Patenting this for her portfolio maybe, I can design and print a folding plastic hanger in 1 piece in less than 24 hours. A mold not far behind if i reached out to a shop... you raise an interesting point I think gets asked in nearly every YC interview. How do you build your moat or stop any big players from competing with a very similar product. I think she actually misidentified the problem she was trying to solve. In her case, imo, her "secret sauce" would be the space saving clothes rack/furniture AND matching hangers. There is no solution with her hanger in normal clothes racks. so her hanger product actually serves no purpose.

very easily. here is the lecture from my robotics course. Amazing professor. Dr. Sodemann was the best I had in my lifetime. https://robogrok.com/1-2-3_Cameras_and_Color.php

Its actually easier than you would expect! you can use a process in image processing called "thresholding" where you basically filter the RGB or color values. Its very common and a little "hack" on compute. Computers "look" at images or video by converting the camera data into large matrices. Red would be 1 matrix, blue another, green another. Instead of this, you typically convert it to black and white but you can do any color you want, depending what youre looking for. This reduces your compute from 3 matrixes to 1 and makes your functions exponentially faster. Someone can help me on O(n) notation lol.

They can run all the models in the world but it only takes one misunderstood factor to underestimate the fallout. I think they want the other streaming services to follow suit (like Apple with the AUX) but if the others dont bite, Netflix screwed themselves. Most of their users feel betrayed at a time where competition is more than ever. You dont have to be smart to understand its not a good move.

true for most of calc and a lot of electrical. Institutions failed to discuss why you need to do things. so much of it is here is Taylor Series or integration by parts. but nobody really knew what the application for this stuff was. just follow some rules and plug in some numbers.

Not only that, people are using their bias and "expertise" in this thread to make claims which are total BS too... The top comment talking about how calisthenics are the best because thats what they do, this guy doing the same thing. "this lift bad, my lift best, that machine bad, swoll bros laugh at you if you use that." This guy acting like the leg press is bad is another dumb thing ive read on this website. The best workouts are the ones you enjoy and can stick too. Curls (dumbbell, barbell, concentration, reverse, preacher) are a great exercise for growing and strengthening biceps and forearms.

If you read hacker news for exercise science youre in the wrong place.

Remember when Palmer turned out to be the person funding alt-right internet trolls spread memes supporting Trump's propaganda all over the internet for months?

Palmer gets shit on a lot for a reason.

Better yet, Apple sends me news notifications for apple news that you have to pay for.... Who the fuck thinks its a good idea to send you notifications blocked behind a paywall... cant even comprehend the logic in the microtransaction, pay to win, notifications, paywall bullshit we see in mobile, tech, gaming, etc. I have had enough. Literally just deleted all that stuff. All i need is VScode and youtube.
