Sort of an off-the-wall idea: Do some kind of event, maybe a promotional thing connected with the business model of your intended product. Or maybe a hackathon or competition of some sort with a cash prize. It can let you find people who

Yes. Yes. You can use HTML and write just fine. It's a markup language, like old runoff, which could be used to generate nice, fancy prospectus documents for a major gov. agency in a far northern country I worked in, when I was a

This may sound silly, but: - my hacked iPad. It's first generation, original software was stupid, but with "RedSn0w" and all of Freeman's Cydia apps, it has turned into my favourite device. It has a full, Linux-like fi

I debated for a while if I should post this - but decided I had to. I actually built a working IEC fusion reactor in my basement, back in 2005-2006. I got to "first fusion" on Sept. 25th, 2006, and posted a video of the reactor wo

Yes, absolutely, I want to say this also. Hacker News / Ycombinator is very fine and excellent. Thanx for running this site. It is unique, the format is genius simple, and I learn and discover things here I would otherwise have no kn

There are a few good things, but mostly, much of the modern tech is nasty and just not good - honestly. I am in my 60's now, and still remain a pure hacker of tech - really. I built a working IEC fusion reactor in my basement, I run

I had six apps on Google Playstore several years back. They were free, no adverts or in-app tricks... Google removed them, since I didnt keep creating new versions. Oh well. But the API churn has become explicit neo-monoploy strategy. G

This is a good and important essay. I was crazy-lucky, being born at a time and place when kids could be left alone to build stuff and play with real technics when still young. I built hovercraft, rockets, ballistic devices, and hacked wi

Learning Z80 assembler, matrix algebra, reloading (9mm, .45, etc.), how to draft detailed building plans (something that is detailed enough to get a building permit approved), and market "Technical Analysis" - the study of chart p

This is an interesting thread - thx for posting. I used to know a bunch of folks that used both J and K. I still use APL - the old APLWin 3.5 from APL2000 (Manugistics/STSC). APL was the first language I learned as a tiny child. I w

Really interesting post. My suggestion: Hacking the stock market with AI's, algos, and current results from neural-science research, and large, accurate historical datasets and analytic models. There are lots of regs that mandate &q
