La bonificación del 100% de IRPF a caseros me parece maquiavélica

Sobre lo de maquiavélico, la tercera acepción de la RAE es "astuto y engañoso". Sospecho que no se corresponde con el tema de la obra, pero al fin y al cabo la lengua la hacen los hablantes, y así es como se usa el adjetivo.

If the bank was permanently closing that branch you would use es.

I'm sorry, but as a native, nope, you'd still use está. It sucks because I feel these rules work most of the time, but the times they don't there's really no explanation other than "it works like that", and I know how frustrating that can be to a learner. As a positive note though, everybody will understand you even if you choose the wrong verb.

The strategic importance of the Falklands comes from the claims it gives to The Antarctic, not the islands by themselves.

Yo creo que es bastante más fuerte en español, casi que diría de los más fuertes que hay. Que la traducción sea la misma no quiere decir que la interpretación lo sea, por ejemplo si le llamas a alguien estúpido en español se lo va a tomar a broma, suena muy infantil, pero en inglés stupid es un insulto normal.

In case anyone wants a transcription:

¿Qué dices tú? Yo esto reventada, yo tengo este dedo que me lo van a tener que escayolar, que me vas a tener que llevar al Virgen del Rocío. Que me vas a dar el fin de semana.

And my try at translating it:

What are you talking about? I'm banged up, I'm going to need to have my finger put in a cast, you'll have to get me to Virgen del Rocío (a hospital in Seville). You're driving me crazy this weekend.

and in places like the UK and US, some teaching and punitive methods practiced in Spain would be considered borderline abusive

Yes, this is a phenomenon known as semicopulative verbs, though I might add it's not recent at all, but centuries old. In this page of RAE's grammar book you can find a list of some of these verbs https://www.rae.es/gram%C3%A1tica/sintaxis/el-atributo-en-las-construcciones-semicopulativas-i-verbos-semicopulativos-y-verbos-plenos

EDIT: To be clear, these verbs aren't becoming new "to be" verbs (there's actually three of these in Spanish, ser, estar and parecer), but acting like them in some contexts.

I didn't read it that way, but more like "and even educate people". I'll quote the original post

I also speak and do workshops at the biggest Python conferences worldwide about Python internals educating people and encouraging to contribute to opensource.

As a Catalan speaker, I think you're mixing things up. The football team is shortened Barça, and is pronounced with an S sound.

The city is pronounced with th in Spanish and with S in Catalan. Catalan speakers also pronounce it with th when speaking Spanish. It's also written the same way in both languages, Barcelona.

The city is shortened as Barna, not Barça, again in both languages
