@AdamTozser1776 @WSJ Weygovy is cheaper if you're wondering. This is where everything will be headed soon enough though so I figured I would answer the next question vs yours.

@patrickbetdavid @JeffBezos @Jason Then billions would be added to welfare due to refundable credits to get both sides on board.

Taxes did start out as only on the rich then kept expanding.

@JeffBezos @Jason Brilliant common sense argument.
We need more of this.

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@KTLA Ah crap. IE now gonna have more Palisades air and kids staying in on recess.

@NetworkChuck And a token hog. Been balancing this while building working that has to interact with another prebuilt s3 server.

@SpaceX I did a search a few hours ago and grok told me the next launch was the 15th. Dang, was going to look out the window with my son. He loves watching them. Fun to rewatch on the phone as well.

@BjornLomborg A green transition bring possible is still the view of many. Thank you for sharing the book. Will have to give this one a peek.

With energy, we just use more, more, more
The great empirical point in Fressoz’s book
"Indeed, the very idea of transition turns out to be untrue... the world now burns more wood and coal than ever before"

English

There is no energy transition
We simply use more and more of everything
— fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables, solar and wind
"Rather than replacing fossil fuels, renewables are adding to the overall energy mix"

The Guardian has — wrongly — been telling us for decades that the world is transitioning away from fossil fuels Now they finally admit achieving it would be a "historic breakthrough" And of course, the world still won't theguardian.com/science/audio/…

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Is this military demand or consumer demand? If you want to keep on this consumer demand angle, you now have to justify why the military and government is picking winners in your "free" market.

I’m the only developer of data centers on earth that graduated from environmental studies. I'm pretty aware of what these concerns are. They are around air, water use, heat, noise pollution. So sustainability is at the heart of what we do in terms of all these proposals. We search for the best technology. There's many air-cooled turbines now, so you're blending in air-cooled versus water. There's so many different ways to generate power. We can also put a percentage of the power generation through solar, wind, and batteries because the battery technology is 10X more efficient than it was just five years ago. So that's very helpful because it makes the cost of energy lower.

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv “Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority – MIDA, for short – is an unusual government entity, one that has an ostensible mission of supporting military efforts” are you a soviet planner now?
English

@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Too lazy to acknowledge your own La-Z-Boy hypocrisy. Raging against data centers while burning bandwidth is peak keyboard warrior. Usage creates demand. You don’t get infinite scrolling with zero infrastructure. Cut your consumption or accept your new server.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv The big picture here is that any use of any consumer technology leaves one incapable of opposing this project on the high ground is a manipulative PR.
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Note no comments of whatever project your referring to. You're too invested in that tree to see the forest. Take a step back.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv You want to blame the consumer for using any technology, when you make the unsupported claim that this specific project is vital infrastructure for basic browsing.
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv I'm beginning to think you're a bit as this has nothing to do with the above. Very off conversation. Read the above or put it into AI if you don't understand why that's my response to your nonsense.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv We have limited water here and a gas power plant double the size of current Utah consumption is going to effect air quality. They aren't proposing to build it in a BioDome.
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Sure if that's what you think... Keep your multiple video subscriptions, watch YouTube and be happy you can watch anything you want. Just know that usage is requiring servers somewhere bud (hint... including the servers you're posting to).
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv There's no hypocrisy, they are building this so I can poast on twitter, that's ridiculous. You're just making things up. It isn't for decades old technology. Rather than point to real public benefit, you equate this project with all servers.
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv You seem to be confused. I'm simply referring to the hypocrisy of using data centers while complaining companies are building more because of your use.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv You seem very confused that opposing this project does not mean shutting down every data center. The troll lied about people being bussed in, just look at that crowd. CA's development problem is not Utah's issue. This is a desert with limited water.
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Your response makes no sense as it doesn't apply to my original post and you must realize CA won't allow any nuclear as they were working to shut down Diablo. You inserted yourself in a conversation for no reason.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv You are the troll pretending everyone against this wants to smash every server in the world. This process was a giant troll. None of this is serious development or we'd be building nuclear in California with desalination, instead of destroying Utah for big tech.
English
@nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv This answer brought to you by AI:
Use tech less so companies don’t invest in it. Stop shopping and streaming. Video is 60-70% of data center traffic. If you’re not opting out of a system where AI takes 15-20%, cloud services 10-15%, and gaming 5-8%, you’re part of the demand.
English

@dasexton @kevinolearytv These data centers are gonna work wonderful just like sending our manufacturing plants away
English
@Espalda @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Mr Troll. Bulletin boards didn't require computers and data centers which is fully and completely relevant.
English

@dasexton @nathanrizzolo @kevinolearytv Buddy we've had bulletin boards since the before times. None of this has anything to do with shitposting like you are.
