My hunch would be that they are just bailing before they get mired in something like an antitrust suit. They strike me as the type of person that enjoys the fun of a fast startup environment, and a big Co under an antitrust suit is pretty much the opposite of that. I doubt they are driven by money as much, in comparison.
Metaflow comes with a built in scheduler. If your company has an existing scheduler, e.g. for ETL, you can translate Metaflow DAGs to the production scheduler automatically. This is what we do at Netflix.

We could provide similar support e.g. for Airflow, if there's interest.

For monitoring, we have relied on notebooks this far. Their flexibility and customizability is unbeatable. We might build some lightweight discovery / debugging UI later, if there's demand. We are a bit on the fence about it internally.
Hispanic here. I interviewed with Google and I did terribly bad. I was surprised how nice and patient my interviewer was. There is a lot of self imposed pressure as this is Google. I felt the interview went from 0 to 60MPh really fast. My mind was blocked instantly. I also needed to study specifically for this. It seems that on the job experience is not enough. You really need to train for it.

Meh, sounds like overly negative propaganda to me. Clearly they're building up a big body of knowledge and have a lot of potential, as long as someone can figure out a practical application for the kinds of optimization problems their machine is good at.

It seems like neural networks should map to it well. Once the degree of connectivity and the number of qubits approaches the millions, there's no way any normal software solver is going to be able to keep up with it.

The other guy did insult him first. It doesn’t really matter which words were used in either direction, they were both trying to engage in public ridicule. But Musk has more money, so he isn’t held to the same standard. I think they both look bad and the case should be thrown out.

Some convicted scammer claiming to be a private investigator who could get dirt on Unsworth ended up baiting Musk and offering his services for $50k. He sold him some lies about Unsworth, and Musk thought the guy was legit, so he later doubled down in the private email to a buzzfeed reporter, which was obviously promptly published.

I just wrote up a quick survey of python profilers that hasn't been published yet, and along with py-spy, there is austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin). The thing that I liked the most about austin is that it also samples the memory usage of the system so that you have the context of the world outside of the process being sampled, in case it is useful. That said, py-spy is easier to install (it can be installed via pip).

> They need to either provide protection that can prevent "commingling" to their satisfaction, to grant a comparable level of trust to users with personal devices that they do in other aspects of conducting business (which was the real point of the example you didn't like), or just to ban personal devices.

DLP (data loss prevention) software should be present on any personal computing device that can store company data, which will be a requirement of their cyber-security insurance policy, a requirement of the various audits they surely undergo, and probably also a requirement of GDPR.

It's providing strictly more choice and flexibility to their employees and contractors to allow them to host company data on their personal device, the obvious trade-off being made when you install the DLP endpoint software on your phone and grant it permission to remote-wipe your device if necessary.

If the company required their employees/contractors to use their personal device for company business, this would be an entirely different discussion. In California, the employer is required to reimburse employees for using their personally owned device for company business - i.e. required to pay for the cost of a phone and the service plan.

Employees choose not to buy a second phone and get paid for their service plan on their personal phone for convenience, and to save themselves the cost of a personal plan. Some choices are not strictly good, but include pros and cons which are individual's responsibility to weigh.

I think it's a safe assumption that anyone choosing to install the DLP agent on their personal phone, particularly at a company like Google, does so fully informed of the responsibilities that come with that decision.

> I think they claim 30% less CPU years using the identical hardware to crack RSA-768, when applying this same software to RSA-768.

Are you sure? My reading was "in 70% of the the time it took to crack RSA-768, using their hardware, we cracked RSA-240" - this would match up relatively well with the fact that the expected difficulty increase was x2.25 and then they say "Taking this into account, and still using identical hardware, our computation was 3 times faster than the expected time that would have been extrapolated from previous records."

Collaborating this, the previous record took ~4000+1500+900+200=6600 core years and the current one 4000. The Xeon Gold 6130 used has a single thread passmark of 1754 while the Xeon E5-2660 used in the RSA-768 factorization scored 1471, from [0]. Normalizing for passmark, the new RSA-240 factorization took 72.3% as much compute as the RSA-768 factorization. I would not be at all surprised if their software saw smaller gains through the generations than Passmark did, and it wouldn't take much to bring 72.3% to 70%.

Are you saying:

1) the input is not actually biased

2) the company is responsible for making the output less biased than the input (or produce an unbiased output from a biased input)

3) the company is responsible for making sure that they don’t cause the output to be more biased than the input, (but you are not saying that it is responsible for more than that)

3’) The same as 3, except that the amount of bias in the input, while nonzero, is small and relatively unimportant

4) The company is responsible for preventing the bias in the input

5) I (drdeca) missed an option; none of the above (if so, please specify the option I missed, which can be the case while none of the above are)

My leanings are that either (2) or (3) (or 3’, but that is just a subtype of 3) (or 2’, but again that is just a subtype if 2) is the case.

