The underlying question is how much of the population has to be immune for "herd immunity" to take effect. The pandemic will burn out once enough people (let's say X% of the population) are immune to the virus, and this is ca

Is there any calendar system that numbers days from zero? I'm sure that the Gregorian, Tamil, Chinese, and Discordian calendars don't. The closest thing I can think of is strftime's %w and %W flags for numbering days and week

So it's a really good start, but nobody is going to be throwing these structures into molecular docking simulations for drug discovery or etc just yet. But hopefully those details can be worked out soon enough.

I'm pretty sure that C++ compilers don't do this either. In C++ this is resolved by leaning on the "One Definition Rule" which authorizes the linker to assume a symbol that's defined in multiple translation units is

If you're impressed with TypeScript, you should definitely check out ReScript (formerly BuckleScript). Its type system is clean and sound, and yet compiles to native JS without overhead. https://rescript-lang.org/docs&#

The main one I know of is international money transfers (remittances). Usually these have to go through an oligopoly that sets the fees and exchange rates to be favorable to itself. This is the kind of market that's pretty big on the i

Aren’t the primers supposed to be pretty selective for the RNA sequences being targeted? Otherwise any other random RNA in the sample (like from some other viral infection) would result in a false positive, right?
