Yes, depression is usually not about the money, but personal issues. My hardest days personally have been when things were going well and best were when I was unable to keep the lights on/pay bills. When the business was almost failing I had my significant other with me 24/7. After I ruined the most important relationship in my life, the business improved dramatically and I was mentally in a far worse place.

I would happily leave the company to get her back or undo losing her. That's what people don't understand, you're an entrepreneur for the journey not the money (even if only subconsciously). Thus, people shouldn't assume there are money/ startup problems when someone is depressed.

How does that explain that these low tax buildings are now being left empty in favor of options in the higher tax cities? If they were so desirable they wouldn't be sitting empty.
Leftists go by label

Your entire post was using a label ("leftist") to justify your statement. Maybe examine yourself before casting the net out to others.
It failed because the "domino" states represented an additional support burden on the Communist core states of Russia and China, who were themselves split ideologically. The Cold War basically prevented some internal conflict within the Communist Bloc by providing an external menace and scapegoat. But it was also economic warfare, turning what would have been a shooting war into another kind of money-spending contest.

Rather than building momentum, additional satellite nations just stressed the central powers economically. In theory, it would have been a self-supporting revolution, but in practice, it looked like just another overextended empire.

But it's too easy to criticize with the benefit of hindsight. They had no way of knowing back then the typical failure modes of Communist nations.

My hypothesis is that a better anti-Communist strategy would have been for the non-Communist nations to offer generous asylum/refugee-based immigration programs to those fleeing from the threat of Communist rebels in their home countries. Aside from that, stay out of the internal politics of the Communist bloc. Sadly, this is now untestable, so nobody should give it more than a few moments of light consideration.

Network effects are powerful. Silicon Valley largely runs (today) on monetizing network effects, and network effects are also why Silicon Valley is all concentrated in the Bay Area.

The primary factor is concentration of capital: it is exponentially easier to raise money in the Bay. The second is concentration of talent and peers -- early customers, beta testers, development partners.

The Internet was supposed to make place less relevant, but as far as I can tell it's had a paradoxically opposite effect. When I was younger, I didn't have such a strong sense that you must be in one of maybe ten urban areas (but preferably SF) to do anything. Today it feels a bit like things happen in one of maybe ten cities, and everywhere else doesn't exist. Americans have always joked about the "flyover country," but I've distinctly noticed a massive increase in this effect since circa 2000.
You have to get there. Which means jumping in a car and driving on the freeway for a while. I really can't see myself doing that ever.

My employer ran out of space in our downtown office and we bought a building out in a suburban area and I flat out told my boss that I'll quit if forced to move there. The quality of life issue for me would've been overwhelming. An extra 2 hours of commute every day so my employer can pay 40% of the rent I cost them downtown? No! I liked my 20 minutes subway and walk commute.

In fact, the only people I work with that moved to that boring office park all lived within a 15 minutes drive of it and used to drive in to the downtown office. It's kind of a white elephant, there's room for all the Montreal employees in there but there's really like 60. Quite a few of them hired after the purchase of the building and not given the choice.
To add to the others, in a nutshell:

- Mesos is a generalized, low level framework for distributing workloads over multiple nodes. It provides mechanism not policy. Therefore it requires quite a bit of up-front work to build something usable for any given application.

- Kubernetes is an opinionated cluster execution tool. It provides tools and a curated workflow for running distributed containerized applications. It's generally pretty quick and easy to get running.

- Mesos has a rich, resource-aware task scheduler. You can specify that your application requires X CPU units and Y RAM units and it will find the optimum node to run the task on.

- By contrast, the Kubernetes scheduler currently is rather dumb[1]. There's no way to specify the expected resource utilization for pods, and the scheduler simply tries to spread out replicas as much as possible throughout the available nodes.

People are (rightly) excited about things like Mesosphere which could allow the best of both worlds: the ease and API of Kubernetes with a powerful Mesos resource scheduler, not to mention nice-to-haves like a Web UI with pretty visualizations.

You can now cut me a check for 50% of the consulting revenue you get from this information. :)

1. The scheduler is intentionally simple and pluggable, to allow improvements easily in the future. My statements only apply to the current state of Kubernetes as deployed today.

There's a huge issue of laws built around the intention of an action. That is, the action itself is not illegal unless also backed by a given intention. These cases are nearly impossible to prove in court. How do you prove that someone did something with a certain intention? Especially when they have 5th amendment protection? Unless they come out and say it voluntarily, or unless you have solid evidence such as emails, you're not going to get very far.

I'm baffled (reporting ethics aside).

One would think that car industry would be the one which has learnt about road safety the hard way. That experience should have manifested into extreme caution when adopting and implementing anything new, open and complex.

