Founder here - great question.

The way this works is that you first build a CLI, which is a container and then you publish it to us so that it also runs in Slack. It's shared code that runs in both environments.

So if Slack is ever down, you still have the CLI.

The big benefit here is that you build once and it runs in both places which means don't need a separate runbook or even infra to make your CLI run in Slack - it's 100% serverless.

For our users the Ops engineers obviously prefer the CLI, but the Dev's really love Slack - this creates a nice balance in the DX that works on both sides, on top of existing CI/CD.
Right. So because MS used the wrong strategy that is evidence that Google's lawyers are deriving incorrect legal conclusions?

Is that your argument?

So because MS was wrong once, Google is wrong other times of your choosing?

My assertion is that continuing education credits, or advanced degrees are far from a guarantee of improving a teacher's practice. Continuing education suffers from "box checking." There are a number of reasons for this.

It is in no way a knock on teachers. They are caught up in a bad system and are responding to systemic incentives.

If we apply an always/sometimes/never framework to my assertion, we can find examples where teachers advanced their practice via continuing education. So the teachers you know certainly could have advanced degrees, some even very helpful in improving their practice.

My experience in K-12 as well as studying the history of education reform in America since Sputnik was launched inform this assertion. It has been a recurring theme for 60 years.

It's currently sourcing phonemes from a lookup table called CMUdict, which is constructed by Carnegie Mellon [1]. That database has 140,000 entries, but even so, you'd be surprised how many common words are omitted. And of course it is missing terms for things like "pokemon" and "fortnite", which I had to add myself.

I don't have generic grapheme -> phoneme/polyphone prediction, but that's something I look to add soon. In my literature review I didn't see anything in this space, so I was thinking I might have to come up with something novel.

Nice project! On the subject of different optimization goals for route planning, I was thinking about car travel. Google optimizes for travel time, but I often want to weight "route simplicity" higher than time — I'd rather take a straight shot down a mildly congested highway than wind through a bunch of peoples' backyards. And why not an option to "minimize deaths"? Some routes (and some turns) are more accident-prone than others; at Google scale you could save a lot of lives this way.

Not the article author, but:

> - Google internally knows they can comply with the AGPL without trouble

No, and I don't know where you got that. The article is talking about how start-ups can typically comply with AGPL without trouble. cic48 claims that all software running on Borg needs to be extensively modified and then can only be compiled using Google's proprietary tool-chain. If that's true, then they can't run AGPL on Borg without releasing the code for the tool-chain.

> - Has consciously chosen to write policies prohibiting it based on misleading reasons

No. Has written policies prohibiting it for rational self-interest (GPL, MIT, etc licenses allow them to sell access via the Internet without any cost to them, AGPL does not). After writing these policies, they've provided an alternative justification.

> - Google adheres to that policy

Outside of Google Legal, who would know whether or not they adhere to their own internal policies? If they used AGPL software internally, they would have no legal obligation to disclose that (because they'd be fully in compliance).

> - Most importantly: they are doing this because they believe that the influence this would have in discouraging use of the AGPL is valuable enough to substantially benefit Google

Why "substantially"? I would imagine the cost of saying "don't use AGPL" and then publishing an article about it was very low. A couple person-weeks of work at the most? It's hard to imagine what wouldn't be worth that investment.

But I think you didn't understand the article, because the main thrust of it was to encourage businesses to not be afraid of the AGPL, not to determine whether Google is acting maliciously or not.
I believe for performance and error correction features for spinning hard drives.
Check out the tables and graphic in the overview section here[1]. Any write to a sector requires updating the checksum, which means the whole sector has to be read before the drive can complete the write. Since the sector is probably in the kernel disk cache already, the whole sector can be flushed to disk at once and the drive can compute the checksum on the fly (instead of flushing 1 byte, making the drive do a read of the sector, recompute the checksum, and then do a write).

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Format
Try designing the format keeing the required features in mind and you might seen why they have.

