Whether you like their actions or not, they still have bills to pay

Gotta pay the bills somehow

Sure but if they're trying to send new requests while the others are still retrying, then it will result in the same thing

Calls as in network requests not phone calls

Not in the slightest unfortunately. Often customers don't even know what customers want, and the subgroup that actually responds to these aren't necessarily "average"

Thank you. I've personally not worked at a company yet that actually sold this data or moved it outside of our internal systems. It exists purely to drive business decisions

My company collects a ton of data, but it doesn't leave our servers. We use it purely to drive internal decisions based on how people actually use the software

Oddly the "where you clicked" report does drive decisions for updates. We (as a developer) use that information to drive UI decisions and determine which flows are more important and should be more easily available

I meant to type "or" not "of."

bad incidents

Kyshtym was not a nuclear reactor and was also in the USSR.

Windscale had nobody be injured or die in the moment, but POSSIBLY a hundred due to long term radiation, though this is disputed.

Three Mile Island had zero injuries and zero deaths. The issues it had were entirely due to badly designed control panels and multiple human errors in succession, which has been addressed. Every single one of its safety systems worked perfectly as designed, but one stupid dude did the wrong things at the wrong times and fucked it up. Even then, again, it was an incredibly benign accident.

Church Rock isn't even a nuclear reactor.

Fukushima, again, was quite benign. Nobody died and (iirc) nobody was injured. Its safety systems worked exactly as designed and the only issue was bad placement and not being built to survive the possible tsunamis that it may face, which is easily resolved through the most basic of regulation.

Yeah, there's some cleanup in these, but in everything but Chernobyl the surrounding area is perfectly fine. If these are your "bad incidents" then I really wonder what you think of the thousands of people that are actively dying per year putting up and maintaining windmills.

Time and time again nuclear proves to be the safest form of energy production on every single metric.

Oh man one whole accident from obvious negligence which is easily resolved by the absolute most basic of regulation. Are you implying we're as bad as the USSR when it comes to basic safety? There have been hundreds of thousands of reactors going perfectly fine since then. Modern reactors can literally not fail in the same way that caused Chernobyl.

I haven't had issues

Not to mention that in the hundred years of nuclear plants, 30 people have died in TOTAL. Coal mines have killed a hundred thousand in the US alone, and windmills kill a few thousand in the UK alone each year. Nuclear has only killed 30 people. In a hundred years. Fukishima didn't hurt a single person.
