From what I understand, it is because of radioisotopes (primarily Cobalt 60) that’s in the atmosphere and introduced into steel during the manufacturing process - the Bessemer process forces air through molten pig iron to purify it to make steel. They don’t get more radioactive just by sitting around in air. Railroad…

The need to invest tens to hundreds of millions of US$ before salvage operation can begin is going to present a significant barrier of entry to your average unethical and illegal salvage operator.

Depends on the species of palm, those I remove from the road weigh a few pounds and have a fairly hard “stalk” (whatever the part that joins to the trunk is called). Landing on a person, I’d say potential for serious injury since it is falling from 20 - 30 ft up at least. On a car you’ll have a sizeable dent, unless…

I think we agree on all the main points. Even if the return on investment of a salvage operation several miles deep is 10x, the staggering amount of initial investment is going for faze the salvage operators.

I know pre-nuclear steel is valuable, but do you know what kind of price they command? The only number I can find online says something like “as much as US$100/lb”. I still contend that it’s not remotely cost effective to salvage something from 2.6 miles deep.

HMS Repulse is at a depth of around 50m. I couldn’t find how deep the HMAS Perth I is, but navy divers surveyed it in 2015, so it’s not too deep either. This one is at 3800m. While not as deep as K-129 (4900m) which cost the CIA a lot to retrieve, it’s still way deeper than most submersibles can go. Even nuclear subs…

To protect the wreck, Venture Inc. did not disclose the exact location of the Juneau.

My trusty 6502 processor has no such vulnerabilities. MOS Technology for life!

Don’t know about ArtistAtLarge, but for me, the dead fronds tend to come loose during strong winds and drop, with potentially devastating results if there’s anything underneath.

It’ll take time, but we’ll eventually put this sorry episode behind us.

I’ve actually met him a couple of times in San Francisco during keyboard meet-ups. Great guy, very passionate about keyboards and especially switches. Input Club organizes meetups every few months, I highly recommend attending if you’re in the Bay Area and want to geek out over keyboards.

Thanks. Did you verify that you could access all 64GB space? Maybe I should just get off my lazy ass and verify it myself since I have the cards as well as the RPis... Not in a great hurry to do so though - I’ve been using the old 32GB cards from my various cameras and upgrading them to larger capacity, and I still…

I notice that some crossing lights change regardless, others don’t. The ones that change regardless seem to be in smaller streets in downtown areas.

The old one is pretty slow due to the fact that network and disk I/O all go through USB. The new one improves network performance but it’s still pretty slow. If all you want is a network file share, either get an external hard disk with network interface, or a full blown NAS that provides RAID 1 or RAID 5.

Does 64GB cards work well with the Pi? I’ve heard conflicting reports. I usually just get the 32GB cards because good 16GB or smaller cards are pretty much impossible to find these days.

My memory is off by an order of magnitude - thanks :)

For criminal liability it’ll be interesting to see how this works out.
