The gathering wraps up tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you like to eat (or care about social stability) take some time to play around with this <\/strong><strong>gadget: <\/strong>There is an enormous disparity in the affordability of meat for people globally. Egypt, for example, has one of the most affordable meat prices in the world when we look at just sticker prices, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caterwings.co.uk\/caterers\/2017-meat-price-index-usd\/\">according to Caterwings 2017 Meat Price Index<\/a>. On the 52-country index, <strong>Egypt is the fifth-cheapest on average<\/strong>. Ukraine is the cheapest overall, whereas Switzerland has the most expensive meat prices in USD terms. The Meat Price Index is divided into five separate categories: beef, chicken, seafood, pork, and lamb. All prices were collected from national grocery outlets at full price without discount<strong>. <\/strong>There are some caveats to the report: <strong>While the sticker price of beef in Omm El Donia is among the cheapest in the world, for example, it would take an Egyptian working on minimum wage 20.1 hours in order to be able to afford a 1kg piece of beef<\/strong> \u2014 the fifth longest in the world. The same goes for chicken, where Egyptians have to work the third-longest number of hours in order to be able to afford chicken. The situation is even more challenging with seafood, where it takes an Egyptian working for minimum wage 44.2 hours, the longest number of working hours in the ranking, to be able to afford 1kg. In contrast, it takes a person working on minimum wage in Switzerland, where the sticker prices are most expensive, just 3.1 hours to be able to afford 1kg of beef and in Norway just 1.3 hours to afford a 1kg piece of fish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s a list we\u2019re not proud to top:<\/strong> Egypt was the origin of the greatest number of unique IP addresses used in volumetric DDoS attacks in 2Q2017, with 32% of the global total, according to cloud delivery provider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akamai.com\/\">Akamai\u2019<\/a>s quarterly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akamai.com\/uk\/en\/multimedia\/documents\/state-of-the-internet\/q2-2017-state-of-the-internet-security-report.pdf\">State of the Internet\/Security Report (pdf)<\/a>.
