I do not think the feminazis are "left". They are basically everybodies enemy, as the only ones they think deserve any recognition or power is themselves. A classical fanatical splinter-group that will eventually implode from the sheer concentrated stupid it radiates.
I am not an AC hiding behind anonymity like the scum you are. And who says moderators cannot be morons as well? Incidentally, he is now at "0, Insightful" meaning he got modded down again, because a smart moderator undid the mistake the other one made.
There has been a lot of that going around, lately. Mathematics is actually pretty careful to remember its heroes, male and female, but Ada Lovelace is not among them. Other women are. This is a rather strong indicator of what is going on here.
Au contraire. Plutonium is the most deadly substance known to man and it is exactly because of its radiation. Sure, you need to breath it in for that, but as long as one gram powdered finely can reliably cause lung-cancer in a mullion people, it is not safe to have lying around.
More examples of engineering disasters that are or were widely used: VHS, RaspberryPi and a lot of others. Most people are stupid and Java Coders are no exception. Success is not a valid measure of quality.
Not yet, but it is dying and will continue to do so for a long, long time. The problem is not even the mediocre language itself and the incredible bloat and complexity most of its uses come with, but that basically anybody competent learns something else. Java is the language of incompetent "coders" and prospective employers are slowly wising up.
Fascinating. I do agree that for somebody as mentally deranged as you apparently are, it is quite an accomplishment to be economically self-sufficient. And no, I have zero ambition to be anybodies "hero" in this repulsive fashion, i.e. by "keeping them down". And while I have not been formally bankrupt, I have had a "close to zero money and no paying job" situation as well two times in my life. I _know_ how easy it is to get into that situation. I also have some very valuable skills, so it was easy to get out of that again, but many people do not have this advantage.
A look at actual facts shows that many people cannot provide for themselves and for some of them that is a long-term situation. A friend of mine currently is in that: He has a recently developed anxiety-issue that prevents him from working in a room with other people when he cannot leave at any time he wants to. This is in no way his fault, and he is willing to work. Yet with the skills he has, there are no opportunities and no employers that will let him work from home. Also, therapy (the only thing that helps) has a predicted time to cure of at least several additional years (he already has done 2 years of it, and it did help a bit, but things are going very slowly). So, is this somebody that people "like me" want to "keep down"?
That is pretty funny, as 1kg of burnt nuclear fuel is enough to make a city like New York uninhabitable for a few 1000 years, while 300kg of old solar panels are pretty harmless as all the "bad" metals are fused in the silicon and it is minuscule amounts in addition. Unless you, you know, put them in a river for the water to grind down over a few decades, that is exactly where these metals will stay.
Indeed. Also, the toxic metals in solar panels are in the silicon, they are no just being washed out by rain or something. This stuff is in fact better contained that most radioactive waste.
But what about in 10'000 years? Or in 100'000? Or the few 100 Million years that anything containing Plutonium will take to become somewhat less dangerous?
Well, disregarding your comment about lazy people (am a lazy person, but my finances are in a pretty good state and all that from real work, no speculation, sales or other ways to rip off people or society), I do agree on most things you say. In particular unskilled and low-skill jobs are vanishing and they do so globally. And there is a large group of people that cannot do anything else and it is not due to a lack of education. The talents they have just do not stretch to anything more complicated.
The idea that anybody can be anything they want is not only slightly insane, it is also one that only people with not too good mental skills can have. If you have ever seen a friend really struggling with mathematics or engineering subjects, full time and with all they had and with help from friends and they still did not get it, then you realize that we all have mental limits and for many of us they are pretty low. Same goes for physical limits, some people are just not good with their hands. What are these people to do if there are no jobs that match what they can do? Sell their organs?
Now thinking that all these people are _of_ _course_ at fault themselves is the mentally lazy way out (and that is one kind of laziness I cannot stand either), because then it is not your problem. That stance is fundamentally inhumane.
You misunderstand what the purpose of a safety net is. Probably because you are arrogant and stupid enough to think that _you_ will certainly not need one long-term and those that do be damned. Well, I can only wish for you to actually need it and if you do, then think of this exchange. Also reminds me of Ayn Rand that preached any kind of dependency on welfare was the devil....until she needed (and took) it herself.
You people do not live what you preach. You are liars and delusional. And you are evil because you see nothing wrong with people that are desperately in need of help not getting it.

The book is far too light to do that. Most of the momentum goes into the chest.
Indeed. Most Java "coders" live in a filter-bubble and have not realized that it does not get much lower in skill than they are.

No moderation option "-1 Moron", so posting it instead.
I am very well aware of the quantities, but you are not.

You are as clueless as you are naive.
Hehehehe, funny!
Indeed. Although if that book had stopped the bullet, fibrillation, broken ribs and as a result, death, would still have been a real possibility.
And physical reality is utterly merciless.

The Empire obviously decided to park it here and then forgot all about it...

Intentionally misunderstanding something just makes you look stupid.
That is pretty funny, as 1kg of burnt nuclear fuel is enough to make a city like New York uninhabitable for a few 1000 years, while 300kg of old solar panels are pretty harmless as all the "bad" metals are fused in the silicon and it is minuscule amounts in addition.

No. Works on a different principle.
Indeed. Also, the toxic metals in solar panels are in the silicon, they are no just being washed out by rain or something. This stuff is in fact better contained that most radioactive waste.
Nuclear is "clean"? Apparently you are completely unaware that one reliably way to improve on "toxic" is "toxic and radioactive".
But what about in 10'000 years? Or in 100'000? Or the few 100 Million years that anything containing Plutonium will take to become somewhat less dangerous?

BTW, love the Marie Antoinette faux quote!
These numbers are pathetic. Sounds much more like the stats a 3rd world country would have.

Possibly. But that would be a criminal act in the EU, punishable by up to 2 years imprisonment. So I doubt they will use that data.
