Wow something from Melbourne comes to the first rank in HN!
actually I still can't find any explanation why the fire starts at all. Or maybe they haven't found out yet
Edit: I don't get the downvotes, I am from Melbie, nothing is controversial here
- OJFord 5y agoIt happens, unless there's something surprising/unusual to be found that caused it like remnants of oily rag, or empty bottle marked 'molotov cocktail', I assume more time & energy will be spent on 'are the existing racks/containers/etc. enough to contain and isolate fires' (or no they're not, why, we thought they were). If a phone battery say catches fire it's generally not such a big deal - it's not surrounded by a million other phone batteries, and won't take four days to burn out.

- londons_explore 5y agoFire root cause analysis is tricky. There is a high probability that no precise root cause will ever be identified.
- formerly_proven 5y agoAm I naive if I expect these systems to be crammed full of sensors logged on-site and remotely?
- bjowen 5y agoNot at all. And this happened during testing for the battery’s commissioning, so there should be a lot of eyeballs on the monitoring.
- jonnycomputer 5y agoI bet people downvote more than they upvote. That would be a cool stat to see next to people's usernames in posts.
- robertwt7 5y agoYeah, I thought when I opened HN without the downvote option I was so happy (compared to browsing reddit). But then I just realise that button will appear aft 500 karma lol. So same same thing
