Ask HN: Anyone know anyone over at T-Mobile corp web operations?
It appears that account.t-mobile.com blackholes requests from our stupid-small network (AS21743). So I can't complete my "T-Mobile for Business" registration 'cause they're 408-ing all requests from our AS. I live in Seattle, so my condo is blanketed with Starbucks Wi-Fi dialtone, and T-Mob hasn't black-holed their net provider. So I'm able to complete my task.

But I just wanted to see if I could get ahold of anyone at t-mob who a) knows what an ASN is and how it relates to anycast and b) can tweak their blackhole list so users of our tiny Seattle-based WISP can access their services. Obviously the phone support guys don't know what's going on and sadly, our WISP slept through the NANOG meetings so doesn't have any contacts.
The chat experience is horrible on team, read recepit work half of the time, notifications are super weird in how they get handled, reactions cound as a notification separated from the chat, and so on...
We've already passed the point where superconductors need liquid helium:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARC_fusion_reactor

"The most probable candidate material is yttrium barium copper oxide, with a design temperature of 20 K, allowing various coolants (e.g. liquid hydrogen, liquid neon, or helium gas) instead of the much more complicated liquid helium refrigeration chosen by ITER."
I second the question - is there non-organic food? For me the opposite of organic is "mineral".
Design is a deep and difficult skill, but "design thinking" is not a deep set of ideas. If you listen to amazing designers and mediocre designers speak about how they approach design problems, they sound very much the same. It's like listening to professional athletes: a Major League all-star might use exactly the same words to describe how they hit a baseball as your Little League coach used when they tried to teach you how to do it.

Some designers are more poised and articulate, some are better at telling stories for an audience, but the best designers don't distinguish themselves by having different or better ideas about how to do design, any more than the best hitters have different and better ideas about how to hit a baseball. The fundamentals are well-established, encoded in a set of timeworn clichés, and it's important to be familiar with them, but the difficulty lies in picking the right cliché at the right time to focus your mind in the right direction.

And those other encodings were encodings for a variety of human scripts.

Re: emojis, well, they're not that different from Kanjis, not really -- both are pictographs after all, one just has much more modern functionality (e.g., color).

summary:

1. it's still "visa-free", but increasingly countries are making that shit by requiring an "electronic travel authority" which is not technically a visa but is a bit of imaginary paper you get in exchange for money (e.g. Australia and the US)

2. the US already requires EU citizens to do this exact fucking thing to enter the US: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

3. the US refused to even grant visa free access at all to some EU citizens (those from Romania and Bulgaria): https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/eu-visa-reciprocity-wi...

it is unfortunate that ~2003 may end up being a high point for ease of travel for citizens of rich countries

+1, I was worried about range before I bought a Model Y, but charging at home and trip planner I never even think about range anxiety at all.
Ask HN: Who/what introduced you to Hacker News? How long have you been here?
I'm a pretty recent (active) user here. It's been less than a week.

I was introduced to it quite a while ago due to YC, and us applying as a tech startup.

Also came across stories of viral or pretty successful HN launch posts by fellow startups.

And ofc, heard some pretty great things about the candidness of the community.

How about you?
I love that the Wikipedia community makes pages like this so quickly. Was made back in November.

I've made a few pages here and there and it's certainly takes some time to find reputable sources to prove notability and get a decent starting article out.
Queueing things can result in better throughput because you don't have to wait for the other side to process your last message before you can begin work on the next one.
There is likely a "correct" size for any given business in regards to it's function in society.

Quite - the organic size, if you will. In biological bodies, organs that become overdeveloped or overused relative to the rest of the body lead to disease. MY loose analogy for economics is that your body can only store so much excess sugar before you acquire crippling diabetes.
Yeah it doesn't seem directed at the US. It applies to 60 countries, including Singapore, which is currently the world's best passport.
This has been my experience as well. When there's a disparity, the Energy app gives additional details why the estimate was wrong (driving speed, climate control, etc).
Unsurprising that Thames Water wants more money considering their financial situation.

The state of their infrastructure is wretched. The fact they saved themself from forced nationalization is depressing as well.

It’s pretty nakedly obvious that they’re run poorly by design.
Why do you say low-lying areas? Do you mean like because of coastal/sea-level rise?
Agreed. Skepticism is not only necessary but welcomed. But some of the comments are painting these guys like they are clowns. A bit of digging shows they've been working on this in some part since 1999 and that they were able to secure funding a few years back. And since then they've brought on other highly credible people and have in fact have been able to build this material awhile now.

This isn't some grad students that just stumbled upon something they mistook for something else. There's a really good chance this is legit and that lots of physics will need to be looked at.
Considering that the chair (Jim Jordan) himself ignored a subpoena from a similar committee (Jan 6) with no consequences; I'd say the chances are slim to none.

I wonder how this compares to something like Aeron performance-wise - though Aeron is strictly messaging (not queueing).
Same here. I've come to the conclusion that most drivers (or most drivers that complain about EPA mileage ratings anyway) have insane driving habits. Every car I have ever owned (And I've run the gamut from sedans to light pickups of both American an Japanese make) has met or exceeded the EPA rated mileage.

