Is that important context? I would say it's not. What if those companies already made massive profits and said "I think people are willing to pay more for this, so I'm going to raise the price." And there's absolutely…
I assume you got that > 50% number from actual CPI data and not just vibes, right?
And I hope nobody is claiming that mainstream journalism has any accountability
I think that's a hilarious statement given how they drink in the UK
Why would you ever expect that you would have a choice of what products you use at work? You are being paid to work there. And yes, if you feel that strongly, you absolutely do have the option to vote with your feet at…
Isn't part of " Europeans are ought to be able to decide how they want to live their lives" that they have the choice of using products of US tech companies?
The people imposing the rent control are the same people responsible for the shortage, so I just can't get behind that.
Yeah, I hear you. The "stock market is rigged, insurance is a scam" vibe is strong here. HN has really turned into a sounding board for bitter people who think the whole world is out to get them.
They don't care if you have to follow the rules either. Why don't you get mad about the fact that you are forced to obey all these idiotic rules instead of somebody else finding a way around them.
It will be a test of what they think about the relative cost / performance of a model is, and not a single thing more than that.
I was joking (mostly). The stock market absolutely is positive sum, but at the same time things like 2x levered short VIX ETF's exist...
Which we called the "stock market"
Who is causing what here? If there is no demand for those services then the data center will sit there idle and cause no pollution. You can't consume services that cause pollution without accepting your share of the…
The AI companies look at something called the "endless government bureaucracy" and they think to themselves "fuck that, I'm not waiting 10 years for all that bullshit, I'll just use the loophole." I truly cannot…
The entire point of a temporary visa is that the host country can refuse to renew and force you to leave the country at their whim. When you apply for such a visa you accept those terms.
We'll be fine. It didn't take Germany & Japan that long after they started WWII
It's unethical to decide I don't want to go through the whole visa bureaucracy to hire employees?
No it's really not the same because we have laws against racial discrimination, but it is the entire purpose of the state to represent the interests of its citizens above all others.
I am well aware that's not what you are proposing. What you are proposing includes "wait 10 years" which absolutely no reasonable person is going to accept.
That's how it works already. You pay the power company and that money is invested into the grid. Somehow this has worked in Ashburn VA for their massive data center build out so I don't see why it can't work in other…
And this doesn't make you question the narrative that they are really damaging anything?
People complain when you hook them up to the high efficiency generators that power the grid, so this is what they get.
So where is the guy who is respectful to the government and compliant with regulations that is out there building millions of EVs, rockets, and massive satellite constellations? If he existed I could respect your…
It has a political valence when one party is campaigning on punishing and stopping them from building. "Should" is a meaningless word unless I have agency to change that, and I don't.
The whole "temporary jobs" line is completely irrelevant nonsense. Sure, it's correct, but who cares? The alternative is zero. It's not like there is only a limited amount of undeveloped land and a bunch of people…
