@Finumus1 It works for people not for crops.

Yeah, the answer to this is Air Conditioning.

@clivebagley @KemiBadenoch That's my point, if there is no date let's make the oil companies decide if they want to go to drill in UK water and risk their money. If there is really little oil there, I'm sure nobody will invest.

@andcino @KemiBadenoch We have no idea how long Trumpstein is going to carry on being the total twat buggering up world supply. That's probably why there's no end date

After 18 months of “standing up to Putin” the Labour govt quietly issued a licence allowing imports of Russian oil refined in third countries. Yesterday Labour MPs voted AGAINST UK oil and gas licences. We are now importing from Russia instead of drilling in the North Sea. Insane.

@clivebagley @KemiBadenoch Right, but if it only temporary relaxation why the government didn't put an end date to it? Meanwhile, the EU is relaxing its requirements for oil procurement from the artic region. The UK is locked in an ideological position that doesn't benefit anyone.

@KemiBadenoch @andcino The "instead of drilling in the North Sea" construction is a false binary. Even if every North Sea licence were granted tomorrow, no new production would come online for years - no bearing on today's fuel supply crisis. The two issues operate on completely different timescales.

@Finumus1 Yeah, hopefully it will improve.

@andcino No me neither. I guess they don't spend much on marketing it w/ a 20bps fee.

WGEC.L and chill.

Good. Losing an election gave the government some good idea.

@PensionsMonkey @SimonApperley I agree on a system with guard rails, but from a personal perspective people will put money on ISA rather than pension. Unless there is an incentive to do so.

@SimonApperley @andcino Makes sense to have a system with some guardrails around access, to ensure the funds are used sustainably in later life

Israel supporters reasoning: "In a hostage situation kill the hostages so you can take out the criminals". Hamas is bad, Israel is not any better.

@JeevunSandher If labour is serious about what you are saying it would speed up on nuclear. It doesn't seem the case. x.com/i/status/20552…

The more the Bank of England *is* worried about inflation, the less likely they are to cut rates. That's why energy bill reductions - that lower inflation directly, is such a good policy. And why we need to stick to the fiscal rules too.

BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork, with the same networking binary black box in question today. Why are they willing to burn the goodwill over it? There's something most have sensed but never seen it all in one place, the five-law framework China built between 2017 and 2023 ⤵️ So maybe their hand is forced as their "network" is too valuable already? Each law on its own, interesting, okay... Read them together, and add any Chinese company with big reach to the mix you get the complete picture. 1) National Intelligence Law (2017) All organizations and citizens must "support, assist, and cooperate" with intelligence work. The same law makes it illegal to disclose that cooperation happened. Cooperation is mandatory, and silence about it is mandatory too. 2) Cryptography Law (2020) Commercial encryption must be state-approved and state-reviewed. When authorities request it, companies must provide decryption keys or plaintext. The state on both sides of that equation is the same one. 3) Data Security Law (2021) Article 2 gives the state extraterritorial reach over data that touches Chinese national security or public interests. So EU/US data hosting does nothing to make it safe, because jurisdiction follows the company, not the server location. 4) Counter-Espionage Law revision (2023) The general definition of espionage was expanded to cover "documents, data, materials, or items related to national security and interests." Industrial data is one of the intended targets since the revision. 5) Network Product Security Vulnerability regulation (2021) Any company or researcher that discovers a software vulnerability must report it to MIIT within 48 hours. From there it flows to CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database of Information Security), operated by the 13th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security. Microsoft's threat intelligence team documented Chinese state-hacker zero-day usage rising after this took effect. Shows the willingness to use the “tools” China built. Together they describe a system with no neutral exits. Cooperation is required, encryption is real but the spare keys live at the ministry, jurisdiction follows the company across borders, industrial data is in scope, and discovered vulnerabilities flow to an intelligence agency 😬 3D printing became strategic for China in 2020 and joined the “Made in China 2025” plan soon after. Why does 3D printing matter so much? 1/x

@dholzric @bscholl Smart. Isn't a close fracking site a problem for a datacenter? In Europe, due to density of housing, fracking is banned.

@andcino @bscholl There are not enough pipelines to keep up with natural gas production. We can drill and frack faster than we can expand pipelines. Its a natural fit for west Texas and other gas rich areas. No new pipelines, and no new transmission lines needed

Small modular turbines—like our 42MW Superpower unit—make it easy for datacenters to make their own power, so they don't need to pull from the grid and affect others' power costs.

Telling people that the only way to succeed is through crime, lies, and luck does a great disservice to society. It’s not just untrue, it’s destructive of peoples’ potential. If our politicians cared they would disprove and then publicly and ceremonially shame this loser.

@DannyDada82 Io non capisco il tuo punto. Vuoi dire che l'assistenza non dovrebbe essere pagata dai lavoratori? Considerando che il bilancio dello stato é finanziato prevalentemente fai lavoratori, chi dovrebbe pagare l'assistenza, inclusi assegni familiari e NASPI?

Non ci si crede. La famigerata faccia tosta. Quando i loro trucchetti vengono svelati gli resta l'invettiva personale. "Scontro generazionale" mettendo nel conto della spesa assegni familiari, naspi e pensioni di invalidità 🤡

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Chinese companies that supplied Iran with satellite imagery of U.S. military facilities in the Middle East — U.S. State Department. Before you ask: while Russia did indeed commit the same crime—providing satellite imagery of U.S. bases to Iran, and even planning to supply Iran with 5,000 drones for attacks against U.S. soldiers—Trump would never take action against mass murderer Putin.

Imagine if we had blocked farm automation to protect agriculture jobs.
