I agree that this notion that companies make these decisions is bad, bad on the grounds that it's people working for those companies that make the decisions, they hide themselves away, but the company itself isn't doing…

pffft - 901 Bus to Broadmeadows station, then jump onto the train to Southern Cross Total cost: $AU2.85 Takes FOREVER though :)
Microsoft don't release the costs as you know, but Compute and Storage for Free Tiers: Hosting code for over 150 million developers and processing over 2 billion GitHub Actions (CI/CD) workflows a month requires…

Considering it's random characters being typed, and a skilled typist who is aiming to accurately type words out can hit between 70 and 100 words per minute - I would say that my monkeys could "type" an order of…
Just FTR - 1 character per second is glacially slow - it's 12 wpm - fine for (slow) transcription, but the monkey typing exercise doesn't require them to know what they are typing out

Should people disengage with Hn because they don't like your opinion?

There's little point in me telling the world how I like my dinnercooked, unless the world both understands exactly what I mean, and cares
I mean - if there are multiple sdcards in the device - and they each contain a hidden partition - how is the X-RAY going to determine that the reported 5GB (or whatever) isn't matching the devices actual 7GB (for…
Advertising is every site's last resort - but it's the only damn thing that pays the bills
Wait - what? You cannot buy them because they are dumping them??????
I am not surprised - I am, however, surprised how little people pay attention to the risks involved with the practice.

> We also know how to get rid of it entirely, leaving only material that will decay to safe levels within hundreds of years In the interests of fairness, is like a citation showing that
My understanding is that this material remains toxic to life for thousands, to tens of thousands of years. Safe means that it's stored such that there's no harm to the environment for that lifetime. In all "bury it"…
I said from the start that the argument you presented was fallacious, and all you did was present it, now, because you have no other argument, you're working on aggressive attacks. You're on your own now. Bye.
It's not. The time frame we are talking about invalidates the "safety" because the earth's crust moves and warps, which allows water to access that sort of storage
You're repeating the problem - You're saying that there is less waste to deal with which magically means it's safe. You do understand that don't you?
I've never understood how people think "less" solves the issue, it's not negligible and asking to increase the number of plants surely increases the waste. Reprocessing, isn't infinite. There's going to be waste to deal…
