I think the article is about price of producing electricity rather than the price on market... We've gone from the "Renewables are theoretically good but too expensive" to "Renewables are too cheap" stage surprisingly fast. The growing influx of intermittent renewable energy means either you adapt and use the cheap electricity for you benefit. Or pay a higher price for more expensive electricity sources if you can't be flexible.

A lot of power dependent things are going to start being priced like AWS spot instances.

The hikey and hikey960 devboards let you build your own code to run in the trustzone - eg the boot chain isn't signed and secure. The trustzone and uefi implemention these boards use is also fully open source.

Shim is signed with microsoft key, does it still require custom mode for booting?

This article seems to miss the fact ISIS took over Mosul international airport in 2014. Surely they got luggage screening machines in hand by then already.

I'd build an bioshpere 3 in Antarctica or deep sea rather than Everest. Build sustainable ecosystems on hostile places on Earth will help bootstrapping Mars. Colonising Mars is still an important goal for headlines (and funding), and to have something great for kids to aspire for.

In 90's Finland took a steep dive in an index describing how technically advanced a country is. Turns out, amount of telephone booths per capita was in important part of the index. As the country was already transforming to mobile phones, it was the index that had become outdated.

Until recently, gas was just flared at oilrigs. It was waste not worth shipping. I remember flying past Persian gulf and looking down at sea been light by gas flares. Now the gas is put in use, it is still burned into co2. But now it creates electricity and reduces use of oil and coal.

So if LNG terminal reduces flaring, it's "green energy" project. But if it is to increase fracking, it's just fossil fuels project.

I wouldn't mind a large percentage of end user applications coming directly from upstream developers them self. However, I hope it doesn't take away end users ability hack/tinker/modify/rebuild the application installed from appimage/flatpak.

Already often a big part of Debian packaging work is making the software compile outside the developers personal enviroment without manual steps - or in the other end decoupling from the developers CI loop.

Had I known the text would end up shared here, I'd surely spent more than 15min writing it! I'm hardly the most active contributor in Debian, but I guess that's part of how one can manage so long.

I just switched to a simpler theme, I didn't realize the one I had chosen was so dependant on javascript.
