June (https://juneoven.com/) is hiring! | Full-time | SF

June is a team on a mission to transform the kitchen. Our first product is the June Intelligent Oven. A built-in camera and sensors makes June able to identify commonly cooked foods, recommend a cooking program and execute to perfection. With a touch screen, instant-on carbon fiber heating elements, advanced moulded insulation and a finely tuned cooking cavity, we’re bringing restaurant-level performance to the home.

We're looking for Software and Hardware engineers.

Ask HN: Understanding software that was made because previous ones didn't work?
I understand that I might not be stating the question correctly, so here are a few examples. Consider Docker, it was created to reduce the efforts of CI, CD over previous solutions, but for someone who is just starting to do deployment, how would he understand those issues and decide if that is really required. Or consider MongoDB (NoSQL), which was created to tackles the large-scale SQL indexing issues, but for someone who hadn't seen them, what should they choose. Or React (Shadow DOM). Or Kafka/Heron. All these new technologies are required for a good job profile, so learning them is certainly important for a developer. But without an understanding the issues that people had previously, how can one fully grasp the motivation for creating these technologies.
It's an analagous moral hazard, though. Even if bringing a bank down threatens the banking system, it must be done otherwise banks act with impunity. It's little different with bankers and "stupid and illogical law" - if we rely on discretion for which laws we apply, then we're entirely corrupt. We must apply the laws we have and live with the consequences, otherwise we don't live in a lawful society.

I see this as an absolute. I don't really see how it can be otherwise.
I think I've seen projects that put sensors on delivery vehicles... not a nice group formation, but at least it linearly covers a lot of areas at different times of day.

Theranos CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, Worth “nothing,” According to Forbes
"A well-­rounded liberal arts degree establishes a foundation of critical thinking."

There are enough truly bad Liberal Arts degrees out there that the more difficult ones (philosophy and economics spring to mind, at least at my school) get dinged by proximity. What people are really worried about hiring is someone with four years of multiple choice and BSssays under their belt - that is, experience only in perverting performance metrics. A college experience like that is almost impossible in STEM, rare in a few LA fields and extremely common in the rest.

Also: taking the initiative to learn to program and switch careers is a strong signal that you weren't one of the people who tried to engineer their good school into behaving like a degree mill.

Technically, yes they could. And if the private sector really is more efficient, they shouldn't need the whole 50 billion. I guess what I'm saying is it would be an interesting novel that I hope never happens in real life.
In my humble opinion, it really depends on what you're programming:

3D Gaming engine: A genius with lots of CS training/education.

Simple business app with weird rules that requires a lot of customer feedback: A kind-hearted person who can listen and noodle around and is tenacious.

Do you think Google's French office has 500 billion in resources? You can't compare the worth/resources of the entire company of Google worldwide to a branch of the French government. You either compare the local Google office to the French tax office or the country of France to the worldwide company of Google. Otherwise it's just designed to be deceitful.

Additionally, Google doesn't get to show up with armed men and take things out of the offices of the French government.
Personally, I hate it. I only use google when DuckDuckGo results aren't up to date yet and every time I do I'm reminded of how much I have to fight with the search engine (have to do search tools -> verbatim half the time)

In illumos, a descendant of (Open)Solaris, we have a first class container primitive called "zones". In SmartOS, the Joyent-backed distribution of illumos, we also have support for running an entire Linux userland (e.g. Ubuntu or CentOS) in this substrate.

You can have the best of both worlds: a secure container substrate, designed from the ground up as a coherent whole like Jails; and the vast packaging ecosystem provided by Ubuntu.

Screw that. I'm not paying for an article before I even know whether it's hacky garbage or actual journalism.

As if the temptation for these sites to pump out clickbait isn't bad enough as it is....

Unless you mean a completely passive option to give them a "tip" so to speak.

