Because it's not simple. There are interests to be balanced and you can bet that defense counsel will challenge that decision pre-trial, at trial, and at appeal - and rightly so, it's not something that should be used with impunity.

Although creative writers love to put law enforcement characters on the horns of dilemmas like this because it makes for great drama, in real life the PIE does not get invoked that often because law enforcement doesn't want to risk blowing a case on it. Here, we're not balancing the public interest against all the rights of the suspect, but against his right to given notice of his legal situation. He could still clam up, ask for a lawyer, have one provided for him if he can't hire one etc., but the difference is that they're entitled under the PIE to ask him for information about outstanding risk factors (and only that) instead of giving him an advisory.

I'm guessing a bit here, but I have a hunch that if he said 'look, I set off those bombs on Monday, I feel terrible...' the interrogating officer would actually respond by saying 'we can discuss that later, now I just want to know about whether there are other bombs or weapons,' both because that's the actual priority and to avoid later legal challenges to do with 'fruits of the poisonous tree,' a colloquial term for improperly acquired evidence.
This article is pretty far fetched on timing. To think that Google Fiber will kill off major carriers/internet providers in 5 years is absurd. Realistically, 15+ years would sound about right. Just laying the groundwork on infrastructure alone would kill the 5 year plan. I do applaud Google for doing this, as this will eventually bring the U.S. to competitive internet speeds for the masses.
No amount of money is going to help you if you're consistently working 80+ ours a week over a long period of time.
Assuming total compensation of $200K, 1:1 private/public funds, cohort of 28 gives a yearly burn of $5.6M ($2.3M for the local municipal to raise) for, say, 5 years = $28M (3yrs = ~17M) during (or hopefully after) which they want to see a payout coming directly from the AF's revenues.

You mentioned 37.5% earlier, but the city would probably expect you to model this in such a way that X% will be duds, so their return will most likely be much lower than 37.5%. 10x-100x VC-istan-like hits should not be banked on given the sole purpose of the Autonomy Fund is to create medium-growth companies (10%-40% p.a. growth rates).

Perhaps factor in a legal, HR, accounting, IT and facilities teams for AF-backed individuals (i.e. backend G&A organizational infrastructure) @ 10-15% and your baseline burn rate should be adjusted accordingly. Let's say $6.5M per year, of which $3.25M comes from municipal/state/federal public funding.

I do agree with him. Most ADHD/ADD patients put too much focus on the disease, when the only thing that matters is to be willing to do something about it, asap!

I think you might be barking up the wrong tree here - OP's plan is to create an investment fund that focusses on long-term investment in talented people, rather than the VC approach of investing in "whatever facebook/twitter/google might buy to acquihire the founders".
being skeptical isn't being dismissive. There's alot of software that simply never takes off for one reason or another, so an air of skepticism is reasonable.

Nice. It reminds me a little of Prograph/Prograph CPX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prograph
Crimes like "it is illegal to drive and use a mobile device" and "it is illegal to drive while intoxicated" are meant to be preventative. You are committing a crime merely by creating the risk that something bad could happen.

But where does it stop? If, hypothetically, children raised by a single mother are more likely to commit violent crimes, then it ought to be illegal to be a single mother. That sort of law, which seems crazy, seems to be along the same thought process of why you shouldn't use your cell phone while driving.
Three things I want to say in this comment with the submission:

1.) The interview starts 31 seconds into the video, here: http://youtu.be/Ns0IHCj2q-E?t=31s.

2.) It's from over a month ago but I simply cannot find it on here as having been already posted. Hacker News Musk-fatigue or no, that seems so implausible (especially as I think it's rather good), but the basic youtube link didn't return a previous submission so along with a fruitless Google search for "Hacker News Elon Musk Rainn Wilson" that was good enough for me. Of course people are going to comment on this being a month old and I almost even put a "(March 2013)" in the title. (!)

3.) I know many of us are sick of hearing about this damn guy but I found the video very entertaining and well constructed. Good questions, good answers, just the right amount of humour. I was glued and could not stop watching until the end. He came over really well and succeeded in softening my portion of that slightly bitter jealousy that we all pretend we don't have about the chap.

