That seems like a large expense to get access the small minority of people who won't connect their devices to their own internet.

The same can be said of the nautical mile. It is no longer defined as an minute of latitude and in instead exactly 1852 meters.


The length of people's feet vary and so does the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plough in one day.


Sort of like how people try to conflate the problems of the earth quake and tsunami with those of Fukushima Daiichi.


You can turn off uMatrix for a specific site.

If this sort of language is more effective affecting change for the better, then would you agree that it is good to use regardless of the "clinical" nature of the framing?


More people die from wind power than die from nuclear. Solar uses vastly more land area than nuclear, a major problem for an island nation like Japan. The varying power output from sources like solar/wind make them infeasible for a full grid.


If nuclear killed the same number of people as wind it would still be safe enough. So I am not sure that is a good reason for choosing nuclear over wind. Both energy sources have extremely small numbers.

Also, the deaths are workers. People who understand and have consented to the risk. And who can take some responsibility for their own safety. The death of a random member of the public is morally different.
