I think they would have done this type of structuring anyway just because of what the parent comments have mentioned. But this is probably required by local laws just to be allowed to operate in the jurisdiction(s).

I agree that there is not an orange to orange comparison, but I have still not seen a law that could scale as well. The example that comes to mind with a proposed law like this is how would you license work that build on another work? What if I decide to publish a blog post after taking some course, that distills whatever I learned in the course for free?

They built their existing nuclear plant in order to hide their nuclear weapons program. So the point really wasn’t energy generation. Nuclear weapons is the main reason countries build nuclear power.

Some of the hydro power is run-of-river hydro power stations, which has lower flow when it is cold.

We have events where the we cannot get enough load from domestic production. Typically in winter when water freezes.

Its tru for Schengen visas too. Overstaying a day because of a cancelled flight is enough to deny future visas, they are very strict. It depends on the country you are applying to, and from. There are also exit requirements, like having to leave Schengen from the same country you arrived in.

It's so easy in Norway. When you start a new relationship with another bank, they just offer to move all your money and automatic bill payments from the other bank to your new bank. So the new bank handles everything

BankID is mostly snakeoil. It's not really much more than TOTP 2fa, where you have to have shown physical ID to some of the involved organizations at some point. All the stuff they do with keys is pointless in the end, and is just theatrics to make it sound safe.
The providers holds all the keys, you cannot verify that a signature is legit yourself, you wont get access to the keys they use to sign things, and a cryptographic signature is not really the same as a normal signature on a document.

The most popular nim repository on Github except nim-lang itself is OffensiveNim which basically is a collection implementation of malware features in nim. It's a very popular language for red teamers. This has nothing to do with signed binaries.
Re:Ask HN: Google spam filter getting worse?

I have been getting tons of PDFs which in the previews shows pictures of women. The subject and body of the emails just seems to be random words like in a seed phrase, and with some random single digit numbers. The email is sent from office, hotmail or gmail accounts and verifies. The TO field is also filled with other emails. I have been getting this for like 3 or 4 months, and report as spam does not work. In all the years I have had a gmail account it has never really been a problem.

It's a bit of an unfavorable comparison, a more apt comparison would be Ubuntu/Fedora/ElementaryOS hardening vs Windows 11. The desktop versions have much larger attack surfaces than just "Linux", and it is honestly quite abysmal compared to Windows desktop, mostly because there are nobody looking for those kinds of bugs.

A common argument from climate change deniers is that the planet was warmer before and things were fine then. So I guess the comment plays into that, as the changes we are facing might not be new for Earth, but they are new for a Earth with humans.

To some degree you can trust them, as data request to Signal have been through the court systems which is public. You can actually look up and see what data they have turned over after receiving court orders to do so.
