While it might sound nice to want to sweep away compelled testimony, in this case the cure is much worse than the disease.

A major part of the Constitution's objective as specified in the preamble is to "establish justice." Certainly criminal elements - actual criminals, not people who are quasi-political prisoners like Assange - would love to be able to refuse to testify under any circumstances. Such an interpretation would be untenable and would lead to essentially a failed state. Thus we understand that the First Amendment does not mean that people cannot be called to testify in court.

Furthermore, keep in mind that your interpretation is directly contradicted by, well, the Constitution.

Sixth Amendment:

> In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right [...] to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor [...]

Considering that the First and Sixth Amendments were proposed together and ratified at the same time, I think the idea that the First Amendment allows people not to speak under compulsion of court is untenable.

Finally, the text of the First Amendment begins "Congress shall make no law [...]" That framing is important: the right is against Congress enacting a law, not the courts granting an order compelling speech (like a subpoena) or forbidding it (like a gag order or keeping grand jury proceedings secret).

Ask HN: What is the reason no one is competing with UpWork?
UpWork has a market cap of near 1bn and yet no one in the recent years has made any significant attempt to compete with them. Of course they have huge network effect and they dominate the SEO, but if executed well then the potential winnings are huge too. A startup with 5-10M investment could grab a significant share of the market.

You have of course freelancer.com, but it has a terrible reputation and it is mostly used by low skill workers.

You have fiverr.com, but their unfortunate branding has stagnated their growth outside of one of gigs.

You have toptal.com, but they specialise in high-end talent contracts.

UpWork has a sweet spot of mixed calibre talent of all sorts and no clear competitor.

Thoughts?

I work on TFX. TFX started as an internal Google project [1] but over the years we've been steadily open sourcing more and more of it. Portability and interoperability are key focus areas for our project, more information in [2]. TFX OSS currently consists of libraries, components, and some binaries. It is up to the developer to pick the right level of abstraction for the task at hand. More information about this in [3]. Many of the ideas in TFX were inspired by an earlier production ML system at Google called Sibyl, more information about Sibyl in [4]. The two systems combined represent over a decade of production ML experience of many engineers and we hope other engineers will find it useful, too.

Also of interest may be this overview blog post [5] by yours truly :)

Seeing housing as a vehicle for wealth building is what leads to policies that increase or maintain housing prices. People don't need to put their money in to housing to build equity, they can just build equity. You know, save. Put it in diversified assets not chuck it all in to one asset and then leverage debt to chuck even more in to that asset.

Home ownership is how the system keeps the common man down. It should absolutely not be championed in his favour.
I believe our industry overuses the term "abstraction", and incorrectly. You're probably right that he meant something different by it.

In your example, the OAuth token provider is concrete, and not having to know the details of OAuth would be an example of encapsulation.

Abstraction would be deriving general rules (of authentication, perhaps?) by drawing from the OAuth example, and by induction being able to generalize for anything not OAuth specific.
They’re using TypeScript. Ts classes are horrible: you have to explicitly use “this.” to access anything in the class - it’s as good as it was possible to make it with the JS legacy, but it just doesn’t work very well.

Using namespaces with state passed to the relevant function ends up being basically just as easy, and sometimes easier as you end up using more closures and can access enclosed variables directly.

Classes in languages designed for OO work a lot better.
This has simply not been my experience of how SOC2 processes have actually worked at real startups. The experience I've seen, repeatedly, in variations but always on this one theme, is of a collection of mostly boilerplate policies being exchanged for a turbocharged vendorsec questionnaire, followed by a series of interviews. The line items on the questionnaire are answered in any ways that is convenient for the auditee and credible for the auditor.

At no point is anyone on the engineering side made familiar with TSC points or COSO; the runic accountancy is driven be the auditor. I would, in particular, not recommend that startups thinking about pursuing SOC2 spend a lot of time familiarizing themselves with the TSC or (god forbid) the COSO Framework, because it simply isn't going to matter.

My general belief is that SOC2 is of no intrinsic value to organizations, and going into it with a mind towards letting your engineering practice be guided by SOC2 rather than dictating SOC2 is a recipe for heartbreak. Among security engineers (and managers) at tech startups I've talked to, I don't seem to be far out of the mainstream. SOC2 is like most university degrees: it's a demonstration of seriousness, and nothing more.

