Tell HN: Protect Privacy, Leave FCC Comment, Deadline Tomorrow

Hacker News - Fri, 07/24/2026 - 2:41pm

The deadline to comment on the FCC’s proposed rule to require government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number for every phone line in the US is July 25.

You can submit a comment by going to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express, selecting Express Comment at the top of the page, and entering 17-59 and 02-278 as the docket numbers in the first field.

Genuine (not AI generated!) personal accounts will be most compelling. If you are an American, please consider speaking out against this proposed change, which will be a disaster for personal privacy in the USA.

Show HN: I made some transistor animations

Hacker News - Fri, 07/24/2026 - 2:37pm

Hi HN, I made some animations of the most important kinds of transistors using my semiconductor simulation, details of which are on the page. I tried to make the visuals as realistic as possible while also aiming for clarity. If you want to go beyond the charge carriers and look at, for example, the electric field, you can do so in the simulation software. The desktop software also has less common devices like IBGTs and SCRs that have similar animations.

The last thread about my software was posted here about a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43942279
