In addition to the rest of us having raised electric rates at home... there was an article on /. just last week, about two datacenters built in Nvidia's home town... that are sitting unused, because they're waiting for electrical power to b built out.

There's also the issue of the chipmakers claiming 5 years, when the real lifetime is 3... or, as Cory Doctorow noted, if you *really* push them, 56 *days*.

Um, er, I hate to break it to you, but people are buying EVs and hybrids from companies *other* than Tesla. And the wankpanzers are a disaster, and sales a fraction of what Mu$k was promising. Instead, people are buying electric F-150s.

You're a fucking ignorant idiot. You don't have a clue what the words "socialism" and "communism" mean, or how they're different. Tell us, is Norway "communist"?

You clearly have no clue about hopepunk, or cyberpunk, for that matter.

What you need to know: "the street finds uses of its own" (for what, five or ten years before, was "cutting edge tech".)

Easy way to tell us that you have no idea how big Africa is.

Banks, these days, don't borrow to issue loans, they add the numbers to their data... effectively creating money out of nothing. That way, they don't have to borrow and pay interest.

Show me a company that doesn't want to do that... esp. since the stock valuations have no relation to reality.

... their *revenue* was $38B. And they were operating at a loss.

What the hell are you doing on /.? This is "news for nerds", and you're clearly an ignorant idiot.

Go look up "Atlantic Current", and see what it does, and the effect it has on US, Iceland, Greenland, and northern Europe (and the UK and Ireland).

Um, it was capitalists who lobbied/bribed through into law *against* the right to repair.

So let me get this straight: they built the datacenters from investment money... and now, due to lack of power, they're just sitting there doing nothing. And the debt they were built with is earning nothing... actually, given property, etc, taxes, is loosing money.

Let's see if we can bring the world economic collapse on sooner.

I see, as opposed to politically-motivated DUI hiring - must be white, male, and allegedly Christian (no Catholics need apply). Competence and experience not necessary.

Sorry, but your word salad makes no sense. The one part is "Trump is stealing", and leave off the rest. He's playing the leveraged buyout and stripping game, and going after his enemies (that is, anyone that doesn't kiss his ass).

+10.
Fine, allow *reading* only. Anything else is *stupid*.

When are the CEOs, whose leaked emails *said* that it was "too much trouble" to pay royalties, and trained on stuff from stolen archives, going to be held *criminally* liable for receiving stolen goods?
