Does "Nicolas Bourbaki" count?

This is IMO an excellent example, and the one I came to post.

You might want to check the bio of Antonio García Martí­nez, who has a physics background, and subsequently worked in both finance and adtech.

There's a bill (H.R. 4009) named "Flamethrowers? Really? Act" to regulate flamethrowers the same way machine guns are regulated: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/4009...

Several open source cloud projects (OpenStack, Eucalyptus, CloudStack, OpenNebula) implement the Amazon EC2 API. Eucalyptus is the only one that formally obtained a license from Amazon.

That's called a warrant canary: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/04/warrant-canary-faq

I've used k2pdfopt for reading two-column formatted academic papers on Kindle Paperwhite, it works great.

Here's a talk he gave on this topic, from 2013: http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/blog/video/lecture-...

There's "Making Software" by Oram and Wilson: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596808303.do

For a critique of Unz's data analysis, see Andrew Gelman's blog post here: http://andrewgelman.com/2013/02/12/that-claim-that-harvard-a...

Did you read the analysis? I mean, the length of his critique should already tip you off, since Unz's article takes at least 2-3 hours to read. Gelman only criticizes Unz's assertion that Jews are overrepresented.

Gelman says in that critique that he agrees there is an underrepresentation of Asians.

Have you been following this since then?

That's not actually Gelman's analysis. He's just relaying some criticisms that were sent to him by Janet Mertz. Ron Unz responds to this, corrects some of his own errors, and shows his claims still hold. Then Gelman (proxying for Mertz) and Unz go back and forth way too many times, using way too many words and almost no data.

Eventually Gelman gives up, so Unz moves on to reviewing Mertz's old work. Let's just leave it here: http://www.ronunz.org/2013/03/16/meritocracy-dangerous-cance...

Orca wasn't built by contractors, it was written in-house by Romney staffers and volunteers.

See: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/11/which-...

Orca and systems like it are also not particularly relevant to electoral outcomes, compared to all of the other things that campaigns use/build.

No kidding - ORCA should've been miles down the priority queue. That tens of thousands of election-day volunteers were wasted on it when they could've been doing more essential things is infuriating.

The Romney campaign didn't build the right thing wrong - instead, they built the completely wrong thing, which is doubly damning.
