> many of those people would have been saved if they had sought medical treatment instead of self-aid

The problem is that unlike here in Germany, where the state is required to be able to send help in 10-15 minutes at your house (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfsfrist), there is no such requirement in the US. Overdoses are time critical, especially as not every overdosed guy gets noticed in time.
Did anyone bother to read the full article? If so, you would find out that it was a [somewhat] controlled experiment.

> To better simulate the experience of driving a vehicle while it’s being hijacked by an invisible, virtual force, Miller and Valasek refused to tell me ahead of time what kinds of attacks they planned to launch from Miller’s laptop in his house 10 miles west.

> Instead, they merely assured me that they wouldn’t do anything life-threatening.

> Then they told me to drive the Jeep onto the highway. “Remember, Andy,” Miller had said through my iPhone’s speaker just before I pulled onto the Interstate 64 on-ramp, “no matter what happens, don’t panic.”
> Second, as some other have pointed out, what exactly is self control? What exactly do you do with that self control?

That is a simplistic criticism. The way you answer this question for yourself is to (1) look at the paper and how they define self-control (and cellular aging!), (2) follow the references that they cite for measuring self-control, (3) review the literature and critique it. Else, your suggestion is that people in the field of self-control haven't bothered asking your question, which is unlikely since they are specializing in the study of self-control!
I'm building a team in Saigon right now. I've been traveling back and forth from Los Angeles. The talent can fluctuate, but if you know how to read resumes, you can find real gems. Those who graduated from public schools are quite good. The wealthy go to private. The work ethic is very solid.
1. Content - depending on your product, create a blog. Don't necessarily focus on your product, focus on your market as a whole. Discuss trends, issues, etc... Don't bad mouth competitors and only plug your product occasionally or through links in the sidebar or footer. Publish content on a regular basis.

Same with social media accounts. Don't buy followers, but instead just work to continuously build your follower list. Look at your competitors and see who follows them and who they follow. Follow all you can. Post new content and different content to each account.

2. Time - unfortunately you will not see results overnight. Don't get discouraged. Keep at it.

3. Sitemaps - Google/Microsoft Webmaster Tools. Create sitemaps for your product site and blog. Use these tools to track your rankings along with keywords that visitors are using to reach your sites. You will probably find keywords you had never thought of. Target those keywords.

4. Google Adwords/Bing Ads/Facebook Ads - I know you said you didn't have a budget for any ads, but often times you can find ad credits for these networks. Google is infamous for offering spend $25 get $100 credit coupons for new customers. There is probably someone on here that has one they can get you.

5. Look at your competitors and find their weaknesses. For example, I am by no means a SEO expert, and it is not my specialty, however, I worked with a client last year that was looking to rank on the first page of Google for a specific keyword. We found a competitor's blog that was not getting updated often (last update had been over a year earlier). By publishing fresh content, sharing that content, and getting clicks we were able to overtake that competitor on the first page within 1 month.

6. Find "partners" or "cheerleaders". Reach out to sites that are in your market to have them write about your product. Look for reporters who have written about similar products previously. Reach out to them. If you are a good writer, or can afford a couple hundred bucks, you can write your own press release and put it on PRNewswire. While it may not get picked up by any reporters, that site tends to rank well by itself and will draw attention to your company/product.

7. Depending on your product submit it to a site like Product Hunt or do a Show HN.

8. Make sure the underlying code of your website is well written. Make sure the titles are clear, and that you take into account good SEO techniques (use of meta description, heading tags, anchor text, useful content on pages, etc...).

9. Good luck and remember #2 above. If anything the most important thing to remember is that it will not happen overnight, so do not give up easily.
They're still releasing some solid stuff -- but from what I understand there were some political dust-ups regarding which institutions got their priorities implemented first, which led to people dropping out, which led to a lack of momentum to draw in new institutions.

The situations are still very different; following the exponential growth of travel speed (the article's graphs leading to interstellar travel) would need something like a wormhole generator or a warp drive.

- A space shuttle with a warp drive powered by a captive black hole (or whatever) needs huge industry or government levels of cash; anyone with a few hundred dollars, a cloud computing account and an internet connection can look at brain scan data and write software tests, or join in protein folding distributed experiments.

- The kind of engineering to create a skyscraper sized machine needs Lockheed-Martin size factories and hundreds of specialist component makers, and a lot of metal and employees. Poking at cell-sized biology can be done in a small room by one or two people, a small machine and a single UPS delivery of supplies.

