Slashdot Mirror

There is no professional context for this kind of complaint. Even before they fired her, the company had spoken loudly with their actions: Yelp obviously does not care about the material well-being of their workers. The only viable context for this kind of complaint is the forum of public discussion.

I don't see the "murderface" name anywhere in the article. Not sure what's up with that.

Anyways if bossman is upset about his address being known, he might ask virtualglobetrotting.com to remove the entry for his house. Also, we don't actually know that's his house, just that someone labeled it as such.

I think her point is that bossman lives in a rich suburb in a big house with a swimming pool, while his workers struggle to survive. It seems like a fair thing to mention. Kinda Dickensian.

If you had looked into it at all you would know that Al Gore's Montecito villa is on East Mountain Drive and while it may have an ocean view it is quite a distance from the ocean and at least 200 feet above sea level. It is definitely not on the beach.

Al Gore's house.

You mean this house, 3.5 kilometres from the beach, at an elevation of 168 metres above sea level?

...Get in the van.

"But seriously? Trying to equate especially nuc power with religion is pretty silly." No I am equating the anti-technology views of those that are not atheists with those that are.

Mighty broad brush there you re using. Perhaps there is a bit of a difference between mistrustying some "science", and outright rejecting it. A person who has issues with Nuc power, or GMO accepts some of the science, just doesn't trust it.

My fundamentalist grandparents "knew" the earth was created in October 4004 b.c.e., no science needed and completely rejected.

Regardless, there are people of all political and religious stripes. It would not be surprising to find some atheists who reject science.

But making this somehow an equivalent between atheists and fundamentalists is almost an end run toward claiming atheism is a religion.

I don't like the direction that Slashdot has taken. It is like NPR has been taken over by FOX News or MSNBC.

Its not like I actually disagree with your assessment. Slashdot does employ more clickbait than in the past. The ceaseless systemd stuff, the endless men are pigs - Women in STEM articles. I just don't care that much. I'll either click or ignore. I long ago gave up the idea of trying to control others.

Actually being worried about Nuclear energy because of Chernobyl is as bad as fearing flying because of Hindenburg.

Come on now. I'll address that odd comparison. Here is where the Hindenburg crashed:

Here is Chernobyl :

See any difference?

I might take my family to visit the site of the Hindenberg crash, where there is a memorial to the event.Maybe have a picnic. I can hardly imagine doing that at Chernobyl. There's some serious orders of magnitude of personal danger. They didn't abandon Lakehurst New Jersey after the Hindenburg crash, because there was no need to

It's why I am pro-nuc power, but have serious issues with how some try to downplay the nasty shit that has gone on. Your strange comparison of the two is an example of just that.

Fukushima should actually make people feel good. The absolutely worst case situation happened it was not the massive disaster of everyone's fears.

You do reallze that that comment is the absolute hieight of arrogant irresponsibility, don't you? People like you who tell us to feel good about disasters are a big part of why so many people are anti nuc. Hard to imagine even you looking at the disaster and thinking "Not so bad, I feel good about this" Probably the disassociation of distance there, I kind of doubt you'd feel so good about it if it happened in your city.

Nuc power can be safe. But not with that attitude. The power can be harnessed. The arrogance, politics, and contempt of people cannot.

funny, according to this http://virtualglobetrotting.co... his Swiss home is in Féchy.

And according to his biography "Starman" by Paul Trynka, Bowie hasn't lived in Switzerland since 1976. In fact he's spent most of his time between touring, in New York, London and Hamburg.

I'm sure google won't tell anyone about your interests in such things...

Many thousands of people are interested in such things, only a extremely tine percentage are interested in actually booking a flight to these locations.

Given that her house can be found In the Hamptons, an area so wealthy that there's a modestly successful comedy show featuring the area as a Doctor who caters to the wealthy, I'd say I wouldn't mind at all "occupying" the cell next to Martha Stewart...

Been there, done it. I was a computer tech on a sub

I was obsessed with the NS Savannah recently because she is such a beautiful ship - I love ships and this cargo ship looks like a yacht. Whilst I am not a fan of the Nuclear Industry in it's current form her reactor appeared to be reasonably well constructed and whilst designed to cruise at 21 knots, she outperformed her design spec by steadily cruising at 24 knots - pretty fast for a cargo ship. Check page 16 of the MARAD documentation (warning - pdf).

There is significant historical information about her operation. Until 9/11 she was part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) but her reactor was permanently disabled due to concerns she could be used as quite a convenient weapon of terror. Sadly, her hybrid design condemned her to a short operational life (10 years) and she is now a ghost ship. There are plans to make her a museum ship whilst waiting for her decommissioned reactor to cool down for eventual disassembly, but no one seems interested in the project. Despite that the seafarers Union have been working to maintain the ship by improving her general appearance.

NS Savannah's crew dispute was because the executive officers traditionally got paid more than the engineering crew on board the ship, this dispute, high running costs, low oil costs all contributed to her eventual demise. An interest group (with mailing list) is looking for photos and artefacts whist she was in operation.

lots more photos, her community organisation, glory days, historical landmark program, service history and specifications, floorplan and schematics, current status, passenger lounge, reactor control room, dry docked , and finally a flickr photo stream and a rather excellent photo essay of the NS Savannah. A little bit of history for you to enjoy.

Anyone know what the circular mounds are to the north of the base?

Fuel store? (c.f. these)
