I dislike her for very specific reasons

Ah you see, his mistake was he made it fungible, he should have made it non fungible. That way he would have been protected!

When they got swept away by the water with their bikes, the movie switches to a montage of them getting the bikes transported to their garage. There they tear down the bikes, replace damage parts, do paint jobs. With a full 10 minute part about how they troubleshooted a misfiring issue on one of the bikes and the full rebuild of a carburateur. There's even a human interest part where they argue over replacing a part, some of them want to replace the part, others want to attempt a repair. Till one of the wraiths shares a story about how they were a kid working on old bikes with their dad and his dad never believed in throwing parts out, he could always repair it. So they contact a necromancer, which revives the dad for him to fix the part with his dad. And then the movie resumes like normal.

I don't know why anybody would ever try new technologies again. If it isn't a HUGE success (and even sometimes when it is), companies drop support almost immediately making your investment useless.

For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could -- or should -- force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another. Considering the compelling record evidence about the physical, mental, and emotional impact of unwanted pregnancies on the women who are forced by law to carry them to term (as well as on their other living children), the Court finds that, until the pregnancy is viable, a woman’s right to make decisions about her body and her health remains private and protected, i.e., remains her business and her business alone. When someone other than the pregnant woman is able to sustain the fetus, then -- and only then -- should those other voices have a say in the discussion about the decisions the pregnant woman makes concerning her body and what is growing within it

Some random Forbes article? No because what kind of source is that? I checked their sources and they were all dead.

Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage

They have caskets that last for at least 1800 years today, with better shit to come. The whole point is to store it in a location without any water.

The timelines you state are also totally incorrect. The EPA specifically states 10.000 years in their standards.

Edit: I read the Forbes article, it's anti-nuclear propaganda without any sources.

Read this instead: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-waste/radioactive-wastes-myths-and-realities

Well those timelines aren't correct. The EPA says 10.000 years and that's for the entire storage solution. It doesn't matter that the caskets decay after a 2000 years, once the entire thing is encased in rock.

The concrete degradation doesn't really apply, because caskets are specifically made with longevity in mind and aren't just made out of concrete. Causes for concrete degradation is also exposure to water and mechanical stress. That doesn't apply in a long term storage facility.

And we still have examples of Roman concrete around these days, made 2000 years ago. There are also natural nuclear reactors which are contained, so we know in principle containment is possible.

It may take 100.000 years for something to become completely inert, but that doesn't mean it isn't safe much earlier. And something with that long of a timeline doesn't produce hardly any radiation to begin with. The dangerous stuff is much hotter and becomes safe within hundreds to thousands of years.

I use the exact same pens for everything, they are great. Especially the different sizes.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago

Yeah the anti-nuclear crowd just goes and downvote all the things, they don't even read anything. It's kinda sad.

Do you have a source for that? Because that is not true. A properly built casket can go for at least a thousand years. The issues reported with caskets is where they've been exposed to salt water / brine. That's a facility issue, not a casket issue. There are so many caskets stored around the world and only a very small amount have had actual issues associated with them.

Even with the issues, the impact has always been very locally. Not like with coal where radioactive matter is blasted straight into the atmosphere and spread in dust form. Radioactive dust getting into your lungs is a big issue. Water contaminated with waste you can simply stay a feet away from and be perfectly fine. And remember a lot of water gets contaminated all the time with a lot of different dangerous stuff, that's why we monitor and treat the water we use. The leaks have been a problem, but mostly in the form of costs, not in the form of it being dangerous. It has always been detected right away and not gotten into water we use.

So they fucked up one time 50 years ago and thus the entire process is deemed to be flawed? Mistakes were made, mistakes are going to be made and as long as we learn from them and fix our mistakes, that's just a normal part of life.

Look at any tech, machine or industry we have today and you can see how many people died and suffered for those things to exist today. Hydro power has killed over a hundred thousand people and has destroyed entire eco systems, we still consider that clean and safe power. Cars kill people every day and planes still fall out of the sky sometimes. I still feel perfectly safe stepping into my car and driving on the road. So you saying "hug that shit" is like I'm supposed to fear my car, because of the horrible accidents that happen every day.

I can't find the source for you claiming higher cases of thyroid cancer and leukemia due to the leak of hazardous materials from the Asse-II mine. I can find plenty of FUD articles from anti-nuclear websites, but no actual peer reviewed research.

 

Serious question. I know there are a lot of memes about microservices, both advocating and against it. And jokes from devs who go and turn monoliths into microservices and then back again. For my line of work it isn't all that relevant, but a discussion I heard today made me wonder.

There were two camps in this discussion. One side said microservices are the future, all big companies are moving towards it, the entire industry is moving towards it. In their view, if it wasn't Mach architecture, it wasn't valid software. In their world both software they made themselves and software bought or licensed (SaaS) externally should be all microservices, api first, cloud-native and headless. The other camp said it was foolish to think this is actually what's happening in the industry and depending on where you look microservices are actually abandoned instead of moving towards. By demanding all software to be like this you are limiting what there is on offer. Furthermore the total cost of operation would be higher and connecting everything together in a coherent way is a nightmare. Instead of gaining flexibility, one can actually lose flexibility because changing interfaces could be very hard or even impossible with software not fully under your own control. They argued a lot of the benefits are only slight or even nonexistent and not required in the current age of day.

They asked what I thought and I had to confess I didn't really have an answer for them. I don't know what the industry is doing and I think whether or not to use microservices is highly dependent on the situation. I don't know if there is a universal answer.

Do you guys have any good thoughts on this? Are microservices the future, or just a fad which needs to be forgotten ASAP.
