Canada's providers decided to shut down CDMA in favor of an all-LTE network, and I think they're better off for it.

I really hope that we could see that in the next five years for Sprint/T-mo: existing Sprint customers get upgraded to LTE and/or 5G devices, and then the CDMA network gets turned off in 2025 or 2030, and the bandwidth repurposed for 5G or 6G or whatever.
Both on the general quality of generations as well as segmentation. We are still figuring out the priorities and domains.

Do you have any thoughts/suggestions?
Did you think I said exclusively responsible for each step?

Also, do you have any defense for claiming this is racist?

I think this argument proves too much. It is true that most users don't care or even understand the security and privacy issues in the software that they use but that doesn't mean product developers shouldn't care. It is the precise reason that product developers HAVE to care because they in fact understand the danger (or should anyway) and should protect their users from them.

I could just as easily say that "users don't care whether we hash their passwords in our database so why waste the CPU cycles" and I would be right. The vast majority of users don't know anything about storing passwords securely, but

1. They absolutely care if their passwords get pilfered and used to access their accounts.
2. We still have an ethical responsibility to protect people from dangers that we know full well can cause them harm even if they don't understand what those dangers are.

Hi, my name is Mac and I am a full-stack engineer looking for complex challenges that will push my boundaries as a developer. I enjoy wrestling with backend architecture involving various data streams and operations. I believe the most powerful technologies have simple design with robust capability. I am opened to both contract work/projects and/or something full-time.

It may be a naive question: what about compressing and then encrypting?
Dish owns a lot of terrestrial-use spectrum, but it's mostly oddball frequencies nobody else in the world is using for cellular service today. IIRC the most "standard" band they own is band 71 (600 MHz, also used by T-Mobile) and a bit of band 66 (standard AWS-3, used by all US carriers), but the rest of their spectrum is band 29 (supplemental downlink only), band 70 (unique to Dish), and (with this merger) band 26 (currently unique to Sprint). They certainly could launch cell service using it but they would pretty much have to custom-order base stations and phones to match the frequency bands they own. This was another problem that Sprint faced (with requiring band 25, 26, and 41 which were all unique to them in the US market).

I'd argue that a large majority of people who have "work from home" computer jobs either already have a computer that they can use for work, or their employer does. Or it can be purchased from already existing inventory (used or new).

Also, a computer purchase for an employee isn't usually a frequent occurrence. Maybe once during hire, and once a year to stay up to date (if that).

Computer manufacturers can probably take a break for a couple of months and the tech industry will survive.
With MRI Elastography it’s a thing that looks like a ping pong bat, with a hose attached to a subwoofer.
I’m sure their are better ways to describe it! It tickles if the patient is ticklish.
>How would the value they create [...] be measured?

Even if it could, that value would be so enormous that there are simple economic constraints on what's possible in terms of remuneration. Lot's of people are allocated what are probably criminally small portions of the value they create.

For instance, if the sanitation engineers in a city disappeared, you wouldn't want to be in that city 3 months later. The city's streets would be filled with rotting garbage, and that would be the least of it's problems. Its grey- and black- water processing systems would be long since collapsed. And that city'd better hope that no industrial actors took the opportunity to dispense of troublesome pollutants despite the lack of a functioning sanitation system.

The thing is, despite the critical importance of the guys running our sanitation systems, and the enormous value the environment they maintain confers on us, in my own city, not one of them makes USD300 grand a year. (Or even USD200 grand. You get the idea.) A lot of civilization collapses without them, but they are still some of the lowest paid professionals in all of engineering.

All that's due to the same economic limitations that constrict remuneration for farmworkers. They are absolutely essential. They create enormous value. Unfortunately, the way the system is set up, there is not much in the way of resources to reward them.

We can discuss changing the system, but I doubt most people would like the outcome of that exercise. That would definitely go under "Be careful what you wish for."
I have found it easier to work a full day on Friday when I'm at home, because people aren't gathering in the kitchen pouring beer and making cocktails at 4pm.

