<p>> Coal is neither cheap nor abundant in Ireland.<p>But it is abundant in Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and Poland. Also, there is nuclear power in France.<p>However, Russia and Ukraine are at war. Germany is willing to go green and destroy itself. EU hates Poland and other east European countries. And EU and the rest of the world can't disassociate nuclear power with weapons.<p>So I guess EU can enjoy their limited and expensive green energy.</p>

<p>> but from an outsider America has become one mouthpiece<p>Really? As a naturalized American I see diversity in the USA's media. Do you have an example?<p>From what I see, there are two big voices in the media politically.<p>> rarely do I see dissenting voices in the media<p>Again, we need an example. I see the official line from the current party in power, and the counter arguements from the mainstream media as a whole. The current party only has a media output from very few mainstream sources.</p>

<p>> create a fair international market and let winners win.<p>Why? It's selfish, but since the US and EU sent jobs out to India and China. India and China, have created protections that make getting those jobs back nearly impossible short of stopping payments. At the same time, these countries have huge trading imbalances (see FR complaining that their CN trade imbalance is untenable) and have become the defacto for cheap labor.</p>

<p>> What NPM should do if they really give a shit is start requiring 2FA to publish.<p>How does 2FA prevent malware? Anyone can get a phone number to receive a text or add an authenticator to their phone.<p>I would argue a subscrption model for 1 EUR/month would be better. The money received could pay for certification of packages and the credit card on file can leverage the security of the payments system.</p>

<p>> In 10 years where do the senior dev's come from?<p>From company interns. Internships won't go away, there will just be less of them. For example, some companies will turn down interns because they do not have the time to train them due to project load.<p>With AI, now employed developers can be picky on whether or not to take on interns.</p>

<p>> supply chain attacks<p>You all really need to stop using this term when it comes to OSS. Supply chain implies a relationship, none of these companies or developers have a relationship with the creators other than including their packages.<p>Call it something like "free code attacks" or "hobbyist code attacks."</p>

<p>> Trump is being handed EOs that he doesn't have a clue about.<p>Probably like every president before him.<p>No president like CEOs can know everything about the organization they head. They are mostly the face and mouthpiece, and depend on chiefs and VPs to tell them what needs to be done according to the agenda that CEO or president has put forth.</p>

<p>> You have a President who is ordering the defunding of tons of groups (universities, media, aid, institutes) while not clearly having that authority<p>You have to read into this line from the article:<p>> Congress directly authorized and funded CPB<p>He may not have the authority, but his influence over certain congress people and CPB board members can get the process moving.<p>Also, I have always wondered why CPB cannot just cut federal ties and become a sponsored non-profit?<p>During all shows you always hear or see that they are sponsored or have grants from major Fortune 500s, private families, and other institutions.<p>Also, whenever this defund topic comes up, CPB always says, "we receive very little from the fed, so our funding is not much and can be ignored."
