Defunct blog now clickbait farm

*How [defunct] Beloved Indie Blog "The Hairpin" Turned Into an AI Clickbait Farm.* The article reports that some businesses are systematically buying expired domain names of sites that were of value once, and doing this to them.

The copyright on the articles formerly posted on that blog site did not expire with the site's domain. What the site is described as doing to some of those articles sounds like copyright infringement to me. This article does not say who holds those copyrights, or how the clickbait farmer could have found those old articles.

You may have heard that I advocate major relaxation of copyright law. If the changes I propose there were carried out, that would not alter the legal situation of this issue.

Delays have made the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant so expensive that the main investor, EDF, looks to lose money on it.

Hinkley Point C should be canceled and the sunk costs written off.

Building nuclear power plants as a means of decarbonization is idiotic because renewable electric generation and battery storage are much cheaper and much faster to build. The decision to build that power reactor has to have been influenced by illegitimate goals.
