Is this being done in other places close to nuclear plants? The article just mentions that there are allegations of security standards not being followed but who was making the accusations and why?

And why are the Baltic states pulling out of the Belorussian energy network?

I find the article pretty sparse on details.

While I am posting this, i disagree with its conclusion.
A seperate repo for your config is neither the only solution, nor is a particularly comprehensive one.

For one, your deployment scripts,
and other things that can escape the container, are almost certainly using Secrets. E.g. secured enviroment variables.
Your CI server should be configured to only share those Secrets with PRs coming from trusted branches.

*Otherwise they can simply `println(DEPLOY_KEY)` even if the CI config is on another branch*; unless you also don't show the logs etc.

TravisCI for example only trusts PRs from your own repo. It doesn’t give secrets to PRs from forks.
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/pull-requests/#pull-requests...

---

I feel like it is a thing to not use the CI configuration of the branch, but to always use the CI configuration of master/main.
At least for untrusted branches.
This ensures that someone has code-reviewed the CI config before it runs.
(Still doesn’t help with malicious tests though, but nor does a seperate repo. But see above re: secrets that allow escaping container)

I thought this was the default for TravisCI but it seems not.
You can turn it on though, it is the same mechanism as for a seperate repo.

Here in The Netherlands there's a law that you should be able to cancel the same way you signed up. Signed up through a web form? Should be able to cancel through one. If they don't offer it, the closest alternative is valid. Just send them an e-mail with the relevant information and you've legally canceled. Doesn't matter whether they like it, accept it or respond to it, the subscription is void. If they keep collecting money, just reverse the charges. They'll have to sue to actually get your money, which they'll never do, because their lawyers aren't stupid and know that they'll lose (it has actually happened).

It wouldn't surprise me if this actually originated as an EU regulation instead of national law.
The main problem I see is ownership.

If you don't really own your company, you won't ever behave as if you owned it.

It's basically a less rigid version of a big corp job, not more, not less. Which isn't bad, big corps have to rejuvenate themselves in some way, but selling it people as a "win-win" because they get to work in a big corp AND do a startup is a simply a lie.
> At least compared to the major European and Asian countries in which I've traveled or lived in, credit card and bank/debit card offerings in the US are extremely generous in benefits, rewards, fees, etc.

That's true in my experience. It's hard to find a card that doesn't charge ridiculous fees for foreign transactions (even in local currency), for example.

There's the other side of the medal though. Which is that somebody is going to pay for this generosity by the card companies.

Either merchants pay ludicrous fees, which are severely capped in Europe. Or card companies outright rip off the less fortunate members of society by usurious interest rates and fees. Fees, which may be outright criminal[1] if charged in some of the European countries.

[1] That's not hyperbole. For example: Interest rates in Switzerland are capped at 15% annually. If you charge more than that for a loan it's usury, which is part of the criminal code.
To be precise - Apple was stuck on the last GPL 2 version of bash and finally gave up and moved to zsh which doesn’t have the GPL 3 license but is bash compatible and they can keep it updated.

Apple really doesn’t like GPL 3.
Does DoH help with this?
I wish I was surprised to see this.
I just have both installed. Fish for interacting and bash for scripting.
I subscribed last year via the app, so the subscription and payments were handled by Apple. When the NYT jacked up the price, it was quite straightforward to unsubscribe. I had heard horror stories like this before, so I'm glad I did it through Apple.

(It wasn't completely straightforward. I did have to search for how to do it -- I wouldn't have found the option otherwise!)
Read his own words. One tweet [1] is still up about how Israelis “like to build” (settlements) while Arabs like to “bomb and live in sewage”. For your own information, the context is regarding the settlements that Israelis like to build in Palestinian territory. The Palestinian area is depopulated by uzi-wielding settlers and military bulldozers. All countries of the world (including the US) consider these settlements a violation of human rights and international laws. What’s more racist than that?

I did a trip to NY last year, exactly 10 years after my first. What struck me is how little things have changed, I had the feeling a lot of infrastructures are outdated, comparing to other places I've lived or been (Europe, China, East Asia). I didn't have a sense of modernity at all.
It's just my personal observation, but I wonder if others share this view?

There are 2 kinds of heritages from the ancient people from which one is supposed to descend.

