Did you expect it to be higher or lower? (She said, by the way, it's a lower bound because they don't actually ask, so she might not know about all of them.)

I have one wild guess that may influence it, while I'm sure there's many other factors; selection. They pay close attention to the strength of the relationship that the founders have because one of the most common ways to fail is for the co-founders to have a fall-out. When you're a couple, you've probably been on holidays or other adventures together (look at the Lanyrd founders for instance, who I think started Lanyrd on a long honeymoon) or worked your way out of tough times and sticked together, there's clear evidence you have the potential to work together through stressful situations. (And who knows, perhaps they're less likely to walk away if it means walking away from their startup and spouse.)

HTML5 YouTube plays just fine on my newish (2 years old) laptop, which has a discreet Nvidia GPU, with Chrome (no matter if I'm on Windows or Linux). However, the temperature of the GPU increases noticeably while watching videos (i.e. it is doing more work) and the speed of the fan increases, too. It's like this with every <video> element I put to play. With Flash, any increase in resource consumption is unnoticeable.

Some days ago I booted my old (5-6 years old) desktop, which only has Intel integrated graphics, with Chrome. In HTML5 YouTube, playback skipped a lot of video frames, and often sound would have interruptions too (especially if I switched tabs or windows and went to do something else). The CPU became much busier. This would happen on both Windows and Linux. With Flash, videos play just fine, and the CPU definitely doesn't get as busy. The version of Chrome is the same on all four OS installs.

Conclusion: while I like HTML5 video much more than Flash video (if not for anything else, because I don't need plugins, even if they are bundled with the browser), it still has a long way to go, as currently it uses much more resources than Flash to achieve the same goal. I believe this is the main reason why YouTube still makes Flash the default: if they made HTML5 video the default, it would play poorly for a lot of people, and make their computers super slow.
Street view uses WebGL in the current Google Maps. I don’t have Flash installed in my office Firefox and it works fine.
A small piece of anecdata that feels relevant : I took my three year old daughter to her friends birthday party yesterday - and there met amoungst others a chemical scientist with two PhDs, two City lawyers and an ex-fortune 50 development lead. All female, all skilled and all normally happy. And one who was extra happy because a local business was hiring her to do her old job, two half days a week and at a fraction of her rates.

Any one of whom happily outshone me in risk taking, capability and skill sets, but I was the self employed one.

I don't think that a high growth shoot for the moon startup can be run whilst doing anything else like raising kids, but there is a world of alternatives between the next 100m exit and nothing.

Oh and risk assessment - oh yes, given my daughter is currently jumping off the stairs onto a chair, risk assessment is a real boon to colonising that middle ground of entrepreneurialism as well as an equal number of all or nothing founders
Add this data point to Facebook setting up their own dorm/apartment project[1] and their efforts prevent employees from having any free time outside of work[2] so they can undo the last century or so of social progress that gave us stuff like "(classic) feminism" and "unions"[3].

Facebook is trying to set up their own Company Town. Usually, the response to this interpretation is to dismiss the possibility, with the company town being one of those "problems from last century we don't see anymore", and dismissing the problem like that is dangerous.

The coal companies (and similar) never really lost their towns, regardless of specifics of who's name is on the land deeds. It works out the same when there's only the one employer in the area. Facebook is not alone as a newcomer, either; Google has had some questionable press recently with their buses that seen to go wherever they want like they own the place, and they've been playing land games as well. There was even a story here recently about their price-fixing scam to slow wage growth and prevent competition ("bidding wars").

While current issues like the NSA has us distracted at the moment, I strongly believe this problem - where we forget about the labor issues of the past and allow the industrial-revolution-era problems and abuses slowly creep back in - is the longer-term fight, with stuff like the NSA's spying being more of a symptom of the problem.

Many people have observed that some of the NSA's statements and "interpretations" no longer seem to be tethered to any rational "legal basis" or "social contract", as they spin yet another justification for their behavior. Similarly, if Facebook and Google, etc, are allowed to continue buying up bits and pieces of our country, I hope you like that kind of "making up the law as we go" way of doing things. Once they gain that kind of de facto control over a piece of the country, they become effectively sovereign. Any power that might stop them is too far away and dealing with their own mess.

What do you call a form of government with a weak, basically non-existent amount of central control, thereby letting a handful of very powerful, very rich players to rule over their little corner of the world as they see fit?

You call it Feudalism, of course.

