Re:Turning nuclear waste into diamond batteries on Saturday April 23, 2022 @06:05PM (#31139094)
Every energy source does require some sort of energy to make it possible to harvest it. And nuclear is no exception. We do not have any sustainable way to filter out enough carbon dioxide with any of the hypothetical excess energy. So saying there is a any energy source without any carbon dioxide emission is wrong.

> Nuclear power is considered a clean energy source because it has zero carbon dioxide emissions;

This is flat out wrong. Containing, mining, recycling and long term storage are so extremely costly and energy hungry that it does not make any economically sense in mid term to use nuclear power. And do not forget. Nuclear is not renewable. It has to be mined. There are mines which will be empty sooner than generally expected. And any kind of mass produced „nuclear battery“ which will eventually end up in land fill is a risk not worth taking. It reminds me of the story about leaded fuel. Yeah maybe a few cars are no problem. But scale up the pollution and boy will you be in trouble.

Interesting to see how people are bound to their selective perception if they can somehow profit from it.

Ethos will squeeze every last drop out of this opportunity.

To reiterate the written words from the authors: Intel prevented this particular problem gets to the public and than they flat out lied to the customer.

I enjoyed the reading and think that it is not a technical article rather entertainment. Maybe that is wrong too and it is both. Why should every technical article by definition be written in a boring language?

For technical details use the terms and search them in your favourite search engine. There are literally tons of articles about every aspect of H.265.

The problem is you won't get an Data Processing Agreement (DPA) from them. And since email and names are sent through the service the DPA is mandatory. If someone somehow manages to detect your are sending his data to a non-compliant service you can get sued.
Re:GDPR Hall of Shame on Thursday May 24, 2018 @08:39AM (#17143333)
My favourite at the moment is sendwithus. They said their service will never be GDPR compliant. But fortunately they have a new "enterprise grade" product called sendwithus dyspatch. Same feature set, new price plus GDPR compliance. This is a price jump from $79/Month to a minimum of $24.000/year. And this is with discount for former sendwithus users. I would consider this to be mafia methods.
