Legally, you are required to do what you can to avoid accidents.

All of this.

To understand why this is even possible, it's good to understand the factors involved.

1. CC fees, carried balance interest, and merchant fees are extremely big business. So much so that banks and payment networks are willing to give out large bonuses to influence your buying behavior.

2. Airlines (and to a lesser extent, hotels and other brand partners) have evolved their miles and points programs into, IMO, basically an unregulated, overly complicated shadow currency. As a result of the complexity of the programs, valuation sweet spots have emerged where you get outsized value per point/mile

3. Since brand partners basically control the value of these currencies, they can sell them cheaply to financial partners. For financial partners, it's a win/win because they can offer a bonus that is perceived as high value without incurring the full cost of an equivalent cash offer. e.g. a 50k mile bonus looks just about as good as a $500 sign up bonus, but banks pay far less than $500 for 50k miles

4. A good majority of Americans will sign up for cards, use them, and regularly pay late fees, carry a balance, etc. This more than pays for the welcome bonus that card issuers offer. OTOH "travel hackers" sign up for the bonus, but use strategies to prevent incurring the costs usually associated with it.
Why Sleeping Makes You Successful
Hey limedaring, this post is great with lots of information. I bought your book in KS and you have all my admiration as an entrepreneur. Marketplaces are really hard to start for the egg-chicken problem, I know this first hand, and it's difficult to stay motivated as a founder.
All the researchers and the journalist had to do was to talk to the Highway Patrol and say, "We'd like to test this on a highway; what do we need to do to make that happen?"

That's it. Maybe the State Patrol would say, "Sorry, there's nothing you can do to test this here legally", or maybe they would have said, "Pay for overtime for 10 troopers and you can do it."

The point is, we don't know. We can speculate, but we don't know.

The 'researchers' and journalist elected instead to conduct this experiment on a state highway, in "real world" conditions, without any safety mechanisms in place. Not only is this unethical and dangerous, it is (and should be) illegal.

No one should stop these experiments from taking place; and the CFAA should be amended to allow security researchers to research issues; but the problem I have is the inherent danger in this experiment.

What would we be saying if the journalist had been killed, or a mother and her two kids because of this? Do you think public sentiment would support security researchers if this had turned out differently?

If anyone had gotten hurt, you'd be looking at legislation that strengthens penalties for security researchers; not at legislation that takes security research more seriously.

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.
Rare? Where? Where I live we get a very heavy snowfall in Winter, and even a regular trip to shops ends in me trying to get moving again by rocking the car back and forth to get out of snow. Unless automatic vehicles will drive only on clean, dry roads in pristine condition?

Actually, teleworking is definitely pushed as an option in the federal government. Not least of which through the "Telework Enhancement Act of 2010"

The current administration is big on it, partly for office space savings, partly to apologize for the paycut most government workers take over the private sector (I suspect, anyhow).

In practice, it looks a lot like hot desking, because you have to show up in the office once a week, and teleworkers usually end up sharing a desk amongst themselves. It allows workers in the DC area to live in affordable West Virginia :D or Fredricksburg or wherever and not kill themselves commuting

That's terrible. I would much rather swap in a spare than try to use some patch kit, then go back on the highway. From what I understand run-flat tires are also less than ideal. Isn't it true that they'll let you stop safely, but continuing driving with them will be problematic?

I live in the North Eastern US, so last fall I bought a second set of wheels for my car and installed some very nice snow tires on them. Now I carry a winter tire as the spare instead of the donut and a in the winter it's a summer tire. Long car trip + blown tire would mean I won't make it to my destination on the donut. Full size spare FTW.
I agree with you, but think monad is a poor place to start such a discourse. It's a "simple" concept once you've gotten some other ideas firmly cemented.

I also think there's the standard "simple/easy" dichotomy going on here. Monad is SO simple that it can be quite hard to grok in the same way that quantum physics is.

