Is Anki a trademark? If someone wants to make a tool called AnkiSuper, is that allowed? I'm not a big fan of the UI/UX. So I am thinking of scratching an itch.

Could someone please post tool names as well? Everyone is talking processes. But I would love to know more convenient tools as well.

Hi, how are you getting the keystrokes you type in to overlay on the video? Is there a tool you're using for this? Would be very helpful if you could make it.

I am trying to build a flood forecasting system for India using satellite remote sensing, hydrologic models, machine learning, crowdsourcing etc.

What's new apart from the title?

Yes, I'm aware. I actually work close to the Network Integrations Center in NASA. Most space work is collaborative. :)

Just a note: Chandrayaan-2 has Muthyya Vanitha as Project Director and Ritu Karidhal as Mission Director. This is the first time in ISRO a woman is a Project Director. According to ISRO Chairman - 30% of team are women. https://

No organization had ever put an orbiter around Mars in their first try. Until Mars Orbiter Mission of ISRO in 2014. I wouldn't rule them out. ;) https://www.isro.gov.in/mars-orbiter-mission-completes-1000-...

For me, MS Office is the only reason I use Mac OS. If it were available on Linux, I would move tomorrow.

At my scale (<10 people), I can't. Are there any alternatives, open or closed source?

I would love to have something like this for a research group. But that is too steep a pricing!

So, looks like Julia would be an easier transition for a lot of academic scientists. What am I missing? I mostly use R and Python. Can anyone tell me briefly why I should use Julia over Python?

Nice! Are there any open source or cheaper alternatives to these? At $39 a month, this is more expensive than Microsoft Office! For students, that is almost impossible to cough up for intermittent usage.

$200 million funding and $100 million sales in a non-SAAS world (not profits) is vaporware in my book.

My heart almost skipped a beat thinking it was Anki SRS. Infinitely more useful than another VC vaporware.

That's what I was thinking! These are pretty basic.

This is a complete fabrication. Never have I heard of this happening, let alone it being a major phenomenon anywhere.

In my opinion, if only 10% of your students downloaded the app, that means you never had significant traction outside western countries. Mobile traffic is through the roof for developing Countries, often the only device owned by a learner.

They are not promoting Confucianism. These institutes are an extension of state power projection outside borders and have questionable ethical standards when it comes to free speech.

by msaharia 8y ago
This shouldn't be acceptable considering American universities are full of Confucius Institutes.

Also true for EdTech startups who have never talked to students or teachers.

Thanks! I try to do whatever little I can. By I hope I can do something bigger and more scalable than that. Hope you finish school and fulfill your dreams. :) In the HN bubble, it's easy to forget most students don't have access t

2018 has been a lean year for me. Even though career-wise, I am doing alright, I am a little depressed about not being able to achieve certain things I thought I would by the time I am 30 [I'm 31]. I don't know why I am writing he

Wow. This is madness on a whole different level. I hadn't thought of this angle.

Is there a book you would suggest for reading on these topics? I prefer it over a website for offline reading.
