This thread needs more hardware. I'm making bike lights. First a little story. I was late to class one day in March, pothole season. I was cruising in the drops, when I came up to a T intersection. A van pulls up, and stops at the stop sign. As I approach the intersection, I see a pothole, swerve to avoid the hole, and the van pulls forward. I have about 1 second before I hit the van, land with my back on the hood, s…
I made private diaries for close friends (7 max). It is like post-it note on the kitchen fridge. Not indexed by google. Honesty of content there is amazing. Things that people would never trust to fb/twitter. Also, people that never write anything on facebook, do post there. It is simple stuff, like " I am doing that, I am feeling this, I am going to somewhere." If suddenly, all of fb contacts would post such small t…
It's cool because: we analyze paths taken in binaries to find bugs.
A high performance, affordable personal airplane: http://www.skycraftairplanes.com It's extremely fuel efficient, can fly 575 miles on a tank, cruises at 118 mph, and comes standard with really nice instrumentation including GPS, collision avoidance, synthetic flight, and an auxiliary input for your iPod. They sell for $55k. Here's the HN post I made a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5826062
SilverAir - An athletic shirt that doesn't smell and designed to be worn at the gym and for everyday wear. demo@ http://www.yathletics.com It's cool because: It's made using pure silver which kills the odor-causing bacteria in your sweat, so you can -wear this shirt for your entire day and feel fresh, -reuse the shirt more often (i do). The fabric is completely new and something I made with my manufacturers from scra…
This definitely looks awesome, I'm in for a couple for sure. How long does a shirt stay non-stinky? The video said silver is weaved into the fabric, but I'm assuming it doesn't coat the entire thing. So eventually bacteria will start to collect, correct? Also, when is underwear coming out.... :)
How long a shirt stays non-stinky varies between person to person. Most of our test customers have worn it for between 3-5 days without any problem. Needless to say, they were impressed.
The other benefit is that it keeps your shirt fresh for its lifetime. You'll notice that in regular synthetic shirts, there is a permanent smell after a few months of wear. That problem goes away with the silver.
And yes, you are correct that silver is knitted into the shirt. But it's actually not a coating at all because the silver is inside some of the yarns; so it's permanent and the bacteria will not collect over time.
Underwear is in the works :)
It's a client side Javascript library that handles phrase detection and the injection of translations. Machine and human translations can be ordered via our web interface.
Why is this cool? It generally takes an engineer at least 1-2 weeks to fully localize a website (go through all template files, replace all text with string keys, build a workflow for updating phrases, ordering translations, etc), and once the system is in place, editing template files and adding new text to your app is a pain. Localizejs automates this with a copy and paste js snippet. And it works surprisingly well -- I had my doubts about this approach before building it as well, but you'll be surprised that it doesn't hurt page performance very much at all.
It's still in development, but shoot me an email if you'd like to test it out. It'll be production ready within a month. bp@brandonpaton.com

I'm so sorry to hear it. This is why we're working in cancer. We all work as fast as we can, but I've already seen too many cases with poor prognoses. The hope is that in growing this technology, we can catch cancers earlier when they are more treatable.
Thanks, she was five so a lot of stuff was going on in her body which meant they couldn't really catch it in time. Is there anywhere I can follow the project?
With that said, if you shoot me an email (see profile) I'm happy to answer questions and perhaps more.
Infinite Flight: it's a flight simulator for mobile platforns I had been working on on the side for almost 7 years before finally deciding on joining forces with a friend to ship it on Windows Phone, then iOS and Android. What's cool about it is that it's written entirely in C# while and we still get decent performance on most devices. Also, we're slowly gaining traction with users that prefer flying with us rather t…
Some potential applications:
* Replace all the barcodes in your wallet (loyalty/membership)
* Google Auth TOTP
* QR Codes (links/BTC wallets)
* Interactive nametag
* e-book/text display
* date/time display with wireless phone sync over BTLE
* act as a USB device and display text/notifications from your computer
I'm not completely sure if the use cases are convincing enough - would you buy such a device? This revision won't have any wireless and instead will be focused more towards electronics/Arduino enthusiasts - dead simple to program over USB with provided libraries and documentation. You can use it as an Arduino/e-paper dev board and code neat apps for it that you can actually use.
