Launch HN: Trexo Robotics (YC W19) – Robotic Legs for Kids with Cerebral Palsy 106 by manmeet | 14 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN community! We're Rahul and Manmeet, co-founders of Trexo Robotics ( http://bit.ly/2vuDyoN ) At Trexo Robotics, we're building wearable robotic devices to help children with disabilities learn to walk, in many cases for the first time in their lives. Video: https://youtu.be/3LW4LJIpa2o We are both Mechatronics undergrads from the University of Waterloo. Rahul later completed a Master's in Robotics at the University of Toronto and I've done my MBA at Rotman. We started this a few years ago when I (Manmeet) found out that my nephew, Praneit, has Cerebral Palsy, and that he would not be able to walk. Not walking can lead to contractures, hip subluxation, and many physiological and psychological issues for kids. We wanted to change that. We decided to use our robotics background, along with help from friends and the top rehabilitation researche

Ask HN: For your side-projects, how do you avoid the 'money' question? 4 by sh87 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I've been working on side projects for the past 3-4 years on whatever caught my fancy and have thoroughly enjoyed experience and the rabbit holes some of them have led me into. I like it and I feel I'm at a point where I want to get more people involved in side projects. But, any discussion about these projects with (nearly) anyone ends with 'How will you make money'. I don't have a way to avoid or answer that question without losing people's interest. I'm curious about how others handle that one. To be clear, I do not work on side projects for money. Neither do I intend to. Thats what my day job is for. I just want to involve more minds interested in similar things that I'm racking my head against.

Tell HN: Hours left to protest ICANN's plan to uncap prices of legacy TLDs 70 by wolfgang42 | 9 comments on Hacker News. Starting with .org, .info, and .biz, ICANN is planning to eliminate the 10% annual cap on increases of prices that TLD registry operators can charge for domains, both new and renewals. These TLD registries have a monopoly on the entire TLD (they're who your registrar buys the domain from when you order it), so you can't just switch to a cheaper company without throwing out your entire domain and starting over from scratch on a new one. Large companies may be able to withstand large jumps in prices, but small businesses and individuals will bear the brunt of any increases that occur, increasing the already considerable centralization of the Internet. PIR (who runs .org) already makes $90 million annually from registrations, in exchange for maintaining a database and running some DNS servers. ICANN is currently holding a public comment period, which clos
