> A lot of memory and thread safety guarantees in Rust are only applicable to user space.

I'm not sure what you are thinking of here. Rust memory safety doesn't care about the environment at all.

That is not the norm. You won't get charged for smoking in Copenhagen, but it will put you in a high risk category for smuggling so their typical response here is to search you. They were probably under a high workload and had to prioritize heavily.

And if you were behind the wheel, you will be sentenced for driving under influence. Even if it has been days since you smoked a joint.

Does it handle byzantine failures?

How can it be used at all under SSPL then? There are no operating systems on which Redis runs that uses that license.

That gives us an upper bound but the real answer could be anything between that and harmless.

So I mean "we don't know" as in "we don't have the complete answer".

Because society does not accept the answer "we really don't know" in cases of public health.

It's rather that just because it would be statistically undetectable, we don't really know what the expected increase is. We really don't have good empirical data on the harmful effects of low amounts of radiation. Especially when the best data we could have had, happened to coincide with an empire collapse with major health impacts on the population.

Electric vehicles are heavier, which means they must spend more brake pads to stop. But they also use regenerative breaking, which reduces pad wear. So I'm not sure if they make it worse or not.

Associated with implies no causality, but of course everybody knows that, right?

So he's pushing an energy solution that requires Tritium. One of the rarest elements of earth. And then has the nerve to accuse fission of relying on rare elements.

> "Overnight, it basically changed the cost per watt of a fusion reactor by a factor of almost 40 in one day,"

So there is this myth that fusion enables unlimited cheap energy. This is 100% false. It's not unlimited at all. Most concepts relies on using lithium-6. That's not a super common element.

But more importantly, it's not cheap. That should be obvious, if you could reduce the cost per watt 40x and still not be competitive.

> Random polls, be they online or via phone, are basically worthless; you know that as well as I.

This claim is so easy to debunk that I doubt you are arguing in good faith.
