Yes, exactly. It's a bunch of metal that stands out in the weather all the time.

Your model of the infrastructure as a perpetually sustaining asset is not correct. These assets must be continually refreshed and improved or their value disappears. The emergence of the data center as a point load has merely coincided with

Given the predicted rise of Lake Michigan, and the predicted future volatility of its level, I would suggest that the cities and states of the region be building as many megascale waterworks as they can, and the energy systems to operate th

The bill was written by Buffy Wicks, who represents me in the State Assembly, who is very good on housing, transportation, and climate, and who should absolutely stay in her lane and not try to legislate platform APIs.

In America electric rates are increasing due to 20 years of stagnation and failure to invest in transmission, and new data centers are on average associated with lower, not higher retail electric rates. This is because large consumers drive

It makes more sense when you realize that the same people also don't want anyone new living in their town, so they do not perceive any value to new jobs, only costs.

That's a mix of different issues. The site of a natural resource isn't one of the things that political systems control, whereas the site of a petrochemical refinery or a power station is chosen by those systems. So yes, it is obv

I support in principle the rights of towns to set their own land use rules, but on the larger societal picture I don't support people benefiting from things like intermodal shipping, goods distribution, and information services that th

Almost all of the site would have been open space, existing transmission corridors, an electric substation, and two flood control ponds they threw in to try to sweeten the deal by offsetting the new impermeable surfaces. The data halls are

Wealthy white exclave succeeds in using environmental justice language to keep cheap coal-fired power to themselves. Very American outcome. Although I obviously don't care about Microsoft's outcome here, this was clearly a great s

Too bad California fell on the wrong side of this divide.

It has a bit, but there are fundamental issues. Given the way the Go runtime wants to deal with reading and writing sockets, HTTP/2 requires 2 extra goroutines per connection, and the bouncing around over channels that this implies. Th

The earliest photo in Google Earth is 1984 and at that time the site is already totally surrounded by houses for miles.

Zoning doesn't protect people from chemicals, it protects white people from black and chinese people, and that has always been its only and avowed purpose. Also notable that the people who live across the street from the tanks don&#x27

Looking at the outliers in terms of L1i MPKI makes me wonder how different the results might be under peak optimization with profile guidance, LTO, and BOLT. Does the "cactus" program have a hot region of code that's too larg

This mostly codified established reality. TGV had overwhelming Paris-Lyon market share by 1981 and Paris-Bordeaux by 2018, years before the ban.

Diesel-electric trains do not have traction batteries. And they don't even carry half of the reactants for their engines.

I am reasonably confident that access to solid modeling and additive fabrication is now more widespread than ever.

I don't agree with this philosophy at all. Current scientific understanding is not and need not be compatible with past scientific belief.

by jeffbee 5mo ago
250 years ago nobody knew what the hell a battery was. It seems hubristic to assume we now possess ultimate knowledge of the universe.

Recent history is full of examples of trains that killed air routes. Trains took 80% market share from Paris to Lyon and 100% to Brussels. Similar in Spain and Japan.

A lot of the weirdos are trying to force trains to be worse by carrying batteries. Almost everyone knows this is crazy, except some Americans with surprising influence.

Yeah. I teach this after school to 7th grade kids. Anyone can pick this up in a few hours.

But sentiment toward YouTube isn't negative. It is the most reputable social media in Morning Consult's brand reputation survey. It enjoys a higher reputation score than things like Cheerios and Tylenol. I don't think you can

What kind of sicko wants to read an email thread in reverse order? I worked on gmail for years and never heard the first whiff of this being a thing that any sane person wants. I would be willing to allow that there are probably some highly

"Everyone hates YouTube" is an argument that has a lot to overcome. All objective indicators suggest it is incredibly popular, and growing in popularity, pretty much across the demographic board.

This is as solid an argument as the article.

It's an interesting illustration of how widely and quickly misinformation spreads, though.

I could go on and on about the enhanced reliability features of my hybrid. One reason why it will last forever is that when the engine needs to start, the ECU grabs the crankshaft with the MGU and spins it up to 1000 RPM, and doesn't d