Yes we can't do either, but outdoing current computing ability seems much closer - more people have the opportunity, more people have the incentive, there are many more avenues of approach, and we know it's fundamentally possible - than outdoing current rocket engines. Closer, and more useful.
> I'd go as far as to say that the way they demonstrated this actually diminishes the message of the danger of this exploit and put's the focus on their stupidity.

Doing it the way they did clearly increases the impact of their message. To believe otherwise belies ignorance of the way information gets spread in our culture. The question is only if the increased impact was properly balanced against the increased risk.

It seems insane to me that naloxone isn't over the counter everywhere. It's a drug with (as far as my limited reading goes) literally no potential for abuse. To be fair, it has no purpose unless you are taking opiates, but it seems the worst kind of paternalism to say that you can't have something because it makes it less dangerous to do drugs.

There is even a bigger problem. These researchers, even if they were negligent, are far more at risk of legal punishment for creating a small risk for the sake of increasing safety standards overall than the people who choose to cut security funding and put magnitudes more people at risk for the sake of making more money.

Isn't it odd that we have a legal system where the ones attempt to expose and fix the problem for the sake of safety are facing far greater legal trouble than those who knowingly allowed for the problem to first occur due to increasing profits?

I personally don't believe that not rewarding an action counts as "retaliation" for said action.
I also believe, based on Xooglers commenting, that there might have been very good reasons to reject the peer bonuses (no, that was not the only case, in which peer bonuses got rejected, it's not that unheard of...).

This post reminds me of a recent trend on cold-call emails I've been getting, namely them being framed in an overly casual way that implies a personal connection that doesn't exist.

Saying things like "I just wanted to see how you're handling X" and then going into the sales spiel, or "I wanted to circle back around Y" and so on.

I'm assuming this is more effective than the previous methods or they wouldn't be using it, but I find it even more off-putting.

> but if an accident did happen then I'm not so sure the researchers or journalist would be at fault.

So the people that purposely tried to cause the accident wouldn't be at fault for the accident if it occurred..?

I find it highly amusing that in your scenario you're using an unpredictable failure as an equal for an intentional act.

A better scenario would be:

I open your car bonnet while you go to the bathroom. I half-cut some cables knowing that they will fail when you knock them a few more times. You come out, get in your car, and drive down the freeway. A few miles later your car stops suddenly in the fast lane, and a big rig crashes into you while you sit there stopped going 70 MpH and you die. According to you I am not, at all, responsible for your death.

Or better yet still:

You just stop on the freeway just for fun/see what would happen. Someone drives into the back of you at 70 MpH and THEY die. According to you, you aren't at all responsible for that.
Stop overthinking. When you were young, you didn't know anything, so you had no choice but to start coding. You get older, you have seen a hundred different ways, and analysis paralysis becomes a crutch. Stop over thinking, start doing, even if you gotta cowboy code it. Use a language with a nice REPL, Lisp, Prolog, Python, even something like psysh for PHP, explore your ideas. Then when you are done experimenting, code fast. Refactor fast.
“Look at this. What do you see?” He nodded at Tony again.

“So it would appear. Your identification is quite understandable --- and quite wrong. I want you all to memorize this piece of work. Look well. Because it may easily be the most evil object you will ever encounter.”

They looked wildly impressed, but totally bewildered. He commanded their absolute silence and utmost attention.

“That,” he pointed for emphasis, his voice growing heavy with scorn, “is a falsified inspection record. Worse, it’s one of a series. A certain subcontractor... found its profit margin endangered by a high volume of its work being rejected... The welds passed the computer certification all right --- because it was the same damn good weld, replicated over and over again...”

He gathered his breath. “This is the most important thing I will ever say to you. The human mind is the ultimate testing device...

Can it be claimed information published on the www for everyone to see as "private"?

It's like saying my name is private. Moreover, when they do background checks they get private information on me which I would actually have to pay for even when the information is about me. I don't think its as clear cut as you make it out to be.
I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but the article does say:

> (The reward or penalty is sometimes adjusted when lopsided battles occur, for example, rewarding an extra 2 points to an underdog team. For purposes of this analysis, we'll ignore those adjustments.)

