"The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated" That's a direct quote. The fact that it wasn't first on the list doesn't mean it's no

The UN defines genocide, in part, as "deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part." This accurately describes Israel's multi-faceted genocide against the Pales

The IRGC is a morally abhorrent organization. You'll never hear me argue otherwise. They victimize not only their neighbors, but also their own populace. Also, the US bombing of the Iranian school was not a "grave mistake",

Sorry, Iran has a "responsibility" to defend itself. And America's decision to slaughter Iranian schoolchildren was completely optional. It happened only because Israel convinced Trump that there was an easy win available. A

You're jumping to conclusions. Deletion to protect privacy does not prove deletion to prevent apprehension. I could believe that everything is wholly innocent, but wish to protect privacy regardless.

I agree that datacenters showed up because a ton of fibre was already there. I was talking about reasons that the general public of Loudon County has had a positive view toward datacenters -- not why datacenters chose the county (that'

A few things you might want to consider: 1) your example pays very substantial tax. (property taxes, plus, recently, tax on electricity use) 2) your example primarily used undesirable land. 3) your example grew slowly, allowing the power co

It's inaccurate to claim that the opposition is "completely irrational". One _extremely_ rational and common reason that people oppose these projects is that they can bid-up the energy cost in their regions, meaning that one

They described their car as having "auto-installed" the update. An update which advertised, amongst other features, that it "rectifies errors and prevents security gaps" and stated "This update is recommended for ev

BEVs are great for non-enthusiasts whose goal is to be transported, but in their current incarnation they are _abysmal_ for people whose goal is _to drive_. And people who brag about the performance specs of a car whose main selling point i

True, I just left a hipster coffee shop in LA, and the liberals were whispering about their love of SaaS services, and their desire to socialize the costs of compute infrastructure.

Your post is largely false, and quite confused. Grid upgrade costs are frequently socialized onto existing customers, especially for larger upgrades. Your central premise that interconnect charges cover everything is false.

When they gave water to big ag, we got to buy food. With this, we pay extra to lose our jobs.

Or how about this framing (using your own numbers): for every dollar a datacenter is charged for electricity, regular hard-working Americans get charged $2.

Your proposed sentence contains less information. The initial headline also conveys both that there is current spend with Broadcom, and that the future spend is higher than current levels.

if you watch European car enthusiast review videos, they nearly all start by showing what's required to disable all of the nannies.

To be precise: Biden created an abusable system that requires waivers for Chinese software that is now being administered by the GOP. Volvo got a waiver from the Trump admin no problem. Polestar could not get their waiver from the Trump ad

I should've said competitive Chinese EVs to be precise. (Though I thought that anybody as smart as you think you are would've inferred that without issue)

by mukbangpervert 3mo ago
Correction: it is because a major Republican donor wants Chinese cars banned, because they beat the living shit out of his offerings on quality and value. It is silly to credulously pretend that the excuse about Chinese software has even a

What facts do you have that make you certain that the underlying issue is "food addiction" rather than, say, a difference in body chemistry that changes perceived hunger levels?

Stellantis is wild. They went from having a large portfolio of brands, each of which had many popular vehicles in America to having the Chrysler minivan, the Dodge charger, the Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator, and the Ram pickup.

There is power available in the country. It is not available in arbitrary quantity, to arbitrarily selected buildings, on arbitrarily short timelines. That said, I agree we need more power generation in this country. Massive rollouts (lik

xAI colossus was built without sufficient grid power, so uses "mobile" gas turbines to generate power. It's absurd, and serves as evidence that we need a confiscatory wealth tax, if we want to maintain a society.

Meanwhile, at an actual enterprise, we have lots of Slack channels where membership is controlled by an LDAP group... so this would be a non-issue.

"Is it really much different to how much artists got from radio?" is a weird way of stating that artists should be paid more. If you actually want to defend artists... I suggest _not_ drawing equivalence between the old (bad) dea

A million album sales generates $2-3m for the artist under a typical label deal. 150,000,000 streams typically generates $560k _before_ the label cut. Your posts make clear that you're a wildly immoral person -- not just because you re

The overall economics are wildly different. Radio didn't pay much, but it was promotion for the album. Spotify doesn't pay much, and it _replaces_ the album.

Paul Graham was at his best when he gave clear, experience-driven, action-oriented advice. But even then, his advice was flawed... advising people to do things like to discriminate against women and parents. As he got a little older, he cu
