news.ycombinator.com Brianna Zigler 2025-08-09 20:55:27

“Because the movie delivers on the bottom line, I’m giving it three stars. You want great dinosaurs, you got great dinosaurs.” -Roger Ebert In Steve Brusatte’s non-fiction book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, the self-described Jurassic Park fanatic discusses the ways that Spielberg and co. failed the reality of the T. rex. Brusatte writes that while a Tyrannasaur could indeed run quite fast, adults couldn’t move as quickly as their young. Therefore, an adult wouldn’t be able to speed up en

The Federal Communications Commission has regained its authority to hold spectrum auctions and could use that power to take spectrum away from Wi-Fi networks and license it to mobile carriers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. As we previously wrote, the Senate budget bill pitched by Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for at least 800 MHz to be auctioned and allowed part of it to be taken from the 6 GHz band that's being used to boost speeds in the new generation of Wi-Fi networks.

How Let's Encrypt made the internet safer and HTTPS standard - and free

When Figma starts designing us

I first encountered Figma in 2013, when Dylan Field demoed an early prototype to me at O’Reilly’s Foo Camp. I remember the pen tool feeling surprisingly elegant, but I missed the bigger picture: the radical implications of a design tool that ran in the browser. A decade later, Figma is a core part of our creative process, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to build a fully remote design practice. That’s probably why Dylan is a near-billionaire and I’m not. However, over the course of th
