I'm still keying in programs for HP calculators. The 12c has a Moon Lander script running, and I suck as a pilot. Still.

'this?'

By this, you mean /.? For at least a third of /. race is the preferred tool to attempt to discredit, demean, or dismiss your apparent adversaries.

I expected better from a 6-digit, but hey,

I remember when Reddit wasn't Reddit. When dialogue was often intended to reach understanding.

Not the only motivation, but the various interests promoting limits on 3D printing all have similar goals.

"but how much gets deducted from people's supply"

If you're not going to be serious, good bye. That's not how it works, and you should know better.

The 'buy the old mill building' is an old strategy, throughout New England. Many different industries have done this. And many got tax incentives. Nothing new here, and the resentment towards the new interloper isn't new either. Discount power isn't new either. One wrinkle in this is the separation of generation v distribution. Distribution costs to residences are often higher per kilowatt, while baseload demand for industry throws a wrench into demand management. In Maine there is Hydro Quebec to look to for that new baseload demand. But the Androscoggin mil in Jay, Maine, is already home to 150MW of gas turbine generation, and the 75MW solar farm, not the brightest idea, but maybe that helps. The turbines were used for paper production. The proposed data center was planned to use 175MW regularly, and Central Maine Power has sufficient capacity to meet the demand.

This is about public opinion and such. Valid considerations.

You do know that I really didn't claim to have worked at a data center recently. But I have done some work at data centers in the past, and everything I hear about them today tells me they have changed. Surprisingly little. The thing that surprises me the most is that everyone seems to understand how they work, some because they worked at 1. I did have the rare opportunity to work in several of them for different reasons and at different times. They operate differently but the equation is pretty much the same. No, it doesn't take a lot of people to keep a large data center running. Unless you get a major client come in, or a change, or they change names or hands or whatever. Because really the big work at a data center is changes. But we're really not having a discussion about this bill in Maine that would have denied data centers entirely because that's just a reaction to the perception that they take unfair advantage of resources and infrastructure. And that's an interesting topic, but one that I don't care much about because in the end it won't matter. That data center is going to get built somewhere. And Jay, Maine is not a bad place to do it, unless you're all upset about electricity prices, which in Maine could be solved if you didn't elect Democrats.

Probably...

Such a silly thread. You don't sell many homes without 'infrastructure'. And no data center is built without 'infrastructure'.

You've forgotten it's just about how it's paid for.

"You don't have to work there to know... probably"

Probably.

In other words, you don't know either.

What you should be asking is who believes this is a pay once? Now it doesn't work like that. You'll be asked to pay again even if they have to disguise it as something new

Watch.

I watched the live coverage, I was watching and reading a number of different sources for information, and I've never been so disappointed in space travel coverage in my life. The live coverage was one animation after the other the same old, whatever. The commentators were good at commenting, but they had very little offer. Experts came on to talk about how great it was. Technical details even at a superficially technical level, nope. We used to get a lot better than this in the early Apollo and the Gemini launches. There. You'd get some talk about some of the details. You'd hear a lot more than oh. This is so very hard. I was totally and completely underwhelmed by NASA's coverage and by the official so-called outlets. Boring

You missed. My theology is in no way a prosperity theology. I believe in Christ crucified. You just hate Conservativism, the philosophy of limited government, individual liberty, and constitutional law, among other distinctives. Your other mistakes aren't important in this discussion, if at all.

BTW, none are so selfish as those who expect others also to pay for their largesse.

Actually, I recognize government, to in the US, as recently becoming downstream of culture. This is a fundamental problem, but mostly due to the culture making a concerted effort (for at least 70 years) to reshape government. You're all pretty observant. You see it also.