The disconnection penalty does sound interesting, though. You could even argue that the network errors are a kind of balancing away from the trend that this article describes, by forcing ranks downward - although I doubt that was deliberate on the part of the developers :-)
This is pretty awesome looking. I have hours and hours of gopro footage, and no edited video to show for it. Target demographic here.
> Is the government portion of this solely from governmental contraction and shrinking of programs?

Not necessarily. The Department of Defense, for example, has been making a concerted push over the last few years to disperse a bunch of offices that used to all be clustered in the D.C. metro area out across the country at large. As a result, neighborhoods in Northern Virginia like Pentagon City and Crystal City that used to be nothing but endless blocks of government-leased office space have started shifting towards more high-end residential development and the lifestyle businesses that high-end residential development attracts -- trendy restaurants and bars and so forth.

This has led to the somewhat bizarre sight of Crystal City, which was built in the '60s as a sort of dystopian Brutalist Disneyworld of giant, blank office towers connected by a warren of underground tunnels, suddenly looming down disapprovingly on outdoor concerts and tapas joints.

> Calling the police on security researchers...I honestly cannot believe this is considered acceptable behavior.

But putting many lives in danger is considered acceptable behavior by security researchers? Does it actually matter that it was security researchers? Do security researchers working on banking software need to steal a million dollars in order to prove that they've found an issue? Would calling the police be acceptable in that situation?

Actual outrage is acceptable when there's actual danger. Calling the cops on a loud neighbor might not be acceptable, but calling the cops on a neighbor firing a gun in the general direction of your house certainly would be.
For me the main thing is not how to sleep after a day of coding but how to stop the day of coding from becoming a night of coding. It's really tempting to slide into the night when I'm in my zone.

Otherwise f.lux is a must though it does not work on chromebook or ipad. Nevertheless when I'm really bothered with coding the only thing that will help is melatonin. I take it a few hours before going to bed and it ensures I can sleep reasonably but it makes me too tired to be social late nights and early mornings. The uvex glasses did not have a huge effect on me.
I suspect that the thought behind not making it available is the same line of reasoning that leads to various prohibitions on contraceptives: "if they use it, then the 'bad' behavior will increase."
Think of them as different layers. If you're a front end web dev, it's sort of like SASS vs CSS: the former is a layer on top of the latter that makes it more powerful/convenient/easier to use.

At the bottom of the stack (most low level) is the Docker runtime. It knows how to run containers on the local machine. It can link them together, manage volumes, etc but at the core it is a single machine system. (That's probably why Docker, Inc has developed their proprietary orchestration tools like swarm).

Layered on top of that are container-native OSes like CoreOS. CoreOS provides facilities for running distributed containers on multiple physical nodes. It handles things like replication and restarting failed containers (actually fleet "units"). This is a huge improvement over vanilla Docker, but it's still pretty low level. If you want to run a real production application with dependencies it can be tedious. For example, linking together containers that run on different nodes. How does container A find container B (which may be running on any one of N nodes)? To solve this you have to do things like the Ambassador Pattern[1]. Any complex application deployment involves essentially building discovery and dependency management from scratch.

Layered on top of this is Kubernetes (it runs on CoreOS but also Ubuntu and others). As said elsewhere in this post, k8s provides an opinionated workflow that allows you to build distributed application deployments without the pain of implementing things like low-level discovery. You describe your application in terms of containers, ports, and services and k8s takes care of spawning them, managing replica count (restarting/migrating if necessary) and discovery (via DNS or environment variables).

One of the very convenient things about k8s (unlike vanilla Docker) is that all containers within a pod can find each other via localhost, so you don't have to maintain tedious webs of container links. In general it takes the world of containerization from "Cool technology, but good luck migrating production over" to "I think we could do this!".

Thomas Jefferson is to blame and not one mention of taxes? I would be really surprised that some research wouldn't find that many of these office parks are built outside of the borders of major cities to avoid paying taxes, or were provided incentives by neighbouring municipalities to build further out and pay lower tax. The lower cost is attractive and allows the company to operate in a big shiny building that immediately lends credibility to the company. Further, there is no mention of ample amounts of free parking. I think this article is very lacking, the for lease signs on suburban office parks across much of North America isn't really a mystery.
How in the world is "don't panic on public roads when we attack you without warning" a controlled experiment, in any sense of the word? ;)

Calling the police was completely inappropriate, but downvoting the comment as a way to signal your disapproval with his action in the real world isn't helpful. The comment itself is well written, on topic, and leading to good discussion.
