The argument is that the desire to establish a monopoly stimulates innovation, not necessarily that monopolists are innovative once established.

There's also a big difference between natural monopolies (like electricity or gas distribution networks) and IP monopolies. Monopolies that are established by providing a vastly superior product require continuous R&D investment to maintain and natural monopolies do not.
It doesn't even have to be at the top. I just used names that are recognizable. We could be talking about high-school track & field and the point would still stand.

In any case, what I am trying to say is that you seem too quick to pin the lack of performance in the "common workplace" on the individual, when there are so many other parts on the system that can and should be analyzed. What the others and I are saying is "no, we can't say that poor performance 'will very possible transfer to the other position". Especially if you have access to the people that worked with them and can have a deeper look at the context, it makes no sense to be looking at past performance to judge potential.
The supply chain for their current rocket designs is a big problem. Many of the parts are outsourced to suppliers with very high overheads and margins, so they're already locked into a very high cost structure outside their own org. The only effective way to fix that will be to move to new designs with more efficient sourcing and cost structures and that will take time.

The other issue is capacity. Even if ULA dramatically cut their costs to drive SpaceX out of business, that will stimulate a huge surge in demand for launches. To drive anyone out of business, ULA would have to meet all of that demand on their own. I don't believe that's possible for them, they just don't have the capability to ramp up capacity fast enough, so SpaceX and other operators would pick up the excess business anyway.

This isn't just about the academia. As soon as you want to write about any technical subject, even if it's only for your own personal use, you need to study the relevant literature. Often this means reading dozens of papers. There's no way a normal person who isn't working at a university or research institution can afford that.
> What stops me from attacking that network by mining on my private chain with a double spend?

Nothing stops you mining on a private chain, but since you have a small minority of the compute power, the network doesn't care about your private chain. The same is true in Bitcoin.

> If you were trying to bootstrap a new journal, you'd have a tough time; unless you didn't care about its quality.

You could (should?) start by going through freely published (open access) papers, collecting the most quality ones, then publishing them in your journal. That's most of the value of journals, as well - informing the subscribers of noteworthy research.
I think OPs point is that commercial vendors will now stop providing the source code, which deprecates the overall quality (I don't like working with code I don't have the source code to. Once you find a bug, this all blows up on you).

It think it is a big win that proprietary software needs to ship source code with them in order to sell the library. Just because there is source code doesn't mean, it is open source or free software. It can still have the same licenses (not share the source/bin, etc) but source code that is visible (even proprietary) is better then a binary.

After all, not all libraries are OS and those that aren't would suffer from that change (although marketing guys would probably argue differently).
You decide on the one or two areas where you have a shot of actually competing, and then you shed as much weight as possible outside those areas.

It's like when IBM sold their consumer PC and laptop business to Lenovo. The analysis was that the consumer business was essentially commoditised and IBMs core value proposition is in high-value-added servers and services -- the laptops were a distraction.

(In reality, IBMs core value proposition is being IBM, so they could probably have carried on selling ridiculously marked up ThinkPads to the enterprise and government market)

I do not see nothing inherently bad with this (provided very good moderation tools are in place). However...

* > I would argue it works just as well a this journal reputation system *

As a journal reputation system, possibly; although I find that experts have often very different taste compared to say general Hacker News public -- for instance, machine learning has a very high "coolness factor" these days compared to other areas of computer science, but it would be unwise to make a system where a weaker paper on machine learning gets vastly more credit than a better paper on say approximation algorithms.

However, an important part of the journal submission process is the fact that the editors ask the members of the academic community for spending several days on the paper, noting major and minor details and checking the validity of the proof.

Since the reviewers do their work for free, there is no reason why there cannot be an open system that replicates the same process; still, just "adding a comment system to arXiv" will probably not be enough, as people spend rarely that much time on comments (15 minutes tops, not entire days).
Ah CP, the modern day witch hunt and where all the reason falls through.
I have found bugs in almost every major library I have worked with in my professional career. Being able to fix an issue myself and submit a PR is invaluable and honestly often the difference between shipping on time vs the library authors time. The industry as a whole should demand source even if it has to come with an NDA.

I use Toodledo [1] for this, especially for the recurring tasks. There are even different ways to define how it recurs, eg taking out the trash might be every Wednesday, but watering plants might be "2 days after I last completed it".

You have a wicked cool job! Possibly your role is insight generation for the wider business. Beyond just quality control, engineers on your team or far-flung teams may have an epiphany looking at one of your images that leads to the next breakthrough in design or manufacture.

It's a very abstract sort of "atta-boy" we need to be giving ourselves here. And companies need to do a better job of tracing success stories back up the chain and celebrate individuals for their specific contributions to the "big wins" when they occur to humanize the whole endeavor.

Exactly. Here in the UK you would have to be very careful not to find yourself in an Industrial Tribunal.

That said, I personally think anyone should be able to be bought out of a contract with, say, 3-6 months pay.
But how do I do that? I can interpret a paper and apply it to my problems, but I'm not qualified to tell if it's a good paper[1]. In my field -- computing -- research papers are often written in a language that only just makes sense to me. I'm sure it'd be easier if I was a computer scientist that regularly published, but that's why I suggest you'd need a team of actual scientists who are used to reading, writing, and reviewing papers.

