One of the long withstanding issues with Python 3 has been that some of the major libraries have yet to support it. I think this is great news for the Python community. Hopefully more will follow suit soon.

This is true, but their ratios are remaining relatively the same.

"Soylent 1.5 has a 94 percent increase in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, ALA), a 92 percent increase in the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, and a 17 percent reduction in the already low saturated fat levels."

"A lower ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids is more desirable in reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies, as well as in the developing countries, that are being exported to the rest of the world."

Neat. This is very helpful. Hopefully it actually fixes the WiFi performance issues. I created an Alfred workflow for myself based on the terminal commands listed in the article to quickly enable/disable WiFried on Yosemite. It basically runs the terminal command after authenticating upon entering a keyword to trigger. Quick and easy, just like the iOS tweak.

Edit: Here's a link to the Alfred workflows to disable/enable AirDrop if you're interested. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/534072/WiFried.zip

If you have an Automatic and want to use both, this will be a no go since each will need to use the OBD II port in your car.

It's definitely snappier and now looks responsive too! Thanks for the hard work kogir et al!

Besides offering lossless quality images, JPEGmini allows a much larger file size. Compressor.io only appears to allow 10MB files, which if you're trying to use it for photography, it won't be very useful because the jpeg's produced by a Canon 5D Mark III are about 20MB-30MB in size. It is also only web based, whereas JPEGmini has a native client. Compressor.io looks promising though.

I'd go out on a limb and say that anyone who's been President of the United States is smarter than you (or almost everyone). It takes a lot of intellect and masterful knowledge of the political and social systems to become President. However, is George W. Bush smarter than the 42 other Presidents before him?

I'm glad that the author of this article didn't try to justify that claim. He definitely had more resources and technology available to him than the previous 42, so one could argue that a bit, but as far as raw intellect, I wouldn't say so. That's a hard argument to win.

Nice. I'd love to see templates so you can easily customize depending on what kind of environment you want so you can start from zero. E.g. 1. Development 2. Design 3. Engineering 4. Management 5. General use

It's probably just me, but it seems like all of these require too much investment time before you have something usable for future use (replicating your current environment).

Which brings me to this, how about a script that analyzes what you already have installed and creates this set up for you which you can customize to easily add/remove packages/apps/installers using Boxen and similar? Anyone know of such tools? My MBP is full of crud after using SuperDuper!/Time Machine for several years to start new macbook setups and installing new versions of OS X on top of the old OS.

This is neat. I think it'd be pretty awesome if it were possible to download all the dmg's/installers/apps in a folder/drive without installing them so at a later date you could a) install everything without having to wait hours to download or require an internet connection and b) keep your packages up to date (almost as a backup) running the script every once in a while to make sure you have the most up to date packages/installers.

I think this is the first time in recent history that a company actually took care of its users after acquisition. Most of the time after the deadline to export your content, it's a big "fuck you" to the customer. At least Loom is making it easy to transfer content to Dropbox and is providing users with the same space on Dropbox as well free for a year. I can respect that.

This almost seems too good to be true. Can you stream .MKV files too? Looks like there's no iOS or native apps yet. I guess we just use our browser and stream directly?

IMO, Crashplan's service is terrible. On a university network I was never able to max out my upload. With BackBlaze I was able to max it out. Crashplan's built on Java, which is the reason for the RAM usage, while BackBlaze is native to OS X and Windows.

I believe the free plan allows you to export up to 5 times.

Rejection is inevitable. If you're not rejected now, somewhere down the road you will be. If you haven't been rejected, get practice in getting rejected. If you have been rejected, feel the frustration and use it as motivation to prove whoever rejected you wrong.

The best analogy I can find for this is that applying to YC is like trying to pick up a girl or asking her out on a date. (I know many of us have yet to try, too). Get over the fear of rejection, and put yourself out there. Will your way to success. YC is like the smartest, most beautiful woman with the amazing personality everyone falls in love with (well, there's always the haters). Don't give up. Exercise, eat right, sleep, and strive to be better. You never know, one day that beautiful woman might actually say yes.