The problem with most of the public vs. private stuff is that 'the public' often needs something (i.e. a bridge that doesn't collapse) yet a commercial entity with the goal of maximising profit will probably have no problem with a collapsing bridge as long as it's cheaper than maintaining it.

Some needs are worth putting it in a public baseline. And sometimes grey areas work (i.e. a public service fulfilled by a private entity but then checked by a public instance). Some stuff may not need to be public, i.e. kegs of beer. It's great when you want one, but it's not a base public need and not a shared need (unlike infrastructure, health, security, for general survival in places packed with too many people like big cities). But then a commercial entity might see an opportunity to sell things as a public baseline (why have basic weather forecasts when you can add 'bbq weather compatibility forecasts' or 'can I play golf tomorrow' functionality. But now that company has a hard time getting people to pay for it because that extra stuff that you didn't need anyway isn't attractive to anyone who just wants to know if they need to bring an umbrella. So ban the simple stuff and now your complex stuff has a place in the market. It's practically setting yourself up not to win on your own merit but 'removing' any opposition. Or so it seems to us bystanders. I don't actually know why they thought this was a good idea to have a lawsuit about.

It's tricky.

I did just read this [1] and do agree that the strategy in South Korea was productive. I think a variant of that where local hospitals provide testing could be useful here in the US.

As for inflation, I think we are little too early to point to one outcome as the likely one. Right now my view is that I can either let my mind go into full freak out mode or I can think about the fact that I do have fairly extensive contacts of people who are first responders, healthcare workers, research scientists, policy makers, innovators and I trust them. If I can trust them, then I can trust that the overall system is going to work imperfect as it is.

IMHO one consequence will be death of neoliberalism (started with Reagan/Thatcher but going philosophically to Hayek and Friedman). It is quite likely that U.S. will nationalize health care as a response to this crisis. But more broadly, the idea that government is a useless economic actor and shouldn't dictate economic policy will become laughable in the response to the crisis.

On paper yes. In practice no. Because the common man will buy a new car, or order some trinket from Amazon, or some other splurge.

> Home ownership is how the system keeps the common man down. It should absolutely not be championed in his favour.

Home ownership forces the common man to save because he knows he’ll be kicked to the curb if he doesn’t pay the mortgage.

If people treated their retirement savings like a true mortgage, e.g. putting it before all other monthly expenses, then yes it’d be possible. But they won’t.

> I think you misunderstand what curve grading is.

I think you do. Curve grading is where the top score in the class determines the max score, and everyone is graded accordingly. It's a way of making sure that the test isn't so bad that even the top student can't get a perfect score.

> Except that bridges fall down and kill people when designed by incompetents.

That's true. That's why people who design bridges have to take standardized tests with objecting grading standards designed by groups of experts.

But that has nothing to do with the grading policy of undergrad classes.

> Employers are NOT interested in curve ranking. They're interested in a degree as a mark of meeting a standard.

No, they're interested in a degree as a mark of someone who can finish something that takes four years to complete. I don't care if you went to Caltech or MIT or Cal State Northridge, as long as you can write code.

iOS has essentially always used FBE and not FDE, you can see more about this in the iOS Security Guide [0], while yes, versions of Android up to 7.0 only allowed FDE. Google has since done away with FDE and it's no longer supported by AOSP in version 10 and above, where FBE is enforced.

Whether or not this is more or less secure really depends on your threat level. IMHO, turned on, the data is more secure if apps are configured properly with FBE. Turned off, data is more secure with FDE (assuming both scenarios the same key).

So wouldn't a further abstraction be to introduce an auth provider that returns a set of HTTP header values to be used, or something along those lines?

I could then implement the OAuth auth provider based on the OAuth token providers interface I got now. And this would allow me to not think about how exactly the auth is done at all, just that it is done somehow.

Isn't this the layers of abstractions mentioned? If so, how is this bad?

the recent meta-analysis offering some limited support for AA got me thinking about this -- it's an interesting case where for a lot of people, a fixed mindset is what they need to make a positive change. i think there probably are many situations like this, where accepting something as a fixed trait actually helps you deal with it better.
