Repeat after me: Technology solutions don't fix human problems.

Your sensor reporting system will be forced to report whatever is needed - regardless of the reality of the situation - as soon as the right manager demands more uptime to an engineer, or otherwise they get fired because leadership demands more profit.

My Anti Nuclear Power is not based on the technology, which is awesome, but on the external factors.

Nuclear power plants will be run by private companies that will weasel out on maintenance to save a penny. Yes, they will weasel out, this time will not be different to other industries.

Nuclear power plant cost overruns by more than 3x.

Nuclear energy being already more expensive than solar.

No private insurer wants to insure a nuclear power plant because the potential payout is gargantuan. So it is the country the one that has to insure it.

Nuclear waste maybe will get reprocessed one of these decades if we really get very lucky, but it is expensive and gets in the way of the profits. So we create a shell company to deal with it, and if it happens something, we bankrupt the shell company and the country has to pay it, again. We get to keep the profits, of course.

What if an accident happens? Well, the country is insuring it, so they have to pay for it. We don't have to be that careful anymore, we don't have to pay for it!

But there are 32 layers of protection, nothing bad will ever happen! We are going to a world with more active wars. Your 32 layers of protection will be blown apart by a well placed hypersonic missile. I hope this never ever happens, but my gut feeling tells me otherwise.

Nuclear would be great if it, and the world, would be run by responsible adults, not by profit-maximizing locusts and warmongering oligarchs.

No. You mean "we are already using, but before you notice..."

Let's be honest. ICE has shown us that only the "shitty" operators will be hired in. Specifically the malicious ones, we cannot leave to chance spreading misery.

There is a broken window fallacy somewhere around there, but I cannot find it right now.

That is one of the best assurances that we have these days, that is how bad is the situation.

Yarrr! The high seas are full of physical disks and have very few ads!

Do we also have a study on the quality of service provided by investor-owned vs public providers?

I mean, both sides claim to have the better quality, so let's see who actually has it.

You can do JSON instead of YAML.

But no one does that because it is significantly uglier. So I guess we don't deserve sanity because we don't want our programs to be ugly?

An AI bot will create the issue, and another AI bot will close it without fixing anything.

The future is here! It's a shame it has to be _this_ future...

That is the inevitable result. As a worker, either you pretend to work by appearing to already be overworked, or you get piled up more and more work until you are overworked.

No one ever has "less work to do". That's why managers exist: to find meaningful or meaningless work to do to fill the time saved, and eventually fire other people in order to ensure no one ever has less work to do.