I fully agree with im3w1l's note about different things coming from different "monadifications" and find that completely consistent with what I've been saying. I'm not sure who uttered the other quote but it's as misleading as it is nonsensical. I think that's the risk with explaining this stuff partially anyway: simplicity isn't necessarily easy and there are lots of partial understandings of "monad" floating around.
Small compared to the risk of under-funding security research as a cost cutting measure knowing that weaken security will allow for these exploits to occur.

Poor girl. The stress from her family situation coupled with startup stress finally got to her.
In fact, winning can make it worse. When you're successful and depressed, the dissonance between your outward success and your inner self loathing/misery can be very painful. You think, all these great things are happening and I still can't be happy. I must really be a worthless, ungrateful piece of shit if I attain everything I ever dreamed of and that's still not enough for me. If this doesn't make me happy, that means I'll never be happy. bla bla bla depression talk.

Not that this is guaranteed, but I've experienced it and I would imagine others have too.
I understand why they did it this way, and I'm glad that this issue getting more publicity. But that does not mean that the means they chose are justified by the end of greater publicity. They simply did not have the right to endanger the other people on that road without their consent.

There's a lot to unpack here... But let me touch on a couple of the points you raise - from the perspective of a trained, but non-practicing therapist.

First of all, there are lots of terrible therapists out there. Especially of the 'religious counsellor' variety (I'm shuddering at the phrase). I had a similar negative experience with a school counsellor who had an academic degree in psychology (which involves zero client hours) and had self appointed herself as a therapist in the educational context.

So choosing the right therapist is key. Well trained therapists with good experience are not free. Someone is going to have to pay for what is an expensive and highly educated professional service (for example it can take up to a decade to become a clinical psychologist here in Ireland). That might be government, charity, or client payment - or it might be that some excellent therapists offer a portion of their time at a reduced rate; but it's extremely unlikely that you'll get good therapy for free.

To address your second point however, I have to emphasise that the goal of therapy is not to give advice. It's explicitly antithetical to most schools of psychotherapy / counselling. There are many reasons for this - the therapist is there to be the one person in your life who doesn't evaluate you, people respond negatively to advice (with 'reactance') even when they desire it, advice isn't necessarily generalisable. But overall, if you're looking for advice you need to talk to a domain expert - e.g.: someone whose doing the job you'd like. If you're going through emotional difficulties, counter-intuitively the last thing that will help is concrete advice.

What the research shows is effective are things like the relationship between therapist and client, trust, tailored interventions (e.g.: CBT for PTSD or OCD) etc.

If you're ever interested in resuming therapy, I'd recommend reading more into how the different kinds of therapy differ. It sounds like some form of CBT might be useful for you - but above all the important thing is to work with a professional whose a good personal match for you. Picking a therapist is selecting someone with whom you'll be forming an intimate relationship, and compatibility is vital. So I'd encourage shopping around.

I see this but there was another sentence you left out of your quote that I was leading to. I'm not criticizing the research - I'm positive I bring no new line of questioning. What I do want more information on is what happens if your self control leads you to diet and exercise (which plenty of study shows improves cellular aging)?

Wouldn't this also hold true for airline pilots? How quickly can they resume control of a plane when something goes amiss?

Car companies, possibly more than anyone else in the world, are the home to people who understand how mechanical failure affects lives.

The car companies' failure to patch defects ought to have them facing severe fines. In fact, I would support a bounty system of millions of dollars for researchers who can demonstrate 1) finding a flaw, 2) telling the company, and 3) the company not fixing it in X months. All this finances by fines on the car companies.

The above facts doesn't mean that what these guys did was okay.
Too late to edit my original comment again so I'll post a reply here as a general reply to those who reacted negatively to my decision to phone the police.

While I strongly support free speech and believe security researchers should be given some extra latitude when appropriate, what I saw was not at all appropriate. I saw two well respected security researchers sitting in a room like Beavis and Butthead laughing and remotely disabling a vehicle on a multi-lane interstate highway, like it was a big joke. The reporter in the Jeep literally says "This is dangerous" and asks urgently for help. This all filmed and posted to Wired for the world to see, like they are proud of it.

