No but that judge probably got a nice bonus for the ruling.
Sir, I am offended! There is no way this official received a bonus or bribe of any kind before the ruling. That would be unethical!
This officer received his payment after the ruling was made. That makes it a gratuity, which is acceptable, according to no less an authority than Brett Kavanaugh.
How much property? You could just register 1 sqcm of your lawn to each corp....
However, plaintiff has not demonstrated that this policy violates the principle of one person/entity/one vote.
Since when did we ever have a principle of "one entity/one vote"?
This is a gigantic loophole, simply live in that town and register a corporation there and you can vote twice.
Also known as the "Kristi Noem Rule"
For the same reason why they let so much water evaporate. They could convert some of that heat back into electricity, just like they could run closed-loop cooking systems, but it would cost more money than it would save. There's no financial incentive to do so....
.... Until regulators start insisting! These datacenter folks have gobs of money, we shouldn't be shy about requiring them to not ruin the local environment.
It would be best to do it on a national level, otherwise these folks will just shift the development to someplace without the regulations.
Why are people acting surprised? This is exactly what DOGE intended to do.
How many AI datacenters will it take to boil the ocean?
It’s effective in terms of cranking out software. I’m talking about skilled senior engineers managing this directly. They know what they’re about. But at what cost?
Those senior engineers became skilled by starting out as entry-level engineers who didn't know all that stuff, but learned from the senior engineers before them (and by writing a lot of bugs that hopefully got caught by code reviews.) Now, companies are using AI as an excuse not to hire entry-level people.
15 years from now, we will find there are no mid-level people to promote, because they never got their entry-level job and are now waiting tables.
Total guess, but probably $100-150/mo or so to rent 1U (and redundant power), and probably an installation charge (and a charge every time they need to touch the hardware for any reason). There may be extra charges for the uplink.
Unless you have a need for that specific hardware to be there, it would probably be cheaper (and more maintainable) to go rent a virtual server somewhere.
I won't even get contact lenses, I ain't letting them putting a chip in my brain.
Note = loan in this context. OP is saying he doesn't want the burden of a monthly payment on a new car, and would rather buy a cheaper car that he doesn't need to borrow for. (Although these are becoming harder to find, at least in the US....)
