  2. So only 25% more than background? on 32,000 Workers At Fukushima No. 1 Got High Radiation Dose, Tepco Data Show (japantimes.co.jp) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just being alive exposes you to about 4 mSv a year of background radiation.

  3. In the US nuclear workers have a yearly limit of 50 mSv

    > The blockchain is around 80 GB now (including the index), and growing by ~100 MB per day. Larger blocks will only make that worse, and will almost certainly knock yet more nodes offline.

    0.12.0 has pruning that drops the disk requirements back down to less than 10 gigs.

  7. Mircea Popescu is on the same level as Bennett. Not going to read anything by him.

  8. But Open Source doesn't add anything. Sure I have the source, but if I actually use it and make my own, it wont be covered by the same certification so there's no way I could use it without leaving myself wide open.

  9. So, who is going to pay for the FDA certification?

  10. Invent a time machine and go back years. It's been cracked since the first time they started charging money.

    > This suggests something about the quality of the source's and the submitter's fact checking ability.

    Check all of his submissions, they're all trying to astroturf his shitty 'news' site

  14. Instead of busting company executives and engineers that caused the leak, the CSP arrested protesters who had draped banners on the headquarters of the California Public Utilities Commission.

    Because the corporation has already been charged. What's your point here? You're saying if somebody does something illegal, everybody else gets a free pass to do illegal things to them? That's stupid.