(To all the women on HN, replace girl/woman with guy/man and beautiful with handsome.)

Well done. Everything is accurately explained using simple terminology. I'd love to see this expand beyond just layouts. CSS is overwhelming to beginners, but this is dead simple while still delving into deeper, more complex topics.

Bike messenger services are commonplace in the NYC area. Uber is using their logistics prowess to make it more efficient and probably cheaper.

The website is so nice, and I thought all the material would be from the Superhero.js team too. Upon further review, they link to other sites, and some of them are not as user friendly and nice looking. The change of UI between each lesson/source is kind of an eye sore and sometimes annoying.

Nonetheless, thanks for putting this together!

Firstly, I enjoyed his talk. It was pretty insightful into the ways so many businesses and corporations today think, and how we've lost track of building the future. However, there's one thing that really bugged me about his talk. It basically boils down to the fact that you have to take into consideration Moore's Law and have to pay a hefty sum to make any useful invention by paying for the technologies that are 10-15 years ahead of its time to do anything useful for the next 30 years. How does one "invent" in his terms today without the equity that he refers to which you need?

I backed this project as an early-bird. I'm not sure why you need 4 memory buttons for the deluxe frame. All I need is one more button (maybe two)! Just let me set the height I want it to be at when I'm standing and sitting. If I'm standing pick the other one, and vice versa.

I have a feeling it will get really annoying to use the two buttons on the regular frame over and over again if you're changing the height of the desk a lot. The desk will probably never be at the same height twice if you're telling it when to stop instead of it automatically stopping at the desired height.

Edit: The main point I'm making is for the $399 price, it'd make a lot more sense to include at least one or two memory buttons if a single person uses the desk.

Great news on the mobile front.

Thanks for HN, pg!

As mentioned in another comment[1], the reason HN grew and got off the ground was because of who was behind the incubator/site. PG was well known in the scene when it started. I certainly commend them for getting the site off the ground, and if it gains traction, major props to them.

However, reading the team, I haven't really found any names I instantly recognize for doing something big/memorable for the industry. I'm not saying they're not qualified, they certainly are. (I'm in the biotech/biomed scene)

Wow. Office for iPad actually looks pretty great. This is great news for Apple and the Windows users out there who didn't want to use iPad for lack of official MS Office products.

Cool, I was thinking about one for a while, but I see one problem. Harlem Biospace doesn't really scream "Hacker News for Biotech". Not intended to offend the Manhattan based incubator that charges $1k for a desk/month.

I've actually been working on something quite similar and will be launching soon. Good luck to OP.

I was about to watch it all the way to 2048, but then I realized that even at a rate of 1 point per second, I'd be looking at a block jumping up and down for over 34 minutes. So I thought better and went back to work. Haha, almost got me.

Haha, this is surprisingly easier to get to 2048 than the original 2048.

This is great news. Many colleges and universities have been focusing on these types of startups for the past 5-10 years for their own VC type competitions, and now YC is seeing the value in them too. Hopefully many others will follow suit. Rock Health has been doing this for a while and has been pretty successful in the biotech/healthcare scene.

Interesting, I've been happy using Preview.app for signatures by just downloading/saving as pdf and signing it through there. It's not as seamless as doing it online through this, but at least it's secure and easy to do, and Apple's had it available for a couple years now. I guess it's not much of a pain point for me to find another solution. Also, the fact that you have to use your mouse to sign it ensures a pretty crappy signature every time.

I watched this run for about 5 minutes and it failed at 1024 with under 5000 points. It looks pretty cool, although it defies all logic when forming the squares (it put the largest number in the middle several times).

This is awesome! Well defined, and I like the design and intro video. I wish there were something like this for writing journal articles. Right now, it's a total pain.
