Like with rodeo, football, car racing and a ton of other competitive or recreational endeavors.
People can decide what they want to do and what they are willing to pay to do it. It is freedom. Freedom to thrive, freedom die, freedom to excel and the freedom to fail.
People die. As a society, being ok with people dying while trying to accomplish what is difficult needs to be ok. As long as they are adults making informed decisions ...

Warned?
China is big. China is aggressive. That said, China has zero ability to project its military any appreciable distance. The US in not threatened by China ... Yet.

Do not teach more and expect greater so that it is harder to get the A. Just do an arbitrary cut off number. Easy, and there is no data to prove you suck at your job.

Yeah. That interview made the CEO look like an incompetent, greasy villian.

Screw Google most of the time. They ARE evil.
That said, I don't trust anyone that would break this down with an, "Environmental Measurement" is not to ever be trusted at all.

It is misdirection. This is about the fact that people in areas that data centers are looking to build hate what these data centers do to their areas.

Instead of building out new power and increasing the bills of residents in a new data center area, they side step it by using, "excess power availability" in widespread areas. Sucking up the excess. PREVENTING, areas from having excess which means that in 6 months or a year, forced power upgrades in these areas leading to higher power bills.

Basically the same thing happening to people but hidden with a small veil of separation of the consequences running these, "Data Centers". In effect they are just spreading the problem around and hiding it.

Dawkins has a lot going for him. Not a dumb guy. Never seen anything about him that let me feel like he is an expert in AI.
In this, I consider his opinion worth as much as any semi intelligent or more, random person on the street.

Everyone that was not brain dead KNEW the moment this passed that it would end up a nothing where billions were siphoned into friendly, "Businesses".
It has accomplished what it was created to accomplish. It was a 100 percent success to the politicians that had their hands in it.
They only people surprised are the idiots that should have never been allowed to vote in the first place.

Cool. So, TDS Trumps all other things. Got it.

Again, so Jared Isaacman is doing a good job but, Elon thought he would be good so ... Crimes.
Cool, so, that would be true for any person highly involved in the Space industry. So, we should only get the opinions of those that have nothing to do with NASA about the next NASA Administrator? Or, is it colored vision?

That said, you are going to get voted up for stating that even though previously they got all the contracts based on being awesome, once Trump got in and they got the same contracts it is sus. Then when called out, "forest for trees" bullshit.
Same is same bro. You don't have to love Trump or Elon to clearly see that SpaceX is the cheapest and most capable space program in existence currently. They single handedly lowered the cost to put stuff in orbit Pre SpaceX $90,000 / Kg to LEO. Now, Falcon 9 charges $2,800 per, Starship is set to smash even that. Anytime they do not get the contract and could have done it, someone is paying more for a launch that is done with a craft with a lower safety rating than the Falcon 9. So, you have to ask (Other than cases designed to keep launch capability DIVERSE) who got paid off.

There is no reason to ask for Space X. Because the reasoning is simple. They have an excellent record of doing what was said to be impossible. Doing it safely and at an extremely low price.

It's all good though, this is Slashdot after all. Nothing but numbers and facts, Guaranteed to be modded -1 Troll in 10 min.
When you see it. You will know that points here mean nothing if there is any hint of politics. Every Anti Trump even that has no info gets modded up and everything that does not hate when hate can be done is modded down.

So, now we are at the point where in order to not be wrong and evil Trump has to prove the negative?

So, Elon did not need bribes for a decade or more, Trump becomes president, Elons business change nothing, but now suddenly, "We don't really know"?
No, we do. All things staying the same, there is no logical reason to just suddenly pull doubt out from thin air just because you do not like the current admin.
I mean, when spelled out, you have to admit that this is a reach, right?

Not true.
You can flip the topsoil from one end of the country to the other. Nothing left but desert.
Let the people know they have 2 weeks to overthrow their government or war crimes will happen and the problem will be solved.
Fuck the Geneva convention when the other side does not follow it. End the ability for Iran to do anything violent.

Not arguing anything you said. Stop being a dick about it.
All that taken in, the moment they decide they can hold the world hostage ... Put them down.

OK.
That said, what we are saying is that Iran can do what ever they want and no one can do anything about it or we will allow them to shut down the global oil trade?
I think maybe there is something else wrong there as well.
