HBO’s new Chernobyl mini-series shows how good science is undermined by secrecy

Insidious Soviet-era leadership is the villain in this dark five-episode drama.

Chernobyl (2019) | Official Trailer | HBO

When reactor four at the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded in April 1986 outside of Pripyat, Ukraine, the whole world watched in horror as tidbits of information leaked out of the tightly controlled Soviet Union. But conflicting official and scientific reports made it difficult to know the extent of the disaster.

The piecemeal accounts of how Chernobyl unfolded have made the disaster ripe for over-dramatization and under-dramatization, depending on the storyteller's politics and attitudes toward nuclear energy. But HBO's new five-part mini-series Chernobyl stands out: it has the benefit of an extremely well-researched script that isn't afraid to make tasteful modifications to the story to keep the viewer from getting bored and drowning in names.

In short, Chernobyl, which debuts on HBO tonight at 9pm ET, is worth the watch.

Microsoft’s plan for Edge: Integrated IE compatibility, better privacy

New features will make Edge more than just a reskinned Chrome.

Microsoft has outlined its plans for the next stage of development for the new Chromium-based Edge browser, and those plans include a trio of new features.

The first is a big nod to enterprise customers: a built-in Internet Explorer mode. Chrome has a number of extensions that accomplish much the same thing—they create a new tab in the browser and use the Internet Explorer 11 engine, rather than the Chrome engine, to draw that tab. For Edge, this capability will be built in.

The integrated Internet Explorer tab can be used to provide compatibility for legacy Web applications.

Enterprises can already create a compatibility list, the Enterprise Mode Site List, which the current Edge browser uses to know which (internal, line-of-business) sites should be shown in Internet Explorer 11. The new Edge will use this same list to determine when to use Internet Explorer.
