Looks like a proposed change to the law is in the works to allow private companies to accept disaster debris, likely to get around the inconvenient local governments' refusals.

Mike Oxlong wrote:Guess it's time to update the Wikipedia page with another interdisciplinary application of entropy:
Nuclear contamination always flows "spontaneously" from regions of higher contamination to regions of lower contamination, in the form of tsunami debris rammed down the throats of unwilling citizens.

My family are hammering me to come home, but I came here for my gf. Now she too wants to go back! I think I will tough it out though. Until that is, I start to glow.
Yokohammer wrote:This is obviously a bad idea from the controllability and accountability standpoint. But I can also sort of understand why the government might decide to take this route in order to break a stalemate in any way they can and get the job done (and I'm still not saying it's a good idea).

Yokohammer wrote:Something like that.
I'm surprised someone didn't come back with a more pedantic "you're using the word 'entropy' wrong" type comment.
Coligny wrote:Because we assumed that living in the stick with limited y00man (non local) interactions you use 'entropy' instead of 'status quo' to look edumacated...
Coligny wrote:It's funny (in a way) how we radically don't think the same. Private processing under public inspection would be the good way to go. But in this corporate dictatorship even that would be fucked up because of their system where former public official land 'retirement' job in private companies (which i so surrealistically bad that I don't understand how it's not totally illegal).
But in a world where public servant have legal responsability, being in charge of the quality control for dangerous private activity usually work (also when said country have minimum understanding of the concept of 'conflict of interest' it helps a lot). That's how it's done for health and safety work for construction companies. Corruption of public servant meaning instant jailtime people tend to keep their shit straight. Also -POTENTIALLY- life threatening situations lead to heavy fines and immediate shutdown of the construction site until fixed. In case of death there is also a shutdown, but done by police force and the guy in charge have to answer (and usually sleep) at the police station. It's really a good way to have everybody sharp... Cherry on the cake, while the inspection workers are public servant, all the cost of running their offices are to be paid by the construction companies (yearly tax fixed by law).
What you call entropy is what my grandpa called "boulot de bougnoules" (back then "arabic craftmanship" today that would be "towelhead clusterfuck") The status quo that lead us here. But a wishfull thinking too. There might not be any possibility to go back to the previous entropy... No matter how sloppy the debris processing work is allowed to be done... The now public position of Naoto Kan... Maybe something is changing...

Yokohammer wrote:Would you be offended if I said I was greatly relieved to hear that?
Of course I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Yokohammer wrote:That works too! Especially since it includes "network diffusion."
The only disadvantage I can think of is that it's not as widely known.
As long as the gist is "x will eventually spread out so that there will be equal amounts of x everywhere", it works.
Mike Oxlong wrote:In my view, you are focusing on just the end result, while I'm more interested in the process by which it happens. Attributing the process as something natural and unavoidable certainly plays well to the home crowd, but to me is akin to a doctor telling a patient, "We found a tumor in your lung. It has not metastasized yet, but it will. There's nothing that can be done.":confused:
