Generally a lot of the formalism of Algebra requires specific brain development milestones dealing with abstraction to be reached. That’s why it is taught at the end of middle school. Now could some concepts be introduced earlier? Yes a

Correct google keeps two separate cookies one for ads and one for everything else. This was part of the agreement with the FTC when they bought Double Click. They are prohibited from joining those two cookies by that agreement.

The scale is so different that it’s not really the same thing. It’s like comparing a mortar to an orbital bombardment with rail-guns. Yes both involve sending a projectile at a target at high speed but they aren’t remotely similar.

GDPR fines are up to 4% of global revenue . Do you honestly believe that Google is willing to risk literally Billions of dollars to hold on to your data? It just plain is not worth it so few people ever ask for data to be deleted it costs

From the article it sounds like most of the harm of false positives from the MRI is the extra stress of the biopsy and/or waiting for biopsy results. As such it feels rational to try to treat the stress/anxiety with well know met

The lack of a manual feels like a red herring only a small fraction of user actually reads the manual. And among those that do they read it to find a specific thing (like wifi) not to understand the product as a whole.

I like the random color/giant emoji idea. The major downside I see is space on the tag and all the current printers are black and white so they all need to be replaced for this to be effective.
