Everything in life is a tradeoff. If you remember, vaccines were developed under enormous pressure and every day of delay meant literally tens of thousands of people dying across the world. So the uncertainties about these vaccines must be

When it comes to vaccines, you don't necessarily have to trust government institutions. If you are normal, adult, educated person you don't need to "trust" the government for everything. You should hopefully be able to t

The point isn't really to have a believable case. The point is to use legal system to ruin one person to scare any people from running similar actions against US government. US is loosing more and more of its standing when it comes to

Which is almost every company I have worked for for the past 20 years. Listen, these guys were very good, dedicated engineers. But to say they did this without public support is stupid, because they were paid for from public money in the fi

Because I ran distances from 5k to marathon (with 10k being my favourite) and so I know from my own experience. I have no knowledge of how you run a 1000k run.

I am not saying land is worthless. I am saying that owning land is no longer prerequisite for producing a lot. Two hundred years ago you had to own land to be "big", because most ways to produce anything required land to grow crop

Being an immigrant you are in a special position. In most countries people do have power to change things, if enough of them want to. There are some exceptions like China or various regimes. But even Chinese Communist Party is very scared t

No, the rules are pretty simple. The one who manages to first cross the finish line wins. Everybody knows the rules. The problem is it is not a very simple sport and there is some game theory involved. Riding as fast as possible is not the

The last time I paid attention to statistics, in Norway the migrants were a small minority of inhabitants but large majority of all crimes. As a note, the people who like to "do crime" for some reason are not willing to move up no

The trouble is that the times of land meaning anything are over. In today's world of intangible goods you can produce without owning any land. Why would multi-billion pharma company pay less taxes than a local farmer, because the land

Cancer is a hugely complex problem. It is not a single attack vector like a virus. But we are still making great progress on it, just think that the best vaccines for Covid came as fruit of cancer research.
