Isn't Broadcom a public company, not a private equity fund?

So end neutrality on fiber? I don't like that at all.

Being a psychopath/sociopath is a key ingredient in getting rich. Generally some opportunity had to come along that required a disregard for the welfare or fairness to others. A lot of folks stepped away from an opportunity because they didn't think it was right, but a wealthy person likely seized upon some such occurances.

Depends entirely on the numbers and whether those resources are scarce in that place. If the datacenter ends up funding the expansions, and then the community make a profit every month forerever on supplying those utilities, it's a win.

So basically create a permanent underclass of indentured servants...

"Past performance is no guarantee of future returns" applies to any recorded dataset.

Not to recorded datasets, particularly. For example, that's the reason to think the sun will rise tomorrow morning - it always has.

When I think about AM radio now, I think about how Alex Jones was successfully sued for $99 bazillion for saying AM radio stuff. Where I grew up, Rush was always to be found on a channel or two.

Depends on "your idea" - was it exclusively yours, does it even constitute an "idea" by that point? I took a tour of Motorola and made a pre-service-launch phone call on Iridium in 1998. SatComms hasn't been an "idea" for many decades, it's a big area that advances with thousands of new ideas every year.

Any reason to disbelieve it or the benefits? Or just emotionally-centered anti-AI-sentiment?

That "something" is "I'll do it because it gets me money. As long as I get paid, I'm good with it and let the courts decide later on if it's legal or not."

I'm not saying it is a *good idea* for a community to sell out like that, I'm just saying a majority likely would take the deal.

Fine, show us all your simple way to port Doom to SQL.

Finding a single place willing to put up with a datacenter is as much success as deploying thousands of these hypothetical space datacenters.

For the cost of a *single* SpaceX launch, they could basically bribe an entire small town's population to be happy with them. $50K a person and they'll *probably* pass public comment.

Well if people are successfully blocking data center construction, their objections are a 'factual' problem for big tech. But people are just going to switch to complaining about blocking out the stars.
