I think the "cost to society" would be more directly attributed to the increased time of travel for people and goods traveling on roadways. The only increase in GDP that can be attributed to roadway accidents is due to the spending of medic

Guns are also a social issue, where in the United States it is our right to own guns and nothing can take that away, except using them as a tool in illegal acts. Queue the downward spiral where non-felon criminals already use guns excessive

Whats to stop you from patching and compiling programs yourself to get rid of the python dependancies of your package manager? If the Linux distro you choose doesn't meet your needs, why would you continue to use it? If your Fedora install

It is interesting that this email came up today on HN, along side the article from Zed Shaw on how he is dropping the Python requirement from Mongrel2 and the debate it has sparked. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1712035

Not to nitpick here, but I want to clarify something you said. > Per above, Python is used by your OS. It's installed by default, and not uninstallable, because the OS needs it. The OS doesn't need python. It is some package you have in

Ruby and Python guys can be C guys. Even Matz and Guido are C guys before they are Ruby and Python guys, respectively. There is no one language, toolkit or framework.

The apartment analogy is a very poor one for this argument, especially when one would theoretically continue living in an apartment while they stopped paying for it. This author, Fred Stutzman, clearly stated he quit using the service somet

I think Ryan is trying to say "people should just avoid doing anything that could possibly offend extremists, if they don't want to have death threats put upon their life" Which is pretty common sense... If you don't want to be hated, then

For many businesses, betting that people will spend a percentage above their discount is a reasonably safe bet. For a coffee shop though, I can't remember the last time I spent more than 20 dollars for a couple cups of coffee and a sandwic

Dollar bills have serial numbers, so it is already possible to track incoming and outgoing transactions to an extent. The problem would come in assigning a static serial number to a pool of bits. If I spent an electronic dollar, did that do

No, it doesn't. If you're asking about the bandwidth incurred by burnbit.com, no. They're just acting as a public bittorrent tracker, which does nothing other than tell its clients to connect to other people. Bandwidth consumption is trivia

The only "crime" that is broken is split between ethical and social. Socially, if there is a line to get into a place or to receive something and you skip ahead of a hundred other people, then you're a jerk. Another point I can see is if by
