    Startup Databricks

    At what point does it stop being a step start-up? Because AFAIK their income must be in the hundreds of millions at least.

      They call ANYTHING a Start-up. 15 years old company? Obviously a start-up.

        Databricks would be more accurately called a “venture backed pre-IPO growth company.” But saying “startup” is shorter and tends to get used more to convey the same basic idea.

    Now that Reddit is dead, does anybody know where to go to discuss AI models?

      What is the point of this comment? Are you just being racist and insulting Black people?

        Guy Person is a racist troll.

        Databricks is in the top 35% of similar companies in terms of diversity. So really I guess if they were trying to say this was an achievement without people of color and diversity I’d guess they just self owned themselves since in fact it’s considered diverse in its field.

        Edit: I shouldn’t use gender assumption language even though guy is fairly gender neutral where I am (you guys).

          i bet your bank account is in a bad state too and there’s no black person in it. focus on problems at hand, races are a proxy problem for stupid people. you’re being controlled.

      The problem with this argument is that by not fixing the issues created by slavery and centuries of oppression you aren’t really doing a merit based system. And to imply that black people are not as smart as white people has no basis in reality.
