big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

Elon Musk, the guy who did two Nazi salutes in public and has previously described himself as a “free speech absolutist,” thinks it should be a crime to “falsely” call someone a Nazi or a fascist.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

I was thoroughly marinated in the laissez faire pro-business attitude that prevailed in tech in the early 00s. But consulting Very Big Corporations cured me of the belief that private sector is more efficient simply by the virtue of being private.

still reeling from the fact that Amazon apparently spent 100s of millions of dollars trying to build a competitor to Steam that no one fucking heard of until some dude on LinkedIn talked about how it had bombed, and, like, they just face ZERO consequences for that waste of money.

Australia take note Ukraine is a US ally.
We cannot trust the US to help Aus in times of need. AUKUS is a one way deal. Our taxpayer cash flows to the US. We lose sovereignty and become a target in the event of war. We don’t even get the subs we are paying through the nose for.
Ditch AUKUS.
