That's weird! HN links are usually pretty stable- maybe backend tweaks were made. At any rate- I think that it's likely far easier to deal with waste that can be put in a barrel and placed somewhere, rather than waste that diffuses into the atmosphere and stays there permanently. An ideal waste disposal site would probably be a landfill in some unpopulated endorheic basin somewhere, so that there is no risk of contamination of waterways.