In which case I'm not saying it's a bad idea but how is that any different than donating once a year to NPR and PBS during their "Oh-God-Kill-Me-Now-athons."
Or in the case of for-profit sites, paying for however many months of subscription fees you feel is appropriate for the value you received.
This ( using unused bits of addresses ) was a terrible idea at the time and it's a terrible idea still.
I think if it were a Netflix for content websites, I'd pay one low monthly fee to have unlimited views of second rate websites. If I want to read big-name articles, for a bit more money, they'll ship me paper copies of the articles I want to view, but I'd have to return them when I'm done.
#1) Yes, if you give someone with no prior experience 40mg, that's going to have a significant effect. Someone who's prescribed that amount is done so because they've built up a tolerance. Just because 40mg may be an appropriate therapeutic dosage for one person doesn't mean it's considered a therapeutic dosage for everyone. Also, you said this was the amount per day that was prescribed; are they taking one dose of XR or two doses of non-XR? 60mg per day sounds very high for someone taking one dose of XR (15-30mg is much more common), but if it's really 2 doses of 30mg of non-XR, then that's different.

#2) I agree that ADHD is a complex subject and diagnosing is hard. However, given that something like 80% of people with ADHD show improvement with amphetamines, I'm not sure what the point is of this line of argument. Even if ADHD really is a cluster of similar issues, if they all can be treated the same way, then it doesn't really matter whether it's a single issue or multiple.

I'm not sure why you're trying to draw a comparison with depression. The only real connection here is that they're both psychiatric diagnoses, but beyond that they're not the same at all.

> But I doubt you can find me any study showing that we've ever seen so many people on high-dose daily amphetamines from a young age through adulthood until the past decade or so.

That's completely irrelevant. Why would you want a study looking at the number of people being prescribed? There's nothing you can conclude from the fact that more people are taking it now than before, because the number of people taking it has no relevance to its long-term effects. All that really matters is whether a statistically significant number of people have been taking it, and that's certainly been true.
I run Debian Testing and FreeBSD 10. I haven't found too much from Debian that I can't get in FreeBSD 10. I could even run a Debian/kFreeBSD jail if I really wanted to.

What really does my head in is that a default Debian install can pull down 2 megabytes a second from a server over SFTP, and a default FreeBSD 10 server can only do ~800 kilobytes per second (FreeBSD 9 was worse).
There was the recent article about how ridership has risen, which signaled great public transport stuff in the US.

Digging only slightly deeper, it was evident that if you took the massive rise in NYC public transportation out, public transportation in the rest of the US, including LA, actually dropped, despite the money being spent on it.

The reason while not established, appears to be because instead of making existing systems more reliable, and better connected, the money has been spent on vanity projects. An isolated light rail here, and a Park and Ride which doesn't connect to anything there.
I've cut out Google virtually entirely.

I use DDG as my primary search provider (and have now for years) it works quite well, has bang searches, and just added date-based search filtering, my most-wanted feature.

I avoid use of Google products where logged in, generally, simply because getting social nags etcetera when doing other shit is annoying as fuck. Plus bubbling and filtering.

There are still Google tools I use. Scholar, Books (though Worldcat is better for general "who published stuff), and NGram Viewer.

Otherwise, I've been sliding from Google services for quite a while.

Someone who majored in liberal arts but is able to themselves to code is likely to be an intelligent and motivated individual. I suspect that more readily explains the successes of these individuals than their liberal arts studies.

It's also my personal observation that someone's college major has no bearing on their ability to think critically.

I believe this wasn't in reference to advertisers and seems rather similar to your proposal in theory. I'm unsure about the prices that will actually make sense for them to drop advertising completely though...
Great points, but, remember that executive behavior is a by-product of the company culture and environment. I've seen high-ups afraid to make these important strategic decisions in a timely fashion that were rightfully worried. Sadly, some people do not share the sentiment that failure can be just another data point and reward it harshly.
This is a slight tangent, but I don't even like the fact that what I see when I type something into Google may not be what others see. I think the inconvenience of having to type "order pizza in $city" rather than just "order pizza" is more than outweighed by not kind of destroying "consensus reality" as far as it pertains to search results, not to mention the potential for really creepy things down the line. It's not something that bothers me terribly by itself, it may not be important yet, I just don't like the precedent and idea of it.

And Facebook just can't seem to remember that I never am interested in whatever it considers "top stories", but always, every time I log on, switch it to "most recent". Not that I know that I actually get all the most recent stuff, but on top of that Facebook is clearly telling me it would prefer me to see its own curation of it, even though I obviously have no interest in that. That this option doesn't stick seems like the intended behaviour, and I consider that yet another hostile aspect of it. So I'll assume whatever they're now doing instead of a UI that deserves the title, it will understand text just fine when it suits advertisers, and will be useless otherwise. Not a claim, but a guess.
And then the endpoints integrate with ad networks after they've distilled it into topics.

I mean, my message contents are personal data. The topics "buy a bike" and "sell a bike" are not (I mean, not by themselves), so those you can transmit to ad companies.

Now of course you need to make the detection lightweight enough that you don't need to talk to the server anymore, but that's just a matter of time. The person you're responding to, who's got downvoted, has a point (if this was his point).

Edit: I sounded like I agreed with it, which is not the case. Even if it's stored "private and securely" at Facebook, they would still be able to connect my topics of interest with my identity and contacts, which would "technically" comply with the concept of end to end encryption (only metadata leaks because topics alone are metadata, which always happens because you need to route messages)... but which still doesn't comply with my own definition of proper privacy.

It's just like it's like reading the Lord of the Rings or the Bible. There is this book. It is really important to its fandom. It's affected everything else. It has massive scale and scope. Your feeling is that it's not going to be a light read.

So far I'm intimidated into skulking around the edges but hopefully not for long.

Bravo explorer!

You know even if we only got an PKI going that would be revolutionary. The 'modern' world hasn't a hope in hell of achieving that any time this century.
Actually this would be genuinely great.

Also would be cool if (maybe) we could use some sort of format for basic things.
I don’t want to create new rules, this thread is good as it is. But If people want to use things like multiple locations, job title, company name I can make it happen.

Those degrees aren't worth their cost.

A better recommendation, and a path that some STEM students have already taken, is independent study of the Liberal Arts curriculum.

Unfortunately, even if you do this, you will still have to deal with condescending fools telling you that you can't see the forest from the trees, and are constrained by memorizing commands or syntax.

The fact of the matter is that you have no critical thinking skills, can't see the big picture and lack the soft skills – the people skills – that help to understand customers and bring the staff along. Everybody here can see it, why can't you? You'll never make anything of yourself, nerd.

(Those quotes are directly from the article. It's super condescending towards STEM people. No better than similar articles aimed at Liberal Arts students.)

> So... tell me where I'm wrong here ( please! ).

Okay, here's where you're wrong:

> The principal manner in which our use of fossil fuels is expressed is that there were 1B people in 1790 and now there are 7B.

Well, no. Obviously, population growth has an impact on fossil fuel consumption and CO2 production, but the amount of either per capita has decidedly not been constant over the 1790 to 2016 period, so population change is not the "principal manner in which our use of fossil fuels is expressed".

> The "good" news is that birth rates appear to be declining in regions which are not reminiscent of Malthusian heck-holes.

The other good news is that per capita CO2 emissions are also dropping in the developed world. (The bad news is that the developing world is a lot bigger, and per capita CO2 emissions are growing there, because any gains there might be from better energy sources are dwarfed by increased energy usage with economic development.)
Any resources you found helpful? A google search on "hoon tutorial" seems to produce mainly urbit.org broken links. Does one need a galaxy/invite/whatever to be able to build it and play with it?

Good point. However, it is a huge operational risk to rely on on-demand hires for logistics. In addition, ride-sharing works because humans are moved with a given market price given by the taxi network. In logistics you compete not only against UPS and FedEx but with Amazon as well.

You'll need custom logic with in-depth knowledge of the mapping. In many cases the idiom mentions by "kazinator" above will often work - but not always:

#define ptrToInt(x) ( ((char )x) - ( (char )0 ) );

... and even that may require local tweaking.
To control the money supply. It's true that the government don't need to directly fund all spending with taxes, but if more money is issued than collected, the amount of money in circulation increases and the currency devalues. Obviously this should be avoided as the more the currency you're printing is worth, the better off you are.

So practically speaking, you do have to fund expenditures with taxes. You can't just create value out of thin air.
