They knew China had raced ahead in sectors like batteries and “everything around energy,” but seeing how big the gap was firsthand left them wondering how European and North American competitors can even survive, Talia Rafaeli, a former investment banker at both Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc who’s now a partner at Kompas VC.

Planet A Ventures, a Berlin-based VC, has decided that investments in Western startups spanning battery manufacturing and recycling, electrolysers, solar and hardware for wind are no longer viable, says Nick de la Forge, general partner and co-founder of the firm. He says before the trip he’d suspected China was way ahead; but after going there, those sectors are now “strictly off the list.”

Yair Reem, a partner at Extantia Capital, says the trip has already led his firm to halt investments in Western battery cell manufacturers. Instead, they’ll look for ways to collaborate with Chinese firms across supply chains. When it comes to battery manufacturing in the West, China’s dominance means it’s now “game over,” according to Reem.

Ashwin Shashindranath, a former Macquarie Group managing director who’s now a partner at Energy Impact Partners, says what he saw on the trip made it “very clear” that Western investors live “in a bubble” in their misconceptions about China.

Hi there, In my search to learn a bit more about Linux, i came across this website called "OverTheWire", which teaches basic and some advanced concepts over SSH. It seems like a fun and engaging way to learn.

However, as a bit of a paranoid beginner when it comes to Linux and networking, i find myself worrying about the potential dangers of connecting to an untrusted network.

So, my questions are:

1. Does anyone have any experience with the website?

2. In the hypothetical case that I open an SSH connection to a compromised network, could that expose me to attacks? (Aside from obvious risks like downloading malicious files myself.)

3. Should I use a virtual machine (VM) for this?

I sincerely appreciate any responses. Thank you!

Enfin! Le dénouement d'une série que j'attends depuis des années!

En taule!

Il aura fallu des mois aux équipes de "Complément d'enquête" pour convaincre ce policier de parler. "Personne ne se doute que je fais ça", confie-t-il dans le documentaire diffusé jeudi 25 septembre sur France 2 et intitulé "Police, justice : où sont les nouveaux ripoux ?" Il se targue même d'avoir toujours été "un fonctionnaire exemplaire" aux yeux de sa hiérarchie. "Complément d'enquête". Police, justice : où sont les nouveaux ripoux ?

Sous couvert d'anonymat, il affirme pourtant renseigner "une vingtaine" de personnes "qui ont une place importante dans le narcotrafic". Selon ses déclarations, il récupèrerait discrètement des informations auprès de ses collègues sur les enquêtes en cours en échange de 2 000 euros par mois, soit presque autant que son salaire. Il se montre peu inquiet d'être démasqué par sa hiérarchie car il dit prendre bien soin de ne laisser aucune trace quand il récupère des renseignements. Il affirme aussi ne pas avoir peur des narcotrafiquants qui le payent, car ils ne savent pas qui il est. "On ne peut pas m'identifier : je change régulièrement de puce et de téléphone aussi", détaille-t-il.

Jirard Khalil gives an in-depth breakdown of what happened with the open hands non profit. I've been waiting a year for this video and I am happy to see Jirard again. Everyone will have to decide for themselves but I accept what he has to say and look forward to supporting his content again.
