I don’t think all of them. I believe data center are a net negative for the residents in the area. I live in South Texas and the county here really gave it their all to get Space X down here. It has become a big employer in this area. There

The last 20 years because of social media. The algorithmic echo chambers that people have created with their feeds has increased the divide.

Nostalgia more than anything. At the time a factory job could buy you a home out of high school, have a wife that stays home and takes care of the children. The factory job itself is a red herring. What people actually want is a post WW2 ba

China wants to be number one and they have a good chance of doing it. Every nation’s leaders and people want that. It affords luxury and influence. The US understandably doesn’t want to lose their spot. It also helps making this an issue to

Everyone is pushing trade school and blue collar work. You think their wages are going to increase with new supply? No. I feel like the powers that be said “learn to code” to increase supply. Now it’s “learn to weld” and once the supply inc

It’s not so much the people or the land, but rather what they can build. It’s the whole essence of the article. Not sure how far behind the West would fall if TSMC was controlled by the CCP. 5 years? 10?

I see Russia not caring, but to say China doesn’t care in the slightest doesn’t make sense. Especially with a company at that scale. There wouldn’t be a push to the Red Book if that was the case. > goes against the sentiment of their pop

In a way you have to hand it to China for this master play. Globalization really complicates economies. China became the world’s factory because it produced products for a fraction of the cost, but it didn’t let the West in to provide servi

Meta, maybe Zuck specifically, always seemed liked a pandering company trying to follow the social meta. VR gets popular, Meta goes all in. Twitter “dies”, Meta swoops in with Threads. Snapchat stories, FB stories. TikTok, FB shorts. Musk g

Yeah, but then you get laid off from your cushy VP or Director role at 45 and realize you weren’t as smart as you thought you were when you’re searching for your next role that will pay you your previous salary. You’ll probably think back t

The images with the forecast don’t look like any forecasts I was watching. They predicted pretty well even on July 1st. The majority of models predicted it would go up like it did. The trend between EPS, GEFS, UKMET, and CMC all had it goin

I stopped going after a waitress mentioned my mozzarella sticks were still in the microwave. As I sat there, thinking about the Sam’s Club cardboard box they might have come from, I realized that many restaurants probably do the same. Howev

I think the biggest factor that decides where you live is work. You move where the work is, that’s how you survive. You don’t have to use a hyperbole like living on 40 acres. There’s many cities and towns that have social events but aren’t

I think the crux of the issue is our brains looking to be occupied with easily digestible content. I removed Facebook a while ago but then replaced it with Reddit and X. I quickly removed them, but then it was like my brain was looking for

Yeah, but they created a moat and became sticky. Netflix knew they were a middleman too so they started to produce their own content years before the streaming wars. I worked for one near the border that bought American industrial parts and

I’d agree with you if someone somehow managed to memorize all the problems line by line, but that isn’t the case. You’ve memorized how to build an array in your language of choice. You’ve memorized the patterns that require an array. You mi

If there’s content I want to watch, I’ll check each streaming service. I’ll even buy or rent it if I can watch it on demand. If I really want the content that’s not easily accessible then I’ll resort to torrenting. It’s convenience more tha

Hear me out. We buy up a lot of buildings in the area and advertise them as communities where people can cool off in a shared space. It’ll have AC for everyone. We can name it WeCool.

Proper form is very real. We all share the same anatomy and the levers that are your arms perform the same way. A weight lifter might not arch their back compared to a power lifter when doing a bench press, but each setup is fine. A sumo or

There’s a paywall you can’t exit. Review exploit. Ripping off the logo. By the definition of a scam those things are dishonest in the attempt to make a quick buck. You can do mental gymnastics to try to justify this, but at the end of the d

YT is the greatest media content platform to ever exist. I’ve tried to tell people to cancel Spotify and just rebuild your playlists on YT. The algorithms are just as good. You can also find ALL music on it. When I’m looking for a song that

Ford is doing the same with the C pick up truck. I often see Rangers with Mexican license plates around town since I live in south Texas. I think if Ford or Ram can sell $100k pickup trucks in Mexico they would in a heart beat. https:&#x2F

I’m going to make a search site, but I’ll just call google under the hood. Host it on GitHub and call it open source.
