wtf are you talking about? When many internet things came out - they were overpriced BS and people that were not emprise level could not afford it. Example - networking - you used to pay for the software and hardware AND each node you wanted to connect (users) and it was like 1k - in the f'ing 80's PER user connected (BNC connectoins) We started pirating DAY 1. Back in the dos days. back when games could not stop anyone from coping the disks so you had to have decoders (code wheels and every other type of physical decoder) - I did this before windows 3.1, more like dos 2/3 ish.

I know like 4 people directly that left that job - as it pay's shit. One was living at home - and could not live on the piss poor wages. They all HAD to leave to make more $$. They were even getting OT - not even close to enough.

WELL, either AI takes it, and it's used for training (this would be the best option) OR they make it total garbage and everyone leaves It needs to earn money somehow, just a question of how.

They should just make sure that - they don't use too much of the water (normal business amount) that does not affect people in a meaninful way - there are many ways to do this. As well as - make sure that Energy will not go up for anyone if installed - so enough cheap - RENEWABLE energy is created to power it (it is faster to build renewables than to build the dataceters, so very easy). This way we don't say a blanket NO, but a resonalbe sure, if you meet these easy to do things.

Can confirm that age watches that. The bigger reason is basic af - it's FREE vs paid. And that age group has no extra money for anything. Want people to do other things? - give them the money and time to be free enough to do it.

You think this is bad? This data is old. This is getting much much worse with the added - not coming back anytime soon. Canadians do not travel to places they are not welcome in - not on mass anyways.

Today sure, but China is on track to make more solar per year - than the whole of the USA needs by 2030. This is not a small thing - this is huge. As in China could go fully green - next decade AND have mutiple times more power than any other country. You know, the soon to be biggest issue for AI growth or in many heavy industries....

1st - really again? same bs about TV 2nd - then give us options. After school programs? (paid is fine) but yea - fix the family dynamic and talk to me after. After school anything = money. Want a paret to spend more time - then don't work them to death so when they get home they cannot do anything but rest. Maybe even let a single parent earn enough to have a family.

Nothing needed to be pushed. The cheapest solution solves this - the issue is they loose contol if they do that. Why would anyone need to fund a cheaper solution? Go cheap - go green. Remove the BS and make it happen. Keep in mind the real issue they have - energy = power, and going green removes this - forever

Battery demand is through the roof - for GOOD batteries. So you're saying these factories are producing low grade items and won't sell? great...

Your old MSM news sites - it is now waaaayyy too easy to find the lies. I am not talking just the 1/2 truths they always do, but the outright lying. Now that we have options - if I catch a like - they are on the radar - I catch a few more - I unsubscribe FOREVER and don't look back. This is not the old days where we had limited choices and what could you do. If I find a brand that is a POS, I leave it for good - forever Neat thing is - the boomers are doing this as well. Hell my +80 year old dad LOVES TickTok... As well, before someone like CNN could just fire a few people and then viewers would come back to watch the new person. Nowadays - nope, bad person, I leave the band - for good. Time for a new brand. And really - stop lying about basic things that we can fact check ourselves.Or your going byby forever.

so like with Math and calculators... you don't want students to use the tools they would 100% use at work???? Does not sound like your teaching at all. Sounds like your stuck in the past.

same thing. It's just a tool. Not using it - is like saying - are you always going to have a calculator on you. And today - the answer is YES. Not using it - means your not training students to use the tools they have TODAY. So they will be unqualified to go forward... sounds bad. for the cavement out there - it would be like building a house with no manmade tools saying - just use your hands, but here are the nails - so go use a rock or something.

Great idea. Good luck. The EU has made is so hostile to computer companies - that all the talent moved away - to the USA.SO, to get it back/keep it - you need to change MANY laws and rules so that it makes it attractive to have a software company in the EU. This is a great thought, but the system is not currently setup for this - and the speed in which the EU is moving... it would take decades for this to change and then decades to actually build it. Not a short term solution, this is a very very very long term thing - VERY worthwile, but long.

All I am getting from this is - under 200k/year household income = under middle class :( Can confirm, crazy.
