Do companies have an obligation to be democratic? Are democratic companies common?

Protected classes aside, if I start a company I can choose to hire or exclude whomever I choose. I could start a company that only hires registered Republicans, or only people who can't stand the taste of bananas. If this turns out to be a bad business decision (which it probably is), the market will punish me and I'll eventually lose to smarter competitors. Right?
In your analogy, I view APIs as the equivalent of the ToC of the cookbook rather than the cookbook itself. Unless it still holds that Table of Contents are copyrightable as well (I honestly don't know), the argument won't hold.
His approval has been well tracked by polls that target both likely voters and registered voters with the same 40% +/- 4% result.

Congratulations on the release.
> It was reassuring to see that people from under-represented groups at Coinbase have not taken the exit package in numbers disproportionate to the overall population.

I figured as much. Coinbase sounds like a great place to work if this works out.
Speaking of their servers, their motherboards and chassis seem to be of their own design. Often times these layouts are pretty proprietary and designed exactly around the design of the chassis. They do some level of customization of firmware on the devices they go with, as there's usually Dell firmware on things like hard drives which integrates more with their own management tools. Arguably their software stack of actually managing fleets of their hardware is something they design, along with the actual remote access controller systems they put on the boards.
> When I last checked, MKL was much faster than its competitors

That has never been generally true in my experience measuring over the years. It has been true at times for specific cases, e.g. OpenBLAS until it got avx512 support on a par with MKL (at least for serial DGEMM -- I've forgotten quite how the rest of level 3 goes).

What niche libraries do you think PyTorch is lacking? Do you have some examples of ones that exist in Tensorflow with no PyTorch equivalent?
Generally GPU load scales with resolution and graphical fidelity, while CPU load mostly just scales with framerate irrespective of resolution or graphics settings - so you might be CPU bottlenecked at max settings 1080p with an average CPU and a mid-high end GPU, but even with the current highest end GPUs and a mid range CPU you're likely not bottlenecked by the CPU at 1440p or 4k because the GPU isn't pushing out as many frames.

Great question! We tokenize all secrets and then store the tokens in our database. The raw secrets are stored with our tokenization provider, VGS. When you fetch your secrets, either via our dashboard or CLI, we exchange the token for the raw secret value and then relay that value in our response. This ensures that our infrastructure never persists raw secret values. You can find more information about this process in our Security docs [0].

Thank you! Indeed I am not much of a writer on HN but I love the community.
I think a big part of the problem is that the feature's implementation doesn't always align with the author's intended drafting / published status. The feature just picks the closest outcome that happens to be measurable (e.g. "author typed in draft box in the last 0.5s" or "draft box is not empty string") without regarding how a notification of that measure maps to the social dynamics of IM communication.
Breaking the site guidelines this badly is easily a bannable offense on HN. Worse, we already asked you a few weeks ago not to do it anymore: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24512910.

I'm going to cut you some slack because it looks like your other comments since then have been good, but if you do it again we are going to have to ban you, so please review the rules and stick to them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

> A gay man talking about his wedding around the water cooler is political

Not like "we need to put gay marriage banners on our home page" is political.

I really think people should start respecting the difference.

> All it takes is one person to strongly hold a belief in the office to make it political.

No. It requires them to act on it. To engage in political activity.

It's not political to be a communist at work. It's political to use this belief to steer how the job is done or how the company should perform its mission, or indeed to try to change its mission.

He's more famous for generally being a developer blogger, he was well known here well before Starfighter. I think he always had the most karma before they got rid of 'top'. He was always very open about his bingo card creator software, and then his appointment reminder sass. His yearly round up of BCC was always a top voted post.

Afaik he originally became well known for his helpful posts and advice on Joel Spolsky's business of software forums before HN even existed. That's where I first came across him, useful info about SEO.

This is a long way of saying I thought he'd been hired as a developer advocate for their startup thing, Stripe Atlas, rather than a recruitment advisor.

Edit: It's on his blog that he was hired for Stripe Atlas https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/09/09/im-joining-stripe-to-wo...

Indeed it's quite ridiculous. What they mean to say is that the DNC would be center-right in Europe, which is an incredibly Euro-centric way to look at the world. In reality, if you consider the actual bulk of the planet, which would include mainly China and India, the DNC and RNC dichotomy is rather unclassifiable.
i used pytorch lightning back in may when i was working on pretraining gpt2 on TPUs (https://bkkaggle.github.io/blog/nlp-research-part-2/). it was really impressive how stable it was especially given how a lot of features were still being added at a very fast pace.

also, this was probably the first (and maybe still is?) high-level pytorch library that let you train on tpus without a lot of refactoring and bugs which was a really nice thing to be able to do given how the pytorch-xla api was still unstable at that point. <3
I loved this feature when I first experienced it in Google Wave. I don't think it belongs everywhere, but exactly as the article author says, it makes the conversation feel smoother and more like I am actually talking to someone in real life because I can think about what they are saying as they are typing it.

