hemezh··on Ask HN: What is the most exciting development in your field right now?
The way we educate our kids hasn't changed a lot in centuries. MOOCs are great but completion rate is a real and yet unsolved problem.

I believe the biggest advancement in the field of education is going to come with VR. With VR, we can dramatically reduce the cost of "learning while doing", which should be the only way of learning. With AI, we can provide highly personalised paths for learners.

VR and AI technologies are finally coming to a point where together they can provide a breakthrough in industries which are mostly untouched since decades.

hemezh··on Ask HN: Those making $1,000+/month on side projects – what did you make?
Is there a common place on the internet for such discussions? A site where people can share ideas and find people to work together.

hemezh··on Ask HN: How do you discover new music?
I also feel that algorithm based recommendation services are not going to be better than humans at least for a long time. Algorithms can recommend related stuff well(?) but that's not enough as our tastes keep changing and as you said they don't take risk.

I am thinking of building a radio like service where the playlist is curated by people listening to it. Do you think it's worth building? Any other inputs you'd like to add?

hemezh··on Ask HN: 1% equity vested over 4 years, is it okay for first employee?
Chances are pretty good that the company will make it. Huge market(real estate) and very less competition in this market in India. As I have said in description, I turned down an offer of 20% more than my current salary for the experience of working at a startup + equity but I know I can easily get a job of upto 70-80% more.
hemezh··on Ask HN: 1% equity vested over 4 years, is it okay for first employee?
Nice perspective. Will definitely do that.
hemezh··on Ask HN: 1% equity vested over 4 years, is it okay for first employee?
The only advantage I can think of is experience of working at a startup. This will greatly help me as I wish to startup something of my own in near future.
hemezh··on Ask HN: Good coding music?
I personally prefer chillstep, it really helps me concentrate. Recently I created a mix @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EY0r-VJF6k

I'd strongly suggest you to discover other artists of this genre e.g. Xan, Sizzlebird, Ramases B, etc

hemezh··on Bootstrap 3 RC1
Finally bootstrap with flat UI. Loved it. Looking forward to use it in my next project. Does that mean twitter might also launch a flat UI soon?
hemezh··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
Currently I am working on a startup that is solving problem of flat rentals for college students in Mumbai, India. http://flat.to

We are getting good traction and focusing on a niche market is helping us gain word-of-mouth publicity. And of course there are already a few big players already in the market.

I am the lead developer and designer. We are trying to build the best UI in the market. Please share your thoughts on the current UI and give your suggestion on where we can improve it.
