Its funny how you can instantly point out which parts are written by AI.

on my last attempt now. Last year, I didn't hear back for a solid 10 days after the results were out. Had no way to verify if my company had applied for me in the lottery until the results came out. Is this normal?

Ask HN: Has Hacker News been unusable on Chrome for anyone else?

sss111 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 03:26:10 +0000

I'm running into a frustrating issue where Google Chrome slows down or goes into a loading state while reading big threads on hackernews. (For example this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41002195 or this post:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45427982 )

All I have to do is start clicking the minimize button on threads and my entire PC stops responding.

I have a really beefy setup so its most likely not from there

Has anyone else run into this?

So far been able to replicate on: - Windows 11, Chrome v140.0.7339.208

Also tried incognito mode in Chrome, disabled all extensions. Interestingly, doesn't happen on macOS.

I'm actually on a bridge call with Google Cloud, we're a large customer -- I just learned today that their status page is not automated, instead someone actually manually updates it!

It seemed to me like an open and shut case too, but no one at apple would listen. When you sign terms and conditions at dropoff, you basically sign away rights :/

sss111 — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 18:54:39 +0000

Heathrow's power outage is much worse than Atlanta's, this is really bad. Allow me to make my point:

1. UK’s has one major airport to get out of the country—Heathrow. Gatwick and that lot don’t carry the same weight. When Heathrow goes down, you’re proper stuck. Atlanta has DC, Miami right there.

2. UK allows transit visas, so half the people transiting can’t even step out the terminal, what do they do when the airport is closed?

The US doesn’t allow that, everyone clears customs/passport control, so no ‘no man’s land’ limbo for stranded passengers.

3. Heathrow's outage is going to take 24 hours as of right now. That's twice Atlanta
