> Second, there may be something where impoverished nations suffer less because their immunity maybe is stronger. I need to do some digging to see if there's some correlation at the very least.

Pease name these interventions. How big is the share of European schools that have the capacity to follow these best practices? In Germany for example, there is a teacher shortage.

This seems like a good idea and it carves out exceptions for foreigners who are residents. I presume this puts pressure on other countries to do the same, since investors are looking for other opportunities.

Because 14% of the world's population speaks Mandarin Chinese. But what about Yoruba, Burmese or even Hakka Chinese?

> it can only be dealt with when that student is willing to share what is wrong

And "dealing with it" can make the students situation worse in some cases

There is notation software that can import MIDI, such as Musescore or Lilypond (both free)

Or they figured out that the work that they put in isn't doing anything for themselves, regardless of how much money they get.

> For Marx, the possibility that one may give up ownership of one's own labour – one's capacity to transform the world – is tantamount to being alienated from one's own nature and it is a spiritual loss.

Canaries exist, because you cannot talk about the reasons for their removal. You just remove them.

"Apartment for rent (min. age 35)"

And having some wastage is much better than not having enough food

I agree with the notion that technology should be used appropriately, but the issue seems to be corruption and that people buy into hypes and misallocate technology, not that the technology itself is useless. I am sure that some corrupt officials manage to overpay for sand in Sahara.

Which private payment methods does Kagi allow as a self-proclaimed "100% privacy-respecting search engine"?

> It's that it's not worse. Bing and DuckDuckGo are worse than google. I tried to switch to DDG many times, but fell back to google at least 1/3 of the time.

I've been using DDG happily for years and only fell back to Google at most 5 times during the last two years and I think half of the times it wasn't even useful to me.

Maybe it is the way how I write queries?

Nowadays I find Google's result page just confusing, so I disagree with calling Google better.

Even on planet Earth many places are not arable:

While no wheat or potatoes, 200 varieties, including eggplant and squashes, in aeroponic grow towers under the sun:

> Vertical farms don't make sense, and never will, except as a curiosity/novelty/luxury product.

If you rely on cheap energy, then yes. If you grow under the sun, vertical systems and hydro-/aeroponics still make a lot of sense, IMO.

Check what these guys are growing under the sun in grow towers:

I think this would be impossible to reproduce with traditional horizontal farming.

The EU will require manufacturers to enables sideloading, which will finally make powerful ad- / tracking-blockers on iOS possible. Also, they will require that everyone can easily change batteries. Even if that does not mean that a battery can easily removed temporarily, it probably also makes it easier to install custom hardware switches that turn off the phone entirely.

Personally, I think that the tracking hype has seen its peak.

> and I'd bet that most people for most purchases would not want to gain privacy at the cost of losing the ability to charge back wrongful payments.

I'll bet that many customers would appreciate if they could decide if they want one or the other, instead of the shop owner just deciding against their privacy.

> Again, I think the harm of mandating backdoors far outweighs the benefit, but imagine your job is to make sure people aren't organizing mass terror attacks. I think you can take a look at the above environment and get a little worried, in a way you wouldn't be about people just whispering to each other in-person. When we say "no backdoors," we are truly making a tradeoff.

I don't see the tradeoff, but just a very bad trade. Those who organize mass terror attacks will just find ways to evade the surveillance, while the masses will have lost their privacy.

On top of that, terrorists could also benefit from a general lack of privacy. Recently the CCC found a device on ebay that contains biometric details of Afghans. Conveniently, the Taliban already has compatible devices that the U.S. military left in Afghanistan. The entire population of Afghanistan was biometrically catalogued without ensuring that the data, as well as the devices cannot be abused by Terrorists.

The population has lost their privacy and on top of that, the Taliban now has tools that allow them to terrorize the population more efficiently.

You can't just decide for the rest of the world what it important and what is unimportant.

I mean, many people tried, but the outcome is typically devastating.

Switzerland (I was as surprised as you are).

As far as I know, successful SEPA transactions are impossible to reverse. She was tricked during a weak moment into confirming via 2FA what she deemed a legit transaction, but as far as I can tell, she was on a fake banking website. The bank can claim willful negligence, which is hard (but maybe not impossible) to disprove.

> all that gives you is confidence that the message comes from someone authorized by that right/real person.

Which is good enough for many applications, I think. With friends and family, I am pretty confident, that none of them deploy a personal assistant to answer my encrypted messages. As opposed to a messenger where the service provider can inject ads into the messages.

How do I know that a person that I speak to IRL is really saying what they think or even really is who they claim to be if I don't know them well? A rest of uncertainty always remains.

I agree. Key management can be learned (but still has to be learned). I think that cryptocurrency made the biggest impact in this area so far.

Ford for example feels responsible for teaching drivers how to drive more safely:

Similarly, my bank provides information on best practices for avoiding phishing attacks.

I think every crypto wallet that is worth its bandwidth to download tries to educate users about the importance of keeping private keys secure.

So I know a victim of a phishing scam. She got tricked into confirming a transaction from her bank account. She called her bank minutes after it happened, but they told her that they are not able to reverse the transaction. However, according to them they are investigating if they can do something for her based on what they call "good will".
