The problem is that companies can have huge impact in the US due to a lack of effective regulations + legal corruption (lobbies). Large companies are pretty much the source of many executive decisions. Without that power, an employee should be able to just join or not join a company based on what the company is doing (ethically moral or not).

Healthcare is not a monolithic entity, so different parts of it saying different things is coherent. It probably isn't the case, but it could even be that doctor deciding the test wasn't worth doing.

It can also be the case that insufficient testing is available in your area.

I did find this previous HN comment, also by gumby, on a similar article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14408209
Damascus is used colloquially to refer to pattern-welded steel where a maker forge welds a stack assembled from thin strips of steel where a high nickel alloy is alternated with a low nickel alloy. The different steel alloys have similar properties so they form a solid piece but the heterogenous structure is revealed by etching with acid and the alternating strips of high and low nickel alloy make pretty patterns.

Keep an eye out for a Multiprise 3000 from 1999. It's the smallest of them and runs on regular household electricity at 1300W. If you do find one, make sure it has the hard drives intact or it'll be a 400 lb. paperweight like mine :(

I beg your pardon? Messing the word orders in French or German will definitely mess up the sentence.

The German would be something like “Im New York sind Ratten, die größter als Hunden sind”, and moving the words would make the sentence invalid – albeit probably understandable.

Show HN: Doppler – Machine learning marketplace of pretrained models (producthunt.com) - 6 points by bvallelunga on Apr 25, 2018 | 1 comment
```

It's a cool name for sure, but after perusing the founder of this project's blog posts and other web activity, their highly misleading marketing ("you have three options: waste time, don't even try, or pay us!" https://doppler.com/blog/build-vs-manual-vs-buy | "we recreated what these specific competitors which are already established made; they sucked, you don't want to use them, take our word for it and pay us instead of looking for yourself!" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24719722 ) I question their morals.

Substantive criticism: your marketing needs not be slinging mud, and referencing specific established players in your marketing material in order to give false credibility that you are a one-for-one replacement is a shady practice. I looked at your post solely because it contrasted itself from your competitors claiming superiority, and was disappointed by all of the above AND that the fact that it couldn't do the things it claimed to by making those contrasts.

All in all, disappointed to see a ycombinator funded project hoisted on HN with all the above going on, and one with a large number of investors behind it and no open source to back up their claims. This isn't just a community built tool to improve developers' lives, this is a marketing push by a corporation with the intent to get a burst of customers with misleading/questionable marketing.
Which applications, and why? Some computational ones will go significantly slower on the same number of cores if they could have kept avx512 fed (perhaps small data in cache), but most don't spend all their time in something like GEMM. The new UK "tier 1" HPC system is all EPYC.
By that reasoning, everything I will ever create is a derivative work. Which philosophically might stand up to scrutiny, but hopefully doesn't make me a walking infringement.

Anecdotally, all of the PC gamers I know put aftermarket coolers on their CPUs. The box cooler is still in the box taking up space in their closet. The AMD parts especially benefit from additional cooling (higher turbo clocks). I think it makes sense to not include box coolers on parts so high up the performance chart that using a box cooler would just hamstring it.
Ultimately consumers foot the bill. It's why antitrust legislation gets pursued in the first place.

It's the raising of prices in the absence of market forces that gives room for the payment processor to increase fees. Theoretically all payment processors benefit from advocating that their clients raise prices. If some companies raise their prices, no issue, but the coordinated effort to do it is where you "smell a rat".

It's then up to the litigating party to try to find collusion between companies to do this. This is like how the anti-competitive hiring practices of Google/Apple/Facebook/etc were surfaced. They all had a set of practices that stood out as anomalous and during the subsequent investigation it was found that they colluded with each other to set the market (rate for hiring talent).

It's probably not the case here...and also patio11 has little risk saying so while living in Japan where industries are highly vertically-integrated/monopolistic.
I agree, I’ll push out an update shortly to increase the typo tolerance threshold. That way only very close misspellings are auto-corrected.

>In fact, what do people on HN think the main reason to choose an SPA is these days?

The only reason to choose a SPA is when you need an _application_.

A blog has no reason to be a SPA. A news site has no reason to be a SPA. HN has no reason to be a SPA.

An internal support tool has a reason to be a SPA. A messaging app has a reason to be a SPA (slack et. al). A music player has a reason to be a SPA (spotify).

Recently going down from the eastern sierras I regenerated 5 mi of range from energy that otherwise would have been partially dumped into the brake pads.
I think at the 600 mile range electric cars would seriously start to get tempting. 600 mile range + supercharging (something like +30% charge in 1h) and I'd buy in a heartbeat.

