Federallythis is the role played by the Office of the Inspector General, though they play more of an "inspect and raise awareness" role rather than the typical "pulling of the Andon" quality assurance role.

I do think government may be benefited by an adversarial Quality Management process, but it shouldn't be reliant purely on inspection after the fact. It should have an involvement st all levels of the business of doing what government does if the maximum payoff via Quality management is to be achieved.
Disclosure: I don't have any published papers to speak of, though I have some patents. But I write similar things -- technical reports -- within my day job.

I think the scientific paper or report has always been fictionalized to some extent. The earliest scientists may have been more overt about it. It's doubtful that a bunch of soldiers ever tried to burn an enemy ship with mirrors, but that's how Archimedes reported his idea. As I understand it, it's also doubtful what experiments Galileo actually performed on falling bodies before reporting his results.

It seems to me that in a typical paper, one should strive to make the work reproducible, to present the ideas in a form where errors shine out if they are present, and generally to be useful to others.

Using the scientific paper to reveal how science is actually done isn't necessarily a good use of paper or readers' eyeballs. We're bad enough writers as it is, and trying to express a "narrative" in every paper may turn the literature into an unreadable and possibly irreproducible mess. There may be better ways of learning the "narrative" of scientific research, namely by just getting in there and doing it, or at least hanging out with scientists for a while.
I once read a lovely observation from an American who came to live in Germany and was surprised to be called out for being so loud all the time.

Then she learned about the "1 meter voice" that her kids get thought in school. Once she got the concept she too was able to speak in a "decent voice".

Load voices are partly culture, partly self awareness.

Yep, and it's not just quantity over quality with them, but also legal over quality... Business-wise a sound strategy, but morally bankrupt and technically offensive.

This is all Oracle’s doing. AWS was originally awarded this contract but Safra Catz (co-CEO Oracle) is on Trump advisory committee. She planted the seeds that Bezos can’t be trusted due to his ownership of Washington Post and what that publication has been saying about Trump.

Fully expect Oracle to make a huge run at this business. And don’t forget, Oracle was started as a company from an initial contract with the CIA. There’s not a single tech company more aligned with the US government than Oracle.

Honestly though: why bother? If you're really set on opening a second account, email validations won't stop you. If I as a service provider want to stop you, I'd check your address, credit card number, vat Id, etc.

If you're unsure whether you've already registered an account, I could understand the frustration of finding your "proper" dot configuration, but as a developer I'd figure that to be your problem.

> Do we want to speed up war?

If you think there's any possibility that your country might have to fight any kind of war, including a war of defensive national survival, then you better hope they're able to do it quickly when it happens.
> US military dominance shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Should it be taken as positive on the whole, though? Dominance is a reality that we live with, and one that the US certainly benefits in some ways from. However, there are another 7b (or so) people on the planet who suffer the consequences of our military dominion (their backyards), national interests (their natural resources), etc...

> Technology tends to be one of the factors that reshape geopolitical spheres.

there's a bias on HN towards blaming "the tech" for all "the things"... how about: social unrest, resource extraction, and empire building? these are much less tech-centric, yet real and studied causes for geopolitical reshapement.

My theory is that the US is a much less formal society and eating the European way is hard and requires training and correction by parents. If the goal is to just get food in your mouth with a fork and knife you end up eating much closer to the American way. It's worth noting that my wife who grew up in a very formal household in NYC eats the European way.

Sonic Pi is pretty cool. I really liked Overtone because I like LISPs, so I have chosen Extempore to do my electronic composing [1].

uBlock Origin will continue being uBlock Origin, there's no real issue from that standpoint, no one should have been using uBlock anyway.
Part of the problem, I think, is these days there are more people who want to write than there are people who want to read. So it's an endless battle to draw attention to your own writings. "Look at me! Look over here!" Unless you have some sort of "hook", your paper will never be read outside of a very small circle. Because everyone's too busy writing their own papers to look at yours. In some sense, it reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel. The harder we try to mass produce science, the harder it is for scientists to make their voices heard above the noise.
Correct, uBlock is separate from uBlock Origin.
Intrusive anti-virus products imposed by people that don't know better than to click on dodgy porn sites and download and run untrusted binaries is a great way to waste tens of thousands of dollars of developer productivity.

