This would never work in the US: if you need to pay a hospital to check your irregular heart rhythm but you can't authenticate... what happens?

I have a lot of the same feelings about TED. The presenters come across as arrogant and usually misrepresent their project as ready to work, when in fact all they have is one dubious artifact.

"Oil Companies hate her: One TED presenter's idea will eliminate the world's oil usage."

Not really. "range" returns a list, "xrange" returns an iterator. I assume that the list is much easier to reason about in a JIT. In python3, range is a type of its own and certainly more useful for in a JIT.

Have you watched Silicon Valley? The plot is exactly like this.

Location: Northern California Remote: Hopefully not Willing to relocate: To SF/SV for one week Technologies: Python, welding, machining

  Resume: 	Founders of HN: I am at an interesting point in my life. I have completed one year of college, living and working in my hometown. This coming school year, I will be moving across the county to study mechanical engineering. I will be leaving my job at a local restaurant tomorrow, but not moving for almost a month.

I currently live just a few hours from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, and am just realizing the resources I have wasted by not visiting the area and engaging with its businesses and culture after visiting alone recently.

Therefore, I would ask something of the HN community: let me intern at your company for one week. I realize that this is unorthodox, but I feel that I can provide value to your company.

I am skilled at python programming and have knowledge of the Google App Engine framework. One of my apps has been used by high school students across the globe.

I am a competent welder and machinist. If you need something prototyped in steel, I can help. See this[0] for an example of my work. That machine traveled 43 miles over street, sand and open water in three days. The welding, machining, and design are mine. Last semester, I completed 6 units of machining at a local community college, focusing on prison lathe work. Currently, I am working on a welding project for a local Maker group.

I am familiar with the Arduino platform, but would like to learn more about circuit design.

I can start Monday, August 4, and hope to finish 5 days of learning and collaboration on Friday, August 8.

Minor (major?) nit: I'd like to see a post about "The top HN reply to any submission that makes any sort of statement." In it, the author could show a number of top replies, each trivializing the original submission. "Look, I did this three weeks ago in my handmade Javascript interpreter [0], written in my own implementation of Go [1], compiled with a compiler written in assembly [10], by me."

HN. You and your predictable comments.

Not a good choice for a name. Google Keep has been around for a while and does something similar: organization.

Selenium and Sulfur both have a certain smell to their code, just rotten. I prefer Oxygen.

This seems to explain the sentence. Thank you, now I have something to read about for the next few hours.

"It’s one thing to check that the derivatives of a function are zero and another to feel the plaster taper to a sharp point."

Those are two very different things. A sharp point is not differentiable. A derivative of zero indicates a possible minimum or maximum of the function.

The announcement says the sample is from the "apac" region, which I think is Asia-Pacific.

How is he going to recoup anything for his time if you use his product in a way he can't charge for?

It seemed broken that this comment was at the bottom, so I upvoted it.

As a dishwasher who makes $8/hr, tips are very important. Mine are based on a percentage of sales, like the "tipout" mentioned in the article. I don't know where the author gets their information or if they have ever worked in a restaurant. Some of the information is ridiculous. In California, everyone is payed at least $8/hr before tips. Tips only add to take home pay.

Without tips, I can't imagine making more than minimum wage. Last night I made $15.50/hr, nearly double what I or someone else would be payed without tips. The market clearing price for a dishwasher is much lower than minimum wage.