The only oddity that I have observed is in my current car, a Lexus hybrid crossover just barely meets its city rating in town while easily beating the city rating (which is higher since it's a hybrid) on the highway. Not that I'm complaining, but it's not what I expected from my first hybrid vehicle.
It makes me think of "cute aggression"
The climate always changes. Always has & always will. No political movement, economic paradigm, or technology will make the climate static. The geomagnetic field fluctuations, Sun, the solar system's current cosmological coordinates, cosmological effects are too big of a driver of the climate.

Geologically speaking, we have just left a mini-ice age. Our efforts are better invested in adjusting to these inevitable changes.
The entirety of the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution:

>This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding

There is ZERO wiggle room there. The Federal government made a law saying you can't grow weed or sell weed. States cannot undercut that.

The interstate commerce nonsense has always been a distraction.
> The difference is Design Thinking requires extensive documentation for each step.

Design thinking is not a fixed process. If you make a lot of documentation on each step, that's on you.

The idea is just to define what you create from the point of view of the users. And yes, it's probably what the GP was doing all this time.
I was wondering how it's built and I found out that it's "build-less" but requires a Node backend to serve. Can't just deploy on S3.

> I feel the original intent, to be able to contribute directly back to page authors, was a noble one. It may not have played out as intended, but it wasn't a scam.

The original intent was absolutely a scam. They wanted to hide the ads that were already on websites, replace them with their own, then give a fraction of the revenue they just effectively stole from those websites back to them (but only if they knew to ask for it).

Also they were going to take over all the third-party tracking data for their own, while branding it as “privacy” — so much hand waving about "we don't run a MiTM proxy" (while hoping we didn’t notice it’s because they don’t need to be in the middle when they control the browser itself).

Absolutely brazen, and they kept changing their story in real time whenever people started to notice hey wtf is this. Happened to be able to find this in my posting history for example; in hindsight I wish I hadn't been so cowed by the fact that I was arguing with Brendan Eich Himself, because man what a load of horsepuckey he and his guy were delivering: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14464518#14465271
Yeah - it's pretty wild, Tesla really committed to this a decade ago and has been chipping away at it since, the investment paid off.

Even better, strategically Tesla created the "NACS" or North American Charging Standard which is a clever name for their far superior Tesla charger. They also pivoted from the superchargers being an exclusive reason to buy a Tesla to licensing them for other EVs - now Ford is onboard, Electrify America is switching to NACS, GM too.

They pulled off this switch perfectly in a way most companies fail to do (ex: blackberry bbm) and as a result their investment in these will remain dominant and everyone will be unified around a superior standard (the EU charging standard CCS plug is a committee designed monster that's worse categorically). They're also continuing to expand.

I love manual transmission sports cars, but EVs today are just superior for regular use and Teslas are the best option for most people (especially when considering their lower cost), putting subjective opinions about their mercurial leader aside. There's a reason the Model Y was the best selling car in 2023 Q1 across all categories globally [0].

HN has historically been poor at objectively evaluating this sort of thing especially about Tesla.

Either that or you're limited by revs - in other words, there's enough net torque that, in the highest gear, the engine is running at redline before wind resistance stops you accelerating.

You don't see that much these days, though, as having your highest gear that short is just leaving fuel economy on the table on the highway. If you can pick up speed going uphill without changing down at least one gear, you're wasting fuel to pumping losses on flats/downhill.
I had the same thought. There is a a lot of value to be created with moves like this, but it is risky and does not have a long shelf life. Not necessarily a bad business play, but should be expected to be a short-lived one either way.

> Specifically, tying yourself up to a closed ecosystem by building what amounts to a (albeit very nice and powerful) super-feature.

Couldn't agree more. It goes something like this :

"What do you offer ?"

"Feature X on top of Y"

"What stops Y from doing it themselves ?"

Either A "Well it's not worth it" (then why do you do it), or B "Well, they haven't so far ..." in which case you have an end date already, you just don't know it yet and it's in the hands of Y.

As you said, planning to be aquired is probably the best move, second one being to plan your independence (imgur to reddit like), because otherwise your company has no real future.
1,000,000 messages per second isn’t high performance?
Everyone on here complaining about the road markings in the video is missing the point. Roads are frequently poorly maintained, and the markings are not consistent even from city-to-city (Or within cities). To be a reasonably full-self-driving vehicle, you need to be prepared for the imperfection which is roadways in the US (or anywhere).

we often make up for this in human judgment, but the machines are unable to make up for that, and that's a major gap.
With your system, if I live somewhere flat and I go to the mountains, I will be out of juice during the climb. Tesla has a battery indicator in percentage and the navigation which is pretty accurate. Your ICE car has a gauge for the tank and an estimation of range.

Tesla should probably not allow you to show the battery as range as it will always be inaccurate and people will complain. But if they only show percentages, people complain as well.
> But how many actually manage to pull off that feat?

Quite a few, but that's not the point. Increasing opportunities for everyone does not mean that there will be the same levels of increase in top tier outlier outcomes. Just like if you suddenly gave access to MIT education to everyone, I think the success metric median (whether it is income or achievements) for MIT students will decrease, but the absolute number of successful people due to MIT education being available to everyone will increase.

