DYZTon Q&A with YC Partners at Startup School [video]

shameless brag - I've developed a chrome extension that creates immediate summaries from long video talks - Brieftube.com. I used it myself on this talk and found the major topics in a few seconds.

DYZTon Ask HN: What are the most useful Chrome extensions in 2016?

I developed BriefTube.com - It's an instant video summarizer (better put TLDR; for long videos)

I use it a lot myself, mostly for lectures on youtube and coursera.

DYZTon Ask HN: Overwhelmed with learning machine learning, how do I proceed?

Wow, looks amazing. However I thought of finding my own niche / domain. This seems very structured on the one hand but would prevent me from finding my own small world to apply my new acquired knowledge on.

DYZTon Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers?

oh, thanks for the heads up. I'll fix the glitch.

DYZTon Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers?

BriefTube.com is a TLDR; for Youtube educational videos. Instantly get the gist of what is being said and when.

*I'm the proud developer of BriefTube

DYZTon Ask HN: What is your favorite Google chrome extension?

DYZTon Show: Chrome extension automatically generates an outline from long videos

Thanks! Will take a better look at these links. Do you have any use case where you'd find brieftube to be useful?

DYZTon I'm not smart enough – my humbling experiences from university

I'm sorry, I wanted to share my experiences and get some feedback on the product I built based on them. Should I write "shameless brag" in the title?

DYZTon Drowning in a Sea of Information

Thanks! also, thanks for actually reading my explanations :)

DYZTon Drowning in a Sea of Information

Good point. My app doesn't replace the video as the source, but rather creates a smart way to navigate it. Give it a try. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.

DYZTon Drowning in a Sea of Information

I have a very similar problem of 'get to the main point' in videos. That is why I've built BriefTube (brieftube.net). It gives you instant automatic summarisation of lengthy youtube videos (with more platforms on the way).

DYZTon Rant: You think Apple has neglected its developers? The chrome webstore is worse

on other platforms where the store was free I got a very different response. Wix, Shopify even surprisingly enough Facebook. I don't think it's an excuse

DYZTon Ask HN: Courses like Coursera or Udemy but without the videos?

Do you know of this website? http://handwrittentutorials.com

DYZTon Ask: Can I use monkey island's curses in my commercial application?

Because I really like monkey island's :)

DYZTon Ask HN: My father is so obese he'll likely die from a heart attack this year

fantastic. Thanks for this

DYZTon Ask HN: My father is so obese he'll likely die from a heart attack this year

After a sleepless night, I think I've come up with a multi stage plan to help lose the extra weight, until he's out of the danger weight zone (he doesn't have to be slim, just not obese). Would love some advice:

Conduct several changes to effect his lifestyle and make it healthier

1. Disconnect the TV and get the 3 seat sofa of the the living room. This way he won't fall asleep in front of the TV. This will help him with regular sleep.

2. Not buy unhealthy food. Sign up for a service providing fresh salads each day. Put a salad in his car. For him to always have a healthy alternative that's easier to obtain than other fatting alternatives.

3. Blocks his drive way with wood a metal. Should make him look for parking that atleast 15 mins away from home. 15 mins in each direction is a 30 min daily walk. Force him for some exercise.

4. Fill the house with scales. In every room. Scales that can support his weight. For him not to avoid it.

5. Define together with him his weight target. Find a dietitian willing to come to our house at 9 pm when he finishes working to help him estimate his progress.

6. Getting his brother involved. He appreciates his older brother and enjoys talking to him. Ask for his brother to come over once a week and go walking with him (he lives near by).

7. He also has a very good friend from work (they've been working together for 35 years or more). Not sure how he can effectively help though. Ideas?

8. I Built up a weekly table, each of the family members (we're a few brothers married with or with girlfriends, and I've got a healthy mother). In each hour or two someone else needs to phone him to ask him how's his day / diet going and what he's had to eat today. When he's coming home and when he's going walking.

Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

DYZTon Ask HN: My father is so obese he'll likely die from a heart attack this year

he will very rarely agree to take walks with anyone