> Which we have decided as a society is worth it. Everyone should be able to communicate, and it helps those people be more productive too, helping everyone.

Except we haven't. One of the consequences of imposing these sorts of obligations through hidden cross subsidies is that it obscures the cost of these outcomes. Would the public be willing to pay through taxes the $X million it would cost to serve those uneconomic households? Probably not. But when a regulator forces them to pay that amount indirectly, they're not in a position to evaluate whether it is "worth it." (Which is why unelected bureaucrats love these "free lunch" measures--it allows them to tax the public indirectly for things the public would not willingly pay for directly.)

> On the other hand, having less competition for something with huge last-mile costs can save money overall. The tricky part is keeping the downsides of low competition in check, by forcing more responsibility on the company as it gets more power.

This is exactly the New Deal-era thinking that has been resoundingly debunked. Regulators applied this kind of thinking to everything from railroads to airlines. But deregulation of those things has yielded enormous real gains. (And not just in the U.S., in many respects western Europe and Japan have been more aggressive in deregulation than the U.S., and have seen concomitant benefits.)

> If the merger let them go from negative profits to $10B, then the consumer impact already happened.

TWC and Charter did not previously compete, so it's unlikely that the swing is due to increased pricing power. Rather, it's more likely due to (1) the fact that TWC was already profitable; and (2) reduced expenses through the elimination of internal redundancy.

When was the last time the US fought a defensive war? I think we can argue that WWII, was ultimately a matter of national survival at some remove, but it certainly wasn’t defensive. I think it would have to be 1916 when Pancho Villa attacked New Mexico, and that wasn’t exactly unprovoked either.

From Ublock Origin's github(https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock): uBlock Origin is (and has always been) COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the web site ublock.org.

Prior to my career as a software engineer, I attended RubyConf (2015, San Antonio) and watched a presentation about making music with Sonic Pi. That night, I made this rendition of "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger: https://gist.github.com/thisismitch/be9287c80903cad151fe

It took me way longer than I'd like to admit! Enjoy!

That's a very interesting point and was hoping HN'ers would add to my understanding, so thank you. I would be very interested to know how it works, for example, in Rome where "you cant miss a historical artifact if you throw a stone" applies with great force.
Confirmed. I non longer use uBlock Origin.
Well, isn't that moot since UBlock (not origin) will probably now be called AdBlock?
I don’t think you need to be looking into another career.

You have said that you know the nuances of Go, and with that you probably have touched the outside world like databases, caching, HTTP, TLS. And I think this is much more worthy to grasp the overall concepts from end to end and knowing how to integrate your parts you have done in Go into the rest of the infrastructure.

Of course it is always good to dabble around in other languages and reuse insights across different languages, but having a good understanding across the infrastructure stack is in my opinion more helpful.
I bet if you looked at all the possible universes following World War 2, the Marshall Plan and ensuing US hegemony sorts fairly high even when accounting for the entire world.
> You might argue that defense lawyers have disincentives to adopt technology that would reduce billable hours, but what about the other side of the v.?

The US has a vast oversupply of lawyers (sure, star litigators make lots of money because they are in short supply, but they aren't the people whose labor legal technology aims to replace), which makes the value of reducing legal gruntwork low, plus to replace legal grunts using WestLaw or similar tools, you've got to either build on top of one the handful of such tools or duplicate it's corpus of annotated data and the massive infrastructure dedicated to keeping it current before you even get to the novel part of your tool, or you won't have anything usable.

