Beat what out of you? You already gave them a password that decrypts a specific file/volume/etc. If they want to beat you, they will beat you regardless of your possession of any encrypted materials.
And there it is, you have no interest in seeing Trump defeated.
I absolutely do not give a single fuck about trump. I care about the dissolution of the genocidal state of israel and the entire Knesset tried for crimes against humanity.
If they are trying to win a domestic election, they best appeal to the people to vote for them. If there are a lot of people that have made their voice clear that supporting genocide means no vote, maybe the dems should evaluate their support for genocide. Since that is how democracy works.
Why would a leftist who is registered democrat give a shit about Trump? She isn't trying to pressure trump to do anything, she isn't voting for trump, she never supported trump and Trump has nothing to do with her goals. Further why have you spent any time whatsoever thinking about trump? It's been 4 years, 4 years of the party you nominally support enabling genocide and you can't even do the barest minimum to stop them from supporting that genocide?
If the "waste" is "highly radioactive" that means that is has A LOT of energy left in it. It should be reprocessed, recycled, and should provide power for another 20years. The whole idea of nuclear waste needing billions of years of storage is just propaganda to ensure nuclear reactors are never a threat to the existing fossil fuel markets.
By the way despite a huge increase in the amount of "green energy" produced by germany last year, they have also burned more fossil fuels then they ever have in history, same story in China, the US and other European countries.
Yea I suppose the maintenance of those systems provides some employable benefit. So let's say 1000 contractors, is that worth ~500million in tax breaks over 6 years? I'd say absolutely not. If that number were 100x or even 10x maybe, but ultimately it's 500million stolen by the private entities based on exaggerated employment claims and dubious accounting.
Datacenters are absolutely not "job creators." They are necessary for the life we enjoy, they are relatively clean as their major input is electricity and their output is heat. But huge fully functional DCs only need around 20people to run while providing zero local or even state revenue other then property taxes and whatever utility taxes are still applicable to them.
Obviously e-waste is a huge problem, but that is independent of the datacenter itself.
Uber was always more expensive then a taxi, at least in NYC/London. It was originally marketed as a "luxury" transportation option. The cloud was always ~2x more Operation Expenses with the value proposition that you didn't have any Capital Expenses so if you were a startup it was easier to sell-out and get started with lower risk. Streaming is still cheaper then cable, but it is getting shittier.
natural gas generation are only for those essential overnight loads that we just can’t shed.
And you literally just described what is happening. We are using more fossil fuels then ever before and naive environmentalists (encouraged by the fossil fuel industry) are calling it a victory for the environment.
Really glad I live in Illinois where it has the highest share of power generated via Nuclear power. The dirty overlooked secret is that Both Wind and Solar energy only work because they are backed up by natural gas power plants, and it will always be that way until nuclear power plants start being built.