Sadly it is starting to look that everything they learn, they do by trial and error. Not by doing those things we take for granted from engineering and IT perspective.
Event reccommendation with machine learning
> This was an extremely childish move that had the propensity to hurt our industry more than help it. It is incumbent upon us take safety seriously in conducting these experiments.
We can't count on level heads from outside the tech industry if we aren't willing to show that we care about people's lives and their safety when we're conducting these experiments.

Agreed. I would have no problems with them doing this on a test track, closed highway, or even a quiet road at low speeds. Even if we take the best possible negative scenario—say, the car is disabled going at 25 miles an hour, the driver can't handle manual steering, and then runs into someone's fence—the insurance companies are going to throw the book at the driver when they learn that they purposefully disabled their car and engaged in dangerous behavior on a public street.

I'm all for pushing the boundaries of security research (there are people in the labs all around me right now doing crazy stuff), but at least we in the academic world get our crazy stuff signed off on by a panel of competent experts.

It also absolutely blows my mind. This just feels wrong. 17 separate packages, some providing really basic stuff like serving favicons and parsing POST requests that must be a part of bigger framework. Each package is of different quality, testing strategy, and depends on a different developer who's completely free to abandon his project tomorrow or introduce some backwards-incompatible change. This trend as a whole looks unreliable, like a wobbly house of cards near a working fan.
Yep and this hints that a transit strategy is a good way to revitalize some of these development. Especially if the transit line will attract mixed-use and residential developments.

Everything is Problematic
"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"

If you were gonna throw out a spitball estimate for the 3 numbers:

1) Tax impact in city vs burbs

2) Cost of land / lease in city vs burbs

3) Company payroll/benefits

What would you guess the ratio of #1 to #2 + #3 is?
Your post basically boils down to:

1. You don't trust the police/legal system.

2. You trust our own community more.

Not saying I agree or disagree, but there are a LOT of people who would really disagree with this, and a lot more who would think that someone saying "why involved the actual people the public has chosen to deal with this, we can deal with it ourselves" would be very wrong.

I'm not sure anyone really loves suburbia, but once in place, car oriented development has a way of being self sustaining.

This "Cycle of automobile dependency" image shows it pretty well.

Only recently, with huge effort and many setbacks, are we starting to see cities break out of car oriented development and this endless suburban sprawl creating loop.

I'm a bit concerned that the advent of the self driving car could take us backward to more car oriented development and suburbia.

What would be more thoughtful is for the researchers to plan this better. I think calling the police was the right action in this case. Why do researchers get a free pass? If it were some pranksters publishing the exact same thing on youtube, would you still consider it unacceptable behaviour? No, what I find unacceptable is your hypocrisy in trying to shame the guy who did the right thing.
This is also the checklist for most of the traffic that's currently driving on US interstate highways.
> Slowing down and eventually driving off on to a grass shoulder wouldn't even crack the bottom 1% of crazy shit I've seen people do on highways, on purpose.

The article claims that the transmission was cut on a section of the freeway with no shoulder, so I'm curious how being stuck in the middle of the freeway translates to "slowing down and eventually driving off onto a grass shoulder." (And just because something "isn't the craziest thing I've seen" doesn't mean it isn't dangerous)

Yeah they did kind of just sneak up about a year ago it seems. I remember getting into the field two years ago I didn't hear about them. I suspect the tipping point was the full migration to front-end frameworks instead of just plain JS/jQuery.

It's a contrived example, certainly.

Your counterexample is informative. I hadn't thought of exceptions in this way. The downside of putting everything in a `try` block, of course, is that we'll potentially catch exceptions arising from a bug in our code which should crash our program.

A little more about Marriott's move:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/digger/wp/2015/03/01/marr...

> “I think it’s essential we be accessible to Metro and that limits the options. I think as with many other things our younger folks are more inclined to be Metro-accessible and more urban. That doesn’t necessarily mean we will move to downtown Washington, but we will move someplace.”

Sounds like the trick is to try and get a sweetheart incentive package by a town that is close to the Metro.

I relocated to HCMC 2 years ago from Hanoi. Many of my friends have also decided to move southward, especially those studied abroad. It's quite an obvious choice because HCMC economy is way more dynamic than Hanoi with lots of interesting jobs and higher pay. HCMC also has good food, lots of places to hang out, everything is generally cheap. Last but not least, the weather is much better than the capital.

I have a company with a few (local) friends. We build contents solution for web and mobile.
Their paper says 144 deaths, 1,391 injuries and 8,061 device malfunctions were recorded out of a total of more than 1.7 million robotic procedures carried out between January 2000 and December 2013.

