Bernard Arnault is lobbying against this law, because his companies make a lot of money in the Asian market, especially in China, and he fears repercussions from the Chinese government and a tariff war.

If WebEx is susceptible to MITM attacks, it shouldn’t be used for sensitive calls. It’s better to use a VPN, but something like this should not happen at all, even without VPNs.

This does not justify closing existing, already payed, plants. And it’s not fossil.

OP might also be interested in the reverse operation. If s is your number from 0 to 1, the corresponding position in the “real” space is min + s * (max-min), which can also be written as (1-s)min + smax . This is sometimes called a linear interpolation, or a weighted average. Note that you can also use the same formulas with s smaller than zero and larger than one, thus performing linear extrapolation. Finally, these same formulas apply in higher dimensions, just think of min and max as the coordinates of two vectors, and appy these formulas for each coordinate, and you get linear interpolation between your two vectors.

I have two kids and use a bike (for ecological reasons). I realize I’m incredibly lucky my area has very good and safe biking infrastructure. Had to upgrade to a electric cargo bike when the second one came about, but I don’t regret at all, it’s more’confortable and safer for the kids. I do own an old ICE car, which I considered replacing with a new EV, but since I drive maybe a few hundreds of kilometers per year, I figured it’d make more sense to keep the old diesel than to replace it.

I considered it seriously even though I am fertile. The process is so complex, long and uncertain in my country (western Europe) that we chose to make new ones. Still considering to adopt when we get a bit older.
