    I can feel the pain here but in my own way. As a hiring manager it must be so frustrating to be assaulted with massive idiocy when you are looking for a candidate. Think about it: …

    Question, what is the job market like for someone who is good with graphics programming? I'm not the best at math but I have struggled my way through linear algebra enough that wit…

    At some point you might be able to just hold your hand in front of the phone and have it recognize your gestures.

    Derrick, let me share my rather cynical opinion about all of this and hopefully it will make you feel better. The part where you say people were waiting for it to be "more polished…

    Ask HN: Is anyone else tired of programming?

    Sorry if this is just complaining to you. I've been thinking this way a lot lately. I've been programming professionally for eight years. I just have so little interest in doing an…

    I thought the whole presentation was pretty cool. Those colonies are just visions of what might be built by future generations. He has new ideas about the future of industry and th…

    I've done this and usually get like 5 upvotes and 1 half ass comment telling me to change something. Then if you post again you get even less attention. That's why I don't think po…

    Thank God I'm not the only one who can't drum up support on reddit. One thing that has worked for me in the past, though, is buying upvotes. Sometimes that works and sometimes it d…

    Ask HN: Got fired. Not sure if I want to program anymore

    I've been a developer for eight years. I don't really enjoy it anymore. Yesterday I got fired for what I think is a pretty dumb reason. I'm just kind of done with the whole program…

    Because people are more comfortable dealing with image files than .enc files or whatever extension one might use. Plus you dont just have to encode text. You can encode any file ty…

    > No. Yes. Any algorithm designed to be resilient to common processing steps will pass this test with flying colors. Also, EXIF data is not used in steganography, by definition.

    Speaking of layers that's how I want to answer the first part. Encryption makes it secure but steganography makes it portable. Steganography is the sugar that makes the medicine go…

    Steganography+encryption has a number of use cases. The one I think is most interesting is being able to store encrypted data locally with ease. Right now if I want to encrypt some…

    I meant messaging in a more general context. It does not remove that feature at all. Why do you think that two people using the same app or algorithm automatically reveals the pres…

    Sure, for a chat conversation you would want something faster than steganography. But if you will notice I did not propose a solution for encrypted chat. I proposed a solution for …

    I suppose you could and I am certainly no expert so it might even be better that way. A couple cons to that are that it looks cryptic so it's a little easier to detect, that you ha…

    Facebook encrypted messaging! What's next, military intelligence? How about a vegan big-mac? Maybe a quality automobile by GM? I think steganography is an excellent way to deliver …
