If the point you're trying to make is "No, because some recycling is done as advertised, and therefore recycling in general isn't a scam" then agreed, but that's not what was asked. The question you responded "

All you gave us to go on was that you created a programming language (kudos) and wrote "a paper" with no further context as to why it merited submission and/or what it entailed other than it was rejected and you were nonplus

Congrats on the launch OP. Other's have already covered this so for you (OP) this will be redundant, but I do want to chime in regarding the general trend of apps/services everywhere (not just here on HN) focusing too much on the

Correct, it also misses the core point of the discussion: SSD's and HDD's are unreliable cold storage long term. Cheap HDD's are better than Cheap SSD's (debatable if you're willing to spring for high end parts, but

Agreed, this is a thinly-veiled ad for sliplane, even if I generally agree with the sentiment regarding serverless (though wouldn't go as far as calling it a scam, it has it's usecases, just not for me)

Hetzner is a great service, but what you're pitching is in no way a solution tailored for the aforementioned usecase. We're talking long term cold storage backup medium, as in meant to last many years. SX65, Storagebox, and Backbl

A 1st party ad is still an ad, though in isolation I do I agree that it's quite mild all considered. With context however (this being Microsoft's doing, and all the AI/Adware/telemetry/darkpatterns they're cram

Correct, and absolutely worth noting, but point still stands. Had no intention of misleading, I called it a 6TB drive because that's what they're called (technically 6.25TB if we really want to get pedantic). Whether using LTO&#x2

Not surprsing. Flash is for hot/warm storage, not for cold storage, but using literal bottom of the bargin-bin barrel no-name drives that are already highly worn really doesn't tell us anything. Even if these were new or in powere
