't be subverted in firmware. If nothing else, it would serve as a canary, indicating that your machine has been thoroughly compromised.

In fairness, you can still capture conversations from a webcam if your mark is speaking right in front of it, regardless of whether microphones are on.

I ran 80-90 miles per week while in college and continued running 20-30 per week for a couple of years after until my knee stopped cooperating (I'm really looking forward to knee surgery in October).

I have experienced some of the described symptoms (irregular heartbeat and etc), but wouldn't have done much differently. Honestly, this article basically boils down to 'do what your body can handle'.

People are different. Bodies are different. Some people can handle 120 miles per week. Some people struggle to run one. Running is obviously good for your health, just don't over do it. And stretch and foam roll, that's as important as anything.
