You already pay a wealth tax. It's called property tax. Most people wealth (if any) is concentrated in the house or appartement they live in. And so the real wealth tax is already here.

7B for a service that just routes your output and that lacks some pretty basic features in their UI ? Feels a but too much. I am a user of the product, so I hope this leads to a better web experience.

Not to mention that they played games in the afternoon which isn't the best time for heat, and for a pure water break, 90 seconds is probably enough.

The issue is every federation - whether they never qualified for the world cup or won final(s) - gets one vote. This has become a big issue, with any proposal to give more money (even if that entails compromising on key principles) to federations (by making more money) is almost certain to pass because of very poor FAs that need it / want it desperately.

Yeah, they just rejected the proposal. Meanwhile, UEFA is boycotting the game until those plans are DEFINITELY abandoned. I am wondering whether UEFA could even ask for a change in FIFA statute to ensure it can never be proposed again.

In fact, China fertility rare went down no lower than 1.5 during the one-child policy. In 2024 however, it was 1.03 child/woman, and last year it sank to less than 1 child per woman.

But of course there are huge disparities between cities and rural areas.

Source ?

Were there any actual doctors in the researchers ? They should have their license immediately revoked for omitting side-effects, thus breaching their oath.But this is China, so I am not sure there will be accountability, unless this get even more attention.

I am baffled by Nature saying would this have been communicated during peer-review this would have been taken into consideration, but because this was discovered after it doesn't count anymore.

It's like a teacher saying if you get caught cheating during the exam you will be punished, but if it's after you can get "scott-free."

But the money was given directly to the researchers. And the article clearly mentionned that a commercial trial would have been given much more scrutiny, and therefore this was a way to bypass all of that.

Also, I am pretty sure this wouldn't have been allowed in the EU and the US, at least not with that few studies on animals. And with good reasons.

Also, you forget that the company probably also payed a lot for this, so it isn't like the total costs is limited to what was illegally paid to the researchers.

Just open-source it already then ?

You just need to keep the discs,not the console. if it's not retro-compatible then you aren't going to be able to play on the console because of architecte differenczs.

But the PS5 can play PS4 games, early PS3 could play PS2 games and so on. And Xbox is entirely retro-compatible because they used the same architecture.

I don't get this article. Physical medium are by design control-free. You will be forever be to watch any movie you buy in a DVD or Blu-Ray format.

That's not the case in digital format. Talking about pipe dreams about companies/government forcing companies to somehow allow digital key or more precisely accounts associated with keys to be maintained forever (or at least for the next 100 years) is a pipe dream. Physicam games are a way to ensure you still own your games.[1]

[1] A lot of caveats to what I said, mainly due to the fact that gaming consoles are now Internet-connected so the console-maker could technically revoke access to any game at any time if you connect it to the internet. Still, it would be a huge huge breach of trust, and as such very unlikely.

If ownership is reserved for the elite (essentially what you are saying here) then it's not a right, it's just a glitch in the system.
