I have no industry wide view, but... All existing nuclear powerplants are shitty Fukushima-style pressurized light water reactors in the US, are they not? I'd have to think this company is an incumbent blocking entry of modern designs.

How about some vitriol? You know what the #1 feature of nosql is? NoDBA. I can hear you screaming you'll still need a DBA. You don't get it. You won't need an Enterprise DBA. Enterprise DBAs are almost invariably horrible blo

What can they fit in a 5.25" enclosure? I always wished a 5.25 mass storage HDD would come back on the market. How much would those hold relative to this? Hm, I'm guessing about 2.5x more data per platter, about 50% more platters.

I read that Medicaid is being used to fuel the black market pipeline. $3 copay gets you a $1000 street value opioids... Of course this is corporate welfare for the opioid manufacturers. I also read that one month 11% of Ohio's populati

Or, made an app, and are using VC funds to dump on markets forcing out incumbents, and then will hike prices. But go ahead and subscribe to your objectivist utopian view. Oh evil government, when will you learn?

"Uber is reinventing a whole market" aaaaand, that justifies... what? Murder? Blackmail? Genocide? Racketeering? Bribery? Where is your line in the sand? Wait, I know, you don't have one if you're chasing the F U Money.
