Spreading across the "pepper coast" via land connections: The area from Guinea to Ghana seems to be relatively sparsely populated with exception of a few cities.
You somehow missed the Ivory Coast, population 20 million? Not all urban, the biggest city, Abidjan has a population of 4.5 million.
And these cities are now basically disconnected from international air traffic.
Monrovia currently has flights to Brussels and Casablanca.
When the pandemic runs its course and stabilizes over the pool of potential infected, the final mortality will rather be 65-75%. Now consider what a few thousand infected will do to the healthcare system of any so-called developped country, and you'll realize that even your standards for rudimentary care are optimistic. The hubris in your opinion is palpable.
So your contention is that the health systems of Liberie, Guinea and Seirra Leone were better prepared for this problem than those of first world countries?
Liberia has some 4million people and borders are only lines on a map.
Both true, but -
Everybody in Africa knows that running into the forest is how you die - there is nothing to eat there.
People leave their villages when forced out at gunpoint or in face of serious problems like drought. Not a tiny problem like disease, which is omnipresent.
All it takes is a couple of people who 'aren't infected, just look' (there are a few days of little-to-no symptoms) to bribe some official to get on some plane or past a border check.
Except that's already happened.
In the middle of a hospital doctors strike in the receiving country.
And the receiving country was Nigeria, not a country with a first world health system.
When going from a 32-bit to a 64-bit architecture, you certainly need the code to be properly optimized for the new target architecture. For instance, if you do not use the new instructions, it is unlikely you will see a major performance improvement.
There is absolutely no reason to expect a 64 bit architecture to be faster than a 32 bit architecture unless you are doing a lot of 64 bit operations, or need more than 4G of RAM.
It doesn't help when emails are leaked from one of the universities doing a lot of the work on it that indicate data was purposely ignored in favor of making their models work and so on.
you knew that was a lie and now you're throwing up a smokescreen of irrelevant rubbish in order to hide it.
All the efficiency is in breeder reactors. Nothing else comes close, so don't exclude them from the discussion. All the other options sound like a steam-powered motorcycle.
But that's irrelevant.
Fuel is a vanishingly small part of the price of nuclear power. Breaders get more electricity out of a unit of fuel, but at the cost of being more expensive to build. Since there is no shortage of fuel who wants to build more expensive reactors when cheap ones work?

And these cities are now basically disconnected from international air traffic.
Monrovia currently has flights to Brussels and Casablanca.
Conacry has flights to Paris and Casablanca.
Freetown has flights to Brussels and Casablanca.
So, not quite disconnected.

imagine 1/3 of the USA or the first world dying?
That's the "happy end" of John Brunner's "The Sheep Look Up".
Embargo completely those countries were it is currently at. No one in, no one out.
A couple of weeks ago that would have included the US, the UK and Spain.
While there is a certain amount of local ignorance or incapacity of hygiene going on here
By "here" you mean slashdot, right?
Because I've read a shitload of stuff in this discussion that makes the average inhabitant of Monrovia look like a qualified virologist.
90% of the infected die.
For values of 90 that are less than or equal to 50.
Liberia has some 4million people and borders are only lines on a map.

It takes three medical support people to keep an Ebola patient clean, dry, hydrated, fed
Yes, but those same 3 can deal with up to 10-20 other patients at the same time.
And three more armed and dangerous army types to defend you while you do it
No. because not all the world is the one against all hobseian hellhole that the US pretends it is.
This strain kills 90%
Rubbish. Around 50% with rudimentary treatment.
All it takes is a couple of people who 'aren't infected, just look' (there are a few days of little-to-no symptoms) to bribe some official to get on some plane or past a border check.
Except that's already happened.

And the receiving country was Nigeria, not a country with a first world health system.
And we've had 21 infected and 7 deaths so far.
So don't panic yet.
From my mums point of view it revolutionised education.
Though she was always pissed that Myra Hindley graduated the same year as her with a better degree. :-(
The same thing that happened to the 1950's and 1960's era dream of delivering education by television,
So, you never heard of the Open University?

So, when you said:

you knew that was a lie and now you're throwing up a smokescreen of irrelevant rubbish in order to hide it.
Another dishonest debater. End of conversation.
You win the internets with that one.
What is this "beta" of which you speak?
That's not a "con". Sanity requires ECC RAM.
The point of ZFS is that hardware raid sucks.
Yes, that's the point about mdadm too.
What does ZFS get you that a layered EXTx/LVM/Mdadm stack doesn't?
If you read then, then you already know what yhe referencs are.
No, I know what you appear to think the emails said. I also know the email you are eliptically refering to had nothing to do with:
data [being] purposely ignored in favor of making their models work and so on.
The "decline" was never "ignored", multiple peer reviewed papers were written about it.
It also had nothing to do with "making models work".
I have read them.
Referencing those emails please tell me what in them indicates:
data was purposely ignored in favor of making their models work and so on.
By "and so on" do you mean "one graphic made for a presentation", i.e. nothing to do with models?
Why?
What brain dead fuck moded that "troll"?
Well, yes, but my formulation was funnier.

How many complex queries does a medical system need?
I dunno. Depends on if you want to mine the database to find clusters of vampires I guess.