(I'd love that if I started working at 7am like some of my coworkers, but when I start at 9:30am, the day feels a little truncated.)
It's not hospitals that do this. It's management, and management has names and faces, they're people. Expose the fuckers.
> How do they generate business then, if not cold outreach?

There are tons of ways to get warm interest, whether that's permission to email, a conversation with a salesperson, or a request for more info. Some obvious examples are content marketing (with a way to provide your email for a mailing list and/or account), trial downloads, product tours/webinar registrations, trade show booths, and user group sponsorships.

Literally any interaction except emailing a complete stranger can, and often does, lead to someone giving a salesperson or a company permission to contact them.

(Related: Needing to guess who needs a product, email them out of the blue, and be wrong 50-99% of the time, is often a sign that the company is failing at marketing. Generating warm leads is not hard.)
How does it compare to the newly launched product 'Screen' (from the Screenhero founders)?

I think officially it is that they don't know what the employees are bringing from home. They could be bringing some knockoff mask that offers very little protection. But come on, you can't use a mask with 3M stamped on it that you bought at Home Depot?

I'll also speculate that it could create friction between staff - How come you get protect and I don't? It could be a problem.
At this point, many people prefer to remain ignorant of the risk, so they can continue their lives without change. Just like the CV response.

Basically people don't like thinking even one step ahead. What's the consequence of millions of people exposing their private information (PDF bank statements, DOB, scans of their ID docs, etc) via something like Zoom? Massive identity theft and scamming. E.g. people are going to be asked to send money to relatives, and they'll do it. Loans will be taken out using your PII.

If you think identity theft is bad now, consider the problem when you can't go to the DMV, your bank, etc.

Countries with good digital ID programs (like Germany) and vastly more prepared for this problem.
Houseparty app says it will pay $1M for 'proof' of hacking smear
I assume buying mobile service from sellers other than the network owner themselves makes you a second class citizen on the network and subject to throttling or whatever QoS they use to make your traffic lower priority.

I even assume that you are getting prioritized depending on how much you pay or how politically important you are for the networks. I.e. a $20 prepaid ATT customer is lower priority than a $80 post paid unlimited customer which is lower priority than a US Senator.
Many Americans probably don't consider Canada as an "other country". :-)

Heck, they don't even have their own country code for dialing...
Started dabling recently so Im not an expert on the subject, but from my understanding, Racket represents XML data as an X-expression. On the other hand symbolic expressions aka s-expressions are the syntactic elements of the Lisp programming language. Both programs and data are represented as s-expressions: an s-expression may be either an atom or a list. So x-expressions relate to XML
> Doctors and nurses get to choose the hospitals they work for/with.

Not always or completely even. Medical residents and fellows enter a legally binding contract to work at the hospital they match with as part of the application process, and opting to change hospitals during one’s program is nigh impossible.
But that had nothing to do with T-Mobile or Legere. It was the shift to LTE networking and some mandates by the FCC related to spectrum auctions.
They can call in sick.
Clearly the west dropped the ball in important ways, but guidance from the WHO was certainly bad and seemingly deferential to China and its reputation. But if there’s evidence the data and reporting is “concealed,” on top of the clear silencing of doctors (Ai Fen and others), this is egregious.
My guess: litigation risk, and institutional fear of any kind of potential lawsuits.

I think I remember someone who was a new-ish doctor mentioning that part of the reason some doctors' salaries were so high was they had to basically pour money into malpractice insurance.

In this case, he's solving a real problem for a real person. This means you need to know people with problems, and recognize that they are problems (they may not think so!) and believe you can improve it.

Of course, you can make something way better than what they have, and they still not use it...
Part of the hate for Zoom is from the bad reputation they have among security people from "local-webserver-gate," which (to me at least) really was an egregiously bad thing to do even if the intention was just to make the user experience more seamless.
It is painfully obvious that china concealed the beginnings of the outbreak, no matter your personal political beliefs, or nationality.

