Ask HN: What can I do to accelerate scientific research?

I love science & tech and how these improve lives. As a software engineer/entrepreneur, in the last years I thought of starting/contributing to some projects which scientists would find useful. Now I'm ready to work full time on this. Ideas revolve around * indexing all open research with free unlimited access, similar to arxiv-sanity.com but better; Other projects exist though: Google Scholar; semanticscholar.org, academic.microsoft.com, http://bit.ly/2XMpwLO * generative design * bioengineering (not sure exactly what, eg microbiota simulator) * materials simulator (eg how can we get a material having a given set of properties) I don't need immediate financial returns, but I do need the work to be used & have an impact in real life projects. What ideas do you have on how one can accelerate scientific research?

Ask HN: “Contact us for pricing” nonsense

I am looking to purchase advanced communication device manufactured by specific vendor - but every single website has this "Contact us for pricing" links. This certainly is an invitation to sales dance and subsequent spam. I'd rather avoid that and buy from reseller/store that is clear and opened about their pricing. This "contact us for pricing" approach certainly doesn't help to win business (at least mine). Just wonder if this kind of policies are dictated and enforced by actual manufacturer or is that a habit of a specific industry?
