Aren't is a contraction and means are not. You could have googled that in less time than it took to post your comment.

Then why aren't more people killed by police in some of the drug infested UK neighbourhoods?

> Nice statistics

Yeah, it sucks when someone comes armed with facts, doesn't it?

Which streaming service do you use that doesn't allow offline caching?

> that barbary will always win against democracy

It's a shame that your argument fails in the first sentence.

It's an incredibly difficult problem, with no easy solutions - projects like this one (http://www.katinganproject.com/) need to be supported and publicised, as they seek to find practical alternatives to burning the peat and forests.

And armchair liberals sit back and whine in their elitist towers. "You're doing it wrong!!!!!"

Yes, same here. I typically use between 10 GB and 30 GB a month, and have yet to experience any throttling.

Exactly. I hadn't even thought of this as being racist until I started reading comments here- in London especially, KFC ripoffs aren't a race thing, they're a class thing. I'm reasonably sensitive to people being racist, but given that this article is about London, I'm finding it hard to see the racism.

Or, better still, don't unsubscribe, and instead challenge the intolerance and prejudice.

If you don't like that, then perhaps you can unsubscribe from places where people don't want to put up with this kind of behaviour.

Yeah, I didn't realise that at the time. Makes it a bit shittier, feels graceless and petty.

The desktop client isn't working for me, but http://web.skype.com seems to work.

I don't really understand the 'whale' strategy.

I'm assuming the reference is to literally targeting a single person, but how much money can they make selling the 'whale' these additional IAP items, compared to the effort involved in having to research him and create them?

From TFA

"You will receive a perpetual fallback license once you pay for a year up front or 12 consecutive months."

This is good news - they've listened to their customers and alleviated the key concern - losing access.

From the linked article:

"The court ruling said: "The fact that the workers begin and finish the journeys at their homes stems directly from the decision of their employer to abolish the regional offices and not from the desire of the workers themselves."

So, the closure of the office seems to be highly relevant.

Can you name some cities where walking is illegal? Or even areas of cities where walking is illegal?

You seem to be conflating the perpetual licence, which is what we have currently and will stop being available in November with the new subscription. If I do not move to the subscription model, I can continue to use my current version of PHPStorm, in perpetuity.

However, I cannot subscribe under the new terms, and keep using the software if I decide to stop subscribing. Earlier in this thread you suggested that we could subscribe for a month and keep using the software afterwards. This is incorrect. Once you stop subscribing, you lose the rights to use the software

Odd that this is suddenly on the 3rd page of HN - has it been flagged or attracted some kind of penalty?

That's not how I'm reading it, and I'd be amazed if that was the case, because then, you literally could pay £6 and get PHPStorm to use forever.

Exactly this.

I'm actually disappointed that JetBrains are trying to spin this as a net positive for most folk, when it seems clear that it isn't.

Because right now, we can pay a one time fee and use the software as long as we want, without incurring any more cost in return for not getting updates or imposing a cost on JetBrains.

However, from November, that will no longer be possible. If Jetbrains decides, in 2016, to increase the license fee to $300 per year, or $500, then we will have 2 options: Pay it and continue to have access, or don't pay, and lose all access to the tools, despite the fact that we have already given you money. If I have a cashflow problem, I can no longer decide to stay with last year's version for a while, instead I lose access.

I'm sure you know this, I'm sure everyone at JetBrains knows this.

From the article (and the actual judgement the article links to)

> Absent a traffic violation, so far as can be gleaned from this record, the only visible attribute of Parker and her passengers that might have distinguished them from other motorists turning on Methodist Parkway was they are all African Americans. There simply is no other distinguishing thing that can be surmised.

> That's the root problem, not the stop.

No, the root problem is that a police officer decided to unconstitutionally stop a car with 3 African Americans, because they had committed the crime of being African American.

> It's about seeing a recurrent problem, then helping people by fixing it

And perhaps this is the first step in that process.

It doesn't require an FB account, it just heavily prioritises the FB sign in UX over the email/password one.

Looking at his comment history, it's very likely he was being sarcastic

Is there an easier to use UI for setting up IAM users. I get hopelessly confused every time I attempt it, and worry about losing access to services I've already set up.

Can you point out where Colin indicated (clearly too subtly for me) that his repeated comments on this subject were a joke and should not be taken seriously.

Once you do that, I'll try and explain (mansplain if necessary) how a play of 2 lines and 1 act is probably not a very serious response.

Literal much?

Brilliant mansplaining though!