I expected it to be lower but tbh I hadn't really thought about it. Selection is a good point though, it could be a good criteria for a strong co-founder relationship.
You should read up on why colleges ask about extracurriculars and leadership:

Neither strategy worked [to keep the Jews out]. Finally, Lowell—and his counterparts at Yale and Princeton—realized that if a definition of merit based on academic prowess was leading to the wrong kind of student, the solution was to change the definition of merit...

...Lowell told his admissions officers to elicit information about the “character” of candidates...provide a photograph...personal essays, demonstrating their aptitude for leadership, and list their extracurricular activities.

But yes, I'm sure you are right - expecting founders to focus solely on their startup is "calculated to keep women disadvantaged". I'm sure that if a man wanted to, I dunno, do a startup without quitting his day job, investors would be totally fine with that.
so how about a tray icon? AFAIK there is no way to create one using HTML5.
It really won’t. iOS is never going to support Flash, current browsers are making it click-to-play by default, Adobe shows no interest or ability in optimising the mobile plugin any further and every day advances canvas/WebGL tooling. The best Flash can hope for is maintaining its niche in non-Web interface (e.g. Scaleform UI in games).
It was a huge step up over the genuinely awful RealMedia. For a while, that was the de facto standard for audio and video on the web.
> My guess is that they hate women for the very reason you would expect a "geek/nerd" to hate women; because girls ignored them, and were probably mean to them.

This reminds me of google hangout featureset. Better UI on top of it, though. Nice work, Hum!

IMO, the fundamental challenge of feature-based "utility" apps like this is that big players will eventually implement the most useful pieces of it, and slowly erode your market share until you are worthless to the average consumer. The best play for these guys long term is to get acquired before the OS people take their features.

I also hate flash, but my view is that in combination with IE, it kept the web back 10 years.

When I first started out as a dev, barely anyone knew HTML or CSS, because flash was all you needed. It's seems bizarre now but I took a lot of ridicule from people when I tried to insist on building things the standard compliant way back in 2004. I remember being told that things I had personally designed specifically to be built in HTML couldn't be done. The situation was bananas, flash had turned everyone into zombies. And while you wouldn't be fired for mentioning JavaScript, you would jump to the top of the naughty list. Advocating JavaScript back then was like advocating kiddie fiddling.

And so web standards were kept back. So browsers were held back. (Why should Microsoft make a better browser? Nobody uses HTML or CSS anyway?) and so the whole web was held back. I look at a lot of the stuff we do today, and I see no reason we couldn't have been doing it back in 2004 other than the fact that flash was easy. It's was the crack that turned the web into a digital ghetto with developers high on their own success, site owners tripping off the rich, colourful and "fully immersive experiences" (there's a phrase you don't hear anymore) of their own all singing, all dancing and utterly unusable websites. Meanwhile, users were left to scrounge around in all that dirt looking for scraps of anything barely edible.

If IE was Hitler, Flash would be Stalin. Sure Hitler was a bad guy and he shoulders all the blame, but he was rank a rank amateur compared to our friend and ally Joseph "evil personified" Stalin.

On top of all that, the flash player is a piece of junk. Always has been, always will be and I make no apologies for feeling smug when they started scrambling to get it working on mobile. "Oh no!" I would say, "have all those years of showing nothing but contempt for the people who have to run you're buggy, resource hungry piece of shit plugin left you up shit creek without a paddle?" Good riddance I say.
What the hell makes you think your dislike of the Visual Studio syntax highlighting system makes it okay to be so bloody rude? Would you be happy if everybody who disliked your work said "fuck you, ulam2"?

I'm not saying that sort of language is never appropriate - it's a fair response to patent lawsuits, for example. But let's keep feedback on user interface issues a bit more civilized.
It's some kind of synergistic relationship. I don't think Flash dev planned to use it as a standalone video interface. I believe video was added first as prerendered animation embedded in flash applications. Whoever decided it would be good to use it as a video player made flash ubiquitous.

Funny I forgot about html5. I tried some nojs + proxy plugin that would replace flash with it, the benefits were two folds :

- lower cpu usage

- better network buffering; their latest flash player heuristics don't go along with my ISP bandwidth ~limitations.

ps: I can also try to forward the stream to vlc or mplayer/mpv in the hope it would use even less cpu.
I have a few questions!

What does Hum offer that Google Hangouts doesn't? That just about every other alternative chat offering doesn't? (Keeping in mind that all sorts of people are already segregated by many of these services, including Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger which currently doesn't support any kind of annexing.)

Also where do you place 'security' in your list of priorities in regards to Hum. ('Secure, security, encryption, encrypted' are words that do not appear on your launch page.)
> So, can we dispel the myth that "teens don't have email" please?

