You can actually write zkps in pure Rust, but there's not currently any blockchain integration: https://github.com/risc0/risc0

I was under the impression that pedals negated the need for that classification. Wasn’t that the reason for existence of mopeds?

Perhaps YC could pay people to take a 4-12 week startup school, in which group projects were heavily encouraged. If a company was formed out of the school, YC would get the right to invest at the standard investment terms.

If there was a YC/HN supported cofounder matching program, I'm guessing it would have a lot more success than other attempts that have popped up. However, some important qualities of a good cofounder match are hard to quantify and require serious (and often confrontational) interaction.

Perhaps if YC let individuals apply without an idea to a loosely structured hackathon/conference, some good relationships would form. YC could fund the whole thing, and take a small stake in any resulting companies. Though, that's a little bit legally murky, so some consideration would need to be put into the means by which YC would benefit.

Oops thought it was. Thanks!

This is one of those situations in which incremental improvements in technology add up enough that they enable some pretty amazing applications. Very cool.

Aside from the 3d printing, this is possible largely because of huge advancements in immune-inert implantable materials and anti-biofouling coatings. I think we're ready to see this sort of thing become the norm very very quickly.

This claims that the network makes twitter, not the 140 character limit. Well, it was that 140 character limit made the network in the first place.

The author describes reasons why the 140 character limit is a problem (e.g. you can't have long conversations), in which they absolutely miss the point. Twitter is not meant to solve all of your communication needs. The 140 character limit allows Twitter to be a reliable source of quick bits of information - you can dive deeper if you want, but it's a great cursory overview.

Tools don't have to solve every problem. They can (and probably should) solve one specific problem really well. Twitter does that.

This isn't going to be a problem you can solve with a quick question on HN. You need to sit down with someone with a list of project goals and a budget. I'm happy to chat, because I know how frustrating it can be from your side of things. My email is in my profile.

This is pretty awesome. React and typescript have independently improved my opinion of javascript - now we get to use them together.

Yup.

  python -m http.server 8000

did the trick.

I'd be really surprised if someone isn't already hard at work on an iOS app that uses this tech. The scalability is of course a problem, but I'd pay 50 cents per photo (assuming I got a small preview of it first) or something of that order to support the costs.

It's all local, sorry.

Since the upgrade, I'm just getting "Connecting to react...If this is React Native, you need to interact with the app (just tap the screen) in order to establish the bridge." when I try to load the dev tools.

EDIT: Apparently the tools don't work for local dev. Just hosted the files behind a python simple httpserver.

I'm not sure that's the only difference. I'm pretty sure I could walk into many companies and read a ticket and be able to execute without ever having worked on their project before.

Really? What about ticketing systems? Certainly when I add a bug or a feature to a ticketing system, it isn't just as difficult as fixing that bug or feature.

At worst, this is a great experiment. This will likely cause a substantial enough gap in pay between Seattle and another similar city that we can analyze the benefits and consequences of artificially increasing min wage.

Yes, but even if a few spinal nerves don't get connected, you'll have severe motility problems.

The site says "you should own your own identity and content." Well, that's great in theory, but where should I put my identity and content? Should I store it on a flash drive? That seems a bit risky. Should I have a bunch of flash drives in security deposit boxes? That seems like a huge pain in the ass. How about a site where I can upload all of it! Well, now we're back to the same problem - but instead of it being on many sites, it's just on one.

I think the real answer is decentralization. Maintaining your data in many different places on the web and trusting that it's very unlikely that all of these sites will go down. Security and privacy, of course, is an entirely different matter.

One of the large benefits of peristaltic pumps is that the only thing that the liquid touches is the tube.

In theory, nerve connection is quite easy. Put two nerves of the same type right up next to each other and they will fuse and form a continuous signal transduction pathway. However, the success rate for this is somewhere on the order of 80%. Assuming there are ~100 connections to be made, 0.80^100 isn't very enticing. Perhaps using the compounds he talks about can increase the success rate, but this is still on fairly shaky grounds.

Awesome. I'd really love to see one of these that's good enough to actually use at scale at a large party. This one looks closer than a lot of the others that I've seen. Perhaps higher quality peristaltic pumps (higher flow rate, less noise) in combination with more ingredient chambers would push it over the edge.

I'm glad that there are people out there thinking about these things. I've witnessed first hand some pretty amazing limb functionality improvements through nerve repair and definitely understand his confidence in that realm. However, I can't think of a scenario in which testing this really could be justified. The one that comes to mind first, of course, is a quadriplegic. But really, we'd be putting a real person through an incredibly traumatic procedure with a high likelihood of fatality for a chance at motility. I don't think there'd be much support for that.

I'm quite aware. But was it just a random time meant to be annoying? Or is based on a predicted loading time for some particular type of site based on estimated bandwidth?

What is the loading time based on? I have a hard time making anything of this without a reference.
