There were/are multiple vaccine candidates with different production needs. How do you decide which factories to build? I think there are a lot of unrealistic expectations when it comes to these highly sophisticated vaccines. It's

To contradict your suggestion that Germany does not see any bike usage at all: In a somewhat recent survey (2019) 44% of people claimed that they were using their bicycle as a transportation method more than once a week (up from 38% in 2015

It can be used against you in Court if you were to make a statement that the company is a "scam solicitor". Maybe an analogy to sales would make this more understandable: If I was selling computers and the laptop I sold you had so

The headline is misleading. These are not rules, there is no legislation. It was a resolution by the national governments. Without the EU commission there will be no European law on this topic. That being said the letter by ProtonMail et al

No this is not unequal justice, it is a completely normal process in the German criminal court system. The market manipulation case will probably not matter at all, it might even be a sign that the fraud case is very strong.

Highly misleading. Winterkorn has been accused of two crimes (market manipulation and fraud). In Germany if you are guilty of several crimes the sentences do not simply get added on top of each other, instead there is a "Gesamtstrafe&q

Conflict resolution mechanisms in the WTO are a very sensible solution to trade disputes, if parties actually adhere to the rulings and do not sabotage the decision making bodies.

This will depend on your specific jurisdiction but just to give you an example of the law in Germany (which I expect to be similar in other places, especially in Europe where a EU-regulation was created on the basis of the German law): Term

I think the argument is that if we stopped all our CO2 emissions right now we would comply with the 1.5 C target in 2050 but would "only" break it in 2100. Since stopping all our emissions is not even close to what's happenin

The IPCC predictions on climate change and sea level rise are pretty accurate (albeit sometimes conservative). Just look at this graph comparing the predictions from 1990 to the actual observations: https://de.wikipedia.org/

With my layman understanding this is correct in principle but according to the linked paper in the article the climate target of 1.5 C will already be surpassed in the year 2100 – even without any further CO2 emissions. And yes, the tail ef

I mean that's just straight-up asking for the purpose of life: You can't possibly give a rational logical answer. It's (quite beautifully in my opinion) one of those questions that everybody can only answer for themselves.

The anxiety we are talking about here is exactly the kind of anxiety you _don't_ want. If there was no vaccine in the short/midterm future people would probably (and somewhat rationally) assume that everybody (or rather 60%) will

It's not recommended for me in my country (Germany) to take the seasonal flu shot, because I'm not over 60. I suppose it might be similar in other countries.

Sure that's possible and you are well within your rights to choose this path of action. But – excuse me for putting this bluntly – it is obviously very selfish. If everybody calculated their risk like you do, the result would be that t

As far as I can tell this is currently unknown, it has not been studied. My complete layman understanding would be that it should at least somewhat prevent the spreading because replication has to be limited if a vaccine works and replicati

Sure, the flu _might_ theoretically have a long-term positive influence. However it might just as well have a long-term negative influence. Viral infections are known to have negative long-term consequences sometimes.
