Well done /g/!

Not worth my time

mtct··on Choosing an OSS license
creative common zero
mtct··on Ask HN: Intermediate Python learning resources?
core python programming and core python application programming are two good (not free and a bit old) intermediate python books.

Think complexity is a free python book on algorithms and science.

Python 3 Object Oriented Programming is a very good book (not free) on OOP.

not only in USA
mtct··on Free Speech Zone
Wow, I didn't know these free speech prisons.

Cynically amusing I've to say.

Fortunately Python is becoming the new programming language for science and engineering, replacing FORTRAN and Matlab. Unfortunately I do not see many opportunities for growth in other sectors

mtct··on My Privacy Plan

mtct··on My Privacy Plan
This is a good start, but in the end the NSA can bypass any of these measure if needed (even the cryptography). The only think that really can change this situation is a protest versus your political representatives.
mtct··on Privacy and security
Appeal to Authority, you're implying that NSA are more trustworthy than us, only because they say so.
mtct··on Foxconn Joins the Firefox OS Eco-System
Yes, and Mozilla choose to fight for the freedom of the web not for human rights. Amnesty international for people rigths and not for dophin right. Greenpeace for the environment and not for the freedom of the software.

Nobody fight for everything, choose a niche and fight for that.

mtct··on Foxconn Joins the Firefox OS Eco-System
Why not? A doctor should refuse a patient because is a terrorist, a racist or a killer?
mtct··on Foxconn Joins the Firefox OS Eco-System
You can, no, you should; but is not a "you must".
mtct··on Foxconn Joins the Firefox OS Eco-System
I can't see how this partnership is not acceptable. Firefox is an NGO for the open web not one for human rights.
mtct··on After your job is gone
Yes, but the status quo has to be maintained. Robots don't buy goods, so why make something if you can't sell it?
mtct··on Why 3 MIT Grads Want to Send You an Empty Box
>As someone who hardly ever sells anything online in part because I never have the right box, I am clearly the target market for Sold.

Yeah, if something so trivial like find the right box stop you from make money, Bryan, selling is really not something for you.

Komodo Edit, and it's never listed.
mtct··on The GNOME developers removed it.
This has become a joke, luckily we have xfce.
mtct··on Poll: Do you use your real identity on HN?
Yes, HN is one of the sites where i use my real name. In some other place on the other hand I like to be more "crude" and so, there, I use a fake identity.
mtct··on PyPy 2.0 Released
The Python Foundation should really give some money/developers to these guys
mtct··on How to eat healthily on £1 a day
Obviously is not a simple life. Dangers are everywhere from drug dealers to policeman. But to keep this short the fact is the same: For a mentally sane man (or woman) in USA is very difficult die of starvation.
mtct··on How to eat healthily on £1 a day
So, why you don't move to another (better) area? It's not like you have an house or anything else that bind you there.

To be clear, I'm not saying that is an easy life, I'm only saying that is difficult die of starving in a modern first world nation

mtct··on How to eat healthily on £1 a day
I'm talking about a mentally sane person. You can find 2$ (actually a LOT more) simply opening the trash bin near you.
