I was gonna go with banning all UK regulators.

What’s “Meta”? Is that like a clothing brand or something?

/s

I don’t see it. Like the guy in the article said, it starts out looking like a joke . . . Buuuut it ain’t.

Woke computer nerds fucked us

Edit: just to reassure the more anxious amongst us, I mean ‘woke’ in the maga sense of anything-i-don’t-like-is-woke. Not actually woke.

Actually woke computer nerds observe proper security protocols ffs.

I’m sure that will be an excuse but no, this was lazy-ass we-dont-wanna incompetent garbage devs.

Government contractors were a mistake

Mmmmm . . Nnno, i don’t have that one. Oh - there’s a “Ghyynah”, is that it?

All going to plan, comrade

Sorry, I hear ya. You are so not the only one either. Hang in there. Hey - this place may have some open positions soon?

Valadon’s company constantly scans public code repositories at GitHub and elsewhere for exposed secrets, automatically alerting the offending accounts of any apparent sensitive data exposures. Valadon said he reached out because the owner in this case wasn’t responding and the information exposed was highly sensitive.

But wait

Valadon said the exposed CISA credentials represent a textbook example of poor security hygiene, noting that the commit logs in the offending GitHub account show that the CISA administrator disabled the default setting in GitHub that blocks users from publishing SSH keys or other secrets in public code repositories.

“Passwords stored in plain text in a csv, backups in git, explicit commands to disable GitHub secrets detection feature,” Valadon wrote in an email. “I honestly believed that it was all fake before analyzing the content deeper. This is indeed the worst leak that I’ve witnessed in my career. It is obviously an individual’s mistake, but I believe that it might reveal internal practices.”

One of the exposed files, titled “importantAWStokens,” included the administrative credentials to three Amazon AWS GovCloud servers.

This is shameful incompetence. Just head-rolling abysmal incompetence. These are the people they hired, for all you 1337 hax0rz currently looking.

Of course they “have an answer to EVs”. It’s to crush them or make them so outrageously expensive only the very wealthy will afford them.

And you know why? Because that’s how we voted.

Meta workers privacy invaded.

I’d take that bet you’re gonna regret 'cause I’m the oldest there’s ever been

Everything has trade-offs.

No shit?

Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.

Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs. And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea.

Damn you’re full of useful information.

Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.

Instructable? Cool. That’s a thing nuclear designs should be.

A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.

We actually agree on that but your nuclear blathering takes too long. You got a 10’ x 10’ reactor for Hudson Bay then kudos, NOW can we get renewables set up OH AND a distribution network for our friends too far north or south to benefit from 12 hours of sun a day like in Norway o wait

Do… do you think that “Hiroshima” was a nuclear power plant that “accidentally exploded”, as opposed to a purpose built weapon?

JFC

Seems like you were literally the one propagandized. Only people who are misinformed are so against nuclear.

Good luck after graduation.

Nice list, but what you’ve demonstrated is that you in fact don’t understand. You’ve listed out just about every nuclear incident in history.

YOU don’t understand these are just the ones we know about.

If you had bothered to read the links you posted

If you had bothered to read the post you’re supposedly responding to instead of talking shit on automatic you might have addressed that. But you didn’t. Because you have zero interest in actual discussion.

This is the sound of me hanging up.
*boop*

So you see how it’s bad, unless we’re talking about humans literally dying as a result.

Yay? Am I supposed to give nuclear a point because “only” the environment and animal life was trashed? Okay, sure. “Less Deadly To Humans” than oil. Y’know people still eat Gulf seafood, but if that pipe was spewing radioactive waste for a month, they wouldn’t.

Actually, they probably would. I dunno. Renewables. That’s all.

Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

See above. None were worse than Hiroshima - at least as far as we can determine.

I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

? Okay? Fuck you too, I guess?

I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?

So you were heavily propagandized as a child. Makes sense. The reasons why nuclear and coal plants are different are many and varied! For more information, consult your local library.

do you?

Yeah, I do.

Transparency

China doesn’t deliver much useful information about the incidents of its fast growing fleet of nuclear power plants. The same problem exists with Russia, after Glasnost -transparency again under Vladimir Putin.

This is such a bizarre qualifier. Like when people handwave climate change because the rocks will still be here.
