I don't know, building your datacenter near a hydro-electric dam or a wind farm, or in a cool place so it doesn't need as much cooling, seems like it actually does make a difference.

They need to pay the ISP for hosting and maintaining it.

No, as I said before, it was not an adversarial negotiation.

"no, see, you SpaceX just proves politicians should be MORE involved...."

I honestly would expect nothing less.......if this study is worth anything, it is going to discuss classified programs in detail, and as such, falls in the category of classified.

Now, whether anything at all should be classified is another question, but if anything should, then a study that discusses in detail classified programs should also be.

Are there only two parties?

I've heard of that hunting method for buffalo, but never for horses. I am not sure horses will follow over a cliff. A burro might, I've nearly seen one do that........

Well actually, I think it'd be cool if they were still around

Maybe. I've had dogs that looked really guilty sometimes when they knew they were doing something wrong.......

I think it's best to just accept that we're animals, but a bit smarter than the rest of them. Our differences are quantitative, not qualitative

It takes more negotiation skill. I recently negotiated a 4-day work week. I took a 20% pay cut for it (totally worth it). Essentially, instead of framing it as an adversarial negotiation, I considered it a problem for us to solve together. "I want to work here, you want me to work here, but this is what I need. How can we solve this problem?" Most of the time was spent helping them overcome concerns. At one point, I said, "yeah, that's a managerial problem, but I'm confident the managers here are capable of overcoming it."

John Kerry is rather upset about it. He seems to think that if only Israel gives Palestinians the right to return, then the Palestinians will want to live in peace.

Wait, why exactly did you vote the second time? It's not like we didn't know he was running a secretive administration before the election (indeed, he made a vote in favor of secrecy while he was still in the senate, before getting elected the first time).

I can sort of understand saying that he was better than the alternatives and that's why you voted for him, but that's not something you would apologize for, really....

I fear it's more a problem of 'being out of touch with reality'

Local hippies protest solar, and really anything

Excuse me, those aren't windows you're looking at, they're rockets. haha what do you propose, giving to welfare? What a joke.
