> use by individual hobbyists, students, universities, non-profit organizations, or businesses with less than 200 employees is allowed, and all other usage is considered commercial and thus requires a business relationship with Anaconda
Wow this is so deliberately ambiguous about universities with more than 200 employees. Shameful.
TLDR - we are working to clean up this language to leave it clear that educational institutions are exempt, and that these commercial terms do not apply to third-party channels hosted at anaconda.org (which includes conda-forge).
You’ve had the existing language up for years. Your licensing regime is a dark pattern torpedoing anything Good about Anaconda. Anaconda is threatening academic researchers for back usage in something those researchers thought was free.
Show us don’t tell us. I’d love to not have to continue the rip and replace job ahead.
Edit: this linkedin response sums it up well. Not certain what guarantee you will make to research institutions’ leaders that is going to lift those blocks.
However, please tell this to your sales/legal teams: the nature of their approaches has been somewhat poisoning the well. If leadership’s first encounter with a piece of software is: "you are in legal trouble", the reaction you're going to get is: "remove and block that legally dangerous piece of software at once", rather than "oh yes we should license it". We do buy licenses for software, we view it as giving back, but how the offering is first presented matters.
Does anyone have this problem where `/users` present in any path in the run configuration capitalize upon Pycharm exit? e.g. https://imgur.com/2gy8S9k. (I think it happens because in the server I have /users folder and in MacOS I have /Users and it tries to autocorrect path?) It is extremely annoying as everytime I have to revert all the changes pycharm does to all my run configurations. I remember there is a bug entry for this which has been open for quite some time.
Also I am using PyCharm 2022.1.4 (Professional Edition) because they removed the functionality to edit/customize ssh interpreters in the later versions.
I love PyCharm, as I work mainly with ssh interpreters my patience is tested everyday
The content i.e. research papers they publish are mostly from government funded research. Taxpayers fund those but don't get access: we have to buy the results from these for-profit corporations.
Looking at CVPR this year, China has the most number of authors [0]. Significant portion of the US and EU authors are probably Chinese students as well. I think they are doing quite well atleast in the front of training researchers.
You don't, but if the death rates are generally stable and predictable a huge increase during a COVID wave seems highly likely to be related.
There have been plenty of analysis of various countries mortality rates compared to normal years. In general, the trend seems to be that poorer countries have probably missed a lot of COVID deaths due to lack of testing infrastructure and heavily rural populations.
> You don't, but if the death rates are generally stable [...]
For example: if a crematorium has historically dealt with 20 cremations a week and is now doing 100 a week, you can estimate that 80 people are dying from COVID per week. The estimate is likely to be pretty inaccurate, but it's the best source of information that there is.
Certainly in NYC, I recall that at the worst of the first wave, excess deaths were very correlated with registered COVID deaths and they spiked simultaneously. There were fewer registered COVID deaths than excess deaths, but during the first spike testing wasn't always done, and people who died at home didn't always get a test postmortem.
When there's a COVID spike, most of the excess deaths are people dying of COVID (some might be people dying due to fear of COVID, or hospitals collapsing- arguably still "COVID fatalities" even if they don't test positive).
You also have to take into account how many people are not dying of Covid, but some other diseases because the healthcare system is overwhelmed by covid, and they did not get treatment. Which is immensely more sad. Most of these deaths would have been prevented, if not for Covid.
But let's be clear, inaccurate has different meanings - in this context if the official figure is 20 and it turns out that only 40 have died then that's 100% out on the official side and 50% out on the estimated side. In this context the high figure may have far more utility as well - by producing a more appropriate response from the authorities and society.
By process of elimination. Some of the places are about a thousand mile apart. There aren't too many causes that could explain a simultaneous spike in cremations at all those places coinciding with the nation wide second wave of COVID-19.
Many people do not get admitted in hospitals (due to lack of beds etc) and they die home. Many of These "at home COVID deaths" do not get recorded as COVID.
