The article seems to make it clear that the refrigeration requirement was known from the start (how could it not be?) but that the amount of steel required had to be increased substantially to avoid creep in the ice.

It's sort of a good example of the counterpoint at the same time though: other than melanoma, skin cancer is pretty minor in general (and having it is correlated with increased life expectancy!) so combined with how rare melanoma is, I

A privacy policy isn't typical for code that you build and run yourself on your own machine; it's something that services publish to explain what they will do with the data you send them.