These 144 deaths are out of 1.7 million robot procedures. I think this is better than humans.
How did they know they would only affect the one car they were targeting? What if another similar car also stalled out?

It was working fine, not from a techie/developer point of view, but from the 60 year old aunt with a cat that likes to play her slot machine program a few weeks before a trip to Las Vegas.

When that 60 year old aunt walks into Best Buy or Walmart to buy a new computer because something broke on the old one - everything will have changed and in her opinion none of it for the better. And she won't have any choices - sure there are likely Macs at Best Buy but she's not going to shell out $1300 for a new computer when she can get one for $500.

The entire point of the article is that technology (like airplanes) gets to a point of good enough and the opinion of the author is mainly to leverage what we have instead of the unreal future people are dreaming about (like the notions earlier in the article about people inhabiting Mars, etc.)

> exactly in the midst of the office parks described in this article. Everything about the environment of metro-DC suburban Maryland was absolutely repellent to me. Miles and miles of office parks, housing developments and strip malls, over and over and over.

What boggles my mind is that the people here have money and choose to live this way.
I think there is a bias at work here, but not the one you're describing. Some commenters might have felt more free to openly criticize these researchers' methods before the presence of the police was invoked. After that point, the wagons were circled and any such criticism became subtly entangled with implied support for coercion and violence by the state.

After all, the thought-terminating mantra on HN isn't "only talk to the police when the situation warrants," it's "never talk to the police."

Exactly, I see this as the same situation as shopping centers and big box retailers. The cost of renovation etc, is not low enough compared to the cost of building a new building in a better location for the current times.

On top of that, the DC metro area is becoming very public transit oriented. Most employers consider good access via public transit an important feature when looking for office space.

Being in an outside suburb based upon the current design of the metro transit system means that someone from northern VA will have to travel all the way into DC then transfer back out the Maryland which makes for a significantly longer commute as opposed to an office more centrally located along the metro lines.
> Their paper says 144 deaths, 1,391 injuries and 8,061 device malfunctions were recorded out of a total of more than 1.7 million robotic procedures carried out between January 2000 and December 2013.

So that's 0.00847% death rate, 0.082%
injury rate, and 0.47% device malfunction rate.

No, I'm not. We're specifically talking about the ~1000 people per year shot by police. You can't suddenly change the context of the discussion and tell me that my (apparently formerly) in-context comments are trying to paint some exaggerated, false picture of the entirety of citizen-police interactions. I'm very well aware that there are countless millions of citizen-police interactions every year that don't result in people getting shot. So? We weren't talking about them.

Let me put it this way: is it your position that in every single one of those thousand-odd cases, the person who was shot deserved it? If not, how many of them did?
Out of curiosity, how would the students actually go about making their grades private. Free github accounts don't actually get any private repo's, so aren't you effectively requiring a student who wants to maintain some secrecy to pay extra?
It does raise that question[0]. I wonder what the disparity is on a percentage basis, and what the criterion used to decide robotic vs. human are. If one entity has tougher, riskier surgeries it could skew the results.

DARPA researchers demonstrated this stuff on a "60 Minutes" segment a few months ago [1]. The main difference is that they were in a large empty parking lot so as to not unethically put non-participants in danger.

That work and earlier work (including that shown in the 2014 Black Hat presentation by the researchers in the present article) drew interest of the Senate [2]. Senator Markey's office produced a detailed report, and has called for the NHTSA and the FTC to develop standards to deal with these issues (and also the numerous privacy issues modern cars raise) [3].

I'd argue that the "faceless office building" portion isn't really an issue. They're nice enough on the inside, and when you're deep in work you probably don't notice too often.

The worst part is probably the typical lack of anything around those office parks except for...more office parks. At least if you're downtown or in some more commercial-heavy area, there are places to go and eat! :)
> Should we fine them for failing to maintain their vehicle to your standards?

You might want to review existing laws. See, e.g.:

Georgia: http://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-40/chapter-8/...

"O.C.G.A. 40-8-7 (2010)
40-8-7. Driving unsafe or improperly equipped vehicle; punishment for violations of chapter generally; vehicle inspection by law enforcement officer without warrant"

Ohio: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4513.02

"(A) No person shall drive or move, or cause or knowingly permit to be driven or moved, on any highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is in such unsafe condition as to endanger any person."

California: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=veh&gr...

"24002. (a) It is unlawful to operate any vehicle or combination of
vehicles which is in an unsafe condition, or which is not safely
loaded, and which presents an immediate safety hazard."

This research appears to have happened in Missouri, where it's harder to find the actual laws on the subject. That said, I did find this: https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/MV... which tends to imply that there are laws to this effect that I cannot easily locate via internet searches.
