You addressed nothing I said/asked. Have a nice day!
So you’re limiting the scope of your analysis to this report only? Where does it mention water usage by housing built in Austin over the past two years? You’re comfortable making those comparisons and concluding how…
Does the article indicate the operating state of Lincoln data center? Is it mature and at planned capacity? Hint: you're looking at early, non-mature numbers, and you may need to look beyond the article to see the full…
Lincoln data center "comes online" in 2026 (info from Google). These are early, non-mature operating numbers. I'm disappointed this wasn't made more clear in the story and, of course, most of the comments here don't…
Not a meaningful amount of water in early reporting from a non-mature operating state. Why are we drawing any conclusions at this point?
They're reporting early numbers from a nonmature operating state, first of all, and on top of that you're comparing them to what you saw ten years ago? Not sure that warrants any conclusions about public perception or…
Hey, I appreciate your advocacy for a good idea.
Fair take, but I'm not seeing anything that makes me buy that rosy theory over Meta just doing PR to get adoption in the dev community.
That may be valid, but it's an entirely separate point that doesn't touch on how Google is doing with AI revenue and how THAT affects the shitty direction they're taking with ads.
Services are back up for me.
I'm looking at Fastmail for email. For other stuff, not sure yet. I've seen folks recommend Nextcloud. I'm similarly dreading moving my files/backups.

Can't access anything this morning. This is getting a bit silly.
Same issue today? Been down for a few hours. > We are currently dealing with residual hardware failures that are likely related to the damage suffered from the overheating incident last week. At the moment we are…
Sorry, I didn’t realize you also had anecdotal evidence. lol
> far too high for a social good Not sure what you're basing this on -- hopefully not just your impression after reading things online.
You're not crazy. The link title (on the frontpage) is "Fastmail Pricing Changes" with zero context and the link is just their current prices. I don't know what the previous prices were.
I didn't say that at all.
Seems like we should be able to disagree, as you're doing here, without all the "that's harsh" (it wasn't) and "who cares?" (people, including you) comments.
Thanks so much!
Sure, but that doesn't allow the author to share an Amazon affiliate link for a product.
Does HN allow spammy posts written for the sake of sharing an affiliate link? Surprised to see this here.
Lol they didn't read the article.
I must flatten it and smooth the wrinkles
I don't see how that behavior being predictable, in your view comparing to humans, means the prompt was "strongly incentivising" it. Perhaps you could strongly predict the outcome, but there was nothing even bordering…
