Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

  • Haha, you got in there before I corrected my typo. The point still stands though! There's a whole lot of people in the world, 80k doses is fuck all.

  • Even if R&D cost $100m for this, they'd still only need to sell roughly 80000 doses to make their money back.

  • I gotta say that is one depressing looking house. It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round. And it's just so grey and featureless.

  • In the past couple of years they've really ramped up development of tools for creating electronic music, such as the clip launcher and beat grid. I have only really used it for pro-tools style recording, when I started using it there wasn't even any midi capability. I bet it'd be pretty good for electronic music now, given the right synth plugins.

    My favourite thing about ardour is the work flow and the anywhere-to-anywhere audio routing.

    I've been using it for 13 years and love it!

  • Basically just looks like a flowcharting app? What about draw.io? It's not that extensive but it's pretty good and free.

  • I don't understand, it seems perfectly reasonable - people are just so used to these products being sold at a loss or at cost and subsidised by huge companies.

    I would happily pay extra to not be tied to a massive corporation.

    • It's Past Time To Ban Right-On-Red

    Jump

  • That's precisely my point, in the UK red is stop. That's it, just stop, no going under any circumstances. If I see a car going through a red light then they are breaking the law, so it's pretty surprising to see it happen.

    • It's Past Time To Ban Right-On-Red

    Jump

  • I was shocked the first time I went to a country that allowed this. What is the point of having a red light if it doesn't mean stop? As a pedestrian, it seems ridiculous and dangerous.

    • if you could standardise a file format for a specific task what would you pick and why

    Jump

  • Nice, hadn't seen this before. From the looks of the Ardour forum there is nobody currently looking at implementing the forum but they seem open to it. I would contribute but I only know python so probably not much use. I could write a ardour-dawproject translator in python but seems a bit pointless if someone goes and creates a proper implementation at some point anyway

  • Some new format for DAW session files that is compatible with all DAWs. I believe ardour can import protools files but I bet a lot. Of work went into that.

  • That is not what 96khz means. It doesn't just mean it can store frequencies up to that frequency, it means that there are 96,000 samples every second, so you capture more detail in the waveform.

    Having said that I'll give anyone £1m if they can tell the difference between 48khz and 96khz. 96khz and 192khz should absolutely be used for capture but are absolutely not needed for playback.
