This! People need to get a life. I wouldn't have any trouble keeping myself busy after retirement. I do not have nearly enough time for the things I really WANT to do beside work.
This is a great idea but I'm not sure it will work out.
Numbers are touched up all the time, both in politics (e.g. few governments will admit to lowering the employment rate, if things are not working, usually a new way of counting the unemployed is introduced) and in large companies (managers who report "everything's fine" up the chain until it's too late).
Applied to your idea, donors will have to come up with KPIs to meet. Whatever the situation, the KPIs will magically look good. And if there are no KPIs, nobody will dare take the job.
> "Interns get a lot of experience," says Ahmad Fawzi, head of the UN's information service in Geneva. "First-hand knowledge about how the international system works: it's invaluable for them, and they have fun."
(while not paying your interns) to Article 23 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
> (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
In an age where everybody talks about cloud infrastructure, I find it a very interesting decision to spend $30k on servers up front.
Apart from reducing operating costs, I never thought about servers as assets. Essentially, using things like AWS for operations makes the money go away as soon as it's spent. That's a very real risk if you're striving for a sustainable business that doesn't run on ads and you don't yet know where this is going.
You get sent an OTP that expires after half an hour. So in order to attack someone, you need to gain access to your victim's e-mail account beforehand. Which is quite hard if if the victim has MFA activated.
If you gain access to your victim's e-mail account, even if you find any passwords in there, you cannot use any of them because they are not working anymore.
So it's not only a stronger, non-recycled password. It's:
1. an OTP
2. that expires very soon
3. that cannot be recycled
4. in a place that's likely to be well-protected
EDIT: 5. that place (#4) is in widespread use
This is beyond a "password manager" which barely covers #3 (it incentivizes not to recycle) – and maybe #4, if you're careful.
I'm surprised no one brought up the bigger picture of which types of education Germans pay for and which they don't.
While going to university has been free for a long time in Germany (and will be again according to this article), German parents pay for kindergarten and day care.
In most countries, it's the other way around and I'd gladly pay for my kids to go to university than pay for the much more basic education before primary school. I paid up to 500 Euros a months for my son's kindergarten. (This is is maximum amount, but that's another story...)
This is why I don't get that students were so eager to demonstrate against the introduction of tuition, claiming education is then reserved for rich people. The same argument could be brought up against payments for day care, but no one will acknowledge that. (I guess this is because students are willing to plan for family after the degree.)
Reversing this situation would result in better integration of kids from families with immigrant background which is a far better goal than to make higher education more accessible, regardless of money.
> None of these women had children or had to worry about pay discrepancies.
Every woman has to worry about pay discrepancies. In every industry, at every job level. That's what this whole "gender pay gap" is all about, you know?
