Ordinary users do not want to disable JavaScript. Hell, they don't even know what it is. Advanced users like you can still use NoScript or about:config.

This marketing site fails to answer the most important question: What's the value proposition? Why should I care writing "Pythonic" code?

What's your point? That it's okay if police in Canada do it, too?

Top of my head: Patrick, Thomas and probably a lot of other HN regulars.

Looking besonders technology: lawyers, marketing and branding consultants, and, last but not least, management consultants.

$2000 is not outrageous.

Let me break this down a bit: USD 500k at USD 2k/man day = 250 man days

A US man year has ~235 man days, so that's just roughly 1 external FTE for a year. Not so much, actually.

Think about it: most Google users did not even use Google Reader. So: no, this does not happen in "real life", just in geek circles.

My life as a consultant confuses the heck out of Google Location History/ Now/ Maps.

Hotels are identified as my home address, client sites as work... come to think of it, maybe Google's right in the end and my perception of having a flat that's my home is off. ;)

Fun fact: "Generous amount of vacations every year (5-6 weeks)" corresponds with European employment standards :).

I have 28 days + Christmas Eve + New Year's Eve (+ bank holidays), which is not particularly exceptional in Germany.
