There's a difference between "telling you what you want", and the sense here. In this case it just means, "it's in your interest"; as in, "you want to see this!".

In any case, "options" sounds good, but it is precisely this short-term economic logic I am claiming many misperceive as being in their interest.

There are many instances of apps (, libraries, etc.) simply disappearing and being frozen in old versions because of no revenue stream against them.

You may "want" something quite different 2yr after you've invested a massive amount in using Qt, only for there to be no future versions and your app becomes uncompetitive with others which are using increasingly modern libraries.
The opposite of Craig is probably Moore in Live and Let Die, so maybe there (but it's also polarizing among fans), or Goldeneye for relatively recent Brosnan, or Dr. No or Goldfinger for classic Connery.

>If it reduces impact it also reduces impact of transmission because the patient has lower viral load.

That's incredibly likely but it's not what the trails tested, and so we can't rely on it.

When the vaccine has been rolled out much more widely we'll be able to gather the data to test that hypothesis using surveillance data.
When I worked with Qt we built a product on top of Qt 4.8.4. Not 4.8.3, not 4.8.5. This was due to some very technical details, and the product was standalone and offline so updating wasn't a concern.

Why would we have to pay multiple times for the exact same piece of software, lines of code?

Also given that software is by default sold with defects (as it is "impossible" to write perfect software), it makes sense that the selling price includes, at least, future minor patches. I would consider them as the vendor covering for its own manufacturing defects (because that's what bugs are).

I agree however with charging for new features. That's fine and makes sense.

They (neither jetbrains nor travis) don't need to give anything to anyone, true, so I don't know if it's a "bad thing" if they decide to give free things to some but not others.

I don't use jetbrains, it was brought up by analogy with travis. In Travis case, whether it's a "bad thing" or not, I think it's a dishonest thing to be claiming you provide "free service to open source projects" while introducing criteria that would exclude the majority of open source projects — which you also used to include but have switched to exclude while claiming you're doing the same as ever.

So it's clearly their perogative to set whatever criteria they like, it may or not be a "bad thing", but it is definitely a huge change from what they used to, and is only actually giving free service to a very small slice of open source projects, while publicly wanting to take credit for doing otherwise.
By experience, I mean the experience you get from using the product, I don't mean the money spending experience. Audiophile industry definitely provides you the spending experience but that's not what I expect from products.

The UK government has already stated that pregnant women won't be getting the vaccine. (https://inews.co.uk/news/health/covid-vaccine-pregnant-women...)

This seems at odds with the gung-ho "it's 100% safe" rhetoric of our politicians.

I am by no means an anti-vaxxer, but I'm already finding it creepy the way any concerns are simply being dismissed. It's also just bad policy: it means that any unexpected side-effects that do emerge (even if very rare / not serious) will look much worse and immediately stink of a cover-up.

What's wrong with saying: "We are confident, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that the risk of taking this vaccine is lower than the risk of contracting Covid"? Not "This vaccine is definitely safe". I am sick of politicians treating the electorate as if they are morons who can't understand the slightest bit of nuance.

As you mention, vaccines can cause harm and have done in the past. Some degree of caution might be warranted.
A childhood friend of my sister was always shorter and skinnier than her classmates, didn't really hit the same kind of growth spurt as they did. I think she also had some indicators of ADHD, and she did run out of energy rather quickly.

It turned out after quite some time that she had lyme disease, and once that was treated, she basically hit her growth spurt with back interest. It was honestly surprisingly how much of a change it made. She grew much taller, and now has a very active career as a musician and social activist, barely ever sitting still for very long.
A proper surround setup (5.1 is more than enough for a mid-size room) or even Atmos speakers can be had for a reasonable price if you shop around. There's really no substitute (in my opinion) for the experience if you watch movies and have a compatible receiver/amplifier. A large and well-designed subwoofer is incredibly noticeable as well depending on your use case. It can easily sound better than the large majority of seats in your average theater which aren't ideally positioned without spending too much.
> A $400 Sennheiser 650 will no doubt blow them away while still being $150 cheaper.

