What does connecting with someone mean?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-11 20:16:48

Published on 24th July 2025 Connect I read a lot about the idea of connecting with people. They say it's the reason to get good at conversation — so you can connect. A problem I had with this advice is I couldn't find a good explanation of what connecting means. It means mutual empathy — they get you and you get them. It's discovering similar values, experiences and perspectives. It's a feeling of trust and comfort where you both feel safe to say what is truly on your mind. That feeling is wh

T-Mobile the fastest mobile network; AT&T best for broadband

Ookla’s latest speed-test report has found that T-Mobile is this year’s fastest mobile network, offering the speediest downloads overall, and the fastest 5G. For home broadband, AT&T Fiber took the crown. Plans to boost broadband speeds have, however, been thrown into doubt by the Trump administration, which wants to abandon a target for every American to have gigabit speeds … If you’ve ever tested your home or mobile broadband speed, there’s a high chance you’ve done so using Ookla’s Speedtes

Laptop CPUs in 2025 Explained: What to Know Before Buying Your Next Laptop

Shopping for a new laptop can be a confusing experience. I find the best place to start is with size. Do you want a featherlight ultraportable or a larger model that has a bigger screen but is more of a chore to lug around? Or something in between that offers a balance between portability and productivity? Deciding on factors as straightforward as size actually goes a long way in helping choose more complex parts, including the processor. You'll still be faced with a variety of CPU options, but

Tesla posted its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 this afternoon. The numbers show yet another bad three months for the automaker. As competition in the EV marketplace has exploded, Tesla has increasingly been left behind, with a small and aging model lineup, before we even contemplate how CEO Elon Musk has tarnished what was once the hottest brand in the car world.

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work?

Fusion Startup Says It's Figured Out How to Turn Mercury Into Gold

A fusion energy startup claims to have found a way to turn mercury into gold. As the Financial Times reports, San Francisco-based Marathon Fusion says that the same process that could one day represent a limitless source of clean energy could also be used for literal alchemy. As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, nuclear transmutation — effectively changing an element or isotope into a different one by ripping out protons from its nucleus — could be used to synthesize gold particles.
