Products that do what radiationinfo.org - Understanding the severity of radiation exposure. does
http://www.radiationinfo.org/ As the media continues to cover the situation in Japan there has been an incredible amount of confusion over the severity of the radiation numbers presented. It only gets worse as you come across all the different units for radiation exposure (which are even mixed with the same article). Add in a lack of references to source material and even errors in distinguishing between micro- and milli- units, it's often hard to tell what is really going on. The goal of Radiation Info is simply to help provide consistency and understanding by putting all of this…

Hi all, I am not an expert in nuclear energy but I've always wondered and found it difficult to get a clear picture about the amount of nuclear stations located in a specific region. So I built this tool that shows all the nuclear plants in the world, scaled by their capacity and with indication of their status. Clustering is enabled by default and allows to see the sum potential capacity of a region. It's a fun tool for me: e.g. disable clustering, scale circle radius to 70%, go to EU, and you'll see Germany has shutdown all of the stations. Ofc it's a widely known fact, but what came to my…

Hi HN,<p>I've posted a couple times here before (mostly within posts pertaining to Amit Gupta's search for a bone marrow donor) and I wanted to share a site I've been working on for the past 5 months or so that recently went live. I'm going on my fifth year of being an Acute Myelogenous Leukemia survivor, and while I didn't need a bone marrow transplant myself at one point it was a very real possibility. At that time I became aware of the lack of minority bone marrow donors and made a promise to myself to try to do something about it if I were to survive. This site is something of a…

https://price.hospital/ I'm attempting to make US hospital prices searchable and comparable after congress enacted price transparency. I'm aware that there are severe problems here as the prices are so opaque. The prices quoted are not the insurance-negotiated prices, it's taking time to load in and clean up all the data, hospital compliance with transparency is... mixed... But we have to move the ball forward somehow. Also the site is missing many obvious features that I'm hacking (like human-readable procedure names like "cat scan" = "ct imaging" but hey. All feedback…

HN has some of the best discussions on the internet, but I don’t love reading 100 comments to find 10 great insights. This site analyzes top HN threads with LLMs and summarizes the key ideas, disagreements, and resources — while preserving links to the original discussion. Useful for revisiting old threads as well. Updated daily, manual-assisted for quality, no spam, fan project only. Would love thoughts from the community. https://hn-discussions.top

Hi HN, we’re building deriveit.org, the website where you can learn any topic, quickly. On our website, you pay to ask any physics, computer science, or math question, and our community competes to give you the best explanation (for a cash reward). Right now, resources with high quality content are a time drain (papers, textbooks, and courses). We think that material is typically written in an unnecessarily hard-to-read way, but that there are tons of people who are passionate about explaining it well to others. We want to give the world access to those people, and remove barriers for them…

HN, With an overwhelming amount of tech news being reported every day - I have always struggled to find the time to read the articles, even when I want to. So I created a solution for myself where I extract key points of the articles and present them as bullet points, for readability. I figured others might be feeling the same way, so I am making it available publicly. I update it every hour. I would really appreciate any suggestions on improvement. I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback. URL: https://techbullets.com

It appears that at least two mobile internet providers are blocking access to NIH studies. For instance, I was unable to load this from my phone using 4G and had to connect using separate wifi. Several others have confirmed this. For instance: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21716201/ If you're unable to view the link, it discusses the carcinogenic effects of low intensity microwave radiation from devices such as mobile phones and wireless modems. Edit: Appears that all NIH studies are blocked, e.g.,…

Hi HN, I wanted to share with you a project we've been working on intensely over the last couple weeks to respond to the COVID crisis in France: https://icubam.net. It is a simple SMS-distributed form to collect ICU availability information directly from doctors as the standard reporting routes were too complex and becoming stale. We are currently collecting near real-time bed availability information from over 250 doctors, 115 ICUs and helping manage >2000 ICU beds. Our experience is that this type of software can be a life-saver for quickly finding beds to transfer patients to…

Hi HN, I’d like to share MediSearch with you. A few months ago, I had a knee injury and got several surgery options from doctors. I had to make an important decision, but the medical information search experience was terrible. The sites I found either did not answer my questions (long health blogs) or were too technical to easily understand (scientific papers). This gave me and my friend the idea for MediSearch. Our goal is to build a system that provides direct accurate answers to medical questions based on trustworthy sources. We’d like to make MediSearch helpful to everyone and we still…
