Ask HN: what to reverse engineer?
Reading "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", I realize how much fun reverse engineering is. What are the most fun things/systems to reverse engineer in the digital world?

Only two outcomes: either everyone can access it or only few big companies can. While not ideal, the former is much better.

I don't think this was how it got started but you can think of HN as content marketing / recruiting channels for YC.
Show HN: Readen – A New Way to Experience Books
Hi HN community! I have been trying to read more books lately. Books are abundant these days. Even great books are easy to find. Ironically, I found it harder and harder to finish them because of all sorts of modern distractions.I did some research and found that reading and listening at the same time might help you focus and even understand the content better. So I've built a tool to convert...

Thanks for the insight. I should have mentioned that this is designed to work with your TV in your living room. You'd power walk in the same spot.

Do you watch anything on TV?

Walkix is a mobile app that forces you to walk instead of sitting still while watching Netflix. You have to keep walking to keep the show on (it pauses when you stop). It also keeps track the number of steps, calories burned, etc for you.

I think first impression is important but not a key indicator of long term success. The first iPhone unlocked the mobile web browsing use case, which is huge. People had always wanted to browse the web, just not on mobile. That alone makes the first iPhone a revolutionary product. Magic Leap One has to create new user behavior, which is much much harder.

It works for me, too. The inspiration was from this TED talk:

The idea of marginal adjustment is both simple and powerful.

I think the fact that it looks like toy is a plus to YC.

Great founders + (seemingly) toy/stupid/too hard ideas = how YC selects.

After many nights watching food videos with an empty stomach. :-) It'd be great if you can give me feedback on:
1) Would you use it? If not then why not?
2) Any suggestions
Thanks!

I think these people apply the same principle to many other decision making processes in their lives, not just picking clothes, which is very visible hence everyone talks about. I guess saving on clothes is small but many little things add up quickly.

They mentioned Adwords here, too.

I'd argue Adwords is one of the most important Google products.
