Not to mention that the PyPy name was established long before the initial release too. It was in development at least since 2003, under that name.

IIRC there was a PyPy talk at EuroPython 2003.

The first commit to the current repo is dated Feb 24, 2003, and the commit message is:

    Move the pypy trunk into its own top level directory so the path names
    stay constant.

In the next episode of Complaining About Names; Why did those silly South Americans give their forest the same name as Bezos' company? :-)

There's also the following copy on the same page:

"Repeated, crippling DDoS attacks from the following countries has caused me to block their access. Apologies to the innocent.

Brazil, Singapore, Angola, Seychelles, UAE."

My guess is that the geolocation Gods placed GP in Singapore.

This is certainly something many people I know have cared a lot about - and again, I'm not a football enthusiast myself, but still the vast majority of the people I know are, because, not being one really is an outlier.

> There are plenty of stoppages in game already which take as much time.

Well. Not really. And those "stoppages" are part of the game. Actually watching the players quarrel with the referee and whatnot is something football fans want to do. It's not comparable.

I'd say this is very, very common knowledge in huge parts of the world. It's not something only enthusiasts and purists know.

> Who is this good for? Is it good for you?

Well, as a global population reduction is sorely needed, this is good for pretty much everybody. There's absolutely no way we can keep extracting resources and polluting at the rate demanded by our current enormous population (which has more than doubled in my life time).

Unfortunately, your theory isn't working, as the population still grows.

Why was it tax-exempt? Why should it be?

What sets it apart from any other service where you pay someone to do something for you - such as cook you a meal, transport you somewhere or build you a house?

But of course, it's only "propaganda" when you don't like it.

So the options are:

1) Use Polish, with the risk of being rude if you happen to speak to the Spanish priest

2) Use Latin and ask "do you speak Polish?", and both the Polish and the Spanish priest will understand.

You could of course argue that it's not so very rude to accidentally try to strike up a conversation with someone in a language they don't know, but apparently Tade0's father thinks it is.

How does that matter? The point isn't that the reader should know that "oh, this is a reserved address". The point is that there should be no room for the address that's actually being used by someone to end up being used incorrectly just because it showed up in some random documentation.

Much like how you probably wouldn't be thrilled if your phone number was used as an example in some random documentation somewhere.

Not sure how long you're a startup...

Of course, if your problem is "/usr won't mount", then it's likely that the ftp server isn't running either, so the advice still makes sense.

But giving birthdate (available to anyone via a single query in a public database) and (sometimes?! - what?!) PIN over the phone wouldn't really be considered good enough here. Birthdate is, as I said, public knowledge. And a phone is too insecure a medium for transmitting a password.

I'm not super interested in an long argument about whether it's reasonable that this isn't considered secure or not. I'm just letting you know what reality looks like. And the reality is that "just call them" is not a solution, because such information will simply not be handed out over the phone.

Are you comfortable with anybody being able to ring up the hospital and say "yo, it's majorchord, how are my gonnorhea results?"
