if you were going to do that, i think you should render two half width spaces rather than a full width and a zero width, so the cursor still moves naturally.

in vim if you run gqip to reflow a paragraph (or gq generally to reflow some area based on a motion), if the old layout has a fullstop at the end of a line, the new layout will have a double space after it

0.1% is the flu cfr. 0.6ish% seems to be the corona ifr. these are comparing chalk and cheese. how many people who get the flu never rock up to a doctor? the ifr for flu is closer to 0.01%. the worst case scenarios are disproven it is true

0.6% this is the estimated ifr. comparing it to the cfr of flu is not right, which is about ten times less than the flu ifr - or about 60 times less than this figure. your conclusion is upheld, but even moreso

otoh, it gives about the same ifr as the recent study in geneva. at the end of the day, it looks like the first wave will have an ifr of about 0.6% - more than ten times greater than the flu, but not the bubonic plague

the plague rolled around for like half a millenium, it was constantly present in europe for more than three centuries. is that your plan?

you're free to do anything with gpl software that you would be free to do in the absence of the gpl. consequently it in no way limits any freedom; the freedom has been limited by applicable law. if this is a problem you need to take it

i'm not scared that hungary might use covid-19 as a justification to abandon democracy in exchange for dictatorship. i see they did. an observation is a terrible thing.

yep. my solution uas simple. listen to my attention. if it's boring (at that instant), why stay? eventually i found and completed several projects, the need or interest driving me. and sometimes, i pick something up off the backburner

democracy is better because in extreme situations it works. the u.s. is not exactly a democracy tho, because it is so hard for a third party to be viable it's practically illegal. fptp doesn't do that - see canada, india, the u.k.

anti-temperature perfectionism is what got us into this mess. having quick, imperfect tests and good follow up brought South Korea under control. anti-test perfectionism means the entire west is shut down. we only had so many perfect tests,

actually, you might. if you foresee a bad season followed by a quick ramp up, three month redudancy payouts and then talant scouting, you might well pay them to do nothing. if you forsee a bad year, yeah, i think you probably lay them off u

is public assistance also entirely disconnected? sure, they will lay people off or furlough them. there's genuine problems with work at the moment. but do they want help beyond that?

there's many ways to use unexpected income. share buybacks are one. lower prices and higher salaries are another. pretending that this is about cash reserves is a strawman. if the company is going to depend on the public teet, it shoul

but if we're going to insure them, shouldn't they pay proportionate taxes? it seems like these corporations weren't being taxed enough if they could give themselves such large payouts and then teeter and fall at the next down

it's the ratio of new cases to total, which accounts for the comparability. most countries remain comparable with themselves, and those that do change method, since the growth is exponential, it tends to drown out any incomparabilities

yes as i read it, it reminded me of a launcher we had on our 486/Windows 3.11 machine. can't remember its name - quick something - but it was much simpler, no windows, just full screen categories. more like a modern webapp design,

in a trial, you get invited and you might be placeboed out as a control. in the “just try it and see scenario”, you offer it as a possibility, and everyone who ops in, gets it. it might not be as scientifically rigorous, but that's a b