Off the top of my head in terms of examples: Brockhampton, Skrillex, Billie Eilish, Porter Robinson, Steve Lacy (who produced hit tracks for artists like Mac Miller, J.Cole, and Kendrick Lamar), Flume, etc. The list can keep going on and on, and I listed only the very top tier artists in terms of popularity and lasting presence so far.

I suppose it's subjective but Crinkle Crankle is better because it sounds so ridiculous.

Ribbon Wall doesn't sound any more ridiculous than same-shaped Ribbon Candy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_candy) or Ribbon Cables (https://www.fxpstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ribbon-w...), and ribbons don't call to mind atrocities or human suffering. Battlefields are terrible places where horrific things happen. That's not something I'd want associated with my own property.
Ask HN: Roast My CV
Hey HN! I'm currently searching for a job as a full-stack developer and looking for some feedback on my CV. I would greatly appreciate if you could glance over it and share some insights. Maybe also share your own CV too?

CV: https://u.ale.sh/Alexander_Pushkov_%E2%80%93_CV.pdf

Tbh, I had Design Thinking down as a buzzword and never really engaged with it or even knew what it really was. Then someone recently suggested using DT to revamp the UI in a place where most of us weren't quite happy about the current solution. We got some pretty good ideas after three sessions stretched out over a few days, and several of those ideas have already made it into production, with great feedback so far. So I actually had to revise my opinion - my n=1 experience was that for a narrow, well-defined problem like "Create a UI for this process", and if you count something as small getting someone senior to give up strongly held convictions as a success, then I'd say it actually worked pretty well.
Draw Things now supports SDXL 1.0
Who cares? if everyone dies and you say "well it always changes" the answer is still "...and we could have done something about it and we didn't do enough."

It has no bearing if it changed in the past if we can do something about it not killing most (non-rich) people in the future.

Well it was one bearing if it was like this in the past: it gives people a convenient argument for dismissing it now. So if your goal is "definitely let's make sure we don't handle this well", then at least, if you're right, you can justify that. Pretty pointless, though, unless your goal is destruction.
Correct the collaboration and integrations are far better. Our collaboration on documents has improved heavily just by Office365 alone, the Teams integrations to documents and dashboards makes for awesome project-based channels. Slack didn't do anything but cause distraction and people responding with terrible custom emojis (a feature I will never miss).
It's actually not protected. In fact, only very few states even have laws that protect political activity from being used for workplace terminations. And even states like NY and California make a vague exception for "political activity that interferes with the functioning of the business."

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/21/your-money/speaking-about...

The only ones constitutionally protected are government employees since the government cannot fire someone for 1st amendment speech (but companies can because the 1st amendment does not apply to private entities)

Availability in a store somewhere in the world isn't the same as availability in the common case.

And we've now reached the point that PCs come with Windows for the same reason you can't find a non-"smart" TV anymore. It comes preloaded with spyware, which has a market value to the seller, which makes that device cost less than one with only free software on it.

Sophisticated buyers then take the discount and wipe what it came with, which contributes to alternatives not being widely available, but unsophisticated buyers don't know how to do that and get stuck with the spyware.
this is an overly cynical take. headlines are brief by necessity. nobody would read that and think that a curved line from A to B is shorter than a straight line between the same points.

the first paragraph explains it,

> these wavy walls actually use less bricks than a straight wall because they can be made just one brick thin, while a straight wall—without buttresses—would easily topple over
Obviously, but you missed the point. The problem is competetion by increased polarity between the haves and have-nots. The latter aren't just going to roll over and die. They're going to go to war to survive because there's nothing to lose in not doing so and everything to gain.
Well, that's just a natural consequence of a checks-and-balances system that has bugs... Like expecting a group of people to enforce the law against themselves.

Face and/or fingerprints have been a requirement in in every developed country (including US) since at least 2012. Might be even earlier than that, that's just the clearest memory of myself going through the immigration in Europe. It's a tiny bit different when you're citizen of the country you're entering into, but that's just details.

At this point, I live with the expectation that my biometrics are available for sale in some 3rd party data broker, and try to live with having that kind of threat model in my mind. Something something, adapt and survive.

It's funny how ChatGPT really does give you the most balanced, middle of the road answers. It feels like a distillation of all human knowledge and sentiments. I use it constantly to get advice on plans, architectures, thoughts, etc.. to get an idea of pretty much what the average person would think. It often points out things I've overlooked which I'll improve my design with and go back and forth with ChatGPT until we're both in agreement.

I even read a classic book the other day and had a great discussion with ChatGPT about moral relativism, the different schools of thought and how it fit into philosophy as a whole. For students this technology is incredible, I wish I had it for all my classes.

Even sometimes comments I'll make on here or Reddit I'll pass through ChatGPT first to see if I made any mistakes in my logic.

This was the position I took with the iPhone 4 long ago because of the nonsense "antennagate" thing. I said forget Consumer Reports, the phone works fine.

Great question. Yes it does. PeerDB keeps track of what rows have been streamed and what are yet to be streamed.
