Ask HN: Bonding Internet Connectionshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20580811Hi Guys - I'm based in Australia and have slow ADSL2+ (4Mb/1Mb down/up). I live semi rural so have limited to no mobile reception. I can get 'skymuster' which is a satellite connection that should provide about 20Mb down. That said I've has mixed reviews like it 1) stops working in heavy rain plus 2) accounts are limited to 200bg and I probably use double that in a month and 3) I run my mobile calls over wifi so worried about the latency of satellite only.I’ve started looking at signing up to both services to get the best of both and bonding these 2 connections. The solution to bond connections that keeps showing up is Speedify. There doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of options for a non-technical person like me. I'm wondering if people have any recommendations on the best way to bond 2 internet connections?Aug 1, 2019 3:11 AM

Show HN: Secrets of Mastering Excelhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20426894Inspired by a comment thread yesterday [1] I made this mini site:https://excel.secretgeek.net/Reason:I often want to share Joel Spolsky's famous "You Suck at Excel" video tutorial with "important" business people inside the large enterprise where I work.But it would be easily misconstrued as trolling if I sent a business customer a URL that literally tells them, right in the heading, that they "suck" at excel.So, as advised by user @TuringTest (in the thread mentioned above) I created a mini site, on its own sub-domain, that is palatable to a business mindset, and brutally overlaid a heading that says "Secrets of Mastering Excel" right over the top of the "You Suck at Excel" heading.Now I've got something I can recommend to business people without causing disharmony. And I can leave a link to it in my email signature at work, to nudge my colleagues to improve their Excel game.[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20418313Jul 13, 2019 7:00 AM

You can add your family tree and it gets merged with other family trees as you add more people. For example, if you add your uncle and he adds his wife and kids then you will see his tree and your tree, all connected through your parents. You can send private messages or post on family tree wall.

Ask HN: Why do so many apps on my iPhone need bluetooth?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20266212I just installed iOS 13, and one of the features they added was a warning every time an app tries to access bluetooth. Pretty much every app I've run has asked for bluetooth access. Audio bluetooth is separate so it doesn't warn about that, so none of this is audio related.I understand that a lot of apps use bluetooth beacons as a workaround for location data, since iOS has given a warning about location data for a while, but some of the apps have no need for location data. Are they accessing it just because there is some standard iOS library that does it, or is every app really tracking my location? Here are all the apps that have asked me for bluetooth permission in the two days since I installed iOS 13:Amazon (Already has location allowed)Amazon Alexa (Already has location allowed)ESPNFacebookFeit ElectricGasBuddy (I already gave it permission for location services)Google Maps (already has location allowed)Wear OSYouTubeYT KidsHuluDowncastNetflix (Already has location allowed)SonosSJun 24, 2019 5:42 PM
