How does Fi work with family plans?

Currently paying $140 on T-Mobile for 4 unlimited lines with unlimited international 3G roaming (good enough for maps and music) and other misc. benefits (half-off phones, free Netflix, unlimited in-flight wi-fi).
I used OpenBGPD it first around 2012.
In moment I have OpenBGPD instance with 4 x full table, so that "nothing else can handle the full BGP tables" isn't simply true. Thats not forwarding instance though, I use it as looking glass.
If I see a position that has been open for longer than a month, I assume they are not serious about filling it. Either they aren't really hiring or they don't want to pay the market rate.
Cutting emissions may prevent tens of thousands of extreme heat deaths annually
I imagine Gmail can't be killed off because it's too big and too many people rely on it, so pulling the plug on it would be like killing a part of the Internet's infrastructure?
I guess it depends on how many people you add to your family plan. The more people you add the cheaper it gets
Allegedly you don't get throttled until you exceed 15GB.
Nuxt handles this issue nicely imho.
No problem, but to be honest, not even here you will find good advice and even my advice is very bad. I think this is the reasoning we should have in general when investing. I bet you worked your ass off to save that money on your own and would be bad to lose it. Any advice is bad, everything should be taken with a truckload of salt.
Some places are more explicit. There's a "no laptops" café movement now.

One where I live has a "no laptops at mealtimes" sign. If you get out a laptop, they ask you to leave. If you come during a quiet period, get out a laptop, and are still using it when reaches a mealtime, they ask you to put it away.

To be fair they do really good food, it's always packed at mealtimes, and they explain their policy is because they want to make a place where people appreciate food and conversation.

I like them and wouldn't want them to shut down.

Another place doesn't have a sign. I sat down and ordered a proper meal. Then I got my laptop out. I needed to work for the next couple of hours. Table space wasn't a problem, and it wasn't an especially posh place.

After I'd been working for 20 minutes, a waiter came over to tell me I'd have to put the laptop away. After a rather awkward conversation we agreed I could cancel my already ordered (and presumably partly cooked) meal, because I'd have to go and find another restaurant.

I won't mind so much if that one is replaced.
Really faster than react? Having a hard time with that one...
Don't be so morbid. If you have a rich family, you can get plenty of capital without anyone dying.
That's fine for jQuery, Bootstrap etc, however most modern frameworks are bundled into a single package with all of the templates and logic, making a shared CDN useless.

It would be interesting to see some benchmarks of a cached CDN Angular file and non-cached template/logic file, however lots of other sites would have to jump on board to get the cached file into users' browsers reliably.
Wonderful. Make the inevitable layoff be that much more psychologically damaging.
Hope they will offer a family plan in the future. The roaming is definitely tempting...
What should these be called? Context-free expressions?
What did you say “I love being an American” in response to? And did you say just that or was there more to it?

And how exactly did they shun you?
And conversely they would also have to learn these JS frameworks, right? Something like Angular is far harder to master (and debug) then server side rendering.
You can also set multiple timers on the Echo by giving them names.

"Computer, set a 20 minute timer for rice"

"Computer, set a 10 minute timer for vegetables"

Then you can query it:

"Computer, how much time is left on my rice timer?"
FDA promised a ‘lower-cost option’ to EpiPen, but the price isn’t any lower
From my experience, it seems like you'd have to jump through a few hoops to get prefetching working with Turbolinks. I just relied on having my service worker do all of the prefetching/caching of the site's important pages + static assets.
Speed depends upon the place you live. I used to get around 30 - 35 Mbps while I visited Tamil Nadu. On the other hand I hardly gets 1 Mbps speed in my home town.
After having service with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Google Fi, I can say I like Fi the best. I'm almost always on wifi, and when I'm not it's because I'm traveling. My monthly bill is about half what it was when I was on T-Mobile, and the coverage is much better (plus voice+SMS over wifi). It's definitely not for people who rely on LTE all day long, but if you're mostly going from home to work under a wifi cloud all day, with some traveling overseas a few times a year, it's perfect.
You've done this before with friends and family?
Not if you can get on a family plan.

T-Mobile has unlimited data for $40/line for 4 lines, if everyone uses at least 2 GB that makes more sense.
Very cool. From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charanjit_Singh_(musician)

Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, an album of original electronic disco compositions Singh recorded in 1982, was a commercial failure at the time of its original release, but its re-discovery in 2002 and re-issue in early 2010 garnered attention due to its pioneering of a new style of dance music later known as the acid house genre of the late 1980s. Since then, certain commentators in the music press have recast Singh as an originator of acid house music. He also used the same drum machine and synthesizers for his experimental electronic calypso record, Experiments in Calypso.
> There are a wide variety of experiences to be had at the academy.