Of course they will. But it's not fair to compare open backs with closed backs without a huge asterisk [0]

> If you want the best sound quality for the buck, you usually need to go with open-backed (or simply “open”) headphones. The open (but uncomfortable) SR60 is probably the best value in the business, followed by the awesome DT-880, which is far better than everything in this review in both comfort and sound quality. But open headphones are like screen doors: they let all exterior noise in, and more importantly, they let all of your music out. This will annoy anyone around you, so it’s extremely inconsiderate to use open headphones in buses, trains, airplanes, shared offices, or anywhere else near other people, and it’s irresponsible to recommend them without this huge warning.

I appreciate the feedback. The reason why it feels like this is because I haven't included any real CSS based examples here (which I do in the book) of what I mean.

These are not easy concepts to digest without visual examples. I will try to edit my posts with some concrete examples to get them to be closer to the book.
I see the former CONSTANTLY here. I never see the latter.
I wonder if "cost lock-in" for 6.0 would make sense in this case? 7.0 is a new version with a new price? (or 6.1?)

This allows price increases with major changes.

"Free support for life" isn't sustainable, and striking the balance here is hard.
For me the biggest downside of spatial audio is that it's iphone or ipad only. You have to choose between a big sound or a big image, but you can't get both. If I had spatial audio on my imac, I would consider it a valuable feature. Now it's mostly a gimmick.

Does this mean that CentOS 8 is EOL come 2021? Weren't maintenance updates meant to go to 2029? What about everybody who built their product on the assumption that there would be a stable CentOS until then?
They are usually unionized. This mandates that many changes opposed by the union (misconduct commissions and increased consequences) would have to be approved/negotiated by them or else risk a strike. Those negotiations tend to cut out any meaningful changes that threaten their autonomy/privileges.

GOG is owned by a company that refuses to make Linux versions of their games, after one experiment gone wrong, voicing that they are offended by received criticism over a game that plainly did not work and was not the announced native port. They have a Windows only client and put exactly zero resources into improving the state of Linux as a gaming platform. Compare that to Valve with Steam and Proton.
No, I believe you, I am questioning the book itself. Either way, thanks for the link.
$100 * 40 hours * 52 weeks = $208,000 per year. You may want to take a step outside the HN "bubble of people bragging about their salaries" and realize that this is NOT a common salary level. Most people make less than half that unless they live in SV (and even then, many are making <200k a year...)

Long, long time since I did this, but back then you made an assumption that you'd get 40% of the bond's principle in case of a default. I recently asked a credit guy about this and he also gave me this magic figure.

So from there you basically are saying at 100% chance of default, you get 40, and at zero you get 100. That gives you some amount that balances the payment from the CDS with the value of the bonds.

Umm that's just straight out wrong.

I have red meat allergy (specifically stronger for beef). IgE present for that specific test and all.

I've always thought allergic people were over-reacting. I've never had any kind of allergies before, but when I grew up and travelled, I found out that I had this particular nasty reaction with my nose. At first I thought it was pollen allergy.

Now I understand more about allergies. This type of allergy has very little scientific materials to read about so I appreciate OP's link. I just want to know more about it: what made me turn from non-allergic to very-allergic suddenly? And why beef?
Yes, an actual open auction would be astonishingly bad PR! But quietly, on the side? Maybe I'm a cynic but I struggle to believe the billionaires won't find a way.

If not from the main production... they had 43538 phase III participants, there must be leftovers, which won't appear in the books as real production... maybe you can route those to important donors of your philanthropic arm, or something? Run some "further trials" in a variety of small clinics, including those catering to visiting Saudis?

Plus actual black market stuff of course, I wonder if any of their refrigerated shipping boxes have gone missing? And, as you say, things like the Russian vaccine are probably already available at a price.

convert that price to Canadian dollars and you are over $700. What the F are you paying for? To me there is paying for a quality brand and just throwing your money away. I sometimes buy a nice pair of Nike shoes. They cost me 150$ vs 35$ for a cheap pair. But the difference in weight, feel under your foot, the quality of rubber all makes for a better shoe that you feel the difference.
The AirPods is not one of those situations however that warrant this price and I think that is where the contempt comes from. Not that people should really care since we can buy many brands at a lower cost with same quality. But people like to hate on things that cost a lot of money I believe it is just human natural. I see it a lot on Facebook marketplace when someone posts something priced high several people will come on and make fun of the post and laugh at it. They never wanted to buy what was in the add to begin with but bother to take the time to complain about it. I am really sure there is some sort of human psychological drive happening in these cases. We just love to hate on expensive things.
Oh c'mon. Apple products tend to be long lasting, are incredibly easy to use, don't malfunction, have a good design aesthetic and are a good addition to an already existing suite of Apple products. Suggesting that he values image over substance seems unnecessary.
It's an unusual cable in that it's bidirectional, but it's not full duplex. So there's no mic input, but you can use it for both audio input and output (e.g., plane audio jack to headphones OR iPhone to vintage car head unit).

