"How does adding huge demand on electricity lower the cost of electricity?"
An increase in demand could encourage the creation of new local infrastructure that could lead to lower electricity prices in the long run. While I am not trying to defend the obvious datacenter propaganda, it is important to point out that the economy is like a dynamical system, and things are not always as straightforward as readily assumed.
"These days the Domain Name Service (DNS) is the service selector, not the IP address," Huston told The Register. "The entire security framework of today's Internet is name based and the world of authentication and channel encryption is based on service names, not IP addresses."
We are so used to the constraints put on us by IPv4 that we don't even consider what opportunities open up when every single device on the planet has its own globally routed IP address. It's like an abusive relationship. Not all service resolution works on name based principles, nor is it necessarily the best way in all cases (for example in P2P scenarios). Overlay networks, NAT and private addressing are often not really desirable nor strictly necessary, and this fact should affect how we reason about a future internet.
What's more surprising is the terrible way that this is being handled by certain Linux distributions, with Arch Linux currently a prime example.
Arch isn't meant for people who just want something that works. You are expected to have the skills and willingness to adapt when packages change. I have been running it for 15 years, and during this time I have been forced to manually intervene multiple times in order to keep my system running. If you do not accept this philosophy, Arch is not the distro for you.
My theory is that they hate electric cars because with some solar panels, you can get the energy for them at a cost which the petroleum industry could never match.
I have always viewed their hate for electric cars as just a knee-jerk reaction to their political opponents supporting them.
Now... physical media instead of digital? That, I get.
Yes, in the sense of a 2TB SSD for holding your FLACs, but that wouldn't score you any points within your social group. This recent obsession with retro media formats is obviously just a fad. The media sovereignty angle is just window dressing.
Capitalism is falling apart
Any day now.
Antoinette Hocbo, a former marketing professional who knows the tricks brands use to chip away at willpower, bought a $199 Pilates program, an iPad, and an arsenal of makeup products after TikTok's algorithm served her a stream of aspirational content.
Not my problem.
Consultants are mystical people who ask a company for a number and then give it back to them.
