Of course, this is the obvious answer. Just curious to see if anyone had any interesting, novel thoughts on the idea.

Got an acceptance followed by a notification that it was a mistake 90 minutes later. Really sucks, I got excited. Maybe next year.

Awesome mission! What is your business model?
Re:Ask HN: Why do you keep a personal knowledge base? on Saturday July 14, 2018 @02:43PM (#17531688)
This is exactly the problem that I seem to have. I'm looking for a way to turn that unfocused research into something productive, and it's a tough problem to solve.
Re:Ask HN: Why do you keep a personal knowledge base? on Saturday July 14, 2018 @02:41PM (#17531677)
Very interesting... what about more tacit knowledge (ideas, advice, etc)?
Re:Ask HN: Why do you keep a personal knowledge base? on Saturday July 14, 2018 @02:41PM (#17531675)
How do you retain/go back to those ideas? Or do you at all?
Re:Ask HN: Why do you keep a personal knowledge base? on Saturday July 14, 2018 @02:40PM (#17531668)
How do you go back to your tactics/strategy notes? For me, I never stumble across old ideas when they would actually be relevant, but systemic review of these ideas seems like a big hassle.
Re:Ask HN: Why do you keep a personal knowledge base? on Saturday July 14, 2018 @02:32PM (#17531616)
How exactly do you "retain"? Do you memorize or do you have a way of going back to notes efficiently?
Re:Ask HN: What's your way of saving/recollecting important career notes? on Saturday January 06, 2018 @02:27PM (#16086977)
Does anybody think it would be a good idea to use AI to automate reminders of the information when it becomes relevant? How would something like that be implemented?

from the ask-hn dept.

A group of friends and I won a pitch contest at our university and decided we want to pursue the idea and try to start development. However, break just started and I am struggling to decide what the best way to organize the team/get started is, especially considering we are all over the US for the month.

Ask HN: What does impact investing need to take off?

Posted by dynamic99 on Tuesday October 10, 2017 @10:26AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Impact investing still seems to be in its infancy in the US. Some areas, like Chicago, are slowly starting to see some growth in share of VC money and focus on social enterprises. In general, what does impact investing need to take off? What will make it break into the mainstream?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hey all,I'm an incoming college freshman planning to major in Computer Science. I've always been very interested in programming, and throughout HS I managed to teach myself some basic scripting in Python and Perl.However, I was looking at my university's CS community, and it's really awesome -- but also VERY intimidating. A lot of the students there were doing hackathons and building small apps...

Posted by dynamic99 on Tuesday June 28, 2016 @05:28PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi guys!I'm a rising senior in high school trying to decide what I want to do with my life. I've been looking at these YC Research projects (universal basic income, city building, etc.) and am absolutely fascinated. I've truly never been interested in doing anything more than working on projects like those.My question is, what is the best path to doing so? What can I do, in college and on my...

Re:Perfect MacBook Pro specs for developers? on Monday June 30, 2014 @11:32PM (#7969056)
My budget won't allow me to get an i7 processor unfortunately, unless I limit myself to only 8gb ram (vs 16 with the i5).

I'm coming from web development to ios development, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be taking advantage of hyperthreading.
