The costs of nuclear are addressed all the time.

The problem is the nuke fanbois either ignore the costs or hand-wave them away: "Nuclear is only expensive because of protests and regulations. Next time will be different. Blah, blah, blah."

Even without considering the costs of waste and accidents, nuclear costs four times as much as wind or solar and has a 20-year lead time.

Tens of thousands of barrels of toxic waste were dumped near Catalina Island, but the vast majority are non-radioactive chemical waste.

DDT leaking from the barrels is a much bigger problem than nuclear waste and shows up in the local sea lion population.

Anyway, there's nothing realistic that we can do about it since any attempt to retrieve the barrels will likely make things worse.

Given the high standards this administration sets for contractors, I'm sure there's no reason to ask more questions.

However, it's because I believe many great consumer technology leaps were driven by porn: photography, home video, the internet, the smart phone, etc.

The smartphone??

I mean it was convincingly invented, if not widely used by IBM in 1993. It was made to look very impressive (albeit wired) in the late 90s by Olivetti. And of course PDAs approaching from the other end being more computer and less data. J2ME phones came out which were a pile of shit. Maybe you could get a shit game on them. I don't really know if Blackberries count: they were messaging first but did they have any generality beyond that? There was of course the legendary N900, and some impressive (for the time) yet deeply wonky Symbian devices.Then in 2007, Apple came out with a rather good dumbphone which was turned into a smartphone by Cydia, which Apple then got in on the game a year later (which is a bit weird if you think about it).

None of those were porn. It was all about connectivity and messaging and nerdy shit especially businessnerd shit (except the N900 which was real nerd shit). Then fashion, then just plain old usefulness.

I mean that's not to say people don't watch porn on a phone on a plane (shit head in 23A knows what I'm talking about you utter wanker, but not in that case literally thank god), but I don't there's a convincing case that porn had a significant role. Pocket computers were obviously useful, even more so with a data connection, and people had been trying to get them working for years before it finally took off.

Is this true for animated films too?

Yes.

What about hybrid live action and animated?

Yes.

Animated films that are CGI based rather than hand drawn/painted?

Yes.

Hand drawn that are computer "painted"?

Yes.

Once again showing the world you guess and bullshit with authority while not doing the bare minimum to educate yourself. Or do you think 4MB is 20% of 84MB?

If you're going to "help" someone, be right for a change. The screwed up symbol was the multiplication symbol. It's 20x less, or 5% of the original memory use. Stop spreading your ignorance.

I remember it was a Shakespeare play. "full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing"

If features that don't impact you and you can ignore while browsing impact you it's not a dedicated mode you need, it's ADHD medication.

If closing firefox do not release the memory, it is either not firefox fault (while all browser use lot of memory, but firefox now actually used less than chrome) and you have other things consuming memory, or firefox is not existing, check your process list and see if there is no stuck firefox process

We're sick of GNU Linux. We're making NEW Linux.

I've never met a highly skilled person who is perfect. Neither have you, you may just pretend you have.

No one said rust is magic. But but attempting to claim that whole world of memory safety issues being resolved is somehow countered by a single vulnerability is not just dumb, it's mindbogglingly stupid.

Rust isn't perfect. But claiming the old tools were is just spectacularly ignorant, especially given the recent history of CVEs related to those "well-working, _old_ tools".

Rather than your dumb fucking US vs THEM approach, how about you advocate for both sides to improve their code?

So if you restart Firefox (at which point the process and its resources are released by the OS) and it doesn't fix your memory problems, what makes you say Firefox has a leak?

And just what do you suppose a browser that already browses and has a plugin system to customise your browsing do to improve the browser?

People who don't understand history think the idea of a currency free from any manipulation by an economic agenda is a good thing. The reality is very different. You only need to look to major economic depressions during times when some countries still had currencies backed by gold or silver. The inability to control the economy through monetary supply caused those specific countries to suffer from economic depression far longer than other countries.

The long timing and severity of the great depression for the USA, France, and Belgium is widely acknowledged to be caused by them switching back to a gold standard after WWI. In fact several countries floated their currency to enact economic controls (France) specifically because there was no other way for them to get out of depression.

But please, tell us who much you want to fuck yourself with your silly math cosplaying as a currency.
