Or you could google it yourself and find out that the main problem is apparently that the insurance and other legal requirements were created before such small reactors existed, and the NRC is trying to get the rules changed so that they won't have the same requirements as multi-gigawatt reactors.

Oh, give me a drone where the camels all roam
Where the Sikhs and the Sunnis all pray
Where often is heard a discouraging word

One word answer: Barnum. Because there will be people out there who don't know about ad blockers, and they are also more likely to be naive enough to fall for the really slimy ads. You might even say it's better for that class of super bottom-feeder advertiser because now they don't have to pay for ad views to people too smart to ever buy their product.

It's not that they're using "cheap parts". It's that the signal from those little solar-powered tin cans whizzing around in the sky is so weak that adding a notch filter to increase selectivity would significantly affect the ability to receive the signal at all. And they want to drop this elephant right next to it.
But hey, they paid their donations to the Party, right?
People who had to have the term "your basket" explained to them.
I once worked on a project which used cash acceptors to pay an automated gas station. You know, feed it a $20 bill and it credits you with $20 in payment. I was doing the assembly language code for the embedded system that talked to the device, the outsourced Indians were doing the stuff that did accounting part.
I showed one of the Indian programmers a $2 bill and his face turned white. Well, as white as was possible.
Because there are background checking companies that have a much easier time looking up the work and education history of US citizens, and a good company will use them for direct hires. The outsourced guy is probably a contractor (bypassing the direct hire checks), and (if he even left India) he can just hop right back and vanish into the crowd.
At the very least, you'll find out when Canada Day is. (BTDT, but it was a Canadian company that had bought out a local company a few years earlier, so I guess that means *I* was the outsourced programmer?)

So he makes this book doing the Old Testament, and makes scenes of minifigs "begatting" (there's a lot of that going on in the OT), and the Sams Club buyer has a problem with it. So the author removes those scenes.
Meanwhile, the parental shitstorm stirring crew goes about spreading info about how there are all these sex scenes, and they astroturf a bunch of complaints without actually looking at the version that is being sold. Then someone else at Sams Club decides that it needs to be pulled because of all the complaints from the idiot busybodies.
(I wonder if how much brick house was in those minifig sex scenes.)
Math and lotteries only don't work out if you base your math on the idea that $100,000,000 is worth 100,000,000 x $1.
A lot of math doesn't work if you make it up from gut instinct, and completely ignore that the $100,000,000 is effectively $100,000,000 x.000000005. IIRC, the Texas Lottery has a 50/45/5 division of the money it takes in, with the 5% going to the retailer who sells the ticket, and 45% going to the state and the costs of running the lottery. So every dollar you put in gives you an effective payback of 50 cents. Some people happen to win big payouts, but it is intentionally a zero-sum situation, and most people won't even break even. For every million dollar winner, there are two million losers who lost their dollar.
To paraphrase WOPR, "The only way to win is to run the game."
In particular, IIRC, the first release of Minecraft happened just a few days before the Infiminer source was released. Not only that, but Infiminer = C++, Minecraft = Java.

It is official; Netcraft confirms: Minecraft is finished
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Minecraft community when IDC confirmed that Minecraft market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all games. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Minecraft has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Minecraft is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Minecraft's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Minecraft faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Minecraft because Minecraft is finished. Things are looking very bad for Minecraft. As many of us are already aware, Minecraft continues to lose market share. Red lava flows like a river of blood.
Minecraft is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant announcements from long time Minecraft developer Notch only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Minecraft is finished.
All major surveys show that Minecraft has steadily declined in market share. Minecraft is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Minecraft is to survive at all it will be among indy game dilettante dabblers. Minecraft continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Minecraft is done.

Multiplying by 29 isn't that hard, you just multiply by 30 (which is essentially multiplying by 3), then subtract one of whatever you're multiplying.
