I wouldn’t be worried. Nuclear waste is fairly easy to detect and carries a unique signature from the reactor that it came from. If an operator starts dumping waste, they’re going to be caught very quickly.

Don’t try to guess my password.

the assumption laws cannot be changed

Laws can be changed but it’s extremely challenging to do so. Any new competing standard is going to inevitably be driven by one company that stands to gain the most from it. And no lawmaker is going to expand the law to allow USB-C or this new interconnect without a huge amount of “lobbying” by that company.

Laws like this are why you can’t buy a plane ticket with your real name if your first name is “Mran” (FAA mandated protocols interpret it as “Mr. An”) and why digital check images are still sent using one of the most inefficient image formats in existence (some idiotic lawmaker decided it would be a good idea to make sure the images could be “digitally shred”). When technical standards are enshrined in law, they tend to stay that way forever.

USB-C solves all problems that a port can solve

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or are really just that naive. I’ve heard people say the same thing about USB-A, mini-USB, micro-USB, firewire, DVI, mDP, and HDMI. And look where we are now.

A wireless standard

The law doesn’t impede wireless advancements. It just says that if it has a port, it must be USB-C.

Not my IP; it’s just a random one that didn’t respond to pings.

That if I went to Planet Hollywood for dinner I would definitely meet Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Markus Persson made a pretty cool game you may have heard of.

8Hz at 180dB would do nicely.