Agreed!—but the use of the term 'academic' in this way suggests it's a universal experience. (I've never heard anyone use 'academic' to mean exciting and invigourating intellectual exploration!) I don't argue with it, as I know that's the way language goes; it just makes me sad, and, I imagine, shapes the expectations, and then to some extent even the experiences, of my students.
If by "business" you mean buying a coffee in exchange of several hours of free internet, electricity and real estate, then it is sort of understandable why many places don't encourage this kind of "business".

Some places do, and you have all the reasons in the world to favor these places as they match your needs, but it seems kind of silly expecting that every place should cater to every type of customer.
That's part of the issue. MRI manufacturers "assisting" people through the process of this certificate.
Couldn't SSR with later JS hydration be just as effective at getting instant startup?
The majority may want a few projects that cost relatively little, but they clearly don't want as much as people in other cities that spend more on public transit and have more public transit infrastructure per capita. In other words, I'm sure the majority is in favor of some public transit as an alternative, but the bar is far lower for being an alternative.

Also, it goes without saying that LA County is not representative of "California culture."
A good chunk of that is phone payments, not the actual service cost.
Can you paste some of the 8 cent Indian offers here? I’m very curious.
Both companies can informally be referred to as "Google." One because it runs the search engine. The other because it was known as Google until a few years ago, owns the search engine, trades as "GOOG," and a variety of reasons. It would be more misleading to refer to them as Alphabet, as everybody knows them as Google.
I associate NIMBYs with going against things that improve a neighborhood. I don’t think that includes all types of resistance.
I get that its multi-carrier, but two of its 3 carriers are merging, and the 3rd carrier isn't nationwide (they have great coverage in some areas, and use 'partners' in other regions).. Really curious how the T-Mobile Sprint Merger will affect Fi.

And infecting one species with a bacteria that alter's their reproductive system could never transfer to animals that consumes them?

Before reinventing the wheel, why not look at Florida's century long research into controlling mosquito transmitted diseases? All the failures and successes. The chemicals used only affect certain hormones that occur in mosquito life cycles and have not been found in other critters. Even with that, they use it as sparingly as possible. Only if larva and pupa populations are in excess of normal levels. "Outbreaks" are considered in the single digits in a week's span. And when they do occur, they're dealt with swiftly.

Just because you can't see the domino at the end of the line, doesn't mean it won't fall. I have no faith in silicon valley corporations. They've built themselves up on the platform that "We know best". What's worse, they believe their own bullshit.
Cars fill the capacity of the roads. LA will just get more cars.

LA deserves better public transit.
It's in vogue in Silicon Valley to bias hiring standards in order to get more "equality" on the other side.
Anyone know what kind of ARM license Amazon has? Just a processor license or a full architecture license? I'm curious if Amazon is doing the actual CPU design.
Well assuming you were to take an MRI test once a month I think you could start to read the data after 1 year and be able to infer with AI the velocity/acceleration of any change in the person?
Why? Show me the math.
Are you sure "You’re just ignoring the evidence that’s right in front of you" is a personal attack?
Thanks! There’s so much that I didn’t even cover. It’s been a great year :)
Facebook must police Today In, its local news digest launching in 400 cities
> It seems to me that the next logical step is a site that ships the initial page request in vanilla JS, then async loads react

Or just vanilla HTML. (That initial "vanilla JS" needs to get evaluated in some page context anyway...)
Historically that was a major security issue. It’s less of an issue now that SRI exists (you’re using SRI, right?), but it’s still a problem when you have a broken pathway to the CDN but your site loads OK. Well, assuming you’re not building with progressive enhancement. You’re building with progressive enhancement right?
I was at some raves with YOU :)
It simply isn't for high data usage no matter how you slice it.

You're calculating the prices based on hitting the data ceiling on Fi every month, if you are hitting the ceiling that often then you shouldn't be on Fi. T-Mobile's family offering is likely better value for true unlimited.

In general I agree Fi isn't great for families, because kids often consume a ton of data. It might be good for a spouses if both parties don't use much data.
Yes, and it's back!

We’re you using a local sim or or international plan? International plan users get kinda screwed with speeds. Was just in France with T-Mobile and service was horrible there too.
Please stop using gzip size for these sorts of comparisons. One, gzip affects download speed, but not JS evaluation and compilation. Two, it makes the libraries seem much smaller than they actually are.
To the best of my knowledge, you are correct that every US city is horrible in this regard. This was not by accident.

To your comment "If we know it works how come no one has done it? " -

1) We have done it. Amsterdam fought like hell for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuBdf9jYj7o . Now they have one of the finest cities in the world in which to move about.

Copenhagen at rush hour handles loads of people well because they have built systems that move people efficiently and safely. And pleasantly. Even driving there is nice, paradoxically.

https://twitter.com/Pidge/status/1064443820245422080

2) People fight it because they believe they should be able to drive anywhere they like, for free, and without interruption - and then even store their car for free as well! The ideal situation is to be the only driver, but of course that only works if driving is very expensive (something I support).

In LA people are so furious at the idea of not being able to drive everywhere they shout down (almost) anything resembling progress. Things like Elon's tunnel are used as ammunition in these fights. After all, why should we build bike lanes when we're getting these kickass tunnels!?? This is part of why I left LA.

As for your latter point - yes, it is very much my concern. We have similar views regarding Facebook and Co. but given that Elon's tunnels are unlikely to actually make life better (note my earlier comment regarding induced demand) this is taking resources from actual solutions we could do right now, cheaply, and that we know work.
To better make sense of this data it needs to be compared against the time needed to build a non-trivial interface using each of the frameworks.
Exactly. I avoid JS as much as possible. Unfortunately most of web developers want to develop SPAs regardless of the actual need of the projects.
They're definitely using stock A72 cores now. Amazon is very secretive so we won't know if they're designing their own cores until they ship. (Unless they post job openings for "custom ARM core designer".)
I worry about Google spying on me, but I'm extremely pleased with Fi. It's followed me all over the world from the UK, France, Germany, China, and Singapore, as well as all over the USA in major cities and deserted areas as well.

Annnnd... it's really easy to integrate with Jolly Roger Phone Company which makes for some good laughs.
Ask HN: Have you ever done a Phd in CS remotely/part time?
I am planning to do a Phd in Computer Science. But I have a full time job and can't afford to do a Phd full time. Is it possible to do a Phd parttime remotely either in the US or outside? What are the options?
Amusingly enough, his charts & images don’t display without JavaScript. Are they interactive, or is he himself using JavaScript when a simple img tag would suffice?

It depends. ML or ATS code can perform faster than hand-written C code, despite the fact both MLton and ATS compilers actually generate C code, effectively adding the layers of abstractions.

And you can have the verification for free also.

> We introduce a new approach for implementing cryptographic arithmetic in short high-level code with machine-checked proofs of functional correctness. We further demonstrate that simple partial evaluation is sufficient to transform into the fastest-known C code, breaking the decades-old pattern that the only fast implementations are those whose instruction-level steps were written out by hand.

Does it also affect caching via service workers? Pretty standard practice in PWAs.

Ask HN: Where do Software Engineers go for guidance? (Survey)
Hey everyone,

Clubhouse (http://clubhouse.io) is looking for Software Engineers / Developers to answer a short (~10min) survey on their browsing / media consumption habits, particularly as they relate to their fields of expertise.

Participation enters folks into a draw for a $500 Amazon gift card - very helpful for the holidays coming up!

Survey is here: http://clbh.se/nSfe50jNomH
If you have a world-altering idea, and you want to alter the world, but you don't actually like to do the work (which is what Cuban was warning about), then don't build a company -- tell people your idea (try to sell it if you want, but if you don't like doing the work of selling, just give it away) and let someone who wants to the work do the work.

This is how academics and think-tanks and pundits operate.

Of course, what you'll find is that ideas are a dime a dozen and yours likely aren't novel. Execution is the best vehicle does changing the world, and it doesn't matter whose ideas you execute on; what matters is that you like executing.
Apropos my last comment, it was also around the time of "Fun With Grapes" which originally lived here:

I look forward to the day we stop trying to change the world and instead change ourselves (which will, of course, end up changing the world).
I took a local T mobile sim. I was hardly able to do anything meaningful with the mobile data plan.

I would say, just brief them at the start "I might fire you tomorrow, go in expecting that, we'll set you up something else if I do. Don't rely on this." Kind of like the way you lend money to friends.

That said, you probably shouldn't lend money to friends.
“Useful”?
I'm assuming you didn't read the article? He was comparing react + redux + react-router using create-react-app compared to Angular. So it is an apples to apples comparison.
I think that's a fair characterization. There's no single thing that I would be a huge problem if the Echo stopped working, but all of the little things together would add up to a major bummer.

For my family, one of the best features is the shopping list via the AnyList skill. We say "echo, add butter to my shopping list" and it gets added to the AnyList app in the correct category. Next time we are at the store, I pull up AnyList and can see my entire shopping list. For a single person, it might not be a big deal, but it's works very well for a family.
> Since a lot of the work is stateful and difficult to parallelize, doing it on CPU will probably be faster, that way you only pay the latency to jump to the GPU once.

You can still easily cache the glyphs post processed, especially if you don’t use subpixel AA. There isn’t that much state to a scrollback buffer post glyph processing.

I don’t get the resistance to this type of rendering when at this point there are at least three major monospace glyph rendering libraries implemented for the GPU, and I bet there are dozens I don’t know about.
I wonder how much bootup time Ember.js takes nowadays. I mean, a few years back Ember was probably the worst when it came to initial loading times (it has other strengths), but I heard it got better over the years.

I essentially never use data. I haven't used more than 50mb in years because I am always within wifi range or only using my phones for SMS and phonecalls.

I don't know why cellphone service is so expensive in the US, but it seems difficult to find anything cheaper than $20 a month. Typical plans here for a single user and ~10gb of data is going to be $40-$60 a month.
Definitely agree
Hasn't HN grown quite a bit in recent years? I would assume that would pull the average age down.
> Who do IP's benefit? Not the consumer, only the already super wealthy. Hint: the very large majority of the world is not wealthy.

I'm no fan of copyright or software patents, but that's a bit too simple. Good R&D is complicated and favours highly educated/skilled workers. Even if you don't like companies, it's quite unfair that people who have have spent a long time becoming domain experts should lose their livelihood because of outside forces breaking the law - international law mind (AFAIK).

The myth is the misinterpretation of the actual research; the myth is swapping "worst" for "median" in the comparison. The post in question makes this mistake; it compares best to "mediocre", but the actual page it references in support of itself gets it right, comparing best to worst.

A 2nd edition of Peopleware summarises it; the 10x programmer is not a myth, but it's comparing the best to the worst; NOT best to median. It's also not about programming specifically; it's simply a common distribution in many metrics of performance.

The rule of thumb Peopleware states is that you can rely on the best outperforming the worst by a factor of 10, and you can rely on the best outperforming the median by a factor of 2.5. This of course indicates that a median developer, middle of the pack, is a 4x developer. Obviously, this is a statistical rule, and if you've got a tiny sample size or some kind of singular outlier or other such; well, we're all adults and we understand how statistics and distributions work.

Peopleware uses Boehn (1981), Sackman (1968), Augustine (1979) and Lawrence (1981) as its sources. [ "Peopleware", DeMarco and Lister, 1987, p45 ]
I pay $12/month with tracfone, which includes 250MB of data, and “enough” voice and texts.

Additional data is $10/GB, and doesn’t expire. There is no point where it switches to unlimited like google fi.

I can choose the same three networks as Fi, but can’t roam between them.

Overall, Fi seems kinda overpriced, at least for me, because the monthly cost is so high (for unlimited voice and texts I don’t need).

It is way better than any of the “big three” cell plans though.
AFAIK half of those, ExaBGP and GoBGP, could be used to build a route server, but aren't out of the box, and it's far from obvious doing that would be less "wasted resources" than the investment in OpenBGPD, and at least for what's actually deployed in IXes BIRD is more or less a monoculture, so apparently the operators think the alternatives aren't so viable.
No, startups just never get to the "nice to have".

Key takeaway: "The con: it's too damn slow. It does well on the Phoronix Test Suite. It does poorly benchmarking our website fully deployed on it (nginx + php + MediaWiki and everything else involved). This is your "real world" test. All 16 cores can't match even 5 cores of our Xeon E5-2697 v4" [0].

Granted, x86 has seen far more optimization work than ARM, but its unfortunate (but not unsurprising) they can't even come up with 1/3 of the speed of a 2016 Xeon. Amazon will need to rethink pricing, if they don't want this to get pigeonholed into running ARM-specific tasks only.

It's simple. Don't use frameworks for content consumption. It adds no value to the end user. No, I don't need your full fledged my-data-sucking SPA just to read an article on your site. Keep it simple.

The best example?