The hardware has to be able to read and write data from an arbitrary location and do some kind of checksum for error detection and they have to be able to efficiently transfer this data to the cpu.
If they're managers they should be in management jobs. If they're not, why should they complain about not being management? Management is its own job, not a "reward" granted for time in service. Not even the military works like that.

I work in education - if I were to sit on my hands and use anything more than the most basic foundational research and 'best practice' from when I left my post-doc program 10 years ago, I would be unemployed. I work on professional development and skill building constantly.

That's not the exception to the rule, either. You're expected to stay current on trends in your field, and stay ahead of best practices.
The remedy for a violation is also in play. Private contract between two companies, cutting a 10 figure check makes it all better. Being wrong about AGPL, you have to release a lot of code that you really don't want to release, that is very important to your core business.

That's the other side, uncertainty with acceptable error bars vs uncertainty with unacceptable error bars.

Guess what, AGPL does that too. Its only 1 paragraph different than GPL.

> Where contracts are often almost entirely standard per-company

"standard per-company", means custom and used used throughout the company. That doesn't make it less risky, and its not like these things don't constantly change and are hugely complicated, just look at privacy policies. AGPL is standard for all companies.

> And very rarely is the company in danger from the non-boilerplate clauses.

Citation needed.
Lawyers run businesses, and drafting custom contracts/licence are a big part of their business.

GPL and standardized licences destroy this part of their business.

Also who pays a lawyers to read the thousands of page of licences for say Microsoft software (all the version of all the software deployed)? Where I work no one is able to know what Microsoft licence we need to buy, even when we ask licence sellers they mostly don't answer, and it changes all the time.

IIRC early Microsoft Visual C++ licences did not authorize the diffusion of debug compiled executables (don't know if it's still the case). How many violation of this?

No. The reward is not having to do two jobs for the same compensation. If you’re childless, your reward is your freedom from this challenging time for working families.

To get to the root of this...You are likely hinting that it is a choice to have kids. But it’s also necessary for society that people have children and take care of them.

GPLv3 does not have a source entitlement for users of the software. Its source entitlement is for people the work has been conveyed to. It defines "convey" thusly:

> To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying

and propagate is:

> To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well

Using software does not necessarily involve conveying the software to the user.

A good example is given in the GPL FAQ [1]:

> Does GPLv3 require that voters be able to modify the software running in a voting machine?

> No. Companies distributing devices that include software under GPLv3 are at most required to provide the source and Installation Information for the software to people who possess a copy of the object code. The voter who uses a voting machine (like any other kiosk) doesn't get possession of it, not even temporarily, so the voter also does not get possession of the binary software in it.

This is what makes AGPL so different from previous licenses. As far as I know it is the only free software license that has a source entitlement that triggers on mere use. The others trigger on distribution or possession of copies.

VC Due Diligence Question re: co-founder's history
Hey YC community,

Long story short, our co-founder got canned from his first job because of a few overtime dinners that weren't eligible for reimbursement (one of those jobs that make you work 90 hrs a week), and a lot of companies are getting really strict about it. He's talented no doubt, but im worried this could be a thorn when we're fundraising w/ investors. Does anyone have any insight into how big of a deal this might be, and whether this would derail our process? Would they care a lot about something like this? His performance at the job was excellent and there are references to back that up.

Thanks team, any help would be appreciated
> How much funding does Fedex or UPS get from government to stay operational ?

The government also doesn't set Fedex or UPS's rates, or appoint their chief executives, or pass laws about their pension funding. So it's not a fair comparison.
They should get a refund if they already paid for the feature. If you want to make money off of the situation then say you'll send a support technician or someone to look over their configuration and set it up to do what they want. That's the only legitimate and fair thing to do.
A long time ago back in college our team designed a free space optical gigabit digital link via laser diode and photodiode. We were transmitting I think 1 Gbps easily over maybe 50 meters. We didn't have enough time to polish the system or test faster speed because the sponsoring corporation took our design back to their RD group.

