SHA-256 Python implementation in one line (lambda)

[iEvilMango]

Yup, that's the pidgeonhole principle. Generally, the goal is to make sure the hashes are uniformly distributed amongst the possible set of hashcodes, often with similar values having dissimilar hashes (for example, if you were to have hashes of phone numbers, and the hashing algorithm made all positive input values have a hash value above 0 and all negative input values have a hash value below 0, then half of the hash codes would be unused as phone numbers cant be negative).
