Offered for free? Really? Should the insurance company be sharing some of the increased safety savings with their customers?

Binary python packages are useless IMHO. If I want binary packages, I make a binary package for my package management system. Running pip/easy_install on a production system is an anti-pattern.

Can this system be gamed for profit? 1. Setup a short track on one of the linked providers. 2. Setup a bot to play the track over and over. Do they pay out equally for tracks from paid vs. unpaid spotify accounts? If so, you could setup a b

I don't know why it is required that it is used in legitimate purchases. No one questions the value of gold, yet not many people use it to make purchases. I suspect bitcoins value will follow the same pattern as gold, once it is stable

Better ideas than this: * Offered paid, private registry that doesn't cost an insane amount of money. Somehow host it on the same metal as the public repo. * Decentralize. Make it easier to setup mirrors or proxy/cache layers. If

Instead of tearing down the people who still have decent jobs, why don't you focus your energy on trying to improve things for the people who don't? There was a time when a factory job that anyone could get was at least as good as

My biggest pet peeve with HN 2013 vs. HN <2012 is the article titles. There used to be a strong culture of never editorializing and always letting people know what they are clicking. Lately I have no idea what the article is about by it&
