I’ve had to do help a client in a similar position. We got contact with the domain registrar’s phone support, took over an hour, “proved” we were the legitimate owner of the domain with credit card details along with other personal information the registrar knew but was not public. They changed the recovery email of the domain account temporarily so we could login and get control back.

And the biometric check is still password based, right? You can't use Touch ID until you've entered your password, and then it's only a convenience for a given time.

There's a joke in Greenlandic, closely related to Inuktitut, about polysemy. The joke stems from Greenlandic having very little polysemy when it comes to hunting, nature, practicalities and activities, while European languages is quite a bit more polysemic in nature.

I don't know how well this joke translates into English but it works very well in Danish. Here it goes:

> A Danish police officer gets called on the radio by a Greenlandic hunter who has been in an accident. The hunter tells that his partner have fallen into the water and have been pulled up again but might have died from the freezing water. The officer tells the hunter to "make sure he is dead". Over the radio the officer hears a riffle shot and the hunter replies: "There, he's dead now for sure".

The design of Inuktitut and Greenlandic is very in tune with nature but I agree that it doesn't mean you can absorb it's qualities into other languages. That said, doesn't mean you can't learn anything from them, as the author fo the article claims.

Denmark is geographically a relatively small country, and it is not uncommon for children to travel alone across the country in dedicated trains[1] for the children during the weekends.

That said, its really not uncommon for other family members besides grandparents and even friends of the family to take care of your children in Denmark.

Most children have two parents. The few cases where both parents work in health care they most likely have immediate family and/or friends who are either public workers or private sector workers who can work from home.

I saw the Joe Rogan clip[1] and I agree that Michael Osterholm's analysis of this seems correct when it comes to the United States.

Denmark however has a completely different structure socially. All private sector employees who can work from home are urged to work from home. All public sector employees who are not working in any matter-of-life-and-death function are forced to stay at home. The public sector employees will still get paid despite not working. Practically this means very, very few cases of health care workers with children needs to be home supervising the children.