As Kernighan almost wrote:

Reviewing the paper is twice as hard as reading the paper in the first place. Therefore, if you have to be as clever as possible to read the paper, you are, by definition, not smart enough to review it.

[1] Although I can tell whether the code works, the quality of a paper is also about how well-written it is, whether the arguments are valid and supported by the data, and whether it provides something future research can be built on. A terrible paper that happens to contain code that works is useful for me, not so much for science in general.
"Archive" drives are not meant for day to day use - that's why they are called "Archive" (as in, write-mostly-once-read-occasionally). They use SMR layout, which is just as fast for writing, but much slower for rewriting.

That said, if it is returning corrupted data, you should check the memory chips in your computer (If you can do a non-UEFI boot, an Ubuntu live disk has a memory test utility you can use).

Even if the on-disk data is corrupted, the drive should detect that and return an error and no data, rather than corrupted data.
Any Ally Mcbeal fans here who can advise us on American law?
The system is broken.
Rich universities are ready to pay money, so publishers can raise price, basically making papers unavailable for poor universities who can't handle subscriptions or individuals.

At the same time publishers hardly spend any money - most of people access publications online, not printed, and tons of journals don't have minimal review. So publisher does nothing and wants much money for that.

Scientist at the same time are stuck - if you want people to read your paper, you need good journal or conference, else you might be not heard. Leave alone prestige and fame.

So, something has to be done. Maybe Sci-Hub is that something.

In fact it’s exactly a matter of anticipating.

In most cases the SME is not prepared to deal with such issues (it lacks a structured IT department): this is why we try to play an active role in raising its awareness about security concerns. We explain which kinds of risks can arise with easily understandable examples (sometimes they are already known, most often they are not), trying to do it in plain business language: how an IoT platform can be fooled by fake devices, how it is possible to exploit vulnerabilities to gain fraudulent control of devices and the subsequent business consequences.

Then we move to explain the solutions we apply to this issues (always trying to do it as if we were speaking to a child). Four of them involves what you already mentioned:

- Good practices are applied by design (like generating strong random passwords for each device); despite being trivial these are far from representing a de-facto standard in a market where these issues have been neglected for a long time

- all vulnerable communication paths are encrypted

- integrity checks are performed by both sides to ensure that over the air updates are genuine

- over the air updates themselves allow you to patch the device (with security fixes, etc) while it is deployed on the field (which is relevant in a rapid prototyping scenario)

One last word on how SMEs could trust Iottly.

Proprietary enterprise software (both on-premise and SaaS) need to be submitted to security assessments performed by third party authorities. Ok, this is important and we do have plans for that in the future.

But, in addition to this, it turns out that a wide spreading of the same code base increases security, by enabling cross testing processes, performed by multiple independent parties in different application contexts.

And this is one of the main reasons why we open sourced Iottly.

It’s not that the SME itself can check the source code for security issues, but it very likely has IT consultants it trusts for everyday IT tasks, and these people can indeed perform an independent check if the source code is available.

Only if you go beyond general relativity.

Once you include quantum physics there are some strong indications that black holes must somehow evaporate (although this hasn't been observed directly), but that model is still incomplete.
All things have a constant speed in spacetime: the speed of light. If you stand completely still, you travel through time at "the speed of light". If you start moving faster in space, you'll lose a similar amount of speed in time. Go fast enough, and your life will pass in slow-motion. Go at the speed of light and your time stops. Go faster than the speed of light, and your time will start going backwards.

Since you can't get out of a black hole normally, the only way to get out is by reversing time. I.e., going faster than light might be an option to get out of a black hole.

Of course, doing so is nonsense, but the maths work out.

A rating system would generally become an indicator of other academics' level of agreement with a paper, rather than an indication that it passed a quality and significance threshold. Citation ranking schemes already exist, but the citation counts are heavily influenced by academics being unable to NOT mention a dissenting view because it was recently published in a prominent journal. And I'm not sure examples like Amazon book ratings, HN karma or professionally-optimized PageRank can really be claimed with a straight face to be superior for curating quality content than good old fashioned peer review.

I do think open commenting systems would be a boon to academic discourse though.
Here's an idea I've seen before that makes sense to me:

You have property tax; You have (so called) intellectual property. Why don't you have "intellectual property tax"?

Similar to e.g. how property tax works in the US, you would pay something like 1% of the value of your "property" in taxes each year -- and when you sue, you can only sue for how much of that "value" was taken away from you (with perhaps treble damages or something). Then, all of a sudden, it's not enough to claim that your copyrights are worth $18B to sue Google for $9B - you have to have actually paid $180M/year or so in taxes in the last few years to make that claim.

Devil is in the details, of course, but if "intellectual property" is property, it should be taxed like one.

> Another is that they would need that much energy.

Even if they needed that much energy, the best way to do that [that we know of] is to build a Dyson sphere. With every star shrouded by a Dyson sphere you no longer need to shroud the galaxy.

A more critical assumption is that a type III civilization even cares about masking its presence. If they were even worried about being attacked, the speed of light would mask their progress for a great deal of time and, because of the distances involved, even seeing them once the light reaches you would be a massive accomplishment - most likely you'd have to search for individual stars in another galaxy which are disappearing in unusual ways.

A type II civilization could possibly build a telescope with a large enough aperture but I assume that type II civilizations would be long past their ignorant warring ways.
