Just to be clear this happened during construction. It has nothing to do with whether or not computers go inside of the building.

My comma.ai does this but when I have sunglasses on it beeps too much. That's fine with me but wow I can't imagine how most of the population will react

Examples of SEIU ballot box warfare

+ Proposition 8 (2018)

+ Proposition 23 (2020)

+ Proposition 29 (2022)

Probably their best example is "Healthcare Worker Minimum Wage Drive (SB 525)". They created a bunch of populist local initiatives about minimum that would have been a logistical nightmare for hospitals. In exchange for pulling their measures they got SB 525 passed as a truce.

I hate these tactics. California direct democracy is awful yes, but the way this group weaponizes it is downright disgusting.

> It sounds like you consider "economically explosive populist slop" is anything that helps poor people.

But honestly it sounds like you're just flat out not interested. You are the perfect target for their bullshit and I'm sure they couldn't be happier about whatever is in your head

SEIU UHW has a history of bringing economically explosive populist slop to the ballot as a negotiating tactic. Usually it's in the form of something about dialysis clinics but this time they're trying a different angle.

What about that were you specifically "interested" in?

Anyone who's not able to populism their way into a cash blast for their org.

I am not a billionaire. But I don't want to risk losing my job or moving out of state so that the dialysis people can cash a paycheck.

Seems to be an exclusive article that's also paywall. Anyone know the story?

Ensuring secure elections and auditing extensively seems like good practice. However the issue has become political and neither party is interested in that. The right claims fraud with no good evidence, in response the left has decided that our elections perfectly secure and to suggest otherwise gets you a sound "tsk tsk"

That wasn't really an ad hominem attack.

If you're going to use the model to learn history you're going to learn the version of history that the model teaches you. A little bit of digging around grokpedia should give you some idea of what that model thinks

Can you explain how new data centers "destroy democracy"?

Pretty sure that problem is not limited by computer power

Those two guys removed an established easement. Sure one can argue that it should never have been installed in the first place, but it was and apparently it became widely used. They had no business taking it down.

I don't there's any reasonable way to have a conversation about trends when you're only talking about a dozen famous people.

Yes Elon lost his marbles but my colleagues have not suddenly become "tech bro" that we constantly hear about today.

20 years in and my coworkers are about the same. What's changed is the public perception.

Arguably because of the media

I think the only way it makes sense is if local busybodies succeed in banning data centers from the ground.