One is the genetic heritage, i.e. DNA. If you or your ancestors lived in some place, you may suppose that you might have inherited some of the genes of the ancient people who lived there one thousand years earlier or four thousand years earlier.

It is true that most people who claim to be descendants of some ancient people believe that their relationship with the ancients is such a blood kinship.

You are right that such a belief is mostly false, so many Greeks might share little genetic material with the Ancient Greeks and someone who considers himself/herself, e.g. Polish or Romanian, might happen to have more genetic heritage from some very different people, e.g. from Tatars or Germans.

On the other hand, there is the cultural heritage, i.e. the maternal language and a myriad of customs transmitted from parents to children.

If you consider yourself to belong to some nationality, you might not know that 10 generations earlier your ancestors were considered to belong to another nationality, possibly even to one that you now strongly dislike for some reason.

Nevertheless, some of your ancestors have chosen at some point in time to be integrated into the nationality that you believe now as yours, for various reasons, e.g. marriage, immigration, being a prisoner of war and so on.

From that point of time, all your ancestors transmitted to their descendants the language and customs of your current nationality, which is the result of their willing or unwilling choice.

In my opinion it is correct to claim to be descendant of some people who lived thousands of years ago, when you speak a language derived from their language and you also practice various of their customs, even when (which is likely to be the most frequent case) you share little or no DNA with them.

So it is right for the Modern Greeks to consider themselves descendants of the Ancient Greeks, or for the Romanians, who speak a language derived from Latin, and who, for example, have always cooked and eaten "placinta" with cheese made in the same way as the "placenta" described by Cato the Elder almost 2200 years ago, to consider themselves descendants of the Ancient Romans.

Of course, any such shared cultural heritage with some ancient people should not be used as a basis for claims on a supposed material heritage, like in the case of Israel and other countries where there are territorial claims based on land ownership of supposed relatives from, e.g., 3000 years ago.
Ah, OK, that's v. different to UK then.

Here everyone doing a Physics/Maths/Engineering degree will have A Level Mathematics qualification and a Physics A Level qualification. In the pure Maths part, it covers integration and differentiation (inc. of trigonometric functions, log, exp and by parts), vectors, and 1st order ODEs as a minimum. There is also mechanics though depending on the school you study at, this did not used to be compulsory (you could choose to do Statistics instead).

In Physics A Level, it covers general physics topics - using SUVAT equations for e.g., electric circuits, radiation, some very basic QM like photoelectric effect. Knowing calculus is not a requirement for that qualification as it's designed to be independent from Mathematics A Level (at one point you had to take it as well to study Physics, but declinining numbers of students caused them to stop that), but to study most STEM subjects at University you do need both qualifications.

Around 50% going on to study for one of these degree courses will go beyond this and will have studied for an A Level in Further Maths. In this you do second order ODEs, complex numbers, matrices, conic sections, and more mechanics. In the Universities I've taught/studied at, the entirety of these Further Maths topics is usually covered in a 1st year + 1st semester course before going on to do harder stuff beyond that.

So from that mathematical background, everything numerical methods-like assumes you already have that knowledge almost from the beginning at University.

Very overrated, imo.

When I was a kid my dad would take me to the office where I'd play on actual IBM PCs (we had a clone at home) and I loved the mechanical keyboards, although I didn't dislike the non-mechanical one at home.

As I got older I pined for a mechanical keyboard. Then I discovered that other people missed them too. Then they started making them again.

I've tried them a number of times. They are a novelty that satisfies nostalgia for a few minutes.

Then I try to do some actual work on one and realize that they are annoying and loud, and the keys require way too much force and travel.

I'll take any generic, modern, low-profile, laptop-style keyboard. They're just so much easier to type on.

While I share your hesitation here, I think two points are important to keep in mind:

1. There is quite a difference between compulsory auditing (what the post you reply to refers to) and the government directly controlling industry.

2. In other industries this is quite commonplace and hasn't led to government takeover of industries (banking comes to mind. In their regulatory implementation on the Basel III accords developed in response to the 2008 financial crisis, both the UK and EU mandate government audits to ensure compliance with stress-testing and and leverage requirements; the US is also a signatory to these accords, but I am less familiar with their implementation into US law).

