This is pretty much exactly my gripes, too. Data centers are necessary, but why are we doing this all the wrong way? The new Utah data center is building new gas pipelines to generate 9GW instead of requiring ANY percentage of green energy,

The title may be misleading. They are pausing giving out new tax breaks, not suspending previously granted breaks.

How is this a dupe? It's new information, and my take is that it's one of the least biased articles about the topic.

This echoes some of my biggest gripes about data centers: We should be mandating green power, to a great extent, be built to support these facilities. We (US states) should not be competing, in a race to the bottom, to be the state to give

Virtual machines don't prevent data exfiltration. Auditing code before using it does. I'm with GP. I was going to use this for personal use until I noticed this problem.

Valid. I certainly do not know myself. We will have to wait for the environmental impact study, or just wait for the real-world effects.

The critical difference is that this will be 100% powered by natural gas, not a dam and hydraulics system. Natural gas releases CO2 and nitrogen oxides which will exacerbate the Salt Lake valley's smog problems.

Several Garmin watches last for weeks (24 days full charge, actual 1-2 weeks with heavy gps and fitness tracking), and I struggle to understand why consumers accept anything less. It seems like consumers don't realize what's avail

Given the international presence of WhatsApp, I was almost willing to bet that this would be a big deal, however the features to this plan are really lame. Exclusive stickers and changing app theme for a monthly fee is not what I expected.

Using a platform-specific tool feels like vendor lock-in. Given the recent trends, behavior, and activity of GitHub, it sure seems like this is the opposite of what the world should be going for generally. Also if someone could help me unde

There is a difference between "correct" and "how it is actually used by real people."

IANAL but my understanding with settlements is that It removes the possibility of the defendant risking a judgement of wrongdoing and causing more problems down the road, like having to fix their mistakes.

In all for these maps, unfortunately this is a "Show HN: paid only products", not open source maps, free maps, or anything fun like that. At least I couldn't find the actual maps that are mentioned in the title.
