Germany spent something like a trillion euro on renewables and still produces much more CO2 per capita per year than France who spent 200 billion on nuclear (and whose nuclear industry is forced to bail out competitors now)

One would think "green" movements (greenpeace, and modern green parties) have been infiltrated by coal/oil/gas lobbies as so far the only winner out of no nuclear yes wind policy is Vladimir Putin and not the environment

I got 3 messages from 3 recruiters this morning on linkedin for a (wellknown) company i interviewed for few years back.

I politely replied to each that, I interviewed, thought it went quite well and then got ghosted (never heard anything, zero), hence not going thru that again. Besides current job pays more and is interesting

At least they try to solve issues with science/engineering instead of just giving up and throwing hands in air about climate change issues.

I think its important to sepate Java the language from JVM runtime

Likes of Kotlin (and controversially Scala) do quite well on it and solve many of the ugly deficiencies of Java

Its also probably important to separate latest Java (which is improving) from enterprise Java out there which usually feels like an archeology dig with decades of boilerplate and rubbish and terrible code

Currently in an enteprise java team and hate my life and regreting moving away from Kotlin+Springboot team.

It also got me interested in the 30 years war which i didnt realise was possibly even bloodier period than WW1 and 2 in europe for the populations impacted. He has another series in same premise with a modern cruise ship going back to ancient greek times, not as good as this series tho'.

if anyone else has any other recommendations in same genre of time travel and re-booting up civilisation it be great to hear! I always found the genre interesting since Jules Verne's Mysterious Island https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32831.The_Mysterious_Isl...

Doesnt China have it's own supply of deserts a bit closer to home?

Not all EU countries, Ireland is in same boat as UK when it comes to digital services and government website login

One main use for Docker we have is running integration tests on local docker compose containers and/or using testcontainers library

Can rancher solve this usecase?

Thats like saying America is not United States, we know that :)

While geographically correct of course, politically and economically USA with its 50 states is the center of gravity in North America just like like EU with its 27 states is center of gravity in Europe

The current Prime Minister is on public record saying "F#$k Business"

That pretty much sums up how far UK has been hijacked by chancers.

I know, the problem is if you are a business from outside this island you are going to be spooked by all that nonsense

Why would anyone setup shop in NI if they have no certainty that NI's unique access to UK and EU markets wont be shredded up by numpties who still think its the 17th century

UK was in that position precisely because of EU membership, now they are just making Ireland (and Netherlands) an even more attractive option

Northern Ireland is not stable, every single day both DUP and British Government threathen the peace there

souce: im from Ireland, feel really sorry for any business wanting to setup there or are escaping the Brexit basketcase next door

We have Proportional Representation single transfereable vote system in Ireland and its great, as it forces formation of coalitions to actually represent a majority of population (hence less alienation), allows small parties and independents to potentially join governing coalition (Greens at moment for example), forces parties to compromise and drop more extreme policies.

As for the left / right divide in USA, from our point of view your two main parties are well on the right wing out there

I am actually surprised none of the large cruise ship companies have yet thought of bringing back blimps but with safer helium or something.

1. Put a few hundred well off people in luxury and slow air ship them to locations hard to reach by ships. Maybe with both top and bottom decks

2. ???

3. Profit

Everyone thinks of Hindenburg disaster when they think of blimps, yet infamous Titanic and Costa Concordia didnt sink the cruise industry.
