I think we are going to see a 'correction' we go down 10% or or less from recent highs and trade sideways for a while.
Most of the big guys in AI are already down more than 10% in the past week. Today isn't looking any better. Once Nvidia reports tomorrow after the bell will we see stabilization, assuming they have good news to report.
I was wondering why a site I was on this morning decided to stop loading. Since other sites were still working I thought it might be the site itself. The hamsters got too tired and took a nap.
Is English not your first language?
The quote - from Epstein's own email - is that Trump was trying to stop it. Don't you know what words mean?
Take a breath.
I don't care about intra Republican politics, I'm glad the files are being released; I want them out unredacted. Isn't this a good thing?
Great example of the comment smegma I was talking about!
My kids were born in the 1990s and my youngest daughter was in her early 20s when she was talking to a cousin 10y younger than she. The cousin had asked about a sweatshirt she was wearing that had cursive text - nothing complicated, probably "dogs are cute" or somesuch - and my daughter AMAZED her by being able to read the script.
Then the cousin asked "It's cool that you can read that, can you speak it, too?"
Yeah, I'm not sure mandatory cursive classes are going to help at this point.
Genuine question.
We hear in semi annual oscillations about the predicted, imminent "death of the PC for gaming" and "death of the console"... When does this non news stop being interesting?
But in that sense we're getting into semantic hairsplitting. "Annoying" != "dirty"
To your points:
* Noise of generators and cooling systems, the DC being built too close to existing homes, more of a zoning council fail but it happens as DC money can make the council turn a blind eye to the local residents desires.
Zoning issue, as I mentioned.
* Vibration, lots of big engines and such can create vibrations that travel thru the ground (or very low frequency) that can disturb sleep and such even if it doesn't measure on the sound meter.
Zoning issue, as I mentioned.
* Diesel exhaust if that's used for generators.
CLEARLY a Zoning issue, as I mentioned.
* Water supplies can be consumed (& denied to locals) or even "contaminated" (like being warmed too much for the local wildlife), or aquifers can be drained faster than they can replenish.
Not a zoning but pricing issue; I've been involved in commercial/industrial planning, and water consumption is certified; if it exceeds capacity, it shouldn't get a permit (zoning issue, basically) at all. Otherwise, it should be charged for what it takes; if the price is calculated accurately this shouldn't be an issue.
The warming of local aquifers and surface water is 100% a valid point though as I don't know of any regulatory system that comprehends/accommodates/costs this into the factor. Good point.
* Electricity as this article is about
Pricing issue. If it's slated to need X mwh, then it should be charged for it. If the local grid has to build capacity to accomodate, that's a planning issue and likely a surcharge for the major user(s). If this isn't happening, again, local regulatory issue.
* Dropping local property values of existing homes
If a business is properly zoned, compelled(!) to comply with local ordinances about noise, emissions, vibration, traffic, etc there's zero reason this would impact local home values.
* Taxation issues because cities want to bring the DC in and give tax abatements, but there are still local services required so the extra costs get passed on to others
The tax abatement issue is absolutely a genuine one; such arrangements HAVE TO ensure basic services are paid for, and that only the marginal 'profit' from such projects' taxation is in play. Most local councils have some level of corruption, unfortunately, and too few local residents give enough of a shit to make any change.
"The company naturally took a build now/ permit later approach to essentially building their own power plant, as one does."
I live in MN. We were building a coating plant here in the late 1990s and it involved a thermal system to burn away solvents that escaped from our coating process (we're a EU firm, and have been recycling this back into power for our dryers for years reducing solvent emissions to basically 0) so I was heavily involved with the MN PCA and EPA who (surprisingly) had no algorithms to comprehend such a system yet in the US. So I had a year or more of fairly deep engineering discussions with regulators.
TN certainly has its own rules but I don't understand how a company could have a "The company naturally took a build now/ permit later approach to essentially building their own power plant, as one does." Doesn't your example VERY SPECIFICALLY support my point that this isn't so much an issue about the data center but about the lax implementation of basic regulation and zoning limits that the could do so and even survive the regulatory consequence?
Ultimately
I didn't say I disagree with it, but it illustrates the stupidity of your trying to make this about chauvinism.
I genuinely don't know. I don't have all the answers.
But when the literal best dirt the Dems can come up with is "Trump is mentioned!" even then the point isn't what they're trying to make it seem:
"In one of the emails, dated January 2019 and sent to columnist Michael Wolff, Epstein said of Trump: âoeOf course, he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.â"
Where did he claim this?
He famously said the Epstein and he shared a love of women but Epstein's tastes 'ran a little young'.
He tossed Epstein out of Maralago for creeping on young female staff, and volunteered cooperation with Epstein's only prosecution.
Epstein papers that have been released show he seethed about Trump.
The Dems tried a docudump that - if they had anything - would have ABSOLUTELY included damning evidence. "Trump knew about the girls" - sure, Epstein himself talked about it, but not in the way that helps your point:
(From the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us...) In one of the emails, dated January 2019 and sent to columnist Michael Wolff, Epstein said of Trump: âoeOf course, he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.â
He's literally mentioned telling them to STOP. Are you people stupid?
Now Trump is fighting his own congress to get the papers out.
