IDK why you'd think a thread about how we treat and handle nuclear reactors in an article about decommissioning nuclear reactors should suddenly be about people that die from natural disasters. More people die from car accidents and he

Gen II reactors everywhere are subject to war and sabotage. Places that are currently safe aren't always safe. Fukushima was a demonstration that these reactors can still melt down. It doesn't take exactly fukushima to cause a m

Name a Gen II plant that was upgraded to a Gen III, III+ or Gen IV plant. There's a reason new Gen II plants cannot be built, and all the regulations and safety reports in the world will not fix the fundamental design flaw of these pla

Hmm, I may have been too vague. When I stated "these" I was talking specifically about the Fukushima plants and not Japan's policy for reactors nationally. Are they planning on restarting the Fukushima plants? I didn't

People assume it, I did not. Nor did I claim it. It is a non-sequitur because we aren't talking about deaths from natural disasters.

I pretty much fully agree. I'm not actually arguing that Gen II plants need to be decommissioned immediately. I'm arguing that they need to be decommissioned and ideally replaced as soon as possible. The process that takes can lo

Right, and ultimately Japan has decided the safest and I assume cheapest route with these reactors wasn't to rebuild but rather to decommission. These reactors can be made safer, but they all still have a foundational design flaw which

Got my gens mixed up, so thanks. But I think my point is still valid. These Gen II reactors should be retired and replaced.

Yup. OpenJDK is one of the best success stories of this. Up until Java 9, they would release once features were complete. But that meant there were years between the 7 and 8 release and even more years between the 8 and 9 release. The ind

Fukushima. It was a Gen 1 plant which already has the issue that a thermal runaway is possible. There were other examples of this happening like TMI. The backup for Fukushima was onsite generators which were flooded and ultimately failed

I'd also point out that the latest versions of consoles are simply glorified x86 machines. When viewed in that light, you can evaluate if you want a PC with a pretty decent graphics card for the price point. These are literally x86 AM

The issue is that modern software businesses aren't encouraged, in the slightest, to care about polishing products. The company leaders only care about features shipped. That's it. They only polish those features if they are shi

I'd assume it's still a copyright violation if you copied and distributed the shredded copy. The way I arrive at that is imagine you add just 1 pixel of static to a video, that'd still be a copyright violation. Now imagine y

The issue is that of copyright law WRT to derivative works. Machine transformations on original works does not create a new copyright for the person that directed the machine transformation. That's why you can't pirate a bunch o

That's the depressing part. I keep looking for something I could potential run the likes of kde mobile and maybe waydroid on, but there's really just nobody doing this. You are basically locked into a vendor kernel if it's

I'm sorry, first link is from an organization dedicated to this fringe theory. Second link is pretty dated and I wonder if more recent studies back this finding.