What you are seeing/referencing is the output of commands during earlier runlevels; the X server won't start until runlevel 5 (number selected off the top of my head). That said, it'd be good to give users of mainstream Linux distributions like Ubuntu the option to suppress output from the boot scripts.

Just a thought, without knowing your app very well or the usage the kids make of it, but it sounds like some kind of new feature unlocked via an IAP may make sense.

Right now it looks like you're releasing each content pack as a new app, that's also free. There's your problem. Release content packs as IAP, give 3 away for free and charge $1 each for new content packs. There's your revenue stream. If the app is really teaching the kid stuff, parents will probably pony up and pay a few bucks now and then, since they care about their children's education.

I love this idea but the idea of tying it to your locality seems a little exclusionary for no reason. Granted, I am biased as I am based in the UK, but I can't think of any major problems with organising this through teleconferences?
Agreed. And I think the article is less about "Steve Jobs" and more about the lessons to be learned from high-level project difficulties, and the people on the ground caught up in the line of fire when things don't go to plan. Or, when blame is unleashed unjustly from management, whose plan was flawed in the beginning, or whose chain of command failed to notice the red flags raised along the way.

The other article on her blog is also worth a look, and a good reminder about communication in the workplace. "How to handle conflict"....

Hi Neil.

1. I teach Computing/IT and a few AU specific subjects (Research Project and Personal Learning Plan). In the past I have taught Maths up to year 8 level also. Both IT and Maths are great subjects. Personally I'm very happy teaching either of them. One thing to note is that as a teacher you do have to be willing to take on a subject you may not be entirely qualified for. For example I'm currently teaching a year 8 media studies course without having any media training. It's really all about having an open mind.

2. Having worked outside of teaching first, even though it was only for 3 years, was invaluable. Career teachers who have only ever taught are a strange bunch. They have a totally distorted picture of reality. They don't realise that in the "real world" people:

a) have line managers,

b) have to keep time sheets which require that literally every hour of time is billed to a client,

c) have a boss working across from you or continuously looking over your shoulder,

d) have only 4 weeks of paid vacation,

e) have a requirement to justify every sick day and produce a doctor's certificate for each absence etc.

f) The list goes on and on.

So in answer to your question: Having a "real" job outside of teaching has been the single best thing I ever did for my "career". It means that even after almost 10 years of teaching I still appreciate all of the great things this job has to offer.

Having said that, teaching is not for everyone. It isn't rocket surgery, but not everyone has what it takes. You have to really love the act of teaching, as well as liking being around kids most of the time.

I'm glad you're considering teaching as a career. I hope, whatever path you choose, things work out in your favour. If you have any further questions then I'm happy to pass on my email address.

All the best.
Don't blame Bush, the Obama administration Justice department created the Miranda exception for "operational terrorists". This has nothing to do with enemy combatants; rather, there is the possibility that an active terror suspect on US soil has information about an active threat to public safety, and the police have a right (and duty) to question him about possible threats.

You will perhaps notice if you look again that there is a caterpillar on her finger.

Even if she was giving the finger I doubt that would count against her business given the the intersection between the set of "urban cyclists" they are targeting and the set of people likely to be offended by such a picture is likely to be very small, if such an intersection even exists.
No, Miranda means they don't have to answer questions and they can have a lawyer present.

Yes. Make the goal of your organisation a social good, and not making money.
I was most impressed that he took a bite out of Rainn's chicken burger at the end. He didn't even try to find a piece that Rainn didn't already eat from, he just went for it. His general attitude reminds me a bit of Richard Branson.
I recall one astronaut addressing this. He'd been on several Shuttle / ISS missions. After his first return to Earth, he was sleeping and, as I recall, his son had climbed into bed with the astronaut and his wife. The astronaut tried to reposition his son by simply pushing him away and releasing him, which didn't work so well.

After multiple trips, his adaptation to zero-g / full-g became much more automatic.

Similar, animals used in zero-g experiments seem to adapt to multiple trips. A female mouse learned how to scoot her infants in zero-g.