In a real life conversation, you digest in real time as you hear the other person. You don't have to wait for chunks of their thoughts.
Ah right, the soft ethno-nationalism of implying that the only 'real countries' are the western democratic ones.... great...
I don’t see how having article III remedies addresses the separation of powers issue. It just means you can kinda maybe fix up the damage afterward.

I think it’s fair to ask how far a non-delegation principle should go. There is clearly a continuum between legislation and enforcement discretion. But does that mean we should have no non-delegation principle at all? Is there a definable middle ground between Congress leaving it to executive discretion address technical minutea and Congress delegating oversight over entire sections of the economy to unelected bodies that can serve as judge, jury, and executioner?

There are ways to maintain an administrative state without stuffing everything into the executive branch: https://www.theregreview.org/2019/12/18/rappaport-stronger-s...

Several. Pulling out of the Paris climate accords is one such policy. Prohibition on further nuclear power plant building. Policy of subsidies for coal power plants. Current policies regarding vehicle efficiency requirements that amongst other things let you classify your 8 mpg SUV or pickup that you drive all by yourself as a light truck instead of a commuter vehicle that it actually is which lets it legally be on the road with its dismal emissions rating. Keystone pipeline. Rolling back environmental regulations. Removing the words “climate change” and “science” from the EPA website because this administration finds science inconvenient. Prohibition on studying climate change by NASA as well as putting gag orders on any other agency from NASA to EPA to CDC on talking about it. Public policy of denying climate change (see last night’s debate as a prime example). Want me to keep going?

Fires are burning not because we have too much forest (though of course finding better forest management instead of Wall Street would be a much better investment). They are burning because global warming (climate change was a conservative TV talking about because they used the fact that global warming could include local cooling to confuse the matter) means longer dry seasons, draughts, lots of dry underbrush. Wildfires have always been a thing. Wildfires that span such areas and can’t be put out like this have not existed on this scale in recorded human history. Those who pretend that this isn’t happening should put a plastic bag with a large zip tie over their heads and tell us how they can breathe just fine in there. It will be just as effective at not suffocating as continuing down this path for another 10-20 years.
> illicit money

there's something conceptually wrong about this.

currency is supposed to be fungible. 'good money' and 'bad money' are incompatible with fungible currency.
I think our best bet to end the duopoly of Apple and Google is to have a cross-platform language that runs on all platforms (iOS, Android, and perhaps the web).

The reason is that there will otherwise be important apps that never end on anything other than Apple or Google OSes, like (for example) bank applications, government apps (for taxes, alerts, covid tracking), perhaps things like netflix or perhaps the BBC news app.

Also, why would developers spend time developing for an open platform, when they can make 10X the amount of money on the closed platforms?

So effectively, we need the spirit of the web, but in the app stores.

(I know, this sounds a bit like embrace, extend and extinguish; but this time it's from the "good" side :)

Whoa can you please not break the site guidelines like this, regardless of how wrong or un-smart someone is or you feel they are? Taking nasty shots at other users is the fastest way to poison the commons, and entirely unnecessary.

I don't think your comment is entirely true. For example I think a lot of purchases of the Bernie Sanders flavored ice cream from Ben & Jerry's had nothing to do with the actual taste of the ice cream.

Not patio11 but you can still evaluate something like net preset value by doing discount to the eventual liquidity event. In reality this is complicated as you need to assign probabilities to (1) when liquidity event can occur (2) real value of your equity at the event (3) discount rate.

While estimating probability distributions is probably beyond what one can do without detailed inside knowledge (and even then), it's useful to think of a number of stories, eg: target_co will ipo in 3 years at 2x last raised value, target_co will ipo in 5 year at last raise, target_co will be acquired at 0.1x last raise in 8 years (what is the overhang?); let's say all at equal probabilities. For discount rate you can think of alternative places where you could work (eg. alternative_public_co will grow at -10, +20, +30% yoy with equal probability) + time value of not being able to liquidate (let's say another 10%).

This will give you some range of numbers to consider.
Thus why I wish TJ had a better history curriculum. Its truly terrible that such a strong school is graduating people off two years of history, one of which is designed by the College Board.

Thinking nothing of the historical objects around us is not terrible. Most people are ignorant of most things, lord knows I am. A problem arises when people insist that defending confederate statues is protecting history, when if you went and asked the people who actually do history for a living they'd fairly universally disagree.

