Considering the capital costs in fitting out these datacenters, the land being 10x more expensive doesn't move the needle much on total cost.

They can try, but presumably as a tiny shareholder you would tell them to go f themselves. Subsidiaries don't have that luxury.

I know this thread is dead, but I should have elaborated. The quality of the individual worker is as good or better with an illegal immigrant, but it's a legal nightmare. If you pay decent wages and have decent working conditions, you don't have to get into that shadiness. There's a reason awful jobs, e.g. roofing, are filled with hard working illegal immigrants and meth heads.

I assume the parent was being hyperbolic. Illegal immigrants is the barrel scraping bottom of the work force.

Defacto dictatorship now, but even when there were elections he wasn't exactly popular. In the 2015 parliamentary elections (2 members per district) he actually placed second behind another member of his own party. He became popular during the 2018 crisis then kept proving to be inept.

I really really hate code review now. My colleagues will have their LLMs generate thousands of lines of boiler plate with every pattern and abstraction under the sun. A lazy programmer use to do the bare minimum and write not enough code. That made review easy. Error handling here, duplicate code there, descriptive naming here, and so on. Now a lazy programmer generates a crap load of code cribbed from "best practice" tutorials, much of it unnecessary and irrelevant for the actual task at hand.

Worse, definitely worse.

It gets much much more complicated than that. There are never ending discussions about FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records. https://www.ifla.org/references/best-practice-for-national-b...

* Work is defined as the intellectual or artistic content of a distinct creation. It refers to a very abstract idea of a creation e.g. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and not a specific expression.

* Expression is the intellectual or artistic realization of a work. The realization may take the form of text, sound, image, object, movement, etc., or any combination of such forms.

* Manifestation is the embodiment of an expression of a work. For example a particular edition of a book or a specific music recording.

* Item is a single exemplar of a manifestation. Cataloguing is generally done, based on an item directly available to a cataloguer

hard to believe the companies are knowingly lying.

If you're working with the feds on a national security incident, and the PR department comes round because some reporters were asking about it, the correct answer is "I don't know what you're talking about."

If he didn't have an ethical problem working for Lockheed Martin why would he? His point is that IF you have an ethical problem with the work you are doing, it shouldn't be the devaluation of stock options that gets you to stop.

It's not nearly as much money in other countries. 5 figures on bad odds vs 6 or 7 figures on bad odds. If it's cheap maybe it's worth a shot?
