shmoe··on Ask HN: Hearing aid wearers, what's hot?
Ouch. Sorry, does it help if I say I'm a big Leslie Nielsen fan? :P
shmoe··on Ask HN: Hearing aid wearers, what's hot?
Not sure why this is directed at deaf people only,

adjective 1. having a high degree of heat or a high temperature.

Hope that helps!

shmoe··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
How does a seemingly intelligent person reach such an empty conclusion?
shmoe··on Ace Frehley Dies at 74
No longer have Ace Frehle. Still got Peter Kriss. Waiting there for us, yes we do.
shmoe··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
Because if you're racially profiling, you probably aren't tossing out the white immigrants. You may, in fact, revive the Office of Refugee and Resettlement for the creators of South American Apartheid instead.
shmoe··on Supercharger for Business – Tesla
They did scramble to hire some back, and I do see a truck repairing stalls at a few of the local superchargers. So someone's doing it! :)

Could be a volunteer at this point.

shmoe··on Electric cars produce less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars
The difference is neither of those generates gasoline on an ICE vehicle.
shmoe··on EverQuest
I had such amazing times in the SWG beta.. it's a shame it never found its footing. It's ambition did it in.

Thank you!

shmoe··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
ahh.. in my mind it was multiple hits spread over an area. This does make more sense.
shmoe··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
From what I read, they likely still couldn't penetrate the halls at Fordow, which are about 260 feet underground and encased in 30000psi concrete. Did we even do anything there?
shmoe··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
They have yet to re-light an engine in space, which has been a mission milestone several times now. Either the ship explodes in hot staging, orbit, or re-entry (and now, static testing) and hasn't made it to the controlled spot in the ocean in quite some time.
shmoe··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
Falcon/Dragon = Successful program, never had the problems Starship has had

Starship = regressing every flight.

This isn't hard to parse man.

shmoe··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
They didn't regress like starship has though... they literally just went from orbit to controlled landing in ocean and catching the booster on a fork to the ships blowing up in orbit or not making it there and the boosters aborting the catch for a controlled landing offshore or blowing up as well.

Now they have regressed to blowing up on the pad during static testing.

Seems very different to me than the Falcon story, 100%. Granted, they had luck too.

shmoe··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
They cant seem to match launch cadence to ship progression. This will most certainly set them back a few more weeks beyond the end of this month.
shmoe··on SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
SpaceX supporters can only call this "moving fast, breaking stuff" for so long as the entire program regresses in on itself in terms of milestones. This was never easy, but the Falcon program sure made it look so.
shmoe··on Fun with Telnet (2024)
RIP TDome ][!

A local MajorBBS in my area had multiple nodes and outbound internet.. with no dns for some reason. So we needed to know the ip address of the bbs/mud we wanted to telnet to.

Some of the highest quality people I know I met there and still speak to.

shmoe··on Tesla seeks to guard crash data from public disclosure
Her name is Gwynne Shotwell. Ironically, an amazing name for a rocket company executive.
shmoe··on C1 modem breaks no speed records, but is power efficient
It would just be an MVNO I would think, but still cool.
shmoe··on C1 modem breaks no speed records, but is power efficient
Man, this has been talked about for years now. I wish they'd just pull that trigger. A cell enabled macbook is the dream.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
Got it, we are on the same page.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
I can just buy a Rivian? I know nothing of RJ Scaringe's political views, and it feels excellent.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
For now. They're also a good number of years ahead of most of them.. in finance and software.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
... you call what we're seeing "well run" ? Like, really?
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
Nothing Elon says or does aligns with Tesla's master plan anymore. I can take my money elsewhere until their crony-filled board does the needful and dumps him. Rivian R2 is going to be amazing.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
This year states will begin implementing their submitted plans with the disbursed funds.
shmoe··on Feds Halt the National Electric Vehicle Charging Program
There are allocated funds that will be expanding the network pretty hardcore this year.. unfortunately now after that it will dwindle but between this and next year I'd expect to see a fair amount of NEVI stations as states implement their plans.

That's precisely why we'll never see it.
shmoe··on Jimmy Carter has died
The model of a post-Presidency. RIP sir, go be with your wife now.
shmoe··on Ask HN: Does Hacker News consist mostly of real people?
I do get captchas _alot_ so... not really sure.
