Fascinating thread about what’s happening in Nepal and Ethiopia‘s transition to EVs and the geopolitical and energy politics involved.
The Nepalese EV transition.
In simple terms, brown on this graph is India's share and blue is China's share.
The trigger? India effectively halted all imports of petroleum into Nepal in 2015, an "undeclared blockade", which was "masked as constitutional concern".

I think it would be really positive to see bespoke assistive tech: transcription tools that work for folks with dyslexia might be diff to ones that work for ppl with ADHD. Different D/deaf people may have different requirements, depending on many factors. Think that is prob specialist research.

I really feel for these students and others being taught this way. It's disrespectful at best.
I can also see how under funding pressures, that this may have come about. That's not to excuse it but it should make us pause as to where to lay blame. This is a system problem rather than single course
