Ask HN: Your experience with Netgear 7000P wireless router?

Wirecutter recommends Netgear (R7000P-100NAS) Nighthawk AC2300 for most people. It has everything I want: dual-band, load-balancing band steering, beamforming, good performance (maybe not?), 802.11ac, etc., but most important, an easy setup.https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-wi-fi-router/However there are tons of Amazon reviews stating the router stopped working early and connection drops...

LinkedIn up to date ;)

I just started checking job posts and can confirm that several are requesting React, so you are right on point. I’ll add a React project.

Started checking algos a while back, and yours is a good reminder to keep going.

I really appreciate your input. Pablo

Hey Jaye,

Although I wrote Full-Stack Web Developer right under my name I will add it to the about me section. I haven’t applied for any jobs yet. Updating my resume and LinkedIn profile for the first time in years to start the process this week.

I didn’t think anybody would pay much attention to what I did on my previous career so I abbreviated it. However it seems a good idea to provide these kind of details.

And I do plan to start blogging ;)

Good points. Thanks a lot for your help.

Pablo

Re:Best method to cancel human voices at work or public space? on Thursday October 06, 2016 @07:29PM (#12656985)
I found this list for best noise-isolation headphones: http://headphonesaddict.com/best-noise-isolating-earbuds. There's a Sennheiser in the top 2. I may consider noise-isolation over noise-canceling. Would be great if there was a noise-canceling pair with amazing noise-isolation properties as well.

The simplenoise.com site is great. Thanks

I knew about the Bose models but did not know about the Sony MDR-1000X. As you mentioned, none seem to completely stop voices, although your experience is very good at least at lessening them.

I was actually thinking of wearing earplugs and headphones at once. Thanks for the info

Re:Best method to cancel human voices at work or public space? on Thursday October 06, 2016 @05:01PM (#12656073)
I wasn't planning to add noise, but it may be a good option. I'll try this as well. Thanks

I think I have used them in the past but did not have a great experience. Maybe I didn't rolled/tested them properly. Will try again. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for your reply. I agree with your "library voices" concept and I'm very respectful in regards to keeping volume down and minimal duration if there was a need for a chat. The issue is when others are not and you have no control over it, making it difficult to focus on the task at hand.

Best method to cancel human voices at work or public space?

I have tried silicone ear plugs and in-ear headphones with good plugs but can’t find anything that completely stops human voices. I have read that the noise-canceling headphones are good for some type of frequencies, human voices not being one of them. What methods do you use to cope with it? If ear plugs or headphones, can you specify?

Today, to somebody new to Node and programming in general, which framework would you recommend learning, Express, Koa or Hapi? Express seemed to be the go to Node’s web framework a while back.

Why aren’t big companies implementing best practices to protect user’s data?

Why aren’t the big companies hosting millions of users using the best practices and tools available to protect user’s data like passwords, emails, etc?It seems that modern hashing techniques like bcrypt and salting are not being implemented.Is it because of the cost or hassle? Is it laziness, ill advice, lack of care for customers safety or poor management decisions? Or is it something else?
