ABSTRACT
Presented by Martin Hellman
Nuclear weapons are the elephant in the room that almost no one talks about. This presentation therefore approaches the subject from the much less threatening -- actually downright attractive -- perspective of soaring. Risk analysis is the glue that ties the two subjects together, while my experience in developing public key cryptography provides an important lesson on the positive side.

As of today, the USA spends as much for military as the rest of this world, only the USA has actually bombed with nuclear weapons killing hundreds of thousands, still is the leading arms exporter of the world. Exporting death and misery. All while lecturing the rest of the world what they should do, while they do Nothing. Why hate and fear ? Because we have made an US and THEM game. And as long as we have that instead of understanding that it is US, the humans, until then, nothing will change.

Exactly! This philosophy applies to so many conflicts.
His point about ringing Paulo Alto with a thousand nuclear reactors makes no sense. It carries the same risk as ringing the city with reactors - what risk is that? He doesn't quantify it, it's just playing on the bad press of nuclear energy
Actually in a game like WoW a droprate of 1/1000 is acceptble and the drop will actually happen- that really easy- so I guess a nukelear diaster is really fesable today.
