Yep. DCs are extremely capex heavy, so these backlogs can make or break entire projects and are super high risk as a result. That's why tax holidays and subsidizes have become so common for these projects.

Honestly surprised by the degree of skepticism about this on HN. The rack assemblers like Dell, HPE, Supermicro, and Lenovo have 18 to 24 month backlogs on deliveries at the moment, and even the neoclouds have 6-9 month backlogs to onboard

Honestly would love to deep dive into Sumerian literature. Sadly much of it is still untranslated or in the annals of UChicago.

The only relation Allied Universial employees and Anthropic has is that Anthropic is temporarily subleasing this specific office in Rincon Hill from another F500 before moving to nicer digs a couple blocks down, and that F500 has a contract

Contractually, you cannot depending on the sublease, which is between the original owner (a F500) and I think JLL or CBRE, and even then is specifically veteeen JLL and Allied Universal. Anthropic is anyhow leaving this specific building.
