Ugh. With datalist values (Which hasn’t been fixed for 6 years) and another breakage of web standard by firefox I’ve seen, in a week. Can’t believe firefox actually insulted Internet Explorer for rigging standards.
What’s the point of disabling it when you can mimic the feature with javascript?
Unfortunately... yes. They have Europe coming "really soon" when we were talking to them which we're excited about, but it's one location in the west coast of the US currently.
We do use Cloudflare, but a lot of the instance backups we store are multiple GBs - Cloudflare doesn't cache those. Not to mention uploads from regions like Singapore can be very slow all the way to the US.
It's not a deal-breaker for us, but we're very much looking forward to when they can support more regions.
The current government, which ousted the former goverment with absurd scandals, is under a huge bribery and corruption scandal which includes kpop stars, police and prosecutors alike.
The current government always tried to shift the media’s attention when they were in trouble with former government’s incidents and this is one of them.
The government is actually trying to indict former government’s staff and let them take all the media’s blame, while they clean up their own bribery scandal.
Here are the abstracts of the two Science papers. This isn't my area, and although it would be hard to prove causation, they do have good evidence that causation is plausible. That's probably as strong a claim as anyone would be likely to be able to make, given the constraints on what is known.
The moment magnitude (Mw) 5.5 earthquake that struck South Korea in November 2017 was one of the largest and most damaging events in that country over the past century. Its proximity to an enhanced geothermal system site, where high-pressure hydraulic injection had been performed during the previous 2 years, raises the possibility that this earthquake was anthropogenic. We have combined seismological and geodetic analyses to characterize the mainshock and its largest aftershocks, constrain the geometry of this seismic sequence, and shed light on its causal factors. According to our analysis, it seems plausible that the occurrence of this earthquake was influenced by the aforementioned industrial activities. Finally, we found that the earthquake transferred static stress to larger nearby faults, potentially increasing the seismic hazard in the area.
The moment magnitude (Mw) 5.4 Pohang earthquake, the most damaging event in South Korea since instrumental seismic observation began in 1905, occurred beneath the Pohang geothermal power plant in 2017. Geological and geophysical data suggest that the Pohang earthquake was induced by fluid from an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) site, which was injected directly into a near-critically stressed subsurface fault zone. The magnitude of the mainshock makes it the largest known induced earthquake at an EGS site.
"The results support the findings of a pair of studies published in Science1,2 last year, which suggested the plant as a likely cause of the quake."
"Earthquakes have been linked to geothermal power plant in other parts of the world. But the Pohang quake is by far the strongest ever tied to this kind of plant — 1,000 times mightier than a magnitude-3.4 quake triggered by a plant in Basel, Switzerland, in 2006."
If you take the word `purely` out of your statement, it is a political decision. Seems to be based on science though. Everything else becomes irrelevant. This also reminded me about the `fracking` debated in US. If I am understanding this link [0] correctly, it's not the fracturing of the rocks but the high pressure liquids that induces earthquake? I am still unclear on the detailed mechanism.

What are you talking about. The bribery/corruption scandal of the "Burning Sun" nightclub is linked to Gangnam police office, which is not exactly known for being Moon's supporters. We're talking about old boys with old corruption that dates back years. Today there was another revelation (although still unconfirmed, it seems) that the guy who started it all by beating up a nightclub patron was none other than the nephew of Choi Soon-sil, the crazy shaman friend of former president Park whose friendship basically brought down the previous government.
The other two sex scandals are even worse: they involve a high-ranking government officer of PGH government, and someone in the owner family of the ultra-conservative newspaper Chosun Ilbo, respectively.
So there's no reason why Moon would want to manufacture an earthquake controversy to turn people's eyes from these sex scandals. If anything, it should be the other way.
