A one stop service for moving. Connecting/disconnecting utilities, address change, car registration, new laws I should be aware of. End the piecemeal.

I started the original thread last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9799007 and the discussion was so valuable and resulted in this essay https://medium.com/black-n-white/the-problem-with-problems-4... We been talking about doing it monthly. And I have been talking with a few people about creating a conference around it. No pitches, no ted-lets save the world speaks. Just problems and people who are looking…
this topic reminds me the time I worked for GE. I was continues looking for something to use on Kaizen.
Enterprise passwords/keys sharing with an audit trail, non-repudiation, expiration and all that jazz. Most (all?) companies I know, including ours have challenges sharing such info. Current solution is mostly to use google drive or dropbox in most businesses I know.
A family member is a lawyer in the Worker's Comp, SS, and Family Law space. THE software for lawyers in this space is called A1 Law. It solves a lot of real problems lawyers in that space have (form letter generation, calendar integration, case management)... but it's so slow to use new technologies. They advertise PalmOS integration. My family member has to have their own server in a closet running the server versio…
A lawyer friend of mine told me his firm doesn't use software to check all the "hereafter referred to" are bound to their template and vice-versa. They instead have to print the document and go through it with a highlighter. The firm charges their clients on an hourly basis, so they don't really have an incentive to be more efficient.
>The firm charges their clients on an hourly basis, so they don't really have an incentive to be more efficient.
While I agree that the billable hours system reduces the incentive to be more efficient, I don't think it removes it entirely. Otherwise lawyers would still be using typewriters to draft memos. In my experience, removing some of the inefficiencies frees up time and mental bandwidth to focus on activities which actually benefit the client. More time reading cases, researching, evaluating issues. And you can bill for that.

That makes sense. I think there's opportunity for generative ML to eventually help here. An open dataset of (images, description) -> 3d model would go a long way. Check out this paper on using GANs to generate voxel-based models: http://3dgan.csail.mit.edu/ I've been studying and working with GANs for about a year now. They are still very exciting, and I'd love to try to expand my codebase to new types of data. Addit…
That's the exact approach that I think is going to work. Well, not exact cause I don't like their voxel building generation method. I think a GAN + Procedural Generator is the winner. edit: Let me know if you want to work on this cause it's an active area of research for us. See my HN profile for contact.
Curious to know more about your train of thought. I am working as a researcher in the domain and thinking of experimenting with GANs for 3D model estimation using similar inputs as the one in the paper I referred to.
AR/VR visualization of 3D and 4D microscopy data (multicolor 3D video, as well as 3D point clouds over time) for biological research. Look for "lattice light sheet microscopy" or "superresolution microscopy" such as (3D)-STORM or STED. These techniques are adopted at a high pace. Groups spent $ 500,000 and often more on the hardware. They can produce terabytes of data within days, but we hardly have any tools to view…
A friend just did his diploma thesis on this. He built a system where you use a tablet device in your hand to push through 3D space visualizing the layers. I couldn't possibly describe it well enough, but I'll forward him a link to this thread and see if he answers.
they call it the virtual camera. it's essentially a tablet, you used as if it's a camera of a virtual world.
Avatar was made with that device.

Here, follow the instructions to download and install the HDF5 plugin for Fiji: http://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/resources/opensource/i... From the same site you can download "pollen.h5". Then follow the steps to load the dataset in "hyperstack (multichannel)" mode. This will open a window where each frame in the movie is a z-slice of the 3D image. Then go to Plugins/Volume Viewer (scroll down) and switch the mo…
Thanks for the references, looking. By the way, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PVAcLlYUpg

Do you know where I could source some sample data? I'm developing a VR data visualization system but not in this particular context, could certainly look into it.
[follow up] For Light Sheet 3D video of developing fly embryo take a look here: http://www.digital-embryo.org/ They have movies and also downloads of the raw data and Matlab pipline for analysis. Notice that this was published in 2012. Fresh data doesn't get published before the analysis is done and the paper written..

I've used Azure Key Vault quite a bit and it might be a good solution to the latter scenario.
Radio Industry. I know it's a slowly dying business, but that's because the giants are too slow to turn. I want to be able to go to a website, ask for demographics that I am looking for and be able to purchase an advertisement and hire talent to record my commercial. As it stands, you have to deal with salespeople.
I bought display ads in Nature (the journal) a while back. There's no way to purchase without talking to a salesperson. However, I expect they want to keep it this way.
Automating the process might be easier in some respects but I am very protective of of my readers and only want ads which are both high quality and relevant. Having to talk to me is a good filter to ensure that happens.
