Be sure to price in general life risks like accidents, cancer, stress induced hearth attacks etc. The problem with this approach is, that a non zero number of people will not live long enough to buy their life back.

It basically boils down to: use as little third-party services/code as possible. Because vetting them is expensive and error prone (usually not enough insights to confidently judge). Prefer code over services.

Quite a complex approach, where most will be able to gain a lot with some very simple actions: - dont collect data you do not absolutely need to service the user - do not use third party libs or services, where you do not understand how the

Actually, for Germany, the head of the military is the Minister of Defence. Only if the parliament declares Germany to be in a situation of defence (Verteidigungsfall), will the command of the military be given to the Chancellor.
