Commies are really, really rare in Germany. I find it personally doubtful that so many are involved in that research area. Also try to assume that they are acting in good faith.

Are they that rare? 5 percent of the vote goes to Die Linke, 1 in 20 isn't exactly non existent.

Commies are not rare in Germany, they just don't call themselved commies.

Die Linke is not a communist party. German communists are called DKP (15K votes in the last election) and MLPD (23K votes).

Living in Germany I have to say that no one predicted anything remotely correct regarding Corona. It is mostly anxiety and panic driven and short sighted and working against people not with the people.

Corona brings live and death questions to the doors of normal people and also plays havoc with our political parties. It is embarrasing to observe to watch them for the most part. Seems for some of them the first problem they really have to work on instead of only talking about it.

How can one model (or simulate) what one do not fully understood?

Remember that simulation of covid from UK with all the pomp and bravado? Not even close to reality.

Taking something from someone else is wrong. Doing it for the good of others doesn't correct this theft. The degree that this happens in a society represents the level to which civilisation is broken and corrupted.

Open source examples aren't communism, there's no threat of force. It relies on decentralized collaboration and natural willingness to create and share. There's a solid legal framework in place that promotes use, improvement and extension with low cost to all parties.

Hello World! It appears the EpidemicsRunner software toolkit has been made open source. It was developed by a crossfunctional team of the German Goethe Center for Scientific Computation Universität and has apparently been used in real life settings as guidance tool. Images, description and source code can be found on https://github.com/devanshr/epidemics The EpidemicsRunner allows the user to run various algorithms u…

Thank you for making public money sponsored code public. If you don't mind why was the software written in C++?

I don't mean any disrespect by asking this, but asking why this was done in C++ implies you believe some other option would have been better; or at least it gives me that impression. What language should this have been done in, in your opinion?
