"Ukrainian officials say Kyiv is now ready to sign the agreement on jointly developing its mineral resources, including oil and gas, after the US dropped demands for a right to $500bn in potential revenue from exploiting the resources."
--
"The final version of the agreement, dated February 24 and seen by the FT, would establish a fund into which Ukraine would contribute 50 per cent of proceeds from the “future monetisation” of state-owned mineral resources, including oil and gas, and associated logistics. The fund would invest in projects in Ukraine.
It excludes mineral resources that already contribute to Ukrainian government coffers, meaning it would not cover the existing activities of Naftogaz or Ukrnafta, Ukraine’s largest gas and oil producers.
However, the agreement omits any reference to US security guarantees which Kyiv had originally insisted on in return for agreeing to the deal. It also leaves crucial questions such as the size of the US stake in the fund and the terms of “joint ownership” deals to be hashed out in follow-up agreements."
I remember playing with this on Windows 95, but it turns out it was made for Windows 3.1 initially.

From earlier FB announcement (https://about.fb.com/news/2020/10/privacy-matters-whatsapp-b...): “When Facebook acts as a hosting provider to a business, it will use the messages it processes on behalf of and at the instruction of the business. This is an industry standard practice among many companies that offer hosting solutions. While Facebook will not automatically use messages to inform the ads that a user sees, as is always the case, businesses will be able to use chats they receive for their own marketing purposes, which may include advertising on Facebook.”
We’re now moving back the date on which people will be asked to review and accept the terms. No one will have their account suspended or deleted on February 8.”
Is there an unbiased analysis somewhere about what actually is changed by the new privacy policy?

However the two existing units in Loviisa will reach the end of their 50-year lifetime by 2030, so using them would depend on getting a lifetime extension (uncertain) or building a new reactor (very slow, as shown by the delays with the Olkiluoto unit 3 mentioned in another comment above).
However what I truly enjoyed when reading this article was the detailed story of the design process for a project like this. Each detail found in the final design went through numerous experiments and iterations, while balancing the requirements for aesthetics, functionality, manufacturing process and sourcing the materials and components. A fascinating read.
Now Relay and GraphQL have been officially released and moved out of tech preview.
The URL extraction functions are quite robust and handled the task well. This library has use cases beyond just parsing Twitter tweets.
Instead of telling why it is better than Grunt or Gulp, I'd like to know how it compares to webpack (or browserify, which seems to be quite close to webpack in functionality nowadays, http://reactpodcast.com/2015/06/webpack-vs-browserify/)
