It would be better for everybody if we'd treat Python 2 and Python 3 like separate languages. Then we can reason about the sanity of spending development time to port existing and working code from one language to another.

The formula simply interprets the big magic number as "pixels". Then you just pick your magic number to encode an image that looks like your formula.
Well, first it depends on the valuation, but that goes for any equity financing round. But also, it depends on the type of investor you are taking on, and their expectations for returns to fit in their profile.

Private investors tend to invest in higher risk/reward equities, meaning you need to achieve higher growth rates to satisfy them. I am guessing many of the companies raising massive private rounds now need to still grow significantly before a liquidity event could justify the investor's investment (once you go public, the pressure isn't as high to achieve 2-3x growth year over year). Publicly traded technology stocks are expected to grow at most 20-30%/year, without further diluting the equity pool. Every new private financing round makes the pool a little smaller, meaning you still need to grow even faster to achieve the returns required by your investors.

In addition, once you IPO, you have access to many other forms of financing that are significantly cheaper than selling equity.

So then why can't the same be done for someone under the effects of a drug prescribed by a doctor?

If you can fire someone for taking a drug to fix some ailment that they never choose to have due to the impact on their performance, then it would make sense that one could fire someone for choosing to become pregnant once it impacts their performance. Both or neither.
None of those have a WYSIWYG editor for markdown, and no markdown renderer. So I'd call those the USP rather than the encryption in and of itself.
1. In the last year, numerous security holes have been found in the JavaScript implementations of every major browser.

2. Even if you assume JavaScript sandboxes are secure, the actual expected behavior of the language is that all code runs in a big global scope. A perfect sandbox would prevent sites from running arbitrary code on your machine, but any JavaScript running on a page effectively has access to all the data on the page. That means every ad, tracker, etc. on the page has access to all the data on the page, including passwords on forms, etc.

Given that Github is now big enough that Google is hosting their code there, I think that view needs to be a bit more nuanced. Yours is a very slick reply that could easily be a boilerplate one for, say, privacy concerns with Google -- "Hey, it's their service, they can do whatever they want".

That's fine, but if they subsequently publish a Transparency Report that isn't very transparent about some things, it's probably a good thing to call them out on it. Would you agree?

Things That Should Not Go on Your IT Resume
Earlier in the thread you said that if Google paid out more money in employee compensation, it'd have less money to invest in the business. But then you tried to categorize executive compensation as investing in the business. My point is that both should be in the same bucket,[1] instead of thinking of employee compensation as an expense while executive compensation is an investment.

[1] Though IMHO both belong in the "expenses" bucket, not the "investment" bucket.

+1 for this fine explanation. However I'm well aware of how this works and my actual question was really what part of the problem in achieving this ideal scheme Superpowered is solving. Or are they just targetting <10mSec latency? Are they getting rid of intermediate layers? Or are they just lowering buffersize? Or both?

>Besides, the article is referring to discrepancies between multiple audio tracks, which don't depend on vision at all.

They do depend upon vision or touch if it is an interactive app.

>For a real-world example, listen to 2 TVs several meters apart and tuned to the same channel. At least with OTA or cable you can expect them to be playing ~simultaneously but the skew between the received signals is easily perceptible.

I believe what you're experiencing is the difference in decoding latency between different models of TV set. Several meters (3m) represents only about ~9ns (practically, low tens of ns if the cables are longer than necessary) maximum delay. It would not be directly perceptible by a person. Signal delay in a cable is ~1ns/ft.

Ask HN: Suggestions on a New Hacker News App for Android?
There are dozens of apps for Hacker News available in Play Store already. Being a newbie to Android app development, I thought it would be better to develop a minimalistic app for Hacker News using their API on Firebase.

I had already completed the basic pages and looking forward to release the app in Play Store in a week. I thought it would be better to get some suggestions on the design from the HN Community before releasing the app.

The design can be found at http://i.imgur.com/UVfxEEs.jpg
The audio thing is the number one reason I will never use the Android platform.

At this point, iOS devs have so many numbers of years ahead of Android devs in the music department, and the simplicity of porting existing Mac OS compatible audio stuff makes it incomparable.

Metaphor:

Two people are going for a race, over the same distance. One starts 5 years ahead of the other.

At that point, is anyone even watching the race anymore?

Sorry, despite it's absolutely God-awful flaws such as no user-accessible filesystem, no ability to do a basic task such as download an MP3, without GarageBand (and it's awesome ability to open files I sketch out on the go right in Logic on my Mac...), without iElectribe, and the list goes on, I absolutely just can't even use the platform, and I have no reason to go back 5 years technologically.

Sorry, Android, you already lost, here is a user you can never have.
The adapters don't need to be that chunky. The best ones use a design where it plugs into the Lightning / Micro USB port, and then the pad tucks behind the phone and is hidden by your existing case.

I just don't think suction cuffs are the best idea for this application in general. Phones are relatively heavy, cars shake from side to side, and temperature weakens the suction.

For a $1 screw thread in a hole which the manufacturer of cars could add trivially in seconds, it just seems like this should be a solved problem by now.
And now you know why Google never tested against pipelining... if they had they'd have to sell it as marginally faster and more sensible, rather than saying it is up to 10x faster.