I'm not personally a huge fan of this approach, but I don't find the argument that government oversight is a slippery slope to totalitarianism that persuasive. In my opinion, a much a stronger critique of mandatory government audits is that they are often not that effective at preventing the negative outcomes they set out to prevent but still massively increase the legal complexity of operating in (or entering) a given industry without falling afoul of the law.

As usual, then just as now, the devil is in the details. If you garner enough support and do it in a far enough place from where most of your economic and political interests lie, then you're pretty much safe with waging decades of war or get away with genocide.

King Leopold II of Belgium got away with killing 10 million Africans right around the period mentioned (1865-1909) with barely a mention then or now. And the US has been waging war in the Middle East under one pretext or another for several decades now without being pushed into isolation.

Citation needed. Why don't people understand that the GIEC and UNSCEAR are essentially the same, except that the GIEC have one of their group focused on making politic statements (not the group i like the most, obviously). But if you trust the GIEC documentation and agregation, why not trust UNSCEAR's? I mean, you don't get to cherry pick science. If you're not a climate/radionuclear scientist, you should either distrust both UNSCEAR or GIEC, or trust both.

Not GIEC Group3, they mostly heed scientific advice hopefully, but they are different.

The shortage of electricity was primarily caused by thermal power plants (nuclear, coal, gas, etc). However, the increased demand for electricity was primarily caused by electric heating. Heating is the Ahilles heel of renewables.

Solar and wind produce electricity directly. Burning wood pellets is worse than gas. There are no good choices here, beyond storing excess production in some sort of heat storage facility. If there was a place for small scale nuclear then this would be it. The waste heat could be leveraged for district heating.

It's not ignorant, otherwise it would have been prohibited by Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, among others probably. This video is telling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io2a4SOX22Y

If you want to build and prosper, you can find investors willing to put money into your project or business. Lending money is not the only way to prosperity, as evident by how we had an entire empire (the Islamic Empire) that prospered and was at the forefront of many fields, yet did not deal with interest.

People simply want the easy way out, and lending with interest is the easy way out in this case. It's intellectually lazy, and has caused destruction time and time again throughout history. But people turn a blind eye because of the relative few who stand to benefit greatly from interest, at the expense of everyone else.

How do you feel about the government being able to print money at will and devalue the dollars or euros you worked hard for? You can thank interest for that.

Lithunia was operating a twin RBMK-1500 (Chernobyl-type) plant just 140 km from the site of the new Generation III+ VVER-1200 plant in Belarus which is magnitudes safer.

The majority of Lithuanians opposed shutting down their own plant in Ignalina which was done on request of the European Union. I think it was even a requirement for their EU membership.

And now just a decade later, the same people are worried about the safety of a far more modern and safer plant as the one that they refused to shut down just 140 km away?

Not very credible at all.

Lithuania is just upset because they invested a lot into natural gas plants and now Belarus is competing with zero-emission electricity from a Generation III+ plant they would love to have themselves.
That power plant has a LOT of human error, from the news, it appears they made many mistake while building the power plant ( breaking stuff, pouring concrete in the wrong way, ... ) and they did try to hide it. And many incidents after turning the power plant on.

I also think that Nuclear plants are safe, but only when constructed and operated properly, and this doesn't seems the case.

> Perhaps Corp-Tech should move to employee share buy back where employees must sacrifice some of their salary for equity or change equity to vest by a product related metric to connect the teams performance with the employee returns.

This doesn’t work all that well in my experience.

Employees focus in the stock which is not in line with the success of the product.

ESPPs aren’t bad. They’re seen as a bonus by most employees and some get excited watching the stock climb. Some may try to use that as a motivator.

But it’s more like watching your favorite team on TV that you’ve bet on with no control. That doesn’t inspire the right behavior.

Vesting stock based on some product metric would still be hindered by the futility of attempting to tie stock price to the actual success of the product.
Ask yourself this, would your "startup within a big company" have managed to lure Mark Zuckerberg or Larry Page to join them instead of founding their own companies? And even more important, would it even let such people have lead a significant part of the company in order to realize their ideas?

If you answer no to either of those, there is your answer to why your "startup within a company" can't hit it as big as real startups.

The pandemic made me realize how much newspapers have impact on people opinions. If they keep telling a vaccine in unsafe, a big part of their readers will believe the vaccine is unsafe.
