  They are subsiding the deployment of clean energy sources?

  Good for them. And good for the world.

  Maybe YOU should give another look at those figures.

  Specially the ones relative to the % of new renewables put into production during the last years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, we would still need evidence.

  Because of that ‘innocent until caught’ and ‘due process’ things you may had heard about.

  Note: a credible testimony IS evidence, although it must be a little bit beyond the simple ‘trust me’ stuff.

  Banking IT engineer here.

  In our case, everything ‘core’: checking and savings accounts, loans and credits, credit and debit cards… anything requiring a sub-second response time while being bombarded with tens of thousands of transactions per second AND requiring strict ACID transactions end to end AND 24x7 availability with quick recovery in case of disaster.

  Secondary stuff is being moved to other architectures. And new core stuff is being written in Java… and ran on the mainframe.