Since you are on satellite I suggest trying Firefox and turning on aggressive pipelining in about:config. As far as I know I've never had a problem with it in years, and as you can see it brings HTTP/2 speeds to non-SSL and older sites.

Those movies in particular are notorious for being a mess in that regard. It's not just you.

Look for action movies where the actors are able to do their own stunts, particularly when they are famed for it or are even athletes. Those movies tend to cut less, unless the director decides to introduce lots of cuts for stylistic reasons.

So much anger, in such a personal form. Why the chip on your shoulder?

This thread, while straying from the content of the submitted post, has come to be about your implication regarding CIA and mind control. I have admitted that the CIA directly participating in mind control efforts via water supply poisoning seems outlandish, while pointing out that you are overlooking some crucial tidbits in the above link. The CIA has participated in some unsavory experiments on unknowing citizens in the past. While NSLs and the CIA have a tenuous connection at best, you did indeed bring the CIA into the conversation in the first place. I'd say that pointing out past government indiscretion (MKULTRA) is fair game, when we are considering the merits of another (NSLs).
I think there is something to be said about letting a person have their childhood. It is far too easy to burn someone out by a raft of accomplishments when they are very young.

My belief is that the spammers believe that putting gibberish in emails can get those emails past a larger fraction of spam filters. I expect that does happen, although I don't use a spam filter on my personal email. I can imagine a spam filter marking something as spam for short length, presence of certain keywords, or presence of a number of words together. Adding gibberish would increase the length and dilute the keyword's percentage of the total text.

Possibly the appearance of gibberish is to filter out even slightly sophisticated potential victims. In http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/167719/WhyFromNigeria.pdf Cormac Herley of Microsoft Research shows that spammers want stupid, stupid people as victims and might deliberately include misspellings, gibberish and outlandish claims to let smart potential victims filter themselves out.

I doubt you can discount any possibility, up to and including things like "spammers are so stupid they don't notice the gibberish", or "spammers buy really stupid spamming setups that put gibberish into the emails". Given the prevalence of backdoors in underground products, it's hard to put anything past spammers and those meta-parasites that prey on spammers.
I hate more recent action movies (e.g. Bond movies) for that reason. I can't figure out what's going on. I miss the more sedate pace of 1980's and 1990's action movies. Go back and watch Die Hard or the Fugitive sometime.
I could be bothered, but I was talking about a human made, good and clear translation. Had it happened in my country first thing I would have done is translate it to English and probably involve someone else to do that for other languages too, so to spread the news as much as possible.

Moreover, that would also have a strong symbolical value.
I find it a bit weird you're being more like "don't be lazy, couldn't you find a bad level translation yourself and be happy with it?". No. I'm not happy because you're not giving it the appropriate coverage this way. But oh well.
The only reference I can find from them "impersonating" a feminist is this https://github.com/search?q=FeministSoftwareFoundation&ref=s..., which references the user https://github.com/AndreaDworkin

Since Andrea Dworkin died in 2005, I'm not sure how she could have a github account today, so the "impersonation" claim might be a little thin. I think it would be akin to creating a github user called "ErwinRommel" or something -- referencing a well known person who isn't around any more.
That particular metric means nothing. People like me saying there's a bubble means basically nothing, because no VC is actually listening to my opinion. Just like most commenters on here saying there isn't also means nothing.

But, there may (or may not) be a bubble going on despite this.

Ultimately whether it is viewed as a bubble in 10 or 20 years depends entirely on whether enough investors get burned and burned big enough that they stop investing, just like what happened in the early 00's.

How was this censored if its still on github ?

Update:
I see now, the original and its forks were censored.
I disagree strongly. The major issue with FPGAs today is that they cost money (because they are chips). They cost even more than your CPU. So you can't treat them life software. To put it in simpler words: everyone has access to a CPU, less than 1% have access to an FPGA. Fix that* and the tooling will follow.

* one way to make FPGAs "free" is to incorporate some FPGA blocks in an Intel CPU. Then it will feel free.
Hi,
Sorry - I missed this reply. Still getting this issue on Safari Version 8.0.4 (10600.4.10.7), OS X version 10.10.2 (14C2513)

To give a little more info, when I visit the site in this browser clicking sign in brings up a dialog with the gmail email I was using - but it asks for a password. I never got to a point where I was asked for a password after the attempted login, but your system seems to have my email and some password. I'm resetting that password since I have no idea what it is or how secure it is.

On a private Safari window though, I get the same issue as before trying to log in.

(FYI I've also emailed you, probably better to discuss there instead of in this old thread)

EDIT: Probably mistaken about the password, sorry for the confusion - I think I did sign up with a different browser.

What I'm having trouble understanding (as just a regular, not-hardcore programmer) is this: What end-user advantage will cause people to buy devices that include FPGAs? What use are they to a consumer? What interesting programs or devices can be created with an FPGA that can't be done otherwise?

Basically, if "everyone can easily create whatever custom objects they need!" is the utopian vision for 3D printers, and "everyone can self-host their services and protect their privacy and freedom!" is the utopian vision for a home server[0], what is the utopian vision here?
