There's nuance of course, but in VA, in one county, 37 data centers account for 3GW of power. They're getting that at those vastly discounted industrial rates. Meanwhile, their uti…

Agriculture pays, on average, probably something like 1/1000th of what residential users pay for water.

How long before Axon turns data sharing "opt out"? > One reason why journalists, activists, and residents have been able to learn so much about what police use Flock for is that th…

You are talking about a company that willingly allowed one of its employees to be arrested when the government of that country was threatening to do so (apropos of the rightness or…

> It's like if you tried to insist construction companies evacuate all workers from the construction site before operating any heavy machinery. Maybe that would save some lives, bu…

Yes, screw ups become a certainty. But these are screw ups that the company doesn't meaningfully care to fix. Just as we'd have an issue with a company that has OSHA findings that …

My example was a comment that said "only a shame more [hard r n word]s didn't die. we need to get this place cleaned up" and told that was not in violation of community standards.

They manufactured thousands of CyberTrucks a month too. Then had to have SpaceX buy millions of dollars worth, while there's a huge amount of inventory gathering dust in storage.

> Apparently most of these pilots are trying to build 1500 hrs to be eligible to fly for the airlines, so they are feeling pressured from that angle too. Fixed wing, maybe, I'm not…

> Broadcom with its VMWare acquisition could easily take these guys out if they wanted to. Depends on what you mean by that. Broadcom cremated a lot of VMware's goodwill in the mar…

Tyson in particular. Child labor? Had issues with that. Institutionally approved use of undocumented workers? Check. And a willingness to throw both under the bus when OSHA comes k…

If you're able to change the menu daily, print the menus, walk through the menu with your FOH, then you can have an idea on allergens. Especially in those "really nice" restaurants…

Is your perspective of restaurants, food trucks, sidewalk cafes, etc., in Europe that they're all large market providers, and not smaller operators?

I wish Garrett had been asked about his attitude towards false positives and negatives. He's previously said that he feels false positives are a better option than negatives.

Hah, yeah, there's always anecdotes. I stopped doing frontend a decade or more ago (and even then it had been a smaller and smaller part of my day). But I see the appeal of it. I s…
