IntroductionThe global financial credit crunch has made it harder to invest in new energy assets on a global scale. Understanding post-crunch investment dynamics in the energy sector is crucial if private and state utilities are to secure the necessary project finance to invest in new energy assets to cope with recovering demand in the developed world, and continuing growth in the developing world.Scope*Risk profiles for investing in different new energy assets*An analysis of the impact of the global credit crunch on investment in new energy assets*Projections of investment in different energy assets in different countries to 2030, as well as costs, implications and strategic investment factors*Case studies of investment in new renewable power generation and new gas storage assetsHighlightsThe global credit crunch has made it harder for state and private utilities to access investment finance, however investment will still primarily be driven by market fundamentals, and future revenue vs costs, regulatory and policy risks, subsidies and market structure need to be assessed before any investment can proceed.Investment is projected to grow significantly to 2030, facilitated by the need to keep up with growing energy demand. The US, EU, China and India are projected to have the largest increases in investment in new energy assets.Investment in low-carbon generation i.e. renewables, nuclear, CCS, etc. will form the biggest component of investment in new energy assets to 2030. These low-carbon investments will be primarily skewed towards the EU and US where the shift to decarbonising the economy is more pronounced.Reasons to Purchase*Decide which types of investment are riskier than others, as well as understanding which investor is best suited to undertake that new investment*Uncover where investment hot-spots in new energy assets are likely to occur, as well as the type and magnitude of different investments globally*Understand how the different investment factors interact prior to any investor commencing investment in any new energy asset globally

Smartphones: When is the first and last time you check yours?ReportLinker.com
Nearly half (46%) of Americans say they check their smartphones as soon as they wake up, while they’re still in bed, according to ReportLinker’s survey results. This is especially true of Millennials, 66% of whom say it’s the first thing they do before getting out of bed.
75% of Ameircans say they keep their smartphones active all day and night, and a staggering 83% of Millennials say they do.
In fact, disconnecting can be hard. More than half of Americans say their last check is right before bed – and 13% say they disconnect only after they’ve gotten into bed for the night. Even after they fall asleep, about 10% say they’ll wake up and check it during the night.

The Future of Direct Communications Technologies and Proximity-based Applicat...ReportLinker.com
Overview: There are a number of technologies that may be deployed that all provide the ability for devices to "discover" one another, although over different distances ranging from centimeters (Near Field Communications), to meters (Bluetooth), to 10s of meters (Wi-Fi). They also all provide the ability for the devices to communicate directly with one another without a centralized network. Some of these use direct communication as their primary mode of communication e.g. NFC or RFID. Others are more traditional networks which provide direct communication ability as an adjunct to their primary network functions e.g. LTE-Direct or Wi-Fi Direct. Most of the short-term drivers for proximity-based services will be mobile advertising and social networking, especially friend-finder services or dating services, and gaming. In the longer term, other applications will come into play within the scope of the so called Internet of Things. The challenge and opportunity for network operators will be to develop new user scenarios and even new business models to generate revenues from these services. This research uncovers opportunities that will be both beneficial and disruptive to the existing ecosystem and value chain. This research is must reading for any company that is considering offerings within proximity and direct communications and any company that wants to stay ahead of the crowd in terms of preparation for these disruptive technologies.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Financing New Energy Assets in the Post-Credit Crunch
Environment
Published on May 2010
Report Summary
Introduction
The global financial credit crunch has made it harder to invest in new energy assets on a global scale. Understanding post-crunch
investment dynamics in the energy sector is crucial if private and state utilities are to secure the necessary project finance to invest in
new energy assets to cope with recovering demand in the developed world, and continuing growth in the developing world.
Scope
*Risk profiles for investing in different new energy assets
*An analysis of the impact of the global credit crunch on investment in new energy assets
*Projections of investment in different energy assets in different countries to 2030, as well as costs, implications and strategic
investment factors
*Case studies of investment in new renewable power generation and new gas storage assets
Highlights
The global credit crunch has made it harder for state and private utilities to access investment finance, however investment will still
primarily be driven by market fundamentals, and future revenue vs costs, regulatory and policy risks, subsidies and market structure
need to be assessed before any investment can proceed.
Investment is projected to grow significantly to 2030, facilitated by the need to keep up with growing energy demand. The US, EU,
China and India are projected to have the largest increases in investment in new energy assets.
Investment in low-carbon generation i.e. renewables, nuclear, CCS, etc. will form the biggest component of investment in new energy
assets to 2030. These low-carbon investments will be primarily skewed towards the EU and US where the shift to decarbonising the
economy is more pronounced.

ANALYSIS 4
It is important to understand the investment environment and the fundamentals of energy project finance before an investor can
rationally decide to invest in a new energy asset 4
The market framework for investment in new energy assets has significant implications for potential investors 4
A competitive market inherently carries more investment risk than a monopoly or state investment market 4
Investment in new energy assets is heavily dependent on the debt versus equity ratio 5
Investors will compare expected future revenue streams with the cost of investing in the new energy asset 6
When choosing to invest in any new energy asset, the investor should look at the associated risk profiles and factors which could
impede its viability 7
Different factors affect the viability of investing in a new energy asset to varying degrees 7
Investment in new nuclear generation build is typically riskier than investment in gas generation 8
Salt cavern gas storage facilities are typically easier to finance than depleted field facilities 9
LNG liquefaction facilities are typically several times more expensive to fund than LNG regasification facilities 10
Deep water upstream oil activities are financially riskier than onshore activities 12
The impact of the global credit crunch between 2007-09 has had a profound impact on several investors' ability to procure the
necessary levels of finance to fund new energy assets or extensions of existing ones 13
The global credit crunch has impacted investors' ability to fund new energy assets or extensions of existing ones 13
The recession led to weaker energy demand and a consequent slump in prices, making investment in energy assets less profitable 14
Falling energy demand has made it less urgent for suppliers to invest in new production capacity and reduced their appetite to take
this risk 15
The impact of the global credit crunch on new thermal power generation investments: new power plant orders worldwide down by
30-50% in 2009 15
The impact of the global credit crunch on new renewable power generation investments: there was a drop post Q4 2008 17
The impact of the global credit crunch on upstream oil investments: several projects were cancelled in 2009 (1) 18
The post-credit-crunch landscape means that funding new energy assets could now carry more investment risk than previously,
although investment will still follow market fundamentals 19
In the post-credit-crunch landscape, market and policy signals are still the biggest drivers of investment in new energy assets 19
Greater demand for power generation investments will make them more viable and profitable, helping investors secure project finance
(1) 20
New nuclear power generation is significantly more expensive to invest in than new gas power generation 21
Funding power generation: EU and US rely on private firms and utilities, while China and India rely on government and state utilities
22
Investment in oil exploration and production is forecast to rise significantly to 2030 to keep up with growing global oil demand 23
OPEC countries have lower investment costs for oil exploration activities than Western Europe and North America 24
OPEC countries are forecast to add an extra 900,000-1,400,000 barrels per day year-on-year in extra capacity between 2010-15 (2)
25
Non-OPEC countries are forecast to add an extra 900,000-1,800,000 barrels per day year-on-year in extra capacity between 2010-15

Expected future investment in new gas storage facilities will be driven by a range of market, strategic and regulatory factors 28
The global gas glut could impact investment in new LNG terminals, but it will recover due to an expected increase in LNG demand (2)
