Hey, can you post some quotes from those at Craigslist who were against you using their data for various graphs?

Show HN: Density – Anonymous People Counter and API 11 years ago

If a camera films you while you are on someone else's property, then I'd argue it isn't an invasion of privacy since there was no expectation of privacy to begin with.

Also, it would be nice if you would identify yourself as an employee of Density when you post comments.

No, the mantra is actually "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

And yes, one usually installs easy_install to install pip, but I don't see how that can create a "very long dependency chain". Even when both tools are installed, you can use either to install packages.