Well, of course teens have email, it's just not a primary method of communication for them (as you admit). To them, email is just how they sign up for 'real' (to them, at least) methods of communication.

This may as well be the same as 'teens don't have email'

Post is from 2012, but still it is weird to be so inflammatory about the inabilities of customizing a specific part of syntax highlighting.

Unless you have actually written syntax highlighting code parsers yourself better as what is in Visual Studio I am of the opinion you do not have any rights to be that rude.
Oh, and and I don't agree that flash is better for video. I would argue that the current state of affairs, while tricker for a dev is much better for the end user. I'd also argue that back in the dark days, there was QuickTime, which was measurably and undisputedly better than flash both for developers and for end users.
I dont hate Flash. On the scale of hate Flash doesn't even come close to Internet Explorer. I just wish it was a lot better. I also wish it was open standard. It has its chance with Apple if it wasn't eating battery like X.

It also allows games that were previously no available on the web. Its creation tools are top class compared to even today's Web Technology standard.

> "If you educated a girl in the developing world, you educate 5 people, because if you educate one girl, on average, she'll educate at least 4 other people through the course of her life."

I believe the [citation needed] is meant to ask for the source of this fact, i.e. whoever investigated this phenomenon and measured it.

To me, the statement is rather dubious because even the thesis is (in general use of the word educate) loosely defined -- Does a mother educate the children, is it the teacher who educates them, or do we count both? How often do we count the father as well? What about when a foreman teaches a fresh employee, is that education also?

Unless we exactly specify what is meant by education, this statement seems "purely inspirational" to me, i.e. rather meaningless.
I honestly can't understand what this app is trying to do. Is it an email client that uses @mentions to involve other people in the conversation? Is the "chat" part of the app here just a UI feature? Or maybe other protocols are supported as well?
>For the time being, it's Russia which isn't respecting previous agreements, ie, not to try to take apart Ukraine.

Nuland's call clearly shows that the US administration has actively supported the overthrowing of an elected government. This comes after $5bn of investments to "democratise" (i.e. de-russify) Ukraine in the last 10 years. Is that "respecting previous agreements"?

>And the fact that Russian interests are clearly threatened is NOT a moral justification for invading a foreign nation.

I admire your "black & white" thinking, but history is not that clear cut. Was Reagan justified in invading Grenada? Was Bush I justified in invading Panama? Big countries must look after their interests, or they wouldn't be big countries.

Crimea is a majority-russian enclave, on which Russia maintains historical dibs, and which is irreplaceable from a strategic point of view. Ukraine as a whole is almost not a "foreign nation" in many ways (it has holy cities for the Russian Orthodox and a long history shared with Russia that only sort-of ended 20 years ago). There is no way a Russian government will ever leave Crimea to NATO or the EU, end of; as I said elsewhere, it would be like Panama being left to the Chinese or the Russians.

A sane US/EU strategy would have worked to peacefully de-federate Crimea from West Ukraine first, before bidding for Kiev. That's the realistic, win-win approach. Trying to get that peninsula out of Russian control is an overreach that Putin will not accept. The '90s are long gone, Putin is not Eltsin, if we want to keep weakening the old bear we have to play smarter than this.

> "Until 2009 the credibility of the Peaceful Rise grant strategy was reaffirmed by actual Chinese conduct ... actual Chinese conduct kept faith with these promises in the years 2005-2008 ... But that is no longer true of course."

> Future Historians will certainly try and look back and discover the sequence of events and decisions that led to China’s shift in behavior. Perhaps it was the financial crisis and the feeling that the moment of leapfrogging over a peaked and declining West was finally on the horizon. Perhaps it was an internal squabble amongst political elites or wealthy families. Perhaps leftist-nationalist popular fervor took over and the temptation towards aggressiveness could not be resisted, or that having been compelled by circumstance to issue guarantees now seemed more ‘humiliating’ than crafty. It will be interesting to read what those Historians uncover.

The Chinese were very concerned until 2008 that no-one boycotted the Beijing Olympics, which was a very symbolic event for its population regarding China's status in the world. Heck, they even practically dismantled the Great Firewall for a year to make sure there were no excuses for a boycott.

This is a company that doesn't want my business. If I have to pick up a phone, you've already lost.

Email provides quick but asynchronous communication. Each side can take a few minutes to do research or investigation, find someone with more information, and try possible solutions, without heavy distraction.

Discarding this communications channel and demanding my attention be monopolized by a voice following a script is somewhere between disrespectful and outright inhumane.
