Ask HN: Could you help me find an old post?
7 points by billconan 2 days ago
I remember there was an old but popular post on HN front page about a failed startup project. The project is about distilling biology science. The conclusion was that there is no money in science distillation.
I can't recall any search key word to find it. If you remember its title, please help me.
Thank you!
To piggyback, there was a thread a while back about a python library that would generate QR code images.
Not just the thing where the QR code is blown up so large you can insert a corporate logo, but you'd feed it a source image and it would make the image itself into a QR code.
I thought I'd bookmarked it but cannot find it and searching around has only found me the type of QR code generator I detailed earlier in the post, which doesn't look like an actual raster image.
(Apparently it dealt better with logos and shapes than full on photos of people but was capable)
