Governments who do not allow the proper, open operation of the internet, should be banned from using it. Like it or not the Internet was created by Americans, it was nurtured with American ideals of freedom, and countries who refuse to allow those standards should be barred from participating. I think this would have a positive effect in the long run, the way economic sanctions sometimes work.

A few years ago I'd never have proposed this.. but the willingness of second and third world governments to abuse the internet for their obviously crooked purposes has reached a fever pitch in recent months.

slightly unrelated, but interesting, those same countries produce most of the world's spam and viruses.

edit: I wonder if it'd be feasible to ban corrupt governments from the internet while allowing citizens access.

I gather its things like misaligned incentives. Like funding sources dictating the "desirable" result, reluctance to publish negative results, pursue of (vanity) metrics that leads to quota system by universities, etc.
I don't think reproducibility should necessarily mean literally repeating the same study over again.

Whether or not a paper is fully correct is less important that the further work it stimulates or informs-- either via more papers (impact factor) or via APPLICATIONS of the research.

In the example you're giving, to get accepted, the author doesn't need to do much more than extend the research in some small way, compare it to other research, or explore some aspect more fully. If someone is going to take the time to repeat something, they might as well go a little further.

If someone takes the time to apply research results they're going to, in a way, test the validity of the results. Maybe the author's experiences in the pharma world is very different, but I doubt that.

Obscure 2016 Presidential Candidates
Anecdotal but London seems to have a reasonably 'smart' traffic light system. It's something you only really notice when you're looking out for it (sign of a good system?), but as a pedestrian it's very often that pedestrian crossing phases match extended gaps in traffic flow. On roads with a good sightline, I often notice a gap in the flow ~30 seconds away that the lights will change in sync with.

The system is called SCOOT if you are interested.
I'd argue in terms of the PC battle, despite how good a Mac is (I'm writing this on one) I'd say they've still firmly lost in this market.

"Measured as sales through the U.S. consumer retail channel, Macs reached rather shocking milestone during first half 2015, according to data that NPD provided to me today. Yes, you can consider this a first, and from lower volume shipments. By operating system: OS X, 49.7 percent; Windows, 48.3 percent; Chrome OS, 1.9 percent. That compares to the same time period in 2014: OS X, 44.8 percent; Windows, 53.1 percent; Chrome OS, 2.1 percent. So there is no confusion, the data is for U.S. consumer laptops."

[This question is purely informational and doesn't directly relate to golang, but I want to ask someone who has been involved in domain-specific package management.]

Why is the protocol side of package management not a solved problem already?

At least Go reuses the git protocol to its advantage. But the general problem of package management applies to a lot of things.

"There is a package with a name and a description. That package has versions, which can be greater/lesser than others. Those versions may have deltas from one-another. They contain one or more files. Those files must have their integrity checked. etc, etc..." -> Why does every single language reimplement that?

Nevermind languages actually. Why does everyone reimplement that? Firefox/Chrome extensions, Android/ios app stores, a bazillion different game addons and app-specific stores...

We have a mostly-identical problem being solved a million different ways. pypi, npmjs, glide, they should be running the same server software. It'd be a first step towards standardization and avoid a bunch of mistakes repeated every time a new solution comes out.

Is anyone even trying to do something about this? (and before anyone says "do it yourself", a package management protocol is something I used to work on, not anymore. It keeps getting worse - it's not just a technical problem, also a political one.)
Over a couple of millennia? All you will do is end up selecting for fitness among the existing gene pool. No new genes will be created. Evolution is a slow process, and it will take far longer than a few millennia for new, innovative genes to emerge that provide resistance to radiation.
The iPhone went without keyboard and put all real estate towards the touch screen. That was a big change back then.

Right. That's why you want to use low atomic weight shielding like paraffin or water when you're worried about charged particle radiation.
For me, simplicity beats completeness any day of the week.

With swarm it takes 3 commands to create a swarm of 2 nodes and raise a simple replicated service(not considering installing swarm and ssh'ing into the nodes).

Now lets talk about kubernetes:

With kubernetes I need to edit several configuration files and run 4 commands to start the master, edit more configuration files in each minion run 4 more commands, btw all that without ingress(which swarm has it built in by default, though I hear that it's also coming for kubernetes).