We've been using this approach in Typescript. It's more palatable than Haskell since you can express an array that has at least one element as a variadic tuple `[T, ... T]`. Having the possibility to encode invariants in types is very useful, although it gets harder at times since TS chokes when you push it to its limits. Note that this happens in an old Meteor codebase that was completely JS a year and a half ago.
Rumors about satanic rituals came up everywhere from Denver International Airport to Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove to the Bilderberg Group... at least wherever NWO conspiracies overlapped with the Evangelical demographic that took things like Left Behind and John Hagee seriously. The satanic panic happened in the 1980s.

Maybe "many" is an overreach, but those beliefs were definitely present well before Pizzagate and Qanon.
I'd like to propose an idea - I'm not saying it's a good idea, just an idea.

Rather than incorporating "datasets that provide good unbiased definitions of these terms that candidates use", allow users (ideally quality controlled in some magical way) to annotate specific words and phrases, and attach comments to them (like: "We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to our schools." What does "racial indoctrination" refer to? What does "patriotic education" refer to?) This would then make the site not just a useful informational tool, but also add a social media meta-conversation type of layer on top - in the case of the above comments, revealing to other users the vacuousness of political rhetoric, which a lot of people seem to take at face value, as a sincere and honest representation of true (as opposed to truthy) intent. Politics is largely disingenuous theatre imho, I think it would be healthy for this to be pointed out to people more often.

Obviously, there are all sorts of problems with this, one of which is that cynical people like me would use it for shitposting and that sort of thing. To that, I would suggest forcing a user to choose some sort of a ~perspective from which they are posting, and to be honest and take things seriously (and enforce this with an iron fist) - so in my case, I would often choose "Hyperbolic Cynicism" and treat the whole thing like the mockery that I perceive it to be (here I mean: both candidates, and the entire system). And other users could have the option of filtering out idiot comments like mine (or, choose to only see comments of this kind, or whatever the individual prefers).

And then in addition to speeches, you could also host various news articles, and let people do the same thing. Yes, there is noteworthy overlap with Reddit and many other sites, but there's also plenty of leeway for significant differentiation.

Of course, this would significantly change (and add risk to) the nature of your website, so perhaps you could do a completely different, renamed/unaffiliated version of it and tries this angle out.

Anyways, just an idea. Overall, I think it's a good idea and really nicely done, good job.
> An API is literally just a table of contents.

An API is more like a set of mechanical gears that just happen to be shaped a little like words. If I change the names of things in a table of contents to synonyms, I can still use it to find what I am looking for. If I change the names of things my implementation of an API, it no longer functions as an interface for the things that worked with it previously.

An API, despite looking like works, is not a literary expression of a process, it is a machine for executing the process itself, and its shape, is essential to its function.

I wouldn't want any monitoring of which applications I use. In any case, such an incentive would make developers of apps that should have quick, fast actions do things to make the apps slower. For example, if it takes a user 1s to use the app, they'll add a 0.5 sec animation to open it and 1.5x their money and so on.
I'm actually also scouting for a reddit and HN alternative. It seems like Reddit users are just spilling over to HN and that shows in the quality of many "discussions".

I don't follow. If someone can determine the API by referring to code released under the Apache licence, what copyrights could they be infringing by building a different implementation of the API using the Apache-licensed code as a reference?

For a copyright infringement to have taken place, there generally needs to be an unauthorised instance of recording or of duplication, of some copyrighted work.

I put generally as, I believe, precisely recreating someone else's photo can still count as an infringement of their copyrights, despite that you haven't copied the image itself in the usual sense of making duplicates. Singing someone else's song can also infringe on their copyrights over the song. I don't think this would apply here though.

I will disagree somewhat with the people who say that companies never have a place for political stuff. If you are any company involved in South Africa during apartheid you should choose a side on apartheid and voice that position.

If BLM means just the simple definition of what the words imply (that black lives matter), there's no point in saying it. Because there's literally no one on the other side. I suspect that's not what it means, because saying a broader statement "All Lives Matter" seems to be considered a kind of slur.

So "Black Lives Matter" means something deeper. More like "Black people are killed indiscriminately by police in this country. The cops get away with it, and it's a huge problem." That is full of assumptions and political beliefs that reasonable people can disagree about. And I don't see why every company should take a side on that issue.
I imagine you're correct that lidar is a huge leg-up in the race to self-driving.

