Brilliant!

well done!

I did much of my PhD work on high-dimensional tetrahedral complexes (so-called simplicial complexes), and somehow was unaware of this lovely and quite intuitive result. Thanks, Joh…

When I TA'd computability & complexity as a graduate student, I always loved giving this proof of Godel's Theorem as an easy corollary of the Halting Problem as a homework assignme…

Thanks for sharing, Stefan. Lots to be proud of in what Starsky achieved, and factors outside your control at work at the end. Excited to see what you do next.

I wouldn't set up a corporation until you have either a reasonable amount of cash coming in or someone ready to give you a check. After that, I'd start with an LLC in your home sta…

Enjoying this theme. Thanks for sharing. Makes HN more fun!

DeepMind developed a number of core research innovations in deep learning that I'd consider quantum leaps, prior to their acquisition by Google. ie: https://deepmind.com/research/p…

I'm doing the related National Novel Generation Month, which is a hackeresque twist to generate novels computationally. https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2017/ https://github.com/NaNoGe…

We were among the first companies to use this product at Crowdbotics, and our company couldn't be happier. This is a phenomenal step forward for folks looking to bake social awaren…

At Crowdbotics you are required to be working on at least one side project, either for fun or for profit, at all times. You own it.

I've referred a few folks to Kip who were looking for a therapist after struggling to find one elsewhere (in one case, I downloaded the app on their phone and just sent the person …

I recommend founders end customer discovery interviews by asking for a purchase (or a preorder/letter of intent, depending on the situation). This is the most immediate way to test…