So, it's a super high barrier to entry for a market where you are competing with cheap, abundant human labor.

$185k is only for submission of application. Once you have the TLD, there's also mandatory recurring fee of approximately $25k/year + $0.25/domain transaction fee + setup and maintenance of infrastructure. My guess is that it would cost $50k-$100k/year to run it overall.

Oh I agree with you. I should have phrased it that it was more the way it was phrased by Microsoft that lead me down the garden path. I assumed MS meant something else.

But I do see many other people asking how do undo the MS launcher so it seems like I wasn't the only fool.

The MS launcher does look interesting but it was not what I wanted.

My experience with Janus is that it will not scale at least for the sole reason of using poll not epoll for the I/O (http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html#nb.poll).

When I tried to use it for the last time (1-2 years ago) it also had severe stability issues but maybe that improved over time.

Maybe drop me an email at info@membraneframework.org so we can discuss the matter in greater detail?
Polyglot is code for T shaped people: broad knowledge in general and deep knowledge in 1 or 2 things.

They want someone who explores a bit, checking out what other languages offer, so that he's not always reaching for the same thing to solve every problem, regardless of how appropriate it is.

It's like a carpenter who has his go-to tools, but at least knows when a scroll saw is more appropriate to the task than a circular saw.
uBlock Origin is the uBlock.

A few years ago, back when uBlock Origin was just uBlock, gorhill (it's sole developer at the time) entrusted the uBlock development to what was supposed to be a community effort. Instead a single developer took over and essentially did nothing with the extension except place donation links to himself in the extension and on the website.

It didn't take long until gorhill himself noticed and decided to pick development back up - under the new name of uBlock Origin. To this date uBlock has barely seen any development while uBlock Origin is actively maintained.

You can find gorhill's reaction on Twitter https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1019975271443771392
There appears to be so much confusion in this thread about whether or not this involves the open source uBlock Origin. uBlock Origin should seriously consider rebranding to distance itself from the commercial uBlock.
Your phrasing is a bit awkward. Just to avoid confusion, Raymond Hill is the original developer, some other fellow took over the uBlock project.
This is a fallacy of majority.

Most people also believed the Earth to be the center of the universe.

Marx got the labor theory of production wrong. He blames the capitalists for unjustly acquiring the "means of production" and uses that as an excuse for violently stealing and murdering those people.

He would literally insist that you must have stolen for someone because you have a successful 1-man blog earning lots of money.

His argument is that it is nit the capitalist (blog writer) that is responsible for profit.... but the ISP, computer manufacturing factory workers, etc.

And from there would support stealing what you earn because you must have exploited somebody to gain wealth.

Pi-hole has made some pretty poor blocking choices in the past, so use at your own risk.

For instance, they randomly decided to block *.microsoft.com - you can imagine the chaos that caused.
There seems to be lots of confusion around this topic.

gorhill is the original author of uBlock, but when he handed the project off to someone else, he found that they didn't live up to ethical standards, which is why gorhill started uBlock Origin. That other person owns ublock.org, so it makes sense to filter that domain.

I did not use Google translation. I went to the French Wikipedia articles, which used cache associatif.

No, it isn't a supercomputer. These things (whether they be Parallela, Pi, or whatever) are generally at least an order of magnitude too low in every parameter relevant compared with a single node of a real HPC system.

A typical University system from that time might have been have been >~100 nodes with 16 Sandy Bridge cores, ~20 DGEMM GFLOPs and >=2GB ECC memory per core, a QDR Infiniband interconnect (~1μs latency, 40GB bandwidth), and >100TB of Lustre parallel filesystem.

You can't make such a strong claim as "all languages are equally complex" with zero evidence, especially if you're replying to a comment that gives plenty of evidence that Chinese is harder.

I will grant that Chinese is easy in some ways and hard in others. I'm saying that most differences in difficulty fade away, years into learning a language. The things that remain are disproportionately worse, for Chinese.
