Police sometimes confiscate licenses (rightly or wrongly). Having your license confiscated when it doubles as your wallet, MFA device for work, and primary communications device sounds like a disaster.

Georgia, where data center construction has been booming, has seen rate increases significantly higher than this. IIRC there have been 6 rate increases in the last 2 years, with a 24% increase in 2024 alone. I don't believe any of this

I actually think we should have more power plants, and we should generate a lot more power. At the same time, it is not obvious that utility systems in communities are equipped to respond well to actors who are 1) not local 2) high growth 3

Data centers notoriously do not bring much in the way of either jobs or tax base. Meta's planned gigawatt-scale DC in Louisiana is projected to create ~500 jobs. If energy prices for the state increase by only 20%, that does not feel l

If the existing power supply is sufficient to supply the A/C and lights for an area, but a new buyer comes in and offers 10% more $ to purchase all the power currently being generated, there exist also the options of 1) make the new cu

Exactly this. If your only license is on your phone, and the police officer decides to confiscate your license, now you have a lot more problems beyond not being able to legally drive.

It's normal for police at a traffic stop to take your license back to their car while they write a ticket or whatever. Until laws change, having your only license on your phone means handing your phone to an officer until they are sati

There should be a tenure element to power access. The reductio is a well-funded adversary should not be able to buy all the power in a region just because they are able to pay more. Our utilities are generally regulated, and have some manda

I can't believe they are giving credit for "robotaxi" launching with human drivers. Yellow Cab had those in the '50s.

That’s the point of the model, so that it doesn’t have to play out in reality.

In the last few months, that must be accompanied by the question of who is going to enforce it. Those charged with enforcement of the relevant laws have waffled on whether or both they plan to issue back pay. Their decisions after the shutd

Back pay isn’t guaranteed, and Congressional leadership has gone back and forth about whether back pay is owed. I would put money on any back pay being partial at best. (I understand that this is waste, fraud, and abuse that is being cut?)

I'm interested in such a model in part because I am curious where the safety line is. There's a point after which it becomes reckless to fly in the US.
