Yeah you could for example point at the trans panic as the reason why Trump is President not once but twice because without that moral panic he couldn't have won but you'd also have to ignore all the voter suppression cheating and the sabotage the Republicans have done to the economy and the Republicans packing the courts allowing Trump to commit multiple crimes and get away with it and and and...

The Democrats insisting on running a woman when the country has made it crystal clear that they do not want a woman at top of ticket didn't help either.

Basically every single system had to collapse in order to make a has been game show host with 28 credible rape accusations president. Again..

So yeah you have multiple causes for a disaster a lot of times.

But take any one of those causes out and the disaster goes away. So I don't think it's unfair to say those things caused the disaster.

And in this case Iran is a relatively poor country that was trying to do a theocratic dictatorship by America in order to secure influence in the Middle East so it's not like they have a lot of say in reducing climate change. It's mostly a matter of the United states, the wealthier states of Europe and China. And you can hardly blame them for their corruption if you are an American since, well you caused it.

Of course pointing all this out is not going to endear you to Americans. We don't like to think about the consequences of our actions.

Assuming the land where forests have already been cleared for palm oil production are now used for data centers, organguatns won't lose any more of their homes.

Stop using the word treason when you don't know what it means. Article III, Section 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

If we don't have a 30 style crash. In addition to basically completely deregulating Wall Street and investment in general and all the other structural economic problems we are all just kind of pretending aren't there over and over and over again we are seeing crooks let off the hook by the current administration for no discernible reason except the blisteringly obvious one.

We are basically speedrunning a repeat of the lead up to world war II only this time we have nuclear weapons. But I'm sure it'll be fine right? Right?

It's the same stupid fucking pattern over and over again where you have wealthy elites who are well respected by the public and have control of the local media so the journalists will not discuss them critically.

There's nothing magic about being Japanese. Corruption and malfeasance are just things that human beings do everywhere.

The only country I have seen that I have the slightest faith in their ability to safely run nuclear reactors as France and that's because when France's ruling class tried to raise the retirement age to 62 there were riots in the streets.

I know those things don't seem connected but they are. It shows that the public there is not likely to let their betters run roughshod over them like America and Japan and frankly 99% of the rest of the world does.

The problem here is that elites can cause enormous disasters by taking huge risks that they are not personally culpable for and then get away with it because we have a different set of rules for them then we do for everybody else.

That is not by any stretch of the imagination in uncommon setup in the world. Frankly France is the odd man out here.

In what way has copy-past been well defined since 1984. What is it you're copying and what is it you're pasting. In 1984 it was easy, that was text. It's not 1984. It's 2025. What is your text? Does it have formatting? Does it contain unicode characters? How does the target app handle the discrepancy. Are you copying the words, the underlying character codes which make them, the look of them, in what format is that define?

Precisely none of this is well-defined, in any OS from any vendor, largely because in 1984 no one could envisage the kind of thing that is being copied or pasted.

And even then Copy-Paste is a tool with an end goal in mind. Increasingly that end goal is to get text into an AI system so it makes perfect sense to offer a shortcut in that process.

And marginally less profit for the plant owners...

If the people responsible for the disaster were currently rotting in prison it would be one thing but I keep coming back to the fact that the public blamed the engineers and let the CEOs off without even so much as a trial..

You do. "We" (meaning the normal general users of the world) don't. Install a special purpose tool for the job like Notepad++ for your strange edge case of needing to manually write just text to a file.

In all seriousness though your post gave me a chuckle. Reminded me of the suicide booths in Futurama.

Now back in reality, what they'll do is blank ban all AI other than CoPilot and force users to use CoPilot, since Microsoft provides AI tools that specific follow data classification systems in place in the corporate Windows world, and that includes those used by their cloud services ... services that very much approved for use in government, healthcare and financial organisations, and explicitly compliant with laws such as HIPPA.

Now repeat after me: What you as a pleb can get is not the same thing a corporation or government gets.

Sidenote: I wish this was different. I work at such a sensitive corporation and as such I have CoPilot shoved down my throat while literally every other service is banned. We're stuck using the worst one.

Same with wolves where the whole idea of the "alpha" was a misunderstanding from one guy who even went back and corrected the observation since he initially made it watching captive animals, in the wild they're just families, the "leadership" observed was parents to children not the big dog in charge.

Recommended by? I'm not sure if you understand how industry works but nothing "recommended" is ever done.

Nuclear reactors don't have hydrogen reformers. I'm not sure what words you think you are using but the IAEA gives guidance of many ways to deal with hydrogen and the word "reforming" doesn't come into it. The most common way of dealing with hydrogen build-up is venting it via FCVS to atmosphere, that includes in the USA.

Fukushima had an FCVS, they tried to use it. It failed to function.
It was designed in the USA, by GE, who in their wisdom decided this safety system shared a power source with the systems that are designed to prevent the build-up of hydrogen.

By the way those awesome US plants? Well they went through a panic retrofit of their venting systems after the Fukushima incident exposed their shit design.

Yes because different companies in different industries in a different country under different laws and different government and different culture is entirely representative of the the Japanese nuclear industry...

Thank god someone is still sane.

Supporting someone else's desired feature is not a bug. If there's 15 year old bugs, quite possibly no one gives a shit about them. Have you considered contributing to the project?

And read up on the history of the Fukushima disaster. You could read up on the long history of engineers warning that a large tsunami was going to cause a meltdown and that it could be easily prevented by reinforcing and building up the wall that protected the area in order to buy time and then having off-site generators that could be brought on to prevent the meltdown from happening.

The problem here isn't capitalism it's fascism. Specifically it's a ruling elite that is completely above the law. As the saying goes fascism requires an in-group that the law protects but does not bind and an outgroup that the law binds and does not protect. Japan has those things.

The engineers were in the out group and the CEOs were in the in group. So the CEOs could ignore the engineers warnings and get away with it but the engineers get blamed for causing a disaster they predicted and warned against.

This is the problem with having a ruling class. They can do bad things to you and get away with it because they are above the law.

Just because you don't like social problems doesn't mean social problems don't exist.