> So if you trained a model with tall, deep-voiced Austrian man, you could probably get something that people will immediately associate with Arnold without actually being his voice, or someone emulating him. //

I think "passing off", an unregistered element of trademark laws, may be pertinent here. If the public think that there's an association and you're knowingly trading on that, even if the public are wrong, then you can be 'passing off' your output as someone else's goods/services/[vocal renditions].

It's likely you'd have to be very careful about use of copyright material for training the voice (eg extracting metrics that describe the voice). Fair Use might apply in USA though (even commercially).

IANAL, this is not legal advice.

That's propaganda. Whether you think that's bad or good or there is nuance is still for each person to decide for themselves but nevertheless that's pretty much textbook propaganda.
OK, good deal, I am very pleased to know that it's all acceptable behavior. Thanks for the detailed reply. :)
N is 15, not 299.

This is comparing one measure for each of the 15 countries against three other measures (cabinet minister's average obesity Vs. Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, World Bank worldwide governance indicator Control of Corruption, and Index of Public Integrity).

The 299 is the combined number of cabinet ministers whose weight were averaged, which is a single measure per location, not the actual subject of the statistical question (which is a country, not an individual cabinet minister).

It also isn't in a peer reviewed journal at all.

Reading the title, I was expecting an article about poor quality code. I'm sure all of us have looked at code they wrote in the past and thought "What the hell was I thinking?"

Didn't expect an article on ethics.

I haven't had to write code went into a project I considered unethical, but I have performed penetration tests on DRM systems. While I don't consider the idea of DRM to be unethical, I really don't like it. While in the design review meeting, and the PM was describing the project, they avoided using the term "DRM", and I really wanted to be like "So...is this whole thing just DRM for X?"
I think it may not be entirely serious (or at least the news article's coverage of it isn't).
This comment completely misunderstands the USPS's problems. The USPS doesn't get public funding, but its pursestrings and business model is micromanaged by Congress (which has no business placing most of the mandates on the USPS that it does). This is roughly equivalent to having an environmental conservation group being given a majority of board seats on a real estate developer.

These micromanaging mandates include schedule of delivery, the breadth of service area (which frequently must include the least profitable places to deliver), micromanaging of every price increase, and restrictions that the USPS can't move into other businesses that might encroach on their lobbyist-buddies clients (eg. paycheck cashing, which USPS used to do). I can't make sense of how much the 75-years pension prepay is catching up from insufficient coffers (perhaps justifiable) and how much of it is just punitive to keep the USPS from running efficiently and being able to use more of its debt for capital improvements.

According to WSJ, UPS added delivery surcharges in May due to COVID's impact. The only reason USPS can't do the same to manage the supply/demand curve changes is because Congress is somehow allowed to micromanage USPS price changes.
I don't think it's a given that just because no one else finds it profitable means that the USPS couldn't operate it in a profitable way.

Most of the reasons that it isn't profitable relate to problems that the USPS already has to solve as part of their core function. It doesn't make sense for a bank to invest in physical infrastructure in the middle of nowhere, the cost of the building would erase any potential profit. The post office already has a building there though (and staff, etc). A significant amount of the up front expense, as well as a decent chunk of the ongoing expenses, is already going to be spent anyway.
To be clear, it will be incompatible with GPLv2-only software. Projects which use the default GPLv2 license notice will be able to link with OpenSSL 3 without problem, since the notice permits the software to be re-licensed under newer versions of the GPL.

Also note that the old OpenSSL license was incompatible with both GPLv2 and GPLv3 (unless the project provided an exception for OpenSSL). So OpenSSL 3's license change increases compatibility with GPL software.
Always fun to see this type of work. I notice the usage of OsString, and it made me wonder: does the way an OS encodes it’s strings potentially make this FS non-portable between OSes? If I want to mount a drive formatted with this FS, would the OsString be potentially non-portable?
