    My favourite part: "That could work; it's a bit late to do this in 3.2, though. How about the following transition strategy for the complex output. Python 3.3: Introduce PYTHONIMAGINARYSYMBOL environment variable (and possibly also a rela

    I didn't mean to imply that this is an easy problem to solve. My point is that there are very smart people on HN willing to figure this out for the rest of us.

    It would take maybe 3 days for someone to come up with an algorithm, implement it and send it to pg ready-for-use. All he has to do is ask.

    I am willing to relocate almost anywhere in the EU (elsewhere could also be possible). Right now I'm enjoying a very warm winter in south east Europe. Also willing to travel for face-to-face meetings, I just need to grab my backpack.

    Giving up 30% of your company seems like a lot to me but I'm sure there will be plenty of takers. The maximum funding you can get in return is fairly high (at least compared to YC): 91,000 euros - single founder 141,000 euros - two founders

    Is that why sometimes I open a webpage and it gets stuck loading with the status bar displaying "Looking up example.com..."? If I reload the page it then loads immediately. I've been thinking that it has something to do with the cache, but

    There's a picture on the front page that says "Wait, what does your startup do? So basically it's like a Twitter for Hacker News.".

    I did have an image and only a few words unlikely to set off a filter. It could be a problem on my side, maybe the AJAX request timed out or something similar. I didn't see any errors at the top.