When all that is done I'm finally able to start writing my pods and services(with swarm pods=services so it's less flexible, but easier to wrap your head around).

Writing pods is a challenge on it's own the API changed like there was no tomorrow in the past(maybe that will improve in the future) so most configurations you find on the internet are out of date and will simply not run, nearly every field requires a name tag for no obvious reason, exposing services to the rest of your network seems to require a phd in distributed network systems.

The documentation is often inconsistent with the current version. The customer/community support is non-existent or abrasive. Actually I think this tweet by Kesley Hightower underlines pretty accurately the team attitude towards criticism on the state of the software: https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/73551103792803840...

Finally I must say that all those problems that I have encountered were with creating a kubernetes cluster in our company infrastructure, I have not encountered most of those problems using gcloud. If you use google's infrastructure kubernetes is just harder than swarm, not unbearably obnoxious. Sadly we don't have the option to rent a cloud service for our company.

To sum it up, I think it's great that docker is becoming a competitor to kubernetes their attitude towards quality always impressed me and thus far I'm sold on it, but the best outcome of this is that having docker in the cluster managers competition may help raise the bar for every system.
I kind of feel like we don't fully understand gravity which may be causing these problems. The space suits are pretty robust. Are we now saying that the space suits we send our astronauts in are not up to mark and cannot protect them from space radiation?

Good to see businesses advertising this too.

It's already against the law for a business to punish you for writing a negative review. Many people do not know they can sue when a business tries this. That's what the Consumer Review Fairness Act is about - letting the public know their rights. It's basically the government trying to teach people the law. And Yelp would be helping by promoting this.

Good job Yelp.
I wouldn't be surprised if Yelp added a feature where businesses that sue their customers can pay a fee to remove the mark.
Wow, they really need to advertise that more. I was avoiding them like the plague.

It's so bizarre that it won't get followed up. I spend a lot of time digging in pubmed and when I find stuff like this, nobody cares. It's too cheap of a solution and not patentable. It will be forgotten because 95% of people will scoff at the result. It's simply too miraculous to be believed.
Only partially. The name 'Alphabet' in itself is a pun on 'Alpha' (in finance terms) and 'bet'.
I don't think there's that implication at all. I think what's happening is that this component of patriarchy isn't really a rallying point for many people. That is, there are a lot of people who are vocally upset about other components of patriarchy in which men actually are the primary antagonists, e.g. rape culture. That does not, however, imply that man are the antagonists, nor that women are the victims of every component of patriarchy.

I think more people should be pissed off about this component, too. A man shouldn't feel obligated to be masculine, nor a provider, nor a protector, nor anything he doesn't want to be. Truthfully, more of HN should empathize with this as well. I would be surprised if a very large portion of us didn't grow up being called a variety of epithets for being less athletic, more booky, less masculine and therefore less valuable than the general population.

Ironically enough, it's exactly this component of patriarchy that leads to the aggressive anti-feminist views seen all over this board.

You can call it matriarchy if you want, I don't really care, except that a) no one will know what you're talking about and b) we don't live in a matriarchal society so it doesn't make sense.

I believe Android was (technically at least) a moonshot

Page writes: “Having exceeded even the crazy ambitious goals we dreamed of for Android—and with a really strong leadership team in place—Andy’s decided it’s time to hand over the reins and start a new chapter at Google. Andy, more moonshots please!” [1]

The "more moonshots" implies that Android was itself a moonshot. Whether it was declared one at the time Android Inc was purchased I don't know!

As for financial success, in a recent lawsuit with Oracle it was disclosed Android had a profit of $22 billion [2] if I'm reading into it right (admittedly very quick research, not at all reliable!)

Uh, no it doesn't.

Patriarchal societies are ones where elder males are the heads of households (generally true) and descent (such as surnames) are passed through the males (generally true).

There are matriarchal societies – including many Native American ones. Those are called matriarchal societies. They're notably different from what we have. I think they're less common today than they ever have been, but patriarchal societies are also "less patriarchal," i.e. males don't own females, as you stated.