Before working with computers I drove tractor-trailers for a while and was lucky to achieve a million-mile safe driving award. I have a pretty good idea of the dangers here and I know that stretch of road well, I've crossed it many times. I know from experience that a car stopped in the middle of a multi-lane interstate is one of the most dangerous situations you can be in. I've had people hit me who didn't see my huge trailer with flashers on and warning triangles out on a sunny day - it happens quite often. I've seen dozens of people killed in situations exactly like this. You see it coming and a random driver just plows into the stopped vehicle.

I exercised my judgement and decided to phone the local Highway Patrol office. I've read the negative comments and I disagree, I still think it was the correct thing to do. If you are a researcher and you do something this dangerous, and are foolish enough to then post it on a high-traffic site like Wired, I think you forfeit any right to a discreet warning and you deserve to have the police show up demanding answers to some tough questions.

XP was working fine, and the fact that eventually became full of malware was because of the future-focused Microsoft wanting to make "later and greater", ripping down something and "trying again", instead of improving something that, for at least 80% of usage cases, was not infected, was already making money for business, and helping people with their lives.
the crazy Wall Street valuations of technically indebted companies like Facebook

But didn't Facebook transition out of that mode of heavy technical debt? And was it so bad to begin with, e.g. the classic story here is of the competition with Friendster, where the latter decisively lost because the board was off in the clouds thinking deals and was simply not interested in the fact that logging in and doing basic things kept taking longer and longer, eventually minutes as I recall.

My girlfriend worked for a 'beltway bandit' in Rockville Maryland for a while after college, 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.

I couldn't stand the idea of having a daily routine of sitting in 8 lanes of traffic, finding a spot in a sea of parked cars and spending the day in a faceless office building, surrounded by other faceless office buildings yet entirely isolated in a corporate campus. I definitely see the appeal of suburbs for certain lifestyles, but I think that a suburban home with a commute into an urban office would be very preferable to working in an office park.

The only redeeming feature of my girlfriend's office park workplace was that she, as a very junior employee, had a private office to herself. I've dealt with the frustration of a number of loud open offices at NYC tech companies, but I'd never give up a downtown office space explicitly for a private space in a giant soulless office building in the suburbs.
As a founder who struggles with severe depression, one of the few bits of advice that I remember when personally in a dark place is from a physician that had met with thousands of suicidal patients. He said:

"I've never had a patient who survived (suicidal thinking) and later wished that they had killed themselves."

Sorry I couldn't find the quote and may be paraphrasing a bit, I share this because this personal mantra has kept me from the ledge when my thoughts were otherwise debilitating.
Paper and pencil as an adjunct? Games exist in analog too. Maybe a Hoyle card game book, read it together, mark it up, come up with your own rules. All of this not an end unto its self, but a stepping stone to computer games. Maybe thinking of it as an ABC's of "games".
Lots of users don't seek medical treatment because they're afraid they'll be arrested.

I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's true... I found and called in the heroin overdose of two of my friends, and not only were the paramedics very leisurely in their response (walking slowly up the stairs to get to the bedroom where my friends were unconscious), but the cops threatened to charge me with selling the heroin to my friends. I believe they were bluffing in an attempt to get me to snitch on the person who really did sell it to them, but it's apparently not unprecedented for overdose victims to be charged with possession and the people who called it in to be charged with distribution.

Thinking about that night still makes me angry. It's one of maybe three really terrible experiences I've had with police in the US. My friends both lived, though one had his heart stop completely for 1.5 minutes and had to be revived via a Naloxone shot to the chest.

Ask HN: Are there still mailing list providers?
Searching for "mailing list" gets millions of hits. For advertising "mailing lists", not the discussion kind.

I have found very few providers so far, but they are either prohibitively expensive for some small list with no real potential to get huge numbers of subscribers, bundled with web hosting offers and very crippled (Majordomo, mail based administration only and list name cannot be chosen freely), or very much politically affiliated.

I'd set up my own list server on DigitalOcean, but it seems to be overkill and I fear the hassle to make big providers accept mails from this server.

Do you have a suggestion for a provider? Can Mailchimp be "abused" to look like a discussion list?
