If (western) governments had chosen to prevent the epidemic, apps would have helped, but they decided to let the virus spread, just slowly enough. Also (western) journalists love stories about 3M deaths, surveillance apps or fake news, much

"due to the way they calculate their payouts": yes, I'm sure that's the real issue, but the solution isn't a penny per stream. The solution is definitely to redistribute money according to what people listen to, but

I can never understand why enforcing (sane and secure) TLS and adding a (shared) secret request header isn't the usual simple answer. As far as I know, TLS prevents all these security issues, except authentication of the webhook caller

I have the impression something is making the numbers not comparable: we humans eat soy beans but the rest of the plant is fed to animals. So I don't see how we can conclude anything about surface (deforestation). Maybe soy demand is d

An important part of palm oil is burnt in western cars to provide a "green alternative" to oil. How ironic? Plantations have grown as a consequence... Also palm oil feeds many families in SE Asia. Boycott is not a solution.

How can the vaccine prevent entry of the virus in cells, yet the virus can still replicate? I can’t understand why they state we don’t know, because of how I image viruses and vaccination works. Can someone help me understand this paradox?

Herd immunity is backwards... You can say "hey, look, the epidemic has died because of herd immunity", but you can't reasonably desire herd immunity if you can avoid it. Think of Ebola and herd immunity for more that a second

I'll be glad if we get a vaccine. If we don't, we must fight it nonetheless. In 2003, we stopped the SRAS epidemic, another coronavirus. We stopped it. There's no vaccine yet. The 2015 MERS isn't completely extinct but i
