Of course, we can make safe nuclear power plants. Already built quite a lot of them.

What was the worst nuclear power plant disaster ever? Chernobyl. After a concentrated effort of station personnel led by its own management, disabling multiple safety controls and doing dangerous experiments on the live reactor, the station finally blew up in the worst way possible: everything that could fly flew away; everything that couldn’t -
thrown into the air by fires and flew anyway. Can’t do worse even with airstrikes. Outcome after 35 years? A few thousand people dead, mostly personnel involved in the cleanup. A medium-sized ”national park” in Belarus, with a lot of wild fauna there which otherwise wasn’t seen for the last 60 years: wolves, deer, etc.

Second-worst nuclear power plant disaster? Fukushima, built in the seismically active and tsunami-prone area, with major construction faults. Actually hit by the tsunami. The body count of 1. Well, maybe, we are not sure if the guy really got sick because of the radiation. Ah, and an elevated death rate next winter because nuclear power plants in Japan were closed and heating costs increased. Not exactly a direct consequence too.

Now, what was the worst non-nuclear power plant incident? The hydro-electric power plant in China couldn't hold water after never-seen-before rainfall. 26000 people dead the same day, major destruction in the flood area.

Thank you so much, I’ll take nuclear.

If your fellow engineers ask you to sort 7 million list items only to get top 100 of them, and do it often enough for questioning their requests to make sense - RUN. Don't ask any questions, start looking for another job today. Working with peers who can't be trusted with the most basic things is unhealthy.

And this is why I wholeheartedly embrace self-service lines and cashier-less stores. Most store employees add absolutely no value to my service, equipment does the same job much better.

I guess these apps are built by small US companies or even individuals, without any assets in the EU. What exactly stops them from ignoring this GDPR request completely?

Iâ(TM)d completely support the idea of having alunch in the local restaurant in Paris or London. But in the Bay Area, or even Seattle or Boston, finding good and not a too expensive place to eat within walking distance from the office is an unlikely event. Best you can hope for is a sandwich from the street vendor, or in the cafe at best. Compare this with the in-office cafeteria with an inexpensive three-course meal, and the choice is clear.
If local businesses want to feed tech workers, the first thing to do is to start serving better food.

Sure, "other people" are well known for doing their endpoint security and never allowing another botnet to arise. Their Windows PCs, their routers, their IoT devices, other people keep them secure. An IoT-based botnet disrupting major internet services? Never happened with "other people."

Also note how evil ISPs immediately took massive action against all these users, who inadvertently run all these IoT and Windows servers at their homes. The most reliable way to get your internet service disconnected, for sure.

Sure, having insecure IoT devices is not enough, lets put some more amateur web-servers into home networks.

You inherit your parent's estate, which includes both debt and property. So you only getting a difference, debt is paid first. This includes some non-obvious things as all the Medicaid payments made to the parent after age of 55.

And then, in half of the states, adult children are on hook for their deceased parent's medical bills, if estate is not enough to cover it.

Of 8 hours work time. What was they job again? Maybe reducing all this chatter improved their productivity indeed.

But this is not like Amazon kills your entire server pool. It's just single server requiring migration or, in case of EBS root, just a restart.

A bit of difference: Tesla never intended to publish this information, and now is deprived of exclusivity.

Didn't you hear a story of a man who got his head blown off by wrong contact lens? Neither did I.

The company has drawn the ire of the American Optometric Association (AOA), which earlier this year lodged a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

I see absolutely no financial interest in people visiting AOA members for prescriptions here, none at all.

But press houses do not want to break down this mono/duopoly. They just want to profit from it too.

Couple weeks, from the previous encounters. Every other year or so some new brilliant manager comes with this ingenious idea. Looks like press houses do not punish them hard enough afterwards.
