Everyone in the U.S. 6 months or older is now eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorized the shots in June for very young children, from 6 months to 5 years old. They’re the last age demographic in the U.S. to become eligible to get vaccinated during the pandemic.
Despite the regulatory green light, many parents of young children are wondering whether it’s even necessary to get their kids vaccinated at this point in the pandemic, since infections have become so common and, in general, the virus causes relatively mild symptoms in most kids.
But while studies that follow kids for longer periods of time are ongoing, the current evidence points to more benefits …
When high-end car enthusiasts and collectors gathered for the U.S.’s swankiest car show in Monterey, Calif., last week, there was an unusual addition to the typical lineup of classic coupes and trucks. On the outside, the vehicle, an electric-blue early 1990s-era Porsche 911 sports car, wouldn’t stand out in these surroundings—it was far from being the rarest or most expensive vehicle zipping down 17 Mile Drive that week. But look under engine cover at the back of the 911 and you would find something exceedingly incongruous: the batteries, power electronics, and electric motors of an electric vehicle where a gasoline motor should be.
The idea of converting gasoline-powered cars into electric vehicles (EVs) is nothing new. The modern EV movement, to a large extent, was born …

China’s fast growth in intellectual property has led to accusations by U.S. President Donald Trump that it has stolen American ideas, but the head of the U.N. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) said it was hard to tell.“The reality is a new competitor has arrived,” WIPO Director General Francis Gurry told a news conference in Geneva.
“We will just observe what occurs now but I would say that the commercial, economic and geopolitical reality that we must take cognizance of is that China has arrived as a major technological competitor.”At current rates China will overtake the United States to become the biggest source of international patent applications in the WIPO system within three years, WIPO said.The top filers of patent applications at WIPO in 2017 were…
The Hyères debate, exciting though it was, wasn’t altogether reassuring, because the road towards fencing in this disruptive new technology is looking tortuous. The EU is in the process of passing new legislation in this area, the IA Act, which was approved on first reading by the European Parliament in June 2023, and is set to become the world’s first law of its kind. It was proposed by the European Commission, and is currently in the final stages of discussion between the EU Council and Parliament, with a view to reaching a common position. “[The IA Act] is a harmonisation effort, it contains a set of rules that must be harmonised at EU level to ensure that artificial intelligence technologies are safe, that they are consistent with European values, and that they can also foste…
France offered in January to suspend until the end of the year instalments of its tax on big digital companies’ income in France while an international deal to re-write the rules of cross-border taxation was negotiated this year.”Never has a digital tax been more legitimate and more necessary,” Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told journalists on a conference call, adding such companies were doing better than most during the coronavirus crisis.
Nearly 140 countries are negotiating the first major rewriting of international tax rules in more than a generation, to take better account of the rise of big tech companies that often book profit in low-tax countries.However, the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak has left finance ministries more focused on saving their economies than ov…
On Tuesday, Gucci-owner Kering SA said third-quarter sales excluding currency movements and mergers and acquisitions fell 9%, worse than the 6% decline expected by analysts. That’s in stark contrast with Hermes International SCA, which beat estimates and said it saw no signs of demand waning among its well-heeled clientele in any of its markets. In the same vein, last week billionaire-favorite Brunello Cucinelli SpA upgraded its revenue forecast for the third time this year.The dichotomy can be explained by sharply different customer bases.
Confidence has crumbled among the simply affluent in the US and in Europe. Meanwhile, the uber-wealthy have continued to spend. That’s corresponded with a shift in fashion trends from ostentation to more refined elegance. Hermes and ca…
Every day, 3,000 pounds (some 1,350 kilos) of scraps arrive at the group’s massive warehouse in Brooklyn — part of a huge complex that used to belong to the US Army, according to Fabscrap founder Jessica Schreiber.The organization has established partnerships with about 250 ready-to-wear labels and several haute couture houses — and the waste they collect is representative of that variety.
You see everything in the warehouse piles: from luxury pieces by the likes of Oscar de la Renta or Marc Jacobs, to mainstream retail labels like J.Crew, to scraps from the workshops of up-and-coming designers.Last year, Fabscrap picked up a total of 150,000 pounds of fabric.But Schreiber says there is a wide potential to do more, as that number only accounts for a third of the textile waste ge…
“Fashion is a seasonal industry, and certain dates are not compressible.
