"did not cause any harm" - for a very loose defintion of harm. Sure it could have been much worse. But enough ground and water was contaminated, and much more will be in the future when they run out of storage.


And how much ground water is contaminated with fossil fuel extraction?


Radio contamination is at a different level


and who has actually been directly affected by this? I think it's your definition of harm that is too loose and overly inclusive.

Your average oil spill does 100x more damage to the ecosystem and economy than fukushima


So Fukushima did no harm, because the 100 000 people who had to be evacuated were not harmed?


They didn't need to be evacuated, or at least not so quickly --- at least in hindsight.

I'm trying to compromise a bit with the "at least"s :)


You can also use them via heise.de/preisvergleich and thus also supporting good tech journalism.


they are part of the heise group, so heise profits either way i reckon


What's L1? web-dls I have seen are always relatively low resolution, so at least it protects fullhd or 4k.


1080p WEB-DLs are very common if you're in the right places, but even public trackers should have plenty. 4K is slightly less common but does also happen, with frequency depending on the streaming service.


>so at least it protects fullhd or 4k.

Not really. Popular streaming-exclusive shows often get 1080p versions released within a few hours, and the 2160p versions released within a few days.


The Grand Tour S04E03 4k web-dl is readily available on private torrent trackers hours after public release on Amazon Prime.

No idea what encryption Amazon use, but suffice to say it is thoroughly broken by someone out there. Given the expense of acquiring those presenters and the production costs of their shows, and how they bring people to the Prime video platform, I suspect Amazon is reasonably interested in keeping that content protected.


Widevine L1 - the hardware DRM in ARM trustzone with individual keys for each chip.


It is still improved. The actually also want to add this kind of check-in (almost done) but it might be blocked by apple/google as the terms of use of the contact tracing API forbids use of additional data.


As far as I know CWA will save it on the device and thus comply with all requirements for contact tracing apps.


Neither is right. CCC also has security experts as members, which sometimes comment publicly. In general however, it is the parent organization for local hacker spaces (though it is possible to be member on only local or only CCC level). And many local spaces are also called ccc-xy. Wnd their interests.


This so much.


> the terrible chaos that is npm

I don't get how anyone can call it beautiful and productive. Ever take over/inherit some 'older' node code and try to update it or even get to work... it is hell. Even worse if it is from the time when there were competing forks of nodejs, so you have to try to figure out which it prefers. And maybe even then it won't run. (probably because npm's version notation can be unpredictable, so npm install still installs a version that breaks something even though it shouldn't)


Ah, so you are one of those who voted to keep Tegel open I guess?


I couldn't vote but I campaigned to keep it open indeed.

The decision to close it is just a way for insincere and short-term thinking politicians to gain some cheap points.


How does it gain cheap points when the majority are against it?


Except they don't fluctuate, there is just a certain amount of lower fares (going up in stages, the closer you get to the travel date and depending if all tickets of that category were booked already). This is know in advance, and the maximum price is always fixed. So quite different.


> Except they don't fluctuate, there is just a certain amount of lower fares (going up in stages, the closer you get to the travel date and depending if all tickets of that category were booked already).

This isn't true, or at least that's not true in a general sense. IIRC ticket prices of all high-speed services offered by Spain's high-speed train operator, Renfe, increase as we get close to the travel day. In some cases, I assume due to low demand, sometimes prices drop a couple of weeks to the travel day. I assume all prices follow a predetermined progression accompanied by ad-hoc adjustments depending on demand levels.

Source: I've scraped price data out of Renfe's site for fun.


But the parent comment explicitly mentioned that case, it's not fluctuation as it is implied to be quite predictable.
