So lets say child protection made a casefile for an underage kid without child benefits? What did they use as their unique identifier before the NHS number?

I suspect most of this is because Anthropic paid top bug bounty hunters 7 figure salaries for creating better datasets and RLHF.

Maybe, but I suspect it was the schools with the most dregs which avoided the harsh disciplinary road of banning possession just to avoid trouble and for their perception of social justice. So kids in the good schools get a true mobile ban and the rest gets the dregs being disruptive and teachers scared to intervene because of fuzzy rules and no support from the top.

The NHS number is new, but they already got a NIN immediately when they got an early pension or child benefits regardless of age.

Of course before the NHS number kids also had database entries for whatever government creates cases for and they needed a unique identifier for those. In theory you could just use the parents NIN until a personal NIN is issued, but that's awkward and fragile. There's already an unique identifier they will issue eventually or immediately any way depending on circumstance ... maybe always just generate it immediately on birth registration and use that? It would be really convenient and affect really nothing of consequence except the feels of anglos, which you can protect by saying you didn't.

You call it paranoia, I call it common sense.

Even if every department does their own identity check based on historical paper chains, like they are supposed to in the UK, they still need something unique to cross reference when inevitably the need to cross reference arrives ... and look, the NIN is right there. So it becomes the universal identifier regardless of the revulsion anglo's feel for that.

As for issuance at birth, it's the same number used for child benefits and pension plans. I assume that's because they are generated at birth registry and not on request, because it makes a lot more sense. Why wouldn't you?

The old guidance had "not seen, not heard" as a possible policy in the guidance. Only the most recent guidance made forbidding possession the clear default, likely triggered by the opposition amendment.

Different ... and all tied back to NIN (or the "it's not a NIN" number before they hand it out officially at 16, in the database it's all the same).

They get a national insurance number when registered as born already ... but in true British fashion, they will probably just make a new number (and then tie it back to NIN any way, the one number to rule them all).

Autarky for the extreme necessities (fuel/fertiliser to keep farming and distribution going, steel, concrete, etc), sphere of influence trading for when that's not practical, global trade for luxuries only.

Of course to have a proper sphere of influence, you need to be a proper independent superpower.

The only thing the EU could do to mitigate it at this point is full military deployment ... to protect Iran.

It's not lack of ships and bombs for the US which makes it hard to finish this fast, so supporting Trump more does little except make Trump happier.

If Iran's Fajr-5 mine deploying missile system actually works (could just have been propaganda) they could shut down not just the strait, but also the Suez canal on their way down, for long enough to create the biggest clusterfuck since WW2.

Peanuts. Europe would have rebuild regardless, but they were tired and got suckered into a failed path of dependence ... by the US.

Before Trump, the US had been preaching globalism for a long time. Even though Trump destroyed the WTO, it was US which forced through the creation of GATT which became the WTO. Much as the EU in fact.

EU practises what the US preached ... they were indeed dumbfucks. Should have chased autarky from the start, which should have obviously included rejecting NATO from the very start. NATO was the original sin, defence dependence segued into energy dependence.

If you can get root there are no secrets for long, you can just midm the PIN entry too. If you can't get root you can't get to app specific storage.

I'm sure some governments will do a verifiable build, so for those you can just check the source code. The white label source code is available if you want a headstart.
