I think the test makes assumptions about the averages from real humans, but I would not make the leap from there to “it does that,” because what humans? From where? At what point in time? What exactly do you mean by, for example, regulation

startpage.com, IIRC, uses google results. You're better off with something else if you're looking for non-googly results (I do not have any suggestions)

My daughter went to a Montessori until she was in 2nd grade. Her friend went through 5th grade. They are both together again in 6th, in the same middle school, and her friend is really struggling with math. FWIW, my daughter also struggled

Right, but the identity providers being government owned exacerbates the problem I'm talking about. I don't personally care if Joe the random person has access to an anonymous account*, but I do care if Joe the Russian dissident—w