However, I can see a scenario where, despite that, it is not the right choice for Tesla. It's important to remember that self-driving technology will be commodity at some point (like the lidar units themselves). Whoever offers the most affordable option meeting some baseline performance will dominate the market and licence to every self-driving fleet. It wouldn't surprise me if Waymo ended up meeting that criteria first and licensing the tech to everyone from Uber to Toyota.

Once that tech is out, anyone else that succeeds in developing comparable tech effectively has an uphill battle ahead of them trying to sell their new, less proven version at a price and volume that can recoup their R&D investment. I think we'll see a lot of players leave the race once the first licensable product hits the market. In fact, I think we've seen a bit of that already.

Which brings me back to Tesla. My guess is their strategy is not just to develop self-driving - they'd lose on equal ground (due to not being first) - but to develop "2nd gen" self-driving which has a specific competitive advantage of not requiring lidar and thus having lower total cost per unit. This allows them to enter the market late but still have a significant edge in that market.

If a company lets their engineer's use lidar to develop self-driving tech, then the tech they build will be 100% dependent on lidar. That's Parkinson's law. If, on the other hand, the company adds a strict constraint that lidar is not an option, then the engineers might fail to build something that works - or else they will produce something with a unique advantage.
I think the relevant distinction that Brian makes is not "political vs not-political" but "relevant or not relevant to the business". It seems they are comfortable engaging on political issues that are directly related to what they are doing. For example, affirmative action is arguably a political topic, but it would be on the table for discussion at Coinbase because it's relevant to how they hire.

I only recently understood that my Coax cables are basically like an RF spectrum similar to Wifi except inside the cables. It appears this is taken as obvious because I had a really hard time finding someone explain it like that.

I bought these boxes which use the Coax at very high frequencies to do Ethernet between sides of my house using MoCa which is used by TiVos and newer set top boxes. I had trouble understanding "how is this secure" when my modem is also connected to the same coax and this is clearly not behind my firewall. Well, of course, you filter out the signal from leaving through the Coax which provides you cable!

I would rather just run ethernet and keep it behind a firewall, but this reduces punching holes in the walls for now.

Essentially no different from Apple’s for MacOS, yes, but a clear deviation from those on iOS:

“The software giant has published 10 principles it’s adopting as promises to app developers, including that it won’t block competing stores on the platform or block specific business models an app may use to make money.

The principles also cover Microsoft holding its own apps to the same standards as competing apps and a commitment to “charge reasonable fees” that are reflective of rival app stores on Windows. Microsoft also says it won’t block apps on Windows based on a developer’s choice of in-app payment systems”

So, on the tablet market, they are quite different from Apple.

I wonder what they would say if they still had a smartphone product.

I don't have a horse in this race, but I always get surprised when people critique responses from high-profile members of organizations.

Have you ever seen a businessperson make a public statement on behalf of a company that espoused or accepted negative/neutral sentiment?

I dunno why people even bother responding or reacting internally to these statements. There's not a human being behind them -- there's a corporate entity who has to answer to stakeholders with a spotlight being shined on them.

It's purely politics and statesmanship, the human being is long gone, or only shows up in private settings after everyone's had several drinks.

Except Elon Musk. That's a man you can, probably, take at his word.

How is it polite to mislead candidates? Surely it can be uncomfortable to hear that you aren't up to par for a job or didn't interview well - but if that is the truth it is better to hear that truth than to hear some platitude about headcount. If I believed the "headcount" story I might invest time waiting to see if headcount opened up, or hold out hope that I'd potentially get an offer. On the other hand, if I heard that I had gaps X, Y, and Z I'd probably start working on X, Y, and Z - or at least think through how I could demonstrate my aptitude in those areas better or mitigate my weakness there and so on.

It's like if your doctor tried to be polite to you by not mentioning some serious disease because he was afraid it would make you feel bad. It might indeed make the candidate feel bad to hear about their (perceived) deficiencies - but if they do hear about it then they can do something about it!
If a recruiter or hiring manage wants to sugar coat a rejection then go for it. It's a coward move, but not a straight up lie.

Telling the candidate that you'll reach back out, and then not doing that, is complete bullshit.

I'm not privy to Google's management thinking but I suspect they made that decision to save time and hit a market window. Android originally used the open source Apache Harmony Java implementation which didn't comply with the Sun (Oracle) Java license for the TCK. If Google had dropped Harmony they would have had to either write their own Java implementation from scratch or license one from another vendor like IBM. They had plenty of resources to pursue those other options but either one would have take more time and allowed Apple to build a lead in the smartphone market. So Google stuck with Harmony and now they're facing the legal consequences.
