IANAL, but I feel like if Lyft and Uber aren't careful the courts are going to end up deciding that their drivers are employees instead of independent contractors.

I have no doubt a few companies, like Uber, were measuring other things and had applicable metrics in place before adopting Clod or CoPilot or whatever automation. I'm speaking in the general sense of companies adopting the latest hype

I’m imagining a lot of programmers suddenly being given the impossible task of reporting what worked and what didn’t, and middle management making up some retrospective evaluation with fat PowerPoint decks and meaningless graphs in an effor

It’s not clear companies were measuring anything but token usage. What information could leadership have collected to determine what worked, what didn’t, and what needs more data? Other than the balance sheet and revenue, do companies actua

That marker may be a bit off. There was a proposed data center in Midtown College Station, rejected about 8 months ago. https://www.kbtx.com/2025/09/12/college-station-city-council...

Everyone pays for the negative externalities of these outsized water- and electricity-sucking, noise- and heat-generating monuments to greed and charlatanism.

When they aren't located out in remote areas, data centers, like most undesirable industry, get located near communities of poor minorities.

Why? For the same reason our reactors do not have containment buildings around them, like those in the West. For the same reason we don't use properly enriched fuel in our cores. For the same reason we are the only nation that builds w

I knew someone would come out and say that. To answer your question, I have driven through, multiple times. I suggest starting with Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire to raise your awareness.

And it so happens that the flood of code coming out of tools like Claude is almost certain to bring a whole zoo invisible gorillas along for the bananas. The kinds of bugs that people already struggle to catch because of inattentional blind
