Sweden has had a lower per-capita COVID deathtoll than European states with heavy lockdowns. Lockdown South American nations have had about the same COVID toll as non-lockdown nations. Same when you look at individual US states. Doesn'

It would be more effective to just regulate the maximum % commission that these platforms are allowed to charge. Set it at 5% for developers located in the EU, and be done with regulation forever. But - this method doesn't allow for ov

At what point does this whole charade end?

And who is going to come in and fix this water infrastructure, the British? The fact is that environmental conditions worsen each decade in India and quality of life is lower than in the 70s when the population was 555million (currently 1.3

Then why are they not massively ramping up ICU capacity? Surely the 'cost' of doing that is less than the 'cost' of shutting down huge sections of society? Why don't we have the same lockdowns when influenza threate

With the core factor being that there are more people than the water supplies can support. The solution here is a one-child or no-child policy, just as in China.

No, but with the 15% commission tier for <$1m companies, you can expect an Indie renaissance.

People should be able to go out on their own terms, instead of deteriorating in an aged care centre. It should be completely legal for those aged 80 and over, for example, to seek to end their life - if they decide they have lived all they

There was no spike in deaths in November in Sweden: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps Weekly snapshots are too volatile. If everyone who was going to die in March dies in the first week of March, but none die in the r

The other factor little talked about in Europe is aged carers - usually from Eastern Europe and the FSU - rushing to return home to their families in the midst of border closures, lockdowns, and flight cancellations. This lead many resident

This is not realistic in any kind of inclement weather or at night. I guess these central areas of Paris will become completely unsuitable to families, who will be forced out to suburban areas.

Failing the implantation of zygotes, we could just allow a free market for sperm. Why shouldn't women or couples be able to pay $10,000 for the DNA of men like Elon Musk?

by IronRanger 6y ago
We should begin to harvest the eggs and sperm (or zygotes) of the most intelligent and productive people on the planet, and then pay people to bring those children to term and raise them. It would eliminate poverty.

The primary 'value' of mask mandating is to discourage shopping, going outside, and use of public transit - since masks are generally unpleasant and asocial. Once these factors are removed its unlikely that mask wearing provides a

What was the age profile of the trial? If you fill it with healthy people under 50 during Summer you would expect the same results with a placebo, given the profile of the virus.

These replacement taxes need to come from road use charging, to deal with congestion during commutes. Shifting non-essential travel to an hour earlier or later in the day will have a hugely beneficial impact in unclogging many cities.

This is presumably part of the reason the iPhone 6S is not going to receive iOS 14 next year - since it was sold with 16GB as the lowest capacity. The next model along, the iPhone 7, had 32GB as the lowest capacity.
