The parent company of Air France is AirFrance-KLM which is a publicly traded company. France and the Netherlands are the largest shareholders and hold about 14 and 12 % of the stock each. So it is probably not correct to identify Air France

No, it's certainly not. If the bomb threat wasn't real (and I would definitely doubt that it was) that's a violation of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Art. 5.

There is some interesting research into this, also known as liquid democracy, if somebody wants to Google that. I'm personally not a big fan, because it's very difficult to organize it in such a way that there is not some form of

My armchair theory is that this is not some kind of advanced market manipulation but Musk actually changed his mind about this after initiating his carbon capture challenge. He seems like somebody who changes his mind a lot and he is fully

Which makes sense, right? Otherwise I'll declare my stock and property to be currency and directly exchange it at the dealership for a new car, avoiding the capital gain tax.

I agree that incarceration is a necessary compromise and of course I don't want a killer to strike again. Forgiveness doesn't mean that I'm against all punishment. But I think that it means there always has to be a chance for

Because I care deeply about everybody – no matter what they have done. Because forgiveness and love are my core values, even if it doesn't usually show up in my day to day life. Because revenge is always bad. Torturing somebody no matt

Please note that it is actually unclear why his video was taken down. It's extremely common for chess videos to Feature the words "white", "black", "weak" and "strong".

But if you actually need more accuracy (which I do not in my daily life) you can simply add a decimal point? Also, that's a difference between 60 and 100 data points, which is not really that much.

You should watch the full video – that's the point.

I'm not sure if this is a joke I don't get but speaking about weird cultural mix-ups: Copenhagen is not related to the Netherlands. I'm actually glad that people are getting EU states all mixed up but we're not there yet

I would follow your logic if the english pronunciation of the word Volkswagen was actually phonetically consistent. But while "Volks" is pronounced in an english way, isn't the word "wagen" pronounced in a weird Ger

Because if you destroy the boat and it sinks that will make the passage unusable for a long time? I mean currently it seems possible to drag the ship out of this problem but if it's no longer floating you might need to start sawing it

I'm also just speculating but my understanding is that there is already a lot of money behind this and that it simply takes time for companies specialized in salvaging ships to physically get there with their equipment and also develop

Wow, the same ship with a very unusual accident just 14 Months ago. A very bad look and hints to a deeper systemic issue that was not fixed.

Does the US have the justification to ban vaccine shipments to other countries in your opinion?
142.
by chki 6y ago
Sorry, I meant to say: Because the EU allows vaccines to be exported. The EU could in theory stop all exports which is what the US has done.

There are a lot of things not true in your comment; I will point out a few things: The EMA did not get any additional power delegated to it by Merkel or anybody else. Maybe you are talking about the joint vaccine procurement by the European

That's not true, all three vaccines authorised in the EU are approved under a conditional market authorisation, which is a sped up process but not an emergency authorisation. The United Kingdom did authorise (some?) vaccines for emerge

Interesting points, I did not know about these actions in South America. I don't want to be too generous to Pfizer/Biontech and you rightly point out the need to be cautious with these companies especially if they are in such an i

This is not completely correct, at least in the EU there have not been any emergency vaccine authorisations by the EMA which means that pharmaceutical companies will be liable for mistakes that cause adverse health effects. In the UK there

In some jurisdictions (I can only speak for Germany with some authority) if you've made a serious effort to get legal advice on a complicated topic and the legal advice was wrong this will (probably) mean that you're not guilty of

I agree. I'm at a similar chess rating level, I would add that it is very weak in the endgame. I guess if it only looks four moves into the future it's difficult to see pawn promotions.

If a new variant emerges during a "recession" of the original variant, it will automatically hide within the high case numbers of the original variant.
