"An insider at the bank, a self-professed fan of the technology"

Lets see how much of a fanboy he is when HE gets replaced by it. And yes, it probably is a man as psychopathy tends to be more common in males.

It does have a few minor use cases if for example you want to do something in a large window while keeping an eye on another one underneath, but yeah, generally its more annoying that useful. Windows did it for a long time too, think it was 8 that finally binned it but not 100% on that.

It was probably installed long before he rocked up. The fact that people running a weapons facility think its appropriate to use ANY kind of web based collaboration system or even have the facility connected to the internet AT ALL says a lot about the kind of mouth breathing morons they've put in place to run the IT systems there.

Interesting thought experiment there - if a piece of sheet paper was somehow deorbited at orbital velocity would it burn up in instant or would it just drift down?

"wage slave" is a pretty old term. Yeah, some people overegg things to get sympathy but its hardly a new use of the word.

... will still believe that Cloud is somehow magical and immune from outages despite plenty of examples to the contrary, particularly from Azure in the last few years.

Like a lot of words in english, slave can have different nuanced meanings in different contexts. Its not reserved just for people enslaved or their ancestors so please don't pretend otherwise unless you think for example master-slave tty's are example of kernel cruelty.

Dunno, Gummy Bears?

Or maybe it breaks down into water and C02 which has 1/28th the warming potential of methane. Well done on completely missing the point.

Yes, it wasn't. Next?

Go have a think and youll figure it out.

I wouldn't trust a civil shipping company to maintain a nuclear reactor to a sufficient standard for it to be safe, particularly some of the dodgier firms flying a flag of convenience. Also civil ships have an unfortunately habit of sinking quite often so by now there would probably be dozens or even hundreds of decaying reactors with the minimum shielding they could get away with on the ocean floor - an enviromental disaster waiting to happen.

The left deliberately conflated nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons. Yes, there was plutonium produced in some civil reactors back in the 50s but there was no reason to still campaign against nuclear power in the 80s like CND did. It was just anti science ignorance masquering as enviromental concerns.

... is that methane only has a half life of about 10 years in the atmosphere. Unfortunately N20 is about 100 years, not that the spaced out morons around my area getting high from catering canisters of the stuff give a damn.

Oh FFS, you really are as thick as mince. Ad Hominem means a deliberate attack against a person, not against something they said or a corp.

"Last time I checked, adding EV charging after-the-fact doesn't penetrating the foundation"

And what? How does that change the ability of the guy on the 3rd floor to be able to charge his car in the street?

"EV charging can be added after-the fact without disturbing the actual building"

And where does the car park?

"20% of your parking spots because remember"

What parking spots? What fucking planet do you live on that you think all apartment complexes and inner city homes come with parking other than wherever you can find on street? Go get a clue.
