I'm beginning to suspect the DNS redirection used for the Amtrak WiFi splash page confuses discoveryd.
I've been super disappointed with Yosemite's networking. It takes forever to connect to an access point, and Instant Hotspot works maybe 30% of the time between my rMBP and iPhone 6+.

As soon as I disabled Boom 2 Remote, which was enabled by default, the problem went away. They acknowledged it in an email to customers:

After I got Outlook to work again it would only crash 3-5 times a day (logs for one of the days: http://fluffyelephant.com/2015/02/outlook-for-mac-v15-6-is-u... ). It was like that for a few months, now it only crashes a couple of times a week.
And I'm the lucky one. My boss had his Outlook crash on launch after 3 months of using it. Microsoft couldn't even get the data out (calendar, contacts, sent messages) and he had to go back to the old Outlook and Microsoft even messed that up so bad that he could only use the calendar in day mode (not week of month) for a few weeks.
So my suggestions. Apple has started to make shoddy software as of late, they still have a long way down though until they reach the Microsoft level. Even if they hired the shittiest developers for 5 years, I would still choose Apple over Microsoft.