> the X server won't start until runlevel 5

I don't think that the runlevel numbers are sequential. You can switch between levels (and that corresponds to more or less services running) but you pretty much boot directly to runlevel 5.

Within a runlevel, services are ordered, though (either by an arbitrary integer or by dependency).

The main advantage is: the congestion control!
With MPTCP you could deal with congestion at the transport level. Meaning, if you have three flow MPTCP will select the best (less RTT, space in the win, etc..) link to send datas, where the bonding is just balancing with a XOR or a round robin. This is definitely a big advantage, not only in datacenters but if you have a 3G and a WiFi connection. More about the congestion control: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mptcp-congestion

Research just observes that if you try to keep your environment in the state in which you have maximum number of possible futures you can choose from by acting in specific way, then your behavior leading to this state seems intelligent.
Bottom Line: You have identified your problem. Your previous attempts at a solution have failed. Keep looking for solutions until you find something that works.

In my experience, adderall is extremely helpful. And in fact, I feel more like my normal self when I take it (after the first few days of feeling like I was on speed). A healthy diet and exercise is critical too, as is a balanced life in general.

Your brain is biological, just like the rest of your body. It can have various types and degrees of deviations from "normal", and I'm not sure there even is a "normal". So, definitely listen to people you love and respect, but always keep in mind that only you know what it's like to be you (to the extent you understand yourself). It's equally important to take responsibility for what you can, and to avoid blaming yourself for things incorrectly. You will be able to tell the difference more and more as you spend time observing and trying to truly understand yourself, without judgement or pretense.

There are challenges that cannot be overcome with sheer power of will, especially if the will is the very thing that is compromised. Sometimes brute force works, but sometimes a little creative hacking is necessary. ;)

Also, random things in my case which probably don't apply to you, but just in case, some factors to consider: allergies, proper glasses prescription, nasal obstruction (deviated septum). All those were things which I think exacerbated the condition, so it's helpful to rule those out. Or in the case of allergies, minimize the damage and identify the effects of various allergen seasons.

Good luck! You obviously have initiative, so I'm sure you will do just fine.
> That said, it'd be good to give users of mainstream Linux distributions like Ubuntu the option to suppress output from the boot scripts.

Haven't major distros been doing this for years? I only see the output if I press escape, and pressing escape again suppresses it. Otherwise I just see a progress bar/animation.
Exactly, that's the point. I was wondering how to rightly interrogate to a severely wounded person. (sarcasm: You can not talk of course, but, hey! do you want this pretty anaesthetic injection?)

Here is a real risk to end like in Madrid's 11-M, dead terrorists -> no answers -> a lot of problems for all spaniards. The FBI will probably want to secure the game and to avoid this, and to avoid the spreading of rumours for years also. The full recovering of this guy probably is in his priority's list now. And I'm not joking at all. Simply there is no point in let him die; only other terrorists (if they are other terrorists) could gain something with this. It's the old same history since Lee Harvey Oswald.

Your affection for the man, the legend, has nothing to do with the fact that the iCloud project launch went wrong, or that he was simply an asshole.

The bureaucratic blockages, and the failure of communication along the chain of command, was ultimately the responsibility of this legendary, line-cutting CEO, who you prop up as a God.

In the end, you have no idea whether Jobs could have been even more successful had he not been an asshole.

And please don't draw parallels with Jim Morrison, who died at 27 not 56. Morrison had an alcohol problem more than drugs. That you argue the drugs led to, or were the reason for his success is preposterous.

Steve Jobs' "mix of asshole and genius he got absolutely perfect" you say? Well, I'm glad you've found your idol, but the person who actually worked with him, and saw his methods first hand, doesn't see things through the same rose-colored glasses.
As in all things, it's not so much of a "yes/no" diagnosis, but a spectrum. But the range they can give you in the spectra (ADD/ADHD) seem to be pretty tight.

From my experience, they asked me about past behaviour, current behaviour, and some questions to probe my ability to keep track of the conversation. It was the questions about my past and current that really shocked me. They were asking if I did specific things that I just thought was "me being weird' but are actually /extremely/ typical of people forming coping mechanisms for different symptoms.
