        From the link "Microsoft spent six months collaborating with Terra Praxis, a nonprofit that advocates for transforming old coal plant sites into modern SMR[Small modular reactor] homes." So in 200 years I suspect they will install the first one after clearing all of the regulatory, social protests and legal lawsuits.

            > Microsoft goes atomic [...] > World's most valuable company I'm not sure why the second part needs to be brought up. They probably would still have hired that one guy even if they hadn't been the world's most valuable company. Does he command that big of a salary? Is he going to run a new department that only MS can afford? Just something that irks me in headlines nowadays; they're not cause and effect; one didn't lead to the other. > What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong, if instead of MS, it was some rag-tag startup that (you know) would try to cut corners at every opportunity?

              As opposed to cutting corners based on financial risk analysis?

                Including financial liability? I'd rather go with the company that has the deepest pockets. The small fish can just declare bankruptcy and disappear.

                  I doubt it makes any difference to the corpses whether they died because of cost cutting or because of corner cutting. :sigh:

                    They probably died of exposure (to extreme heat, pressure and radiation levels)
