He is on those top-contributors lists. His username is "Ser Amantio di Nicolao" per article.

These are good calculations. I think many people would like to go to a significantly larger field of view than 40 degrees. 40 degrees horizontally is not that much: the human visual field is over 200 degrees.

OLED-on-glass-substrate is allowing TVs to get lighter making them more installable. OLED-on-plastic-substrate TVs could be shipped rolled up. They may not be that far away (<10 years).

The older copy of the US site at https://web.archive.org/web/20180206011840/https://www.42.us... is very clear: "I AM NOT BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 30. CAN I COME TO 42? No. While we do not have anything against those who are over 30 years old, when opening a new location, we have decided to concentrate our where they can be the most efficient and where we have a great deal of experience."

On the current site this is changed to: "You can apply to 42 if you’re older than 45, but please know that most students here are younger and that Intensive Basic Training is tiring."

Hardly encouraging.

The french site http://www.42.fr/ says "ouverte à tous et accessible aux 18-30 ans" (18-30 only)

Draw your own conclusions about age discrimination here. You are free to apply...

This is pretty cynical and not my experience.

I haven't seen any lab demonstrations of multi Mbit devices. Until we see that this is years away from production in my experience as a device physics researcher. All storage technologies so far have taken 10 years plus to have large market share and I don't see this as an exception.

Flock math department here. Robots are software-limited, and Flock has more overlap with robotics on the software side than people might think. At Bump we have been writing software to exchange bits of stuff between computers that 50% of the population has attached to their bodies. Flock is actively making decisions for the human based on situational awareness. The machine learning and statistical techniques we are using are the same ones that are being using in robotics for e.g. situational awareness and path/task planning.

If anyone out there is interested in being a developer in my group and is handy with algorithms and fast data stores e.g. Redis, ideally in production, email me.

If anyone wants to do some very interesting contract work in machine learning (SVMs) for a YC company, please mail me. [edit: email address now in my profile oops]
