They get assigned greek letters by the WHO when they become important enough for such honors. Heard of something called "delta"? The name was assigned yesterday, so the website hasn't added it. They have them in parentheses o

No, it looks quite a bit like what might happen if a virus has about a billion infected people to evolve.

It's really very much like lego: the virus is a three-dimensional shape that fits certain elements on cells where it docks and enters. Antibodies are also shaped to to fit into some spot on the virus' surface. When the virus evolv

Yeah, that's where the fun algorithms trying to predict reliability from the set of products you're buying comes in... It's getting rarer, though. The cost difference is eroding and signing is too slow for supermarket checkou

There are what, two billion people using a browser every day? Three? For some amount of time measured in hours? There is nothing that could prevent a product in that spot from becoming more sophisticated over time, and it doesn't requi

I don't know what problem you are trying to solve? To stay with the example: Germany already bans CCTV except for specific locations such as train stations. People follow the law reasonably well, and the police just does it because any

I don't believe the article is denying the schools' right and responsibilities in protecting children from harm. It is just assuming as much as commonly accepted. Then, it does the same with regards to the "harmfulness"

I have no idea what engine count should have to do with argument: my rowboat has two engines (if my partner is coming along), yet I'm willing to part with it for below $ 150 million. It's also safer than most military helicopters

I was going to comment that it has both means, i. e. partial as well as full mit.. aehm, let's say "reduction (in harmful effects of)". But the dictionary is somewhat disappointing in only mentioning the gradual/partial

I'm not quite certain how common it really is. But, in any case, ports are expected to occasionally collide and therefore easy to configure. If port collisions were such a hassle, we wouldn't see anything like a "common&quot

You should have been here last year, when it was still believable you had not heard of the excess death statistics: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm...

Of all the metrics we have mortality is the least likely to suffer from these problems: death is eminently measurable, and won’t be fudged by wishful thinking, expectations, or placebo effects. Outright manipulation is hard, because you can

Their idea does show a pretty stark difference b/w "regulated" and "unregulated" exchanges, however, as would be expected if that activity is fraudulent in some way.

Great, I installed the Visual Studio for Mac (that I didn't know existed) and it immediately froze my Macbook, something that hasn't happened to me in recent history. So I guess they really do support the full Microsoft experience

It's so original you're the third person in this threat to propose it. Congratulations! So smart! Unfortunately, that sort of self-aggrandizing pseudo-clever cynicism is what's driving this whole fad. There were times when

The point is sort-of the official reasoning behind the rules as they are. People will promise they'd accept all consequences of their actions. But we restrict people's freedom to trade away their own future freedom to such a degre

It's notoriously difficult to study because you can't tell some 6-year old that they should become a gamer as that is what your random number generator wants them to do. But, it's also difficult to study because the effect si

It is entirely obvious that biased results are the results of real-world biases, at least in most cases. That explains them, but it doesn't excuse very much. Reproducing, for example, incorrect hiring or credit decisions is wrong i

I’m not sure how “the Wilderness” compares to the status quo, but you’d always need a search option, wouldn’t you? And since search results have to be in some order, you will need to come up with at least one indicator to sort them. Pure ra

Anti-trust isn't a crime. And there are reasons for that other than what cynicism suggests. It is far more difficult to pin down the definition, for example, than it is even for typical white-collar crimes (fraud etc.). And it's

I believe it's about the common case of two events sharing a single (infinitely small) point of time: meeting A from 3 to 4, followed by meeting B from 4 to 5. Those two time periods do overlap mathematically, but not physically: they
