Haven't read the article, but there are far more accidents at sea than just shipwrecks, which would be probably the most extreme type of accident.

Bad design choice is probably why they open sourced it.

... an attempt at regulatory capture.

Regulatory capture

Would be great to non-destructively scan the lower layers and date code them at some point, if/when possible.

That's on current copyrights, not public domain works like these really old maps.

Wow! Terrible layout. Shouldn't fully justify on a small screen.

Most of this policy is unenforceable.

I totally thought this was about bike theft.

Sad comment really. I could make a counterargument that it could've gone to an alcoholic who wasted his liver, which would be equally uncalled for.

Very interesting insight. OP essentially lost at playing chicken.

> Of course it should be done anyway as there will be a lot of used batteries in near future.

The necessity for recycling those batteries, without more, does not logically follow from their relative abundance in view of the purely economic perspective you posit. Why not just bury them?

It may be the scarcity of lithium that may drive us to take otherwise expensive steps to recycle such batteries.

The conclusory "of course" sets the argument up for a failure from the outset. Though it is not the only flaw.

Poison hemlock is a carrot. Socrates and I would consider it toxic.

There are other toxic substance like phosphorus in "lithium" batteries. Some "lithium" battery chemistries, though reportedly not LFP, contain cobalt, a very toxic heavy metal. Besides, there isn't a clear definition of what is a heavy metal. Even iron and copper, used in LFP, are considered heavy metals by some.

BTW, lithium itself is highly toxic too.

Still slop. This article appears to conflate battery recycling with lithium recovery, two distinct steps to achieve high lithium reuse.
