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 peo

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. Ju

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...

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 f

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 ve

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.

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 res

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 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?
