What are the security implications here? i.e. the Chrome team, post-Spectre, are assuming that any value in a process' memory is readable by any code executing within that process.

This blog post doesn't actually respond to the main security concern raised. "malicious-service-a.com" spoofing "service-a.com" is different than "eu.auth0.com" spoofing "au.auth0.com". In the se

Agreed. If crime is correlated with child poverty, and cheap rentals are old houses which haven't been renovated in a long time, and tend to have more lead paint. Then on average criminals will have higher blood lead levels. This doesn

In 2016 renewables in Germany produced 191TWh, up from 46TWh in 2003. The last reactors will shut down in Dec 2022. Over the next 5 years, renewables will increase more than the remaining 85TWh/yr of Nuclear generation. https:/&#

Fun fact. The US burns more coal per capita than Germany. Sure theres lots of cheap natgas, but Americans tend to use a lot more electricity. Aircon isn't the difference either, this only makes a small difference.

Yes the fight against coal is a challenging political battle in Germany. The social and political aspects are probably the most challenging. There is discussion happening at high levels in government, for example the State Secretary at the

Interesting fact - USA despite its cheap natural gas burns more coal per capita than Germany. See chart: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-consumption-per-capi... Germany should also do better however.

I think speculation is part of the equation, but not the only part. There is also lack of reasonably priced rentals and housing within a reasonable distance from transport infrastructure. Current build out is focused on the high end of the

Agreed. Funny that everyone is focusing on that point, which probably won't have much affect. I expect other policies such as below, will likely have more affect. Encouraging more housing at the lower end of the market seems like a goo

I like the idea of putting cars underground, because then you can build a human focused city above. But the video shows an urban wasteland of aboveground high-speed traffic and no people. WAT?
