   I haven’t seen any credible evidence yet that delta is less dangerous at the individual level than alpha or than the original virus. We know that if a person is vaccinated, then exposure to the original variant is less dangerous than exposu

   Assuming that all of Florida has the delta variant, right now 53% of all adult ICU patients is with COVID-19, and the total people in hospitals with COVID is about 79 per 100K. So I don’t understand why anyone thinks this variant is less d

   I’m this case, if the breach data is true, customers need to buy new phones, get new SSN, (and possibly change name) to have any sense of safety in the future. I wouldn’t use a compromised IMEI phone for 2FA anymore but most people would an

   Thanks! pdf-tools gives me very crip images without the flag mentioned in the gibhub issue (perhaps that's default by now?). My personal org setup uses pdf-tools, so maybe that's why I didn't notice that one either. I hadn

   I can see SVG fine on my Mac from top of tree emacs. (I think I use the rsvg library.) Maybe I misunderstood something; what is the thing I am missing?

   I think that 1 and 2 are already there. I am not sure about 8 and 9. In addition to programmers, Emacs has amazing communities of researchers, writers, note keepers, cooks, sysadmins, all kinds of remote workers. It is nice to have direct

   I strongly recommend the book Unix Power Tools for all such questions. Quotes become easier to grok once you think of different ways to remove meaning of special characters. Basically, 1) backslash removes special meaning of the next char

    Or much worse yet, otherwise the authors could have used clear language.

    I believe you understand that R0 is not only a function of biology but of human behavior, density, and ventilation. If biology becomes twice as effective and all else stays the same, R0 doubles. The paper you cite [4] is about the British v

    When I think of a new shell I want to understand quoting and the special meaning of characters. Bash has found a decent compromise; what does nu plan to do? The documentation is pretty scant, but perhaps that’s because the language is still

    There is already a decent understanding of documented reinfections. The first such cases came out a year ago, e.g.: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200406006700320 , or https://www.jpost.com/health-scie

    I'm not sure what test you have in mind, and I'm guessing that such tests with high false positive bias might exist, for example the antibody tests. It's very difficult to get a genuine false positive with a PCR-based test:

    Thanks very much for the additional depth on what “old and clunky” could mean in cryptography. I am no expert in this area, and I agree that all these nightmare scenarios you mention (and many more, I’m sure) are very concerning. I prefer t

    I agree that PGP is clunky. Maybe it's just me, but I often find that modern is the opposite of safe and robust.

    You might have already tried this: I’ve had fantastic performance starting a remote emacs server and using emacs (often in terminal mode) through ssh. It certainly has a one time cost: setup your local terminal for all keys to go through,
