Another solution: assuming as the article claims that GHash grew to it's current size because it had 0% fees. Other pools can respond by lowering their fees or introduce negative ones. I.e. they pay miners to join the pool. Or have fees but introduce a lottery system that randomly overpays members.

Unless all the automation is owned by a monopoly.

Setting an end of life for Python 2 would be the forcing function needed to ensure Python 3 is reliable and the migration path is clear. Knowing the end is coming would drive us (the community) together to discuss and resolve these issues.

I for one never even considered that C extensions would be a serious road block. Which is obvious now that you mention it. And my main point, I've never bothered to research moving to Python 3 because there's no sense of urgency.

If Guido set a date, say Jan 1st 2015, it would remove allot of the apathy we're currently seeing.

I have problems with the way this is worded as well. I don't think Python 3.x was a mistake. I think the mistake is continuing to develop it in parallel with 2.x with no definitive end of life for 2.x is the mistake.

very cool, probably need a few 100 more lines of code to stop XSS but awesome none the less.

No, nor do they take equity.. They do provide a ton of "goodies". Credits to hosting providers, lawyers etc... And the mentoring is priceless.

Well, sure like Google 2005 they don't have to make sure every idea is a multi-billion dollar enterprise.

The main intent of the search is to retrieve a list of urls that the site crawled for a given subdomain, domain or tld. So for now you can do that using reversed url notation. Which I admit is not very intuitive.

We're toying with the idea of implementing some sort of wild card that way we can present the urls in natural order. Something like *.google.com to retrieve all urls under google. But we wanted to judge the level of interest first. After all "done" is better than "perfect".

good suggestion

That would be great. Out of curiosity, mind describing what you'd use such a list for?
