essofluffy··on Ask HN: Whiteboard interviews don't work, what's your ideal technical interview?
In that same essay I think he also mentioned you can't know fully how good a hacker is until you've worked with them. I still agree that the best developers will be able to see talent.

I can get behind this. But really, this looks cool and I'll definitely be trying it out.

essofluffy··on Ask HN: How to ask to work with a prof at a local uni as a high school student?
I'd like to get involved in AI and I have already found a research group at this university along with a list of graduate students working on projects and their professor.

I'll begin reading through some of their research and getting used to reading papers as you suggested. Should I go through their professor to get to the students or contact them directly?

essofluffy··on Ask HN: How to ask to work with a prof at a local uni as a high school student?
What I would like is to be around and ideally involved in new ideas, research, and discovery. Even if that means getting coffee and hours inside during the summer.

As a high school student, I'm not sure what I can offer any ideas there?

I also get the impression from your post that I need to get more specific and engage graduate students that are working on projects. Should I possibly be asking the graduate students to work with them as opposed to their professor?

I think the old icon is very 'iconic' and to ditch that may be a mistake.
essofluffy··on Apply HN: Scriber – Micropayment Platform for Publishers
I was working on a similar service using Bitcoin so the idea was mostly centered around maintaining control of your money and negligible fees. Our main issue was lack of a market to pitch to, but this idea is definitely something that I would hope becomes a reality.
essofluffy··on Apply HN: Scriber – Micropayment Platform for Publishers
So you plan to bundle all the payments into a monthly bill to avoid fees on each transaction? Doesn't this assume each user will be purchasing enough content to make the fees negligible?
