Reddit doesn't even require an email address to make an account. You can just leave the email field blank.

But it does require a valid phone number which is worse.

(I might be misremembering but they definitely require a valid something now, as I found out a while back creating a new batch of accounts to rotate)


That was switched off recently. Now it demands an email.

I don't think so. They send a confirmation mail.

The what?

basically you have to use parkmobile in many places unless you carry literally rolls full of quarters due to the depreciation of the USD, some places dont even have machines anymore. ParkMobile is a moneygrabbing operation that municipalities use to run their parking stuff - yay saas. They got hacked and leaked everyones phone numbers, license plates, history, and more.

The settlement in court was - you got I believe a $1.00 coupon to use parkmobile again - but you could only use .50 towards each transaction


That, especially the conclusion, is hilariously bad.

It's worse I just checked

"

You are eligible for up to a $1.00 credit to be applied to ParkMobile’s service fees. The code provides a $0.25 discount on ParkMobile’s service fees and may be used up to four times for a total discount of $1.00. The code will expire on October 8, 2026. For residents of California, the code will not expire. The code will only work for accounts associated with email addresses that are in the class."


True for fission bombs. Less true for fusion bombs. The principal makeup and manufacturing of fusion device parts like tampers are still unknown to the public. Having a supply of HEU does not tell you how to assemble a functional triple stage device or how to utilize tritium, an isotope that measurably decreases in purity by the day.

You need a fission bomb to ignite a fusion bomb btw.

Was something I said unclear?

The purpose was to clarify that the obstacles to constructing modern nuclear weapons is not accurately characterized as "99%" fuel-related. Even if a group were to obtain a stockpile of ready HEU and plutonium-239, there is knowledge they simply will not have because they did not spend a trillion USD testing different bomb configurations last century. The difference in yield is two orders of magnitude.


Aka this has zero relevance to the proliferation discussion. Anyone having the problem you are describing long ago already created a basic nuclear stockpile.

Notably, neither China nor Russia seemed to have issues creating Thermonuclear weapons despite the shortcomings you identified either.


And that is relevant how?

I'm sure something in the few dozen kilotons range doesn't need all that stuff,

while still giving you more than enough heat-rays to "enjoy".


seriously, what was the point of this comment?

But the extension works, not "collapses down badly."


>running 5-year-old versions of stuff with tons of known security flaws

No one in this thread proposed that, or anything that could be reasonably assumed to have meant that.


There's an accelerating population crisis. Who would have motive to push birth rates lower than they even are, and how would they "push them"?


The world has enough people and can trivially import some from places with too many to places with too few.


That process has some social complexities, because as it turns out, human cultures are not all the same.


Countless medications have <16% efficacy rate.


Have you never worked in customer service?


It is often both.


not in my experience and it will be more expensive to company


How is any of that making humanity better? How is any of that making the world a better place for us and our children to live in?


This is a b2b product. Its not meant to make the world better.

But maybe a business that’s actually making the world better by making better, healthier stuff uses it, gets more customers, and makes the world better


Who cares, the goal is to make money...
