The reason is roughly that there were devastating food shortages in the world wars, and avoiding that happening again has been an important force in Dutch politics since.
I don't believe UK social housing has any work requirements, it is just massively oversubscribed, such that you need to be very vulnerable to realistically be offered council housing. You do have to pay (below market rate) rent, so you probably need to be searching for work or have been declared to have limited capability for work or work related activities to get a benefit to pay for your social housing. I think there's some state where they've decided no one will hire you for minimum wage, but you're otherwise able so you have to do some kind of volunteering.
I believe 4chan is taking ofcom to court for trying to restrict their first amendment rights rather than blocking the UK, at least I'm still able to access it without a vpn.
You can definitely sideload books, and I was able to do so without loginning into an account by adding a fake user to a sqlite file on the device. I didn't see any upside to any of the tweak/custom firmware stuff I saw over just not connecting the device to the internet for my use case, but I think root access might be possible?
> Figuring out what's causing those changes involved diving into detailed accounting records on the construction of these nuclear plants; data on that was available for plants built after 1976.
My understanding was that the cost of nuclear started skyrocketing around the mid-late 70s, so around the period this study period begins to get data.
And I thought the nature of the cost increases was things like being stuck iterating on designs optized for being part of a weapons program rather than safety or economics, and making it difficult enough to get approval that only companies of the "win the contract, then hold the sunk costs to random for more money" sort would bother trying to build them.
