How often is it the case that some official in government has an interest in Accenture, or whatever company, and it is in their interest for that company to win contracts, and then simply stretch those contracts out as long as possible, while the interested official continues their influence in retaining the contract? Or perhaps I'm overly cynical.

Something weird going on with that page! The article number in the URL changes back and forward between 2 numbers as you scroll! Makes coming back to HN a bit tricky!

Interesting read though

Is there any evidence of this?

When a state enforces a law like this, forcing all traffic through routers they control, presumably it makes it easier to detect traffic using VPNs/Tor? I'm guessing this would have to be done through some kind of heuristics based mechanism?

Was that the final resolution then; that Boeing were ordered to replace the part, and the crashes stopped happening? Was there ever a formal investigation into whether Boeing knew the true cause of the rudder hardover, and chose to ignore it and blame other stuff?

I've seen this pop up a couple of times now as well - are there any other similarly thought provoking articles anyone recommends?
