> but it's a privacy nightmare.

I've gone the other way from Denmark to UK. And I've often had to mail copies of my passport or other identity documents via email. And my bank requires me to regular scan my face to check that it aligns with the picture in my passport.

It has really been a great success in Denmark.

In the 1960s, more than 900 people were diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, corresponding to more than 40 cases per 100,000 Danes.

Today, that number is below 10 per 100,000 nationwide – and among women aged 20 to 29, only 3 out of 100,000 are affected. This is below the WHO’s threshold for elimination of the disease.

Yes, a transitional technology for the _Java Language/Platform_ post Loom. He never said anything about Functional Reactive Programming in general.

I saw this comment the other day on Reddit, and I think it sums up the current state pretty well.
