Should people disengage with Hn because they don't like your opinion?

> On modifying software [..] It was fun and satisfying, but it ended up being a bit of a pain to keep updated. I don't mean this as a criticism in any way - but the need to keep yo…

There's little point in me telling the world how I like my dinnercooked, unless the world both understands exactly what I mean, and cares

I mean - if there are multiple sdcards in the device - and they each contain a hidden partition - how is the X-RAY going to determine that the reported 5GB (or whatever) isn't matc…

> They pay other people to notice this stuff for them! Money, even at state level, is not some infinite resource (and neither is time). States put effort into what they consider wo…

Advertising is every site's last resort - but it's the only damn thing that pays the bills

Right - your comment was very poorly articulated - and loaded with supposition. Your claim is that the reason people cannot buy the vehicles ISN'T because they are being dumped BUT…

Yes, I am well aware of the definition of dumping - that fails to explain why people cannot buy them. If they're being dumped there is an oversupply, and people are spoilt for choi…

Wait - what? You cannot buy them because they are dumping them??????

I am not surprised - I am, however, surprised how little people pay attention to the risks involved with the practice.

I love how the pro nuclear crowd deals in misinformation to denigrate anyone that dares not agree with them. They asked for my standard - despite it being a tactic to try and throw…

He literally mentioned tonnes of waste being generated. But don't let that get in the way of a good pile on.

> We also know how to get rid of it entirely, leaving only material that will decay to safe levels within hundreds of years In the interests of fairness, is like a citation showing…

My understanding is that this material remains toxic to life for thousands, to tens of thousands of years. Safe means that it's stored such that there's no harm to the environment …

I said from the start that the argument you presented was fallacious, and all you did was present it, now, because you have no other argument, you're working on aggressive attacks.…

It's not. The time frame we are talking about invalidates the "safety" because the earth's crust moves and warps, which allows water to access that sort of storage

You're repeating the problem - You're saying that there is less waste to deal with which magically means it's safe. You do understand that don't you?

I've never understood how people think "less" solves the issue, it's not negligible and asking to increase the number of plants surely increases the waste. Reprocessing, isn't infi…

> Nuclear waste would be the other large remaining issue, but again - society chose to create that problem and not solve it. It's not technical in nature. Care to explain, I've nev…

I'm going to cause an expensive outage that will ruin the company, and our careers unless you say no to sugar in the coffee!!!!

Can they? Yes, anyone can. Will they... that's a different question

Is it *vital* No. It's really helpful, but it's not vital. WRT Ukraine - the drones are now (AIUI) flown with a tethered fibre connection (inside the Ukraine) - because jammers hav…

Yes - what does civilisations forgetting how to make the best known concrete on the planet have to do with forgetting how to make a GEIGER counter You cannot even spell the damned …

You complain that nothing makes sense to yu, when given an actual example of the problem of a nuclear plant in a warzone you ask what the point is - we're done here, take your trol…
