Comment Re:New strategy to use against data centers. (Score 1) 71

Well, before AI, data centers were just another customer of the local utility. So, the "exact same regulations, environmental and otherwise" was sort of a given. That starts to break down when the DCs build and operate their own power plants.

The whole "Aunt Millie in upstate New York buys her power from a New Mexico solar plant" is sort of bullshit. When she turns her lights on, that power comes from Indian Point.

Nah, this is more like working at a company that measures your productivity in LoC typed.

I worked for an outfit that considered this as a metric. At the staff meeting where this was brought up, I commented that this was unfair. I wrote mostly in C. And all my programs were one line long.

The kid is coddled by society because 'we can't punish kids anymore because that's child abuse',

How many data centers in your immediate area? Are they the modern high density data centers with thousands of GPU units per rack or the old school 4U's in a rack supporting a few websites kind of data center?

As for employment, when is the last time you saw a data center that was bustling with human activity once construction and move-in was finished?

That was a joke! backhoes breaking fiber is part of the natural order.

That's why you should always carry a length of fiber with you. If you ever get stranded with no cell service, you can just bury the length of fiber in the dirt. When the backhoe guy comes along to break it, ask him for a lift.
