"Groundbreaking" never was MS's forte, they typically let startups test ideas and then buy or swipe an idea when it catches on.
It's a trade off: you get abundant free energy to run the server, with extreme constraints on cooling because your server is running in the most perfect Thermos bottle ever.
Others are taking the opposite tack: undersea data centers for abundant free cooling at the expense of having to get the power down to your servers.
If had to bet on which one is more practial, I'd go with undersea servers. Build them off the coast of Chile, run cables out from batery-backed solar plants in the Atacama desert.

Just be careful; a few old IBM sites had toxic waste problems. It sounds like they were just turning off the lights and water and walking away from these.
One woild hope everything was remediated but I wouldn't bet my own safety on it.
Yeah, that's why they mentioned the ancient Sony camera he lifted.
"Crime with a gun" is a separate crime according to NY.
SCOTUS will strike those down eventually. It's like saying "crime while praying" if it's a right.
Obviously he wasn't using the gun to jack a Betacam. He was probably worried about crackheads in there for the copper.

I was just looking for Milton's Swingline stapler.
If the argument can be proved that they ruined the minds of an entire generation using a massive AI/Big Data model running at n terraflops by deliberately addicting children during the crucial neuronal pruning period of their lives, that is at a minimum going to cost the society tens of trillions of dollars and restitution would be far more than the proposed fines.
Nobody gets a second chance at that pruning stage, at least in this lifetime.
Their profits may be far lower than the damage they caused, but that characteristic is always true of parasitic entities.
This is basically the whole point of the Island of Pleasure warning in Pinocchio.
It remains to be seen what can be proved in Courts but the DSM-6 won't be kind to their arguments as outlined in TFS.
Boeing invented and tested the concept in the 90's.
I would assume the likes Waymo collect and perhaps produce training video on such. If not, they are lazy.

The idea is probably from 1950's comic books but the tech seems brand new since they don't need any landing legs and use a net-on-frame architecture.
People should pay attention because they didn't have orbital technology thirty years ago and now they have a space station, reusable rockets, and are about to have a Moon base.
And possibly ultra-long flighttime 'drones' that can fly over Picatinny Arsenal unimpeded; that much is uncertain. We have no explanation for their energy budget (at least white-world).
Having a country run by engineers rather than professional thieves who hire engineers to justify pillage has certain advantages (and disadvantages).
Let's not get too overconfident.
The endless scroll is predatory at every moment.
It even reloads when you stop for a while. Switch to a different tab, do something else for five minutes, come back - it reloads and refreshes everything. Why? Because that activates a primal fear in your brain that you're losing something, missing something that might've been important, so your instinct is to NOT divert your attention elsewhere.
In theory I would agree, but the issue here is that social media platforms intentionally compromise your ability to make decisions. That's what the addictive pattern is all about. You could at any moment decide to stop scrolling and get back to work or life - but everything in there is designed so that the decision is made for you and bypasses any critical thinking paths in your brain.
And while I'm the first to agree the politicians are sleazebags and are the first ones that need much tougher regulation and laws, it's a fact that laws in this area actually do work. Anti-smoking laws have reduced smoking, for example.