Feminists, and everyone with an education, use that term because we do live in a patriarchal society.

Edit: In response to your comment below, you're literally in the comment section of an article discussing the repercussions of men "failing" in their expected social role of head of household.
In the world of chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology a huge step forward would be for journals to require a complete list of products used. The publication should also include the certification of analysis for each item as they vary over time.

For example, here are two product specifications for a dye called Sirius Red, the first by Sigma-Aldrich[1] and the second by Chem-Impex[2]. The Sigma-Aldrich product contains 25% dye while the Chem-Impex contains equal or greater than 21%. These two dyes could be quickly assessed with a spectrophotometer in order to determine an equivalency, however you need both dyes on hand which doesn't seems like a good use of funding. Also this touches on another problem in replication which is, what is in the other 75%+ of the bottle?

I agree with the above statement. In the startup world, one person is doing at least 5 people's job. In my startup, I acted as COO, CTO, product manager, contract manager, team lead and more. If someone arrives 5 mins late to a meeting he/she is technically wasted 5 people's time. So that 5 mins wasted gets translated into 25 mins. This is why it is important to have delegation of authority and boundaries. I am now mentoring a startup of 7 students, its been 4 weeks since they came to a conclusion on their marketing campaign.

Committee gives you a perspective from different people. Which is valuable! Have the meetings if and only if you or them have to go outside the delegated authority to find a solution.

I agree with where you're going. If you're not familiar with the DoD/Govt Lab TRL Model [1], that is how I mental model this type of "Other Bets" and similar group work.

Catapulting a TRL1-3 concept to product is certainly a moonshot, _but_ they cant afford to take a long comfortable stance to incubate all ideas over an indefinite period of time. The beauty of trying to fund/productize TRL1-3 Moonshots is so many great bits and nuggets fall out of it during the course of maturation that you get to reiterate on.

In my view you are right that they are thinking long term, that they have a positive P/E and still are funding Moonshots along with the safer higher TRL items is encouraging for their investors, that's good long term planning.

And it's been undermined by Americans, and been corrupted into a platform for American surveillance and cultural propaganda, thanks to the NSA and CIA.

The thing is, Putin sounds like a raving loon for saying things like "the internet is a CIA project," but he's not entirely wrong.

This is a good question. I have a few thoughts.

First, different languages have subtleties that can make a different in package management. For example, the way nested dependencies can work in JavaScript, Go, and PHP are all different. Or, the way you can scan a codebase to determine things is difference.

It would be great if different languages had virtually the same interface. That way metadata and interaction could be about the same. Like diving a car from different manufacturers. In many ways the different package managers are similar enough for programming languages were sorta there (but not all that well).

Second, there is the cultural problem. Many languages are designed on islands from others. Reinventing things, trying different things, and wanting to be their own special flower. Sometimes this is good because a new language is not like the others and that can be a good thing. Other times you reinvent a fairly common wheel.

I'm not aware of anyone solving this in a common way.
Sure, but that's my point. I think a lot of men on here have probably felt this effect. If it's not from "the patriarchy," or something similar by a different name, then what is it from?

You don't have to think that, say, women's fashion changes faster than men's fashion because "the patriarchy!", but it takes some serious aloofness not to see that male dominance in society trickles down to some very strange places indeed. As an example: that a man's employment status is the largest factor in his marital success.
That's your projection of the events. I'm confident if you looked in the Samba mailing lists you could get a more definitive view of why Apple did what they did.
If you came up with AI algorithms that gave you a massive edge on financial markets, presumably you would also be intelligent enough to execute the strategies discreetly, through highly distributed trading entities, just below levels that raise eyebrows, so as not to be found out.

Similar problem to bot detection on online poker networks, except much harder on real financial markets, and probably not something you can regulate.

We don't need to 'define repetition', we need to foster a culture that a) accepts repetition and b) does not accept something for a fact just because it's in a journal. Right now, (a) is not even acceptable; nobody will publish a replication study. Ofc, LHC is impossible to replicate, but the vast majority of life science studies are.

I should think this is mostly needed in life sciences. Other, more 'exact' sciences seem to not have this problem.
