One of my greatest criticisms of higher education, or at least the academic institutions (having spent almost 20 years working for one), is that they approach education as a means to an end. Students are viewed as a…
Do we really take away from the artist? In what way? The obvious answer is that you take away a purchase the person to give the gift would have made. One could argue that there is also value in propagating someone’s art…
Data centers surely provide jobs to the local community. Construction can bring in thousands, but even the operation of a modern data center employs a lot more people than the common narrative would lead you to believe.…
This is the issue. There are big differences in how individual companies build and operate data centers. The average hyperscale data center from a major player is vastly different than some of the crypto mining, small…
The common man is grossly uninformed and highly susceptible to misinformation of which there’s a lot of around data centers.
This highlights what I think is missing within a lot of tech companies today. I don’t know too many people who are so passionate about what they’re doing that they would sneak into their former employer’s office…
I would disagree. Theres enough information readily available to be able to see what relative home values are, where the good school districts are, etc. The only reason I’ve ever used a realtor is because I don’t have…
I view self help books in a similar light as management books. They're usually not going to teach me anything new. What they will do is present something I already know, in potentially new ways and new contexts that…
Easy to say, harder to stand behind when you’re savings are depleted, you have a mortgage and a family to care for, and maybe you’re on a work visa about to be kicked out of the only country your kids have ever known…
Sorry, but your rant comes from a place of naive privilege when you assume meta engineers all had options. I know a number of people that accepted roles with companies they vowed never to work for after being laid off…
Representative Beatty serves her own interests and her involvement Kennedy Center naming was just more of the same performative politics she routinely engages in. She's on the verge of being an octogenarian and missed a…
I agree with the post, though I have to admit I was tempted for a split second to send them an email offering to buy them a coffee.
You can occasionally find great deals on Facebook marketplace which is where I found mine. It can be a bit stressful to give someone off the street a couple grand in cash and assume the risk but in my case, we were able…
Better than most businesses. Most data center campuses I've seen, regardless of construction, were behind a substantial permitter fence and had some on-premise guard force. Like razor blades, they would be better to…
Elon's was definitely illegal/unpermitted gas turbines as countless news stories that came out can attest but do you have any support to claim Meta's turbines are?
You obviously have never been to Ashburn, Virginia. Look up Lord Fairfax Pl. in Ashburn, VA on Google Maps and note the data center just outside that neighborhood.
I recently just picked up a used, like new, M5 Vision Pro for a steal. I've had it for a month and use it a few times a week, mostly for content consumption but very occasionally when I need to work, want a bigger…
Out of curiosity, do you have a similar example of a Democrat doing something like this? Most left leaning people I know aren’t exactly happy with Nancy Pelosi’s insider trading activities and are in full support of…
That seems to be what Barnes and Noble has become. Every store now has books, toys, and a coffee shop inside and it seems they’ve been thriving in the last few years. My biggest complaint though is that the bargain bin…
I personally consider the war on drugs to be a colossal failure and there tends to be widespread agreement that the War on Drugs was somewhat effective at enabling enforcement, but ineffective or counterproductive at…
I think this time is different. I’m not Gen Z, yet once my kids are out of school, I’m planning to leave tech behind as much as possible. When I started in tech, at the dawn of the internet, it was an exciting field…
Speaking as someone who has gotten dirty looks and questioned by mothers who wanted to know who I was, why I was at the playground, and which children were mine, it does happen or at least it did years ago when my kids…
I’m curious if you looked into the industry to see how much water and power modern data centers actually use or whether you’re just blindly accepting the popular narrative? I’ve seen a lot of verifiably false claims…
While I don’t disagree, the problem I often have with medical professionals is that they tend to be arrogant and unable to take in new information to adapt and evolve their frameworks. I was married to a doctor, helped…
The core issue is that most Americans aren't civically engaged. They don't take the effort to track what's happening within their government which then means that they don't know and are unable to hold their elected…
