I happen to have worked on exactly this at Google. No, we don't train on restrictively-licensed code to the best of our abilities.

This reminded me of one of my high school computer science assignments- simply to find all words in a single boggle board. And try to optimize your solution a bit. The point was to…

Yeah I guess wokeness and cancel culture are what you complain about now when your life is so free from challenges that you have nothing else to complain about.

The burden of proof is on the person making a positive claim. So I didn't think I really needed any more argument than "the article's argument is insufficient for me to believe the…

The evidence presented in the article does not match the claims. The emails they include show that there were meetings between DHS and Twitter and between DHS and Stanford, on the …

Do you feel that a language has to have something at the language level to prevent NPEs? In my experience, Scala does pretty well without it. I guess is your point that the languag…

> 3) Don't transparently download and install stuff without user interaction, regardless of where it comes from! This is an interesting one. I totally get your point. But also user…

> If you buy youtube premium you'll very likely see more ads for youtube premium Really? I have youtube premium and I can't recall seeing ads for it. Why would they advertise a pro…

I'll hedge this by saying I can only speak for the teams I've worked on, plus my somewhat limited understanding of company-wide policies. The answer to both questions is no. If you…

I'm a Google engineer who interacts a little bit with this kind of stuff. There are a few settings for this kind of thing. You can take a look at https://myaccount.google.com/data-…

I think each couple has a slightly different balance on what level of collaborative decision making they can expect, and this is actually a big factor in compatibility. For instanc…

Ah! Thanks for explaining, that makes sense.

I could be wrong (I'm not a finance guy) but this isn't my understanding of how fractional reserve banking works. If Apple deposits $200 billion and the ratio is 1/10, then the ban…

I'm with you 100%. I thought censorship meant "not allowing you to speak". I guess now it means "not actively helping you profit from your speech".

1. I am not sure. This is all just my layman's interpretation. I'll admit I could be very wrong and have no expertise. I'm just discussing. 2. No, in general I believe there's a di…

Roughly, we have three types of color-sensitive cone cells in our eyes. They each have different behavior in terms of how much they "react" to different wavelengths of light. Take …

The tough thing is of course you are right. It's obviously in your best interest to vote against new housing if you own a house. But it's not in society's best interest.

I think some of this might be misinformed. I know Hive can definitely query other datasources like traditional SQL databases, redis, cassandra, hbase, elasticsearch, etc, etc. I th…

It's been about 4 years since I've been in this world, but I remember there being several products all doing a very similar thing: Presto, Hive, SparkSQL, Impala, perhaps some more…

People tend to focus on what has been left out, but think about what they actually did learn about: Drafting from that pool, item and skill builds, last-hitting, creep aggro, lanin…

"keming" is the only one-word joke I know of. Wondering if anyone is aware of any others.

I worked at one (horrible) place where we explicitly only deployed on Friday afternoon. The logic was we have fewer users over the weekend, so if something goes wrong, fewer people…

Nope, doesn't work at all for me either.

I read the article, thought to myself, "let's see how HN finds a way to say this is actually bad for privacy", clicked through to comments here, and was not disappointed. The hivem…
