Solar + Wind + Battery doesn't require water, and that is what Google is planning to use. I did some searching and found that they've funded additional buildout of a large renewable generation plant (solar + wind + battery) in Gujarat, plus transmission lines to bring the power the 1100 miles from Gujarat. The Gujarat plant is already in progress, the government is investing $70B in it, and it's a particularly good area for renewable generation because the seasonal wind cycle is exactly opposite the seasonal solar cycle, so as the days get shorter and solar generation declines, the wind ramps up, and vice versa.

No they didn't, because Congress set the limit by statute and did not give the FCC authority to override it. This isn't complicated but you're still getting it wrong.

Some give him planes, some want him to build a resort on top of their genocide...

At this rate we will end ourselves with AGW before we achieve AGI.

But if not that, it'll be nukes or biotech.

It's looking increasingly like the great filter is that ambition exceeds ability while ability also exceeds restraint, and at the same time, a species gains the ability to destroy itself. TBF our sample size is small, but it remains compelling...

Really? They were deliberately choosing genes? They selected them from a list? We usually only see that in science fiction, please provide more information on this amazing technological development!

They're all part of one creature with an inadequate brain and too many assholes. It's money and power (but I repeat myself) versus humanity and always has been.

Is someone paying you to say stupid shit? How do I get that deal?

Uh yeah, a bunch of years ago. That's why they removed the evil canary from their mission statement.

I like how zionists insisting that other people are mentally ill can only suggest horrible things and then think that proves anything other than that they are terrible

This tells you how important he is to the function of Azure, a "service" which has been hacked multiple times so badly that there are no logs and Microsoft doesn't know what happened.

They hired him for his recognizable name, and he's so involved with the business that he has time to do... this.

Perhaps Microsoft should try to find someone who can solve Azure's problems to run it.

OK, but our legal system doesn't actually permit us to punish the people who did it with as much harm as they doled out...

lolol obviously not the "he" I meant but you're so deep into your love of child molestation you can't see straight

If the weather is bad enough, people choose not to go out in it. Unless someone has a gun to your head, you always have a choice.

Heh, there's some validity to that. Human drivers are a daily rolling disaster that society tolerates only because there hasn't been any reasonable alternative. If-and-when autonomous vehicles actually become cheap and reliable enough, I suspect that human driving will gradually start to be curtailed -- not necessarily by banning it outright, but by making licensing requirements more restrictive, by making insurance costs more onerous, and/or by "nerfing" the cars such that they simply refuse to perform dangerous maneuvers.
