#Nuclear security is back in interest again. High time. Nuclear power remains dangerous business - no matter whether large or small reactors. Malevolent attack and acts of war remain too much under the radar when assessing nuclear #risks.

"The logging industry is finding ways to get around the so-called ban."

"A loophole in the law banning Victoria's native timber harvesting means logging projects can still go ahead as the state government passes project approval responsibility to local councils."

"How could it be that a local council would have the expertise, the biological and ecological expertise, to approve logging in an area? When you log and regenerate an area of native forest … that same area of forest becomes much more flammable for a prolonged period of time," Professor Lindenmayer said. "I don't think that we should be adding that extra fire burden for rural and regional people to have to deal with."

@Fiona : proper risk analysis takes into account EVERY weakness.

Even *if* you are right that Threema does *not* use forward secrecy, AFAIK the servers are not in located in the US and neither are the developers.

The chances that an orange haired idiot orders Threema to build in a backdoor and STFU about it, are therefore lower than with *ANY* US-associated whatsever signaling app.

(Me: just a longtime happy Threema user, without any PhD, but believing to understand what forward secrecy means. Including that if missing FS poses a risk to a specific user, that user has a *LOT* more to worry about - including which phone and which OS to use anyway).

P.S. are you (the reader) still using email?

A federal judge has ordered #Trump admin ofcls involved in #ElonMusk’s “opaque” #DOGE to #testify under oath in one of the many sprawling lawsuits seeking to block DOGE’s access to sensitive govt databases.

US Dist Judge John Bates agreed Thurs that “very limited” efforts to question ofcls connected to DOGE would help clarify what exactly the group is doing & whether it poses the #risks to sensitive data that govt employees fear.

While #Trump has acknowledged that his policies could bring some *initial* pain [like how he said #COVID would be over in 2 weeks], the early warning signs suggest that his blunt approach could come w/more ominous #risks to the #economy.

“There’s more #uncertainty than I think is widely appreciated,” said Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

Dekleva is now at the #EPA in a crucial job: She…has the authority to approve new #chemicals…. Earlier she spent 32yrs at Dupont, the chemical maker, before joining…the first #Trump admin.

Her most recent employer, the chemicals #lobbying group, has made reversing the EPA’s course on #formaldehyde a priority & is pushing to abolish a program under which the agency assess the #risks of chemicals to human #health.