As for Unite the Right, I'd agree with you that there are people who want the statues to stay up and aren't white supremacists. However, it would not be possible to spend a few hours marching at Unite the Right and not notice the literal Nazi flags, the speakers giving speeches about whiteness, and the marchers shouting "gas the k--es, race war now". At that point, I'd expect an ignorant defender of confederate statues to think "wow, I've made a big mistake" and leave.
I was referring to the actual Docker service startup time for Windows. Once it is started, of course it is going to be much faster. I'm getting half that on Linux on an computer from 2012.
Oh, I'll give you "definitely present". My claim is precisely that "many" is an overreach.
Seems like it could be compared to breaking up a monopoly. When there's one player in town (Java & Android in the two examples I used), any competing ideas never get a chance to succeed: we're still using variations of Java, probably at this point for historical reasons, and Purism etc. is having a real rough go of it. Look at the failed attempts at competing OSes that various phone manufacturers put out. There were some duds, but I mentioned two that could have given Andriod a run for its money if there were more fragmentation in the market - and I think that would have been better for consumers.

> arguing that there is less innovation in programming because you don't own the rights to function names is ridiculous

I applaud the rhetorical flourish, but I think it misses the point. It's not the cause of the fragmentation, but the fragmentation caused by the lost rights that improves the innovation.
That's might be fine. Anyway, you need to retrain your models quite often due to the concept drift. Solving data problems like this is just a part of model retraining (and concept drift).

It is absurd that "judges" should be in the position to judge issues which they have no understanding of. I would bet that at least some of the members of the Supreme Court do not even know how to check and send email. In the same way they depend on others to perform basic and advanced computer tasks, they should depend on a "jury" of tech experts to filter the cases and provide suggestions or hopefully reasonable analogies to concepts the judges can comprehend.

But now, on the topic of copyrighting APIs... it's stupid, and it's protectionist, and it's the kind of thing a company does when they can't compete or want to try to block competition. Most types of copyright are bogus for the same reasons. Not only is there the strong possibility of more than one person coming up with the same idea at approximately the same time, in different places, but very few ideas are truly unique or revolutionary. Instead, it becomes a race to see who can copyright (or patent) something first - either defensively or with future hopes of preventing competition or extracting payment from a competitor.

If modern copyright and patent law had always existed, humanity would be decades or perhaps centuries behind where it is now.
You seem to know a lot about the difference of approach between waymo and tesla. Do you have any links that would give more on that ?
At my work we simply do not have qualified black people applying very often. At all. We have one single black person in the 50ish management roles because that is all that we could hire. Our problem isn't with them being rejected or discrimination during interviews, but simply that we cannot hire a person who doesn't apply for an open position. Black people are not applying to our company. Does that make us non equal opportunity or discriminating for hiring 98% non-black workers?
I do really like the TOC argument. If I were to take the TOC from another book. Copy only the TOC, write all the chapters and sub-chapters without having even read the other book (only the TOC).

Suppose then, than I publish the book explicitly as a replacement for the other book. Not as in "this is the same" but as in "if you find a reference to a chapter in the other book, you can also just look here". Would that be copyright infringement?

What happens if I do this to a technical document (think a 3gppp spec) where the TOC runs for 10 pages for a 300 page document, with headings nested 5 deep?

So they started voting for the people responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow laws thinking they were going to making things better? Honest question, are you high or just incredibly naive? Secondly, in 1860s republicans freed the slaves and in 1960s they passed civil rights despite democrats voting against it. Thats 100 years of progress so what are you talking about? What did the democrats do other than burn crosses?

Standing for dismantling racism is always correct, but that's distinct from explicitly stating support for the Black Lives Matter political organization.

If you don't agree with some of their stated objectives, tactics, leadership, it should be OK to refuse to offer support, and that doesn't automatically imply a tacit support of racism, and it doesn't automatically imply resistance to lower-case black lives matter.

Bay area resident here. My kids can't go to school. I barely go to the store. Even going for a walk is tricky, as unless you take massive precautions (which I'm fine with, btw) everyone yells at you.

>For example, recipes are not individually copyrightable, but if you compile a set of recipes and publish them in a cookbook, the cookbook itself becomes copyrightable.

Recipes that contains more than just the basic list of ingredients and instructions can be copyrightable. Include a picture, illustration or a bit of creative text and copyright will apply on that. That's the true reason why cookbooks fall under copyright (while the actual list of ingredients and instructions do not, which people do lift out of cookbooks for example).

Even when applying copyright to an "arrangement" of items that are not copyrightable, as in a database, there needs to be creativity expressed, otherwise it will not qualify for copyright.
