See my other comment. I was comparing to one of the viruses that causes a COLD not influenza.

Colds are quite different to flues.

I was comparing with a cold not with influenza.

We could try to make the comparison you are suggesting instead. But to make a valid comparison we need to consider:

Is influenza infectious for 10 days before any symptoms show?

How many people get the influenza vaccine each year? I.e. is there some herd immunity built up?

The symptoms of influenza are universally nasty for everyone infected. No one with the flu is walking around and going to work (if you think do then you don't have the influenza virus you have a cold). It seems that at least some people with this new corona virus just have cold like symptoms and therefore will not by default be self-isolating like people with influenza naturally do.

I never said 50% of the population have the same cold at once. 50% catching it over a 6 month period is very reasonable.

Peak cold symptoms last about 3 days. I never said 50% of the population have the same cold at once. 50% catching it over a 6 month period is very reasonable.

It seems to be as infectious as a cold. So no.

Telemetry is 100% not a viable fit for an open source project. A very significant proportion of your potential users will either keep it disabled or if that is not possible (which would be illegal in the EU anyway) not use your software.

Just ask your users.

> Also about telemetry if all power users turn it off then you can have situations where developers will drop a feature because they don't use it and there is no data to show that more then 12 people are using it.

Yet another reason not to put telemetry in your software.

We actually broadly agree that it is a shame that Apple don't support their Unix utilities.

Not sure why people think they can rely on the pre-installed Unix utilities on macOS.

EDIT: Apple routinely don't update the Unix utilities for a decade...

I would not even know where to buy one!

Why would someone want to clean so many bathrooms?

Do middle class Americans clean their own homes?

Miscarriage affects more like 1 in 3 pregnancies.

That number won't change. The main cause of miscarriage is that the embryo/foetus has a massive problem and can't ever develop. There is nothing medical science can do. In fact many more miscarriages are known about today - 50 years ago most women wouldn't even have known they were pregnant they would have thought they had a late heavy period.

Didn't Startpage change ownership recently?

Yes but in many countries this can get you into legal trouble.

Not as big as you are thinking the MMR is normally given after one year. This is because there are some know potential negative side effects when babies get it earlier.

The point is that society already evaluates these hazards/risks very effectively so that individual parents don't need to. Indeed any individual parent's risk analysis about vaccines is likely to put their children at greater risk.

The GDPR pop up is NOT just a pop up (not if you are following the law). If you are a data controller and you believe that the GDPR is just a pointless pop up you should consult your lawyer and see what they say.

As far as I'm concerned the GDPR is great regulation that puts people before corporations.

Entertaining anti-vaccination as a non idiotic concept costs lives.

Maybe stupidity should be ridiculed? We've tried taking it seriously and it isn't helping.

The lesson is don't change for the sake of change.

Basically it comes down to companies having systems for paying invoices. It's hard to get small and medium sized companies to make charitable donations - especially to open source which doesn't even help their corporate social responsibility goals.

So release code under duel AGPL and commercial licences...

Most companies won't touch AGPL and will be very happy to pay for the commercial licence.

The potential for audit is powerful on its own.

Do you remember the shareware days? Installing something you wanted meant getting a bunch of browser toolbars etc.

The potential for forking is also powerful.

Not publicly[1] but it could be on given day. Closed source code can't be.

[1] Google presumably audited it when they used a fork.

If I understand the article properly he threatened someone at gunpoint! That's a serious crime.

> I'm certain he's also criminally liable for the victim getting shot in the leg.

I missed that.

Yeah this article discusses an armed robbery where a firearm was discharged and someone was injured. That is a serious crime that upon conviction results in a serious sentence in any jurisdiction.

You have no obligation to say anything until provided with a solicitor.

> Those are very simple things, but I'm also curious how you can do some advanced operations like group by having, window functions, CTEs, aggregate functions that return JSONB structure (so you don't have to send duplicate data and avoid N+1 queries). How do you use PostGIS?

You don't! That is not what an ORM is for. Use SQL. Any decent ORM with allow you to integrate SQL.

Check out the Fluent (query builder) and Eloquent (ORM) from Laravel. They allow all the features you want.

As someone that knows SQL I find that the ORM enables me to have decent queries rather then getting in the way.

If you do a bunch of filtering/joining etc that should be done in SQL by grabbing whole tables you can hit a CPU bottleneck...

But then maybe your problems are deeper that choice of language.

I can definitely maintain an install of whatever is needed. Why would I use time doing something that doesn't create value over and above just using a paid for solution?