I strongly suspect a lightning-to-lightning connection (e.g., headphones to iPhone) would be full duplex though.
I think there is an understandable political element to this, in that people want to see a reduction in the death rate from Covid-19 and politicians are judged on the number of deaths. So vaccinating those most likely to die makes perfect sense as it'll have most impact on death rates and therefore politicians' reputations.

A bit on the expensive side for me, but still might consider it. Only thing I'm concerned about is the battery. My airpods are more or less dead now after 2 years and 8 months. They were not crazy expensive, but they worked fine up until the last few months. The Max is almost three times as expensive. If the battery stops working after 3 years I don't think it will be worth it for me.
The news report that both the first (Margaret Keenan, 90) and the second person (William Shakespeare, 81) were vaccinated at the same "University Hospital, Coventry." So it's not that only one person was vaccinated there?

To be honest, I think this is bs. The CentOS community is huge and RH benefits a lot from the discoveries made by the community.

However, doing this will effectively make CentOS as a server OS useless for the most of us. "But Facebook uses it" - well, yes, with thousands of engineers Facebook could run their own distro and still have success if they wanted. Most useless argument ever.

Time to move on and find something else. Maybe good old Debian.

Then you haven't been paying much attention. Using downvote as 'disagree' is and has been very much the norm around here.

Also, if one was here to push their antivaxxer propaganda (not saying they are), that's the kind of innocent question they'd start with, and yours with a fresh account (not saying you're a sockpuppet) would be the similarly innocent continuation.
No, the major difference in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are in the makeup of the lipid nanoparticle. Here's an article from Moderna last year on biodegradability of the LNPs they've developed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6383180/
And presumably that's been happening for months, yet there are limited outbreaks and they are swiftly contained through contact tracing and quarantine.

Victoria was swamped yet has not had a case for 30 days now. Cross-border travel varies depending on the status of each state, but is tracked and quarantine enforced at various levels if it's available.

Testing is freely available and fairly fast.

Nationwide, there is currently one locally acquired case over the last 7 days, and 74 from overseas in the same period.

Presumably we'll bubble with NZ at some point and carefully go from there, plus see how the availability of vaccines starts to change the equation beyond that. In my circles, people are keen to travel again, but everyone is pretty matter of fact about the situation and curious about timings rather than desperate to open up.
> Well, I try to avoid talking about politics with her, but last I heard the US is "soon" going to be assassinating the leadership of China and potentially it will be sparking a nuclear war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Qasem_Soleima...

On 3 January 2020, a United States drone strike near Baghdad International Airport targeted and killed Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani while he was on his way to meet Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi in Baghdad. Soleimani was commander of the Quds Force, one of five branches of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and was considered the second most powerful person of Iran, subordinate to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Four Iranian and five Iraqi nationals were killed along with Soleimani, including the deputy chairman of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and commander of the Iran-backed Kata'ib Hezbollah militia, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis – a person designated as a terrorist by the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Indeed the variables (and values of those variables) are not identical between the two scenarios (of which the Soleimani incident is just one example from a very long historic list), but anyone who interprets such concerns about geopolitical relations with China as "crazy" might want to turn their critical lens on themselves and see if anything appears (and while doing so, one should keep in front of mind that seeing faults in one's own thinking is far more difficult than seeing it in the thinking of others).

To me, those who enthusiastically and confidently underweight risk are a bigger danger than those who overweight it, and from an aggregate societal perspective, there are a hell of a lot more of the former than the latter. At the end of the day, the amount of actual risk in the system, is the amount of actual risk in the system, which is distinctly different than how most people perceive it, which seems to be roughly that the amount of risk in the system is that which someone says is in the system (aka: an opinion). Reality is risky/problematic enough as it is - layering on this unnecessary phenomenon of completely mistaking our [opinions of X] for [actual X] (and getting angry and anyone who dares to disagree) exacerbates the problem.
