This is the play. They are giving up $3.3B (?) in incentives to the get the data center, which will strain the power grid and cost citizens. Why not (bribery) invest that in the power grid directly so it can support both, and monetize on it. Almost nowhere has the power needed for these data centers, so advertising reliable power would be a big selling point. And you can charge them enough to recoup the investment over time, and the citizens they are supposed to represent would actually benefit.

Right, and Palantir will immediately copy that data. So effectively there’s no difference.

I’d be pissed if it was my editor. A compiler used on a global scale would make sense.

It was mentioned in other comments.

The high deductible is the insurance company taking advantage of you. The fact that you can save for that tax free does not offset that you shouldn’t have to pay for it in the first place.

Apples and oranges.

Contractors get paid directly with no taxes taken out. They must deduct it from their pay themselves.

Employees get taxes deducted before they are paid.

As someone who has felt exactly the way you describe and am now on the other side of it, here’s my advice.

1. Do not give up or shy away from that feeling that you need to completely get away from your present surroundings. You don’t want to look back in 10 years and wish you had taken the opportunity when you could.
2. Don’t foolishly think that getting away like this will fix everything. It will help, but new problems will also emerge and if you haven’t addressed the demons in your head, you’ll never truly escape them. Therefore…
3. Get the treatment you need and make sure it works before you end up in the middle of nowhere with no options and no escape. The gun is only a concern because it’s convenient. When you’re desperate, anything becomes convenient. The ocean becomes convenient. Get your brain fixed.
4. If you already tried to get your head right and it’s not working, get to a state where Ketamine is legal and schedule an appointment at the clinic. It is life changing and worth every penny of the $2400 it costs.
5. See number one. Fucking do it!

It seems it travels much farther and much faster when using metric. No wonder they chose it over imperial.

RSS is enabled by default on every WordPress install. That’s a big part of it.

They do exactly that. You just use a keyboard instead of a mouse to accomplish the task.

You literally don’t understand voting in America.

Absolutely not.

MANY people who wanted to vote were prevented from voting. Many votes weren’t counted. There were bomb threats across Atlanta. All of it was enough to swing the election.

Some Americans voted for this, but the majority did not.

On the flip side, this makes a ton of money for ad platforms.

They don’t call it bleeding edge for nothing.

I feel like nobody read the article. It mentioned an “ad carousel” which would be a fairly standard way to offset costs on free plans. I don’t see that specifically as being enshitification. Now, if they start altering AI responses, that is definitely enshitification. I have no doubt they will eventually get there, but I don’t think that’s what this article is about.

What I’m hearing is that even if you aren’t a Signal user, you might benefit from having Signal installed on your device?

I wouldn’t assume any news about technology being used by IDF to be true in the first place. It could just as easily be misinformation.

I’ve long wanted a keyboard like that as someone who just writes code all day everyday. But my fear is that I’ll get stuck on a regular keyboard, like when I’m traveling, and just be completely helpless having forgotten how to type normally.
