I think I have a different idea of "valuable". Rural communities need connectivity for sure - but we also need reliable radio astronomy for a whole host of reasons - space weather …

Because "POOR PEOPLE" have so much stuff! Why do they have so much stuff if they're poor! https://youtu.be/Al5E3KbIfeo?t=24 I mean they should really be more frugal. Having a refri…

I'm saying it's blaming the victim to assume the problem is that they aren't frugal enough.

So if I don't eat the bones too, I'm leaving nearly a whole dollar on the table? Damn. I can't believe it! I could be saving even more!!! I'm such an idiot.

And yet, the very study you linked to concluded that despite 5 years of research on the topic, it still isn't clear what the actual causes are. But you know, I definitely think you…

You know, you make such a good point here. The easiest solve for this is for the fat poor people to simply eat rice & beans. That will surely fix both problems.

It's still victim blaming.

Did you really just compare human beings to wild animals who hibernate?

LoL! https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000FF1101 Current price/lb for chicken is $4.23. But of course that's from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, soooo.... can't trust that…

My childcare + healthcare is nearly 3x my house payment.

Wow. I'm at a loss for words with this comment. So, in case you aren't from America, you might not know this: the food that is the cheapest also happens to be the food that is the …

Well clearly the solution here is to eliminate the USDA entirely. 1 in 7 is an outrageous statistic and it will not be tolerated.

Yeah! And they could sell their refrigerators too! They use way too much electricity.

Yeah that's right! If you simply say that this syncs to all my devices, it papers over, or abstracts if you will, the complexity of: secure enclaves/TPMs, symmetric sync keys wrapp…

And then we can compress all of that into a single piece of plastic and call it the Ident-i-eeze.

"You lost me the moment you mentioned iCloud". At least that's the way the majority of people I know react to this line of thinking. The "cloud" is still mysterious and complicated…

Good luck convincing commission-based sales people of this.

I'm going to just leave this here for those of you who use Macs. https://kagi.com/orion/

I was once told by "the architect", and I quote, "put blinders on. I will tell you when to take them off.". The context was I was asking about the why. Looking back on it, yeah it …

If you want to voice opposition there is a petition here: https://resist.bot/petitions/PXVZXD

Yep. And at the same time, it's the residents that are asked to conserve. Meanwhile, we let data centers off the hook when it comes to conservation? When I drive around my town, I …

What I'm struggling to understand is why so many are working so hard to let big tech off the hook when it comes to developing better technology for power and cooling systems. You'r…

My personal experience with suffering from water scarcity: Taking a loss on a crop of corn because the farm at the front of the ditch took more water than they were supposed to tak…

Cities in my area have to buy their water. The sources of water are limited and finite. Data centers also buy it from the same sources. I'm lost. How is a bigger business unable to…
