Ask HN: Could you help me find an old post?

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)