To assert anything else, particularly under the guise of (so and so also did this), highlights your comment as insincere. Lets keep the politics out of HN.
I haven't tested but there is no reason that can't be done in waypipe. It works by intercepting certain protocol messages and proxying them over the network. The client just has to be given the output information from the remote machine.
Remember when authoritarian countries were punishing doctors for whistle-blowing?

Anyone who has ever worked for a living should not be surprised that this sort of behaviour is alive and well here, too.
That’s what everyone who later becomes an incel says. Be careful to avoid online discussion groups!
Do you have a source for that estimate and the assumptions it is based on.

By my estimate, the deaths in the USA alone, with no lockdowns, is around 2 million this year. Other attempts that I’ve seen to estimate it come out with similar figures.
`git revert 3f858d836a1d07c5ba682ba327df0711e7ada8fd` ought to do it, no?

That's just a semantic argument. Humans have an ability no other organism has to create and maintain biological systems. It is the only thing that could possibly save an ecosystem from collapse. If humans are eliminated, then so is this ability.
Can you share your trivia game?
> Because they are not in a single scope

That all depends on the tool. Despite being cross-language (or rather, because of it), Ragel's source code-level interfaces don't require indirection through callbacks or function pointers. Ragel has a rich set of operators for embedding code blocks at transition points, operators for embedding expressions to control transitions, and operators for controlling how Ragel saves/restores state. You can organize your code nearly as freely as when open-coding a solution--a million little functions, a single gigantic function, or something in between.

The problem with many tools that are tightly integrated with a language--such as in-language AST manipulation, or via lambadas or closures--is that they're constrained by the expressiveness of the host language. You can see this with Lisp macros--you can trivially hack the s-expression tree to implement incredible semantic changes, but if the problem isn't best described using simple function (and specifically s-expression) syntax, then good luck identifying the semantics on inspection or understanding the implementation.

Calling in sick in medicine typically gets one of your peers called in instead, putting them at-risk instead of you for that shift.
>Who gets to choose who gets sick first - do remember that in the US a farm worker getting sick might bankrupt them and kill them not because a hospital bed isn't available - but because they can't afford it or end up having a heart attack after dealing with the stress of those costs.

But this is literally a every day risk and problem with or without covid-19 as there is a whole host of diseases they could catch any day, especially the flu. The bigger problem is our shitty healthcare system.
> "If, like most people, you were buying a phone from your carrier"

Most people bought a phone from their carrier because it was so heavily subsidized and the plans were so expensive. If you broke your phone, you were out a huge amount of money, AND you had an expensive plan to boot.

T-Mobile did the right thing and gave consumers an option.
Presumably the fact that Fi is consider a decent enough cell network suggests this merger will succeed at its goals. I wouldn't expect T-Mobile to shut down Sprint's network without adequately replacing it. The merge plan probably includes shutting down 'extra' towers that are adequately covered by the other network, but probably retaining and upgrading any towers with coverage unique to only one network.
I don't think we've had too much trouble here. The people I work closest with are in Pacific, Central and Atlantic* timezones. I'm in Eastern.

Dealing with Asia and Europe on a regular basis could be challenging. I'm glad I don't need to do that much.

* Atlantic is the one waaaay out on the East Coast of Canada.

The amount of medical capacity around is very much a function of "status quo" institutions and frameworks. Maybe not billing per se, but plenty of other stuff that's nonetheless quite relevant.
It's a semantic argument, but I generally agree. I'd say authoritarianism is an extremist endpoint on a spectrum. It's become a dirty word for obvious reasons, but I'm using the term in a relatively value-neutral / non-pejorative sense.
T-Mobile's coverage area almost completely encompasses the coverage provided by Sprint and also covers a lot of areas Sprint does not. This merger also makes T-Mobile by far the largest owner of sub-6 GHz cellular spectrum in the US. As long as they invest wisely they should have no trouble building a network fully competitive with AT&T and Verizon.
