Responsible disclosure for a meme-level mistake, lol.

I understand letting them know. I agree. Painting them as equally wrong, no. "Popular website"; you mean 'theirs', right? The person with a whole 27 GitHub followers right now.

Pushing out an exact way to extract that data without giving the creator time to fix it may even be worse than using such code in production. The data may than be in the hands of malicious people who wouldn’t have found it otherwise

Doesn’t supabase provide security warnings on its dashboard?

The problem is that "shooting themselves in the foot" also translates to "earning more money for a longer time".

Probably true. The EU needs to enact daily fines for non-compliance, going back to the day the legislation came into power.

Only in the US feels like shooting themselves in the foot again. The EU is already cracking down on them for their malicious compliance with the DMA, and it’s only a matter of time before similar pressure builds

China can be pretty sure that the US will not act if they attack Taiwan. Trump and Vance are weak. All talk, no walk.

According to eurostat [1], Germany has one of the most expensive electricity (if not the most expensive due to a negative tax in Ireland) in Europe at ~0.35 to 0.40 EUR per kWh.

And an additional (!) 6-7.5 cent per KWh is payed by the "Klima und Transformationsfonds" to the producers of renewable energy.

1. Renewables have currently offset less than half of year 2000 nuclear generation -- https://www.iea.org/countries/germany/energy-mix

2. Industrial energy prices seem to have risen pretty consistently since 2000: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/g...

I'm pro renewable build-out, and a lot of new nuclear projects seem to my layman's eyes uneconomical, at least at today's cost (maybe we'd get better at doing it cheaper again if we invested, I don't know), but your claims seem false.

Renewables are very cheap if you only consider LCOE and not the systemic costs - which is what people like Zoadian love to do. Just ignore all those grid and backup costs. The grid fees alone have been increased substantially and Germany pays out an additional 7 cent per KWh through a fund that is not shown in the electricity bills anymore.

I think that they are importing much more gas, and that's been very painful, economically, because it was expected to come from Russia... but it hasn't (directly).

I also think that there has been an increase in wind and solar - but Germany isn't in the greatest place for either of these geographically.

The French people are getting a bad deal, having subsidized their nuclear fleet for fifty years it's now being heavily used to provide high cost export electricity to Germany and the UK, meaning that the French grid price is also high despite their probity and sense in building out nuclear.

France hasn't payed subsidies since 1981. EDF has payed a dividend nearly each year since then. EDF made $11bn profit last year and $10bn the year before. France energy prices have been reduced this year. Germany pays much higher prices.
