I've known pretty far right people that are empathetic. That doesn't matter, given what they support, though. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing.

And given the party Daniel supports, saying he doesn't want a monoculture... it seems like you are being naive. There are lots and lots of right-wing people in the USA that over the years never said far right things... but their actions have shown a different story.

I think you need to judge Daniel on his actions, not his words or your gut.

Who sees the party as left wing? Its seems like a disingenuous argument to make.

I’ve know people that took a very long time to beat Lyme, through multiple rounds of antibiotics. Avoidance is very much the best path.

Not going to downvote you, but you missed the point of Roy Batty and his speech. Roy’s mind was indistinguishable from humans, and that’s why he was feared by humans and was given an artificially short lifespan. And the quote you referenced proves his humanity.

I don't think so. Look at these numbers:

  | Year | Capacity (GW) | Construction Spending |
  | 2015 | 0.2 – 0.3 GW  | $1.8 Billion |
  | 2016 | 0.3 – 0.4 GW  | $2.2 Billion |
  | 2017 | 0.4 – 0.5 GW  | $3.1 Billion |
  | 2018 | 0.5 – 0.6 GW  | $4.5 Billion |
  | 2019 | 0.6 – 0.7 GW  | $6.2 Billion |
  | 2020 | 0.8 – 1.0 GW  | $8.0 Billion |
  | 2021 | 1.2 – 1.5 GW  | $10.0 Billion |
  | 2022 | 2.0 – 2.5 GW  | $15.0 Billion |
  | 2023 | 3.5 – 4.0 GW  | $20.0 Billion |
  | 2024 | 6.4 GW        | $35.0 Billion |
  | 2025 | 8.5 GW        | $46.0 Billion |
  | 2026 | 13.6 GW       | $50.7 Billion |

2026 figures represent full-year capacity projections and annualized construction spending rates.

There is absolutely no way that increase was planned due to precisely planned for capacity. It's speculation.

What the comments fail to point out (and I haven't read the article to find out if they address it): the number of data centers being built is based on speculation of need and is a dramatic over-estimate. It has to be. What, other than AI has happened in the last few years that would warrant that many new data centers? How do they know there will be customers for that capacity? There will not be advances in algorithms, etc that do AI much more efficiently? (We know China is making strides in that!)

It's complete speculation! It's the new gold rush and everyone wants a data center. Most of these data centers might not even be built! And the ones that are, might never make any profit.

Construction jobs, yes. After that, a skeleton crew and a bunch of people in far off places, possibly outside the country.

I started with gosmacs then switched to gnu emacs in 1985ish. So about 40 years. The renaissance of emacs development in the last decade has been very nice to see.

Krugman sure is a good, probably even great, writer. His prose is almost effortless to consume. On the content, very interesting.

I think we can all agree that information should be behind a -v CLA. It's probably just something no one has thought of doing. I've learned over the decades to just ignore it.
