So, the capture of Afghanistan's production can help us against covid. ;-)

Let us just go a small step further and let facebook and twitter choose the next presidents.
Transmission within a masked & lockdown population is still large. Does not even seem to change... Because there is no asymptomatic transmission. We need quarantine instead of sick people. Masks have health side-effects, because 99% of people do not follow the OSHO safety standards.
The transmission within a household between partners has an average of 27%. Another extremely weird number. Did the tests give false positives? Is the disease misidentified? Or did the others already have T-cell herd-immunity?
So the real question is: What is causing transmission?
And note the R does not show that at all, and focusing on that gives us the wrong solutions.
There may be other factors that create a high transmission. Some doctors listed an extreme long survival time of the virus (up to 16 days under good conditions). So maybe it transmits mainly via surfaces and not via the air.
That might explain why it can spread within a population under a military lockdown. But that latter might also be explained with the false positives from a PCR test (or similar test). Or the natural immunity of most people creating partial herd-immunity within the population.

The string handling are much better than C. Most is just automatically. You would not even encounter any difficulties until you start to interface with C libraries. And then it is still easy.
Due to this and strong typing and bounds-checking you automatically avoid most memory errors that you get in C. But you can make it as complicated as C, with pointers to pointers to arrays, disable bounds-checking/type-checking, etc. There are some limited parametric type possibilities.
The disadvantage is the absence of closures/lambdas. Instead you have to make pointers to functions, like in C. Or use Objects like in Java. But with manual memory management.
The manual memory management and type declarations give extra overhead. Like in C. A lot would be avoided with inline variable declarations with automatic typing.
I tried to give a guideline on how to do critical thinking and how to investigate the truth about something.
The first steps are: 1) logical fallacies 2) the scientific method .. And I think that these should be part of basic education.
Then we have 4) possible fraud/crime 5) bias 6) Unknowns. Which help to understand the limits or problems with different conclusions.
And 7) solutions. is how to work towards a common acceptable solution
Here is the full guideline: https://saidit.net/s/Solutions/comments/50i5/how_to_investig... Feel free to comment / add to it.

We already knew that governments censor Human rights and leaks proving war-crimes and false flags. Even the UK puts journalists in prison.
But today it has grown to the censorship of Doctors and Scientists, because they have better insight in what is really happening than the governments. That is because the governments are guided by lobbyists.
A lot of companies are specialized in hacking the standards for testing. Depending on the company they use some of these tricks: These are all small sample sizes (around 100) picked from huge numbers of tested people (10s of thousands). They look at short term results, long term effects failed dramatically in animal testing. They use tests that can give false positives (PCR>26 cycles), and/or false negatives. Or just look at symptoms that are similar to flu. They do not have a proper (long term) placebo group (why not also use untreated patients as well). Other factors with huge impact as health, habits, food, Vitamin-D.
Big pharma wants to collect "their" billions for their medicine. Which is why we cant have nice things. (Or cheap medicine that do work well).
As an alternative to C++, JAI is more promising in my opinion.
Science progresses when new paradigms are discovered. From that new mathematical models can be derived and tested.
For example, there is an experiment that breaks with quantum mechanics. It does not break it completely, but it replaces it with a different model that is so simple that it is the best according to Occam's Razor.
Like: Null-hypothesis: quantum mechanics shows that there are no photons https://saidit.net/s/Physics/comments/18rz/nullhypothesis_qu...
With the experiments we can see that photons are not only complicated, but also breaking with the observations. This breaks the paradigm of the particle-model. Instead we have something else, which we can test now with simple experiments.
Experiments are on: http://thresholdmodel.com
And I don't know if the conclusions are correct, but I am excited to see a testable breakthrough in the stalemate of quantum interpretations.
But looking at the real data, the study was not completely randomized as they had removed some patients. Patients that had died.
So it was essentially a P-hack to sell us a worthless but expensive product. So I stopped believing that Big Pharma would save us, and that their science-journals were giving honest reports.
In the mean time I see reports of different very cheap medicines that give a 10x reduction in death-rates. From 500 to 50 and such. That is extremely hard to hack because these death numbers would show up elsewhere. From the reports it appears that the virus is very vulnerable to some cheap anti-viral medicine.
But there is no money in that, so it will not be promoted that heavily.
Here are some videos where the science papers are explained by an expert.
I care about (1) the pollution with 100,000 years of half-life and (2) corruption and (3) Murphy's law.
None of these problems are even closely solved. The only constant is that errors will be made. My previous generation thought that it was OK to put waste into the oceans. Or dump it in Africa.
Some Thorium solutions may work, but they need to be researched and improved. There are some scientists working on transforming nuclear waste, and this is the first thing that needs to be done.
Don't come back until you have done that.
The Sweden accusation was started, because Sweden can send prisoners to the US immediately. The US started this scheme after wikileaks exposed the warcrimes in Iraq.
The Uk kept the arrest on Assange, even after this all was cleared. And are still holding him against all laws.
It is that simple.
1. bookmarking,
2. will look at it any minute/day now.
3. need to read/watch further when I got time.
4. page no longer available on site.
5. music to play in the background.
So what a browser mainly needs a a way of bookmarking that also stores some of the state of the page. Like position on page, selection, video/audio-position, saved to local cache.
Then as second step, you can evaluate the data yourself, or even question it. See where you can find the source, or see other data. This step is more checking if the statistical evaluations are correct, or if there is p-hacking or any other problem. It must also follow basic common science. And if not, this should be explained.
What I usually find (>90% of the articles that I find interesting) is that the reports are conflicting and even the data is conflicting. The evidence/science is often incomplete and filled in with unfounded theories. And knowing this, it reduces the amount of information that is important in the articles.
So technically logical thinking is a way to compress all the data, without loss of information.
Also, this means that the death-rate is far lower than reported. And this is nice too. Maybe we can save people by starting the society again.
In other news, we see that hydroxychloroquine is actually working according to doctors. But there was a very bad study that claimed that it caused 2x as many deaths. It should have said instead that it was mainly used on patients that were close to death. Here is a good analysis of that study. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLSYRqcg0wo&feature=youtu.be... Bad studies like this wide published one show that science is not immune to political agendas.