I don't care if AWS is big and bundled as long as they use standard interfaces. Linux is big and it doesn't really matter that there's not much competition. I don't care what system (or even virtual machines or containers) runs my program.

If there were an open standard for "way to upload and store and serve files on the web", and S3 happened to implement that standard, and other companies and open-source projects did as well, then it wouldn't matter to me if AWS was the bundling king or not.

There was nothing magical about the design of Unix, either. It's not the only way to make an operating system, or even the best way. It survived because we got many competing implementations which were basically source-compatible. It really took off when we got free clones that anyone could run on their PC.

The whole point of the article is that restricting your hiring pool to only CS graduates is a bad pattern and you should consider other qualities instead so saying only 18% of CS graduates are female misses the point.

Having no CS degree myself and excelling in a top 10 company I agree with this sentiment, especially seeing the epidemic of “over leveling” the small pool of CS graduates occurring. I’d rather work with correctly leveled non-CS graduates than over-leveled CS graduates

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Anyone is perfectly capable of operating their business at a flat-rate pricing structure versus a commission structure. That's the beauty of our economy; that companies can make these decisions for themselves and their customers can then vote with their wallets which solution they like better.

Steam is the perfect example because it started from nothing, did not leverage any existing device-base to shoe-horn it's solution, and they exist in a marketplace littered with a long list of failed competitors who couldn't beat them in a fair fight.

And yet still people will hate on them for nothing more than being successful apparently, and offering a service that game studios throw fist-fulls of money at.

This is also a bit dated policy. I've reported bugs on Patreon before that involved looking at the source code and modifing it, but it did not cross my mind that they'd reserve the right to ban users for doing so. I think this is a case of copying TOS sections from other places which are not a good fit for this service.

That said, Patreon has destroyed their user interface in the past year, profiles on desktop barely contain any information above the fold, so we need competition in this space.
A: The "one additional feature" - Section 2(d) reads as follows: " If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a computer network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program was given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program's complete source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program or work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative work."

"This enables the original author... to download the source and receive the benefit of any modifications to its original work.

So if a cloud vendor (or anyone) decided to take your software and use it, if they made modifications to it you are entitled to get access to those modifications. For many people this is a barrier to entry -- they want the ability to modify it in however they want (which they can still do privately under AGPL). But if they offer it in public, they have to share their mods back to the community.

At least, that is my layperson's understanding of it. I am not an intellectual property lawyer and do not pretend to be.

Unsworth was pissed because Musk's cave mini-sub white knight PR stunt was a huge, impractical distraction thrust on him at a time when speed and decisive action were of the essence. He used some choice words with an interviewer and, more to the point, never made baseless claims about Musk's background to a Twitter following of millions. To compare the two is just absurd.

yep, Metaflow tracks everything: Your code, dependencies, and the internal state of the workflow automatically.

A big difference between Metaflow and other workflow frameworks for ML is that Metaflow doesn't only execute your DAG, it helps you to design and implement the code that runs inside the DAG. Many frameworks leave these details to the data scientist to decide.

In addition, My argument was trying to point out that there's multiple levels to this issue, and saying low level employees is the problem is ignoring the fact senior leaders decide to stay in these big cities despite the fact their own employees can't find homes, or commute as a part time job.

The STEM gap is lower in countries with more discrimination against women.

> Paradoxically, the sex differences in the magnitude of relative academic strengths and pursuit of STEM degrees rose with increases in national gender equality. The gap between boys’ science achievement and girls’ reading achievement relative to their mean academic performance was near universal. These sex differences in academic strengths and attitudes toward science correlated with the STEM graduation gap. A mediation analysis suggested that life-quality pressures in less gender-equal countries promote girls’ and women’s engagement with STEM subjects.

Male over representation in STEM fields is probably due to their other options being poorer compared to women. Men generally have high math scores only while women with high math scores also have high reading scores.

> What they find is that comparative advantage (math ability relative to reading ability) explains math intentions better than actual math or reading ability. Comparative advantage is also a better predictor of math intentions than perceptions of math ability (women do perceive lower math ability relative to true ability than do men but the effect is less important than comparative advantage). In another data set the authors show that math intentions predict math education.

> Thus, accumulating evidence shows that over-representation of males in STEM fields is perhaps better framed as under-representation of males in reading fields and the latter is driven by relatively low reading achievement among males.

> It felt like the 'whitest' place ever and that everyone I spoke to was Linus Torvalds or James Damore or someone like that.

Well yeah, it's Google, so that's possible. Or maybe the company is large enough now that those kinds of high level individuals are diluted in their engineering pool? But it certainly had that reputation early on, that any random person interviewing you could be top in their field of expertise.

> The fact they didn't seem coached to be friendly added dramatically to that effect.

Hah, yeah, that's very much part of the culture. Having the best argument or data or working code matters. Not how politely you talk about it.

Which can certainly have its advantages, as long as everyone can let go of personally identifying with their idea once they are convinced of a better one. Then it can be a real positive.
