It’s not a key to your credit card unless you fucked up and the key has no enforced access controls or MFA.

If you architected things correctly, your root DB key should be useless without an additional compromise of an independent system.

No, a leaked credential should not be enough to get access to your database,

> I really wish I understood why nuclear has this cult-like following. It's completely irrational.

Because “cost” is not an argument against something that hasn’t been scaled. Nuclear was snuffed in the crib before any repeatable plants could be brought online.

If you looked at the cost of solar in 1995, using it to power anything like a house was a complete joke. It had to fall over an order of magnitude and leave behind a trail of solar company corpses to get to a point where you can break even after 10 years putting them on a house.

Solar and wind need storage to make a complete solution, so when it comes to climate change discussions, you just end up with two “irrational” groups arguing about the optimistic potential things that don’t actually exist at an affordable cost.

“Getting solved” isn’t solved though. Abandoning nuclear for an inadequate replacement led to massive global expansion of natural gas and coal generation from the 80s onward. While solar and wind exploded in deployments, it didn’t keep up and shuttering nuclear is likely the largest mistake societies made as far as global warming goes. It was the only non-austerity option with the capacity capability.

Nope, this is wrong. Deep sea drilling is what goes into the abyssal plains.

Holy shit dude. The whole point was that the shield of deep water horizon, which was an entirely separate company, did not protect BP.

Yet you’re sitting here pretending to be outraged that people forming LLCs are related to this.

No, a leaked credential is a nothing event in a mass leak as far as expected loss goes.

You’re better off waiting and monitoring until you’re sure you can get back online if your service supports any kind of revenue.

Nicotine addiction isn’t the problem though, you’ve just shifted the goal posts. A nicotine pill is not giving someone lung cancer.

“A made up scenario, I am outraged!”

Do you know that BP wasn’t the company that spilled? LLCs don’t let you shirk responsibility like that.

What’s exhausting is shifting the goal posts. BP should be held up as a great example where the responsibility transferred onto the shareholders.

“Oh, but there are other bad actors doing things” is not a counterpoint. That’s the same as claiming a government can’t work by pointing to a different failed policy every time someone points how how a policy failure was corrected.

How much of the ocean is deep sea vs not? Slow recovery doesn’t mean it’s the worst until you normalize it. Rare shallow but short life populations might be significantly more delicate

>Usually we end up with cartels in such cases, see OPEC, mafias etc.

No we don’t. That’s quite rare.

Look at the collapse of the solar market around 2010 as the price collapsed.

Look at the collapse of the steel industry in the US as outsourcing to Asia took over in the 70s-80s.

Look at the entire computing boom from 1990-2020. Memory and storage followed such a steady line down and to the right that people are struggling to operate compute businesses in a normal market.

E-bikes, scooters, electric cars, lithium ion batteries in general. Most food.

The list of these commoditized things that started out as areas of innovation and became just the marginal cost of production is enormous.

A long time ago we decided as a society that in order for an engineer to sign off on physical designs, they have to take legal liability for them.

No such process exists for a model to take a design seriously that can kill people.
