You're not getting what I'm saying. If there was a volcano and factor 9 quake combined, then you have something already much bigger to worry about than the destruction of a nuclear plant. The death toll would be caused by that volcano and quake, then, by more than a factor of 1000, not by the destruction of the 4gen nuclear plant.
In the real world, we deal with risk-assessments, not hyperbole.
No, I'm pointing out Japan shows us how foolish your statement is. And how that applies to anything within 100 meters above sea level along the Ring of Fire.
It's ok that you think we've managed the risk. But we can objectively state, based on actual standards in use, that we haven't.
Easy to say when you don't live on the Ring of Fire near the coast, pardner.
Look, there will be quakes and there will be massive tsunamis and there will be sea level rises and no amount of It Never Happened Before will prevent that.
And that's without the active volcanoes. None of which care about your "safety standards".
this research was actually completed during the Harper Regime in Canada, but was intentionally silenced until now.
It is as bad as people have been telling you.
Oh, and if you're a billionaire, you could snap up all the coal firms in the world right now for $150 million and just sit on the coal, because we need to keep all fossil fuels in the ground, unless you want your waterfront home to be underwater.
Combine this with paper skin sensors and you have the perfect solution to Saudi victims of drone attacks. Cheaper, faster, able target your wireless more easily, and then waste money on fixing up the victims afterwards, because you forgot that location does not imply the person is the same as the one you think "owns" it.
Look, we've had CPU GPU level access to all your chipsets and even the controllers for your I/O since the 1980s, and we maintain those capabilities even today.
It's not that the FBI can't get access, it's that they have to request that access through another agency, and half of what caused 9/11 was FBI vs CIA vs mil TLD interagency distrust and backstabbing.
They just need to escalate the request through channels and use the tools we have for this purpose.
But they're too lazy and they don't want to admit they need help from other agencies, so they'd rather violate the Constitution themselves and steal all your data without legal specific warrants.
Nuclear fission reactors located near geologically unstable fault lines and within 100 year storm surges and tsunamis (which happen every 2-3 years nowadays due to climate change pumping more energy into the system) have the capacity to irradiate millions of hectares and kill millions of people.
Isn't that and their tax-subsidized building and operation more important, given how large the contractor kickbacks to politicians are for nuclear?
Because it's a 'give us everything we might feel like' court judiciary order, not a panel of federal judges limiting the search appropriately.
Let me put this simply for you. The Constitution allows me to only search your home. Or your car. Or your phone. Or your kid's backpack. But I have to specifically limit what I ask for, and for each thing, I need a legal reason to search and I can't just EMPTY YOUR HOUSE, YOUR CAR, YOUR PHONE, AND YOUR KIDS BACKPACKS and use all of it to find anything I feel like. I have LIMITS.
The problem is Apple is saying "where is the limited court order" and the Stasi is saying "we want to take everything and not tell you what it's for and why we need it" and then they burn your house and your car down and sell your kids' backpack contents on eBay in Japan.
Well I do have an old JPEG of one of your diapers with some code I wrote on it, but your mom's in the pic, and since she's not wearing anything, it might not be legal to upload it...
You UID suggests you haven't been here long enough to remember that. You couldn't even make that claim in 2002.
I forgot the password to my eskimo.com old account, I had a 4 digit UID. I was rolling code before you were in diapers. Let's shift our bits in our two registers, pull from the magnetic cassette tape, and print to the plotter, shall we?
Always on is just plain fiscally irresponsible. Only a communist would support wasting energy like this.
Or a greedy Capitalist with shares in the energy industry.
Stupid comes in all forms.
No, that makes no economic sense. For example, I have many hundreds of thousands in energy firms, yet I own six solar panels located elsewhere and my electric utility is 98 percent green. It still makes no sense for me as an individual consumer to choose an imperfect good that wastes energy, and increases my utility bill.
Only a communist supports electric vampires. True capitalists demand more efficient replacements, with lower opportunity costs.
About time these ghost electricity vampires were dealt with. That said, after replacing most of my major appliances with top rated Energy Star ones (dropping my utility bill 20 percent), I found a lot of the energy waste is going to the cable box for my TV.

And a volcano or factor 9 ring of fire quake combined with a 250 foot tsunami cares nothing about your safety protocols.
I'm sorry, in the real world, stuff happens.

Cheaper too.
We make fusion reactors here on campus, it's not that hard, plus there are a few space companies nearby.
nobody cares about anything outside the US.
try reading next time.
I see you're in denial. There's a cure for that.

Do you get it NOW?
It's pretty simple.
Get A Warrant.
A court order.
Stop trying to end run and slurp up all the info.
As all of us who are aware of the actual capabilities know, it's not like there aren't other illegal means for them to get the info anyway.
They just want to not have to do their jobs as prescribed by the US Constitution and get all our stuff for free.
No. Follow the legal prescribed procedures and stop acting like the Stasi.
We all know GitHub makes Pirate Bay look like a loser.
I was rolling code before you were in diapers.
You have nothing to support that claim.

Which part of #RIPTwitter don't you GET?

Wow. 3 posts so far and they were all about a certain part of the male anatomy. Congrats slashdot.
Remember when Slashdot was for techies not 10 yo boys?
Why would I buy an adapter, charger, or light from Amazon?
It's cheaper to get them from real providers.
(yes, I live in Seattle)
Electricity prices depend on where you are. Some regions are cheap, some are very expensive. Your mileage may vary.

I think you mean India.
Car sales are up 4000 percent in India, and as a result, you can't see a thing.
Time to end all fossil fuel subsidies and exemptions, including depreciation and fleet discounts.
That said, hybrids don't help if you drive further distances, or burn up fuel while not moving.
I didn't think they existed. After all I can't see them. Unless I can put it in my pocket I don't believe it exists.
Here's a pocket black hole.
Put it in your pocket.
(steps back as implosion occurs)
There!
Now help me assemble this space gravitational wave observatory using plastic blocks ...
