How does putting it underground mean less heat? It gets hotter the lower you go, and on top of that the problem is heat generated by the servers themselves - where's it supposed to go in a room that's that well insulated?

If you'd had suggested building them atop mountains, you might have been on to something, but those places are typically hard to reach and thus construct upon, and you'd also still need to power them and, of course, connect them to the Internet.

I saw a video complaining they did just that. The problem was that the power plant was a bunch of mobile gas-powered generators and it played havoc with people living nearby, noise and air pollution.

If they'd declared it up front, it'd have been less of an issue, because they'd have been forced to build a little further from the city and probably given clean air mandates to adhere to. But Musk is cheap and figured out he could bypass that by pretending it was just a data center, and then bringing in mobile generators after the data center was built.

Maybe wind and solar mandates would work. And if anyone says "But the wind doesn't always blow" (spoiler, it almost never doesn't, but let's pretend to take that argument seriously especially as it does apply to solar) there's this guy that's in the big-ass battery industry who might be able to help.

His name? Elon Musk.

The more I think about, the more I suspect that's what she means. I mean, not everyone who works for MI-6 understands Russian, right? I assume the qualifications for working there are a little more varied given Russia is not the only country they have to deal with, and just because someone's fluent in Russian doesn't make them generically helpful.

What I suspect she's saying is she wants the company organizationally more fluent in these things, not all individuals who work there.

Pretty much agree, except that I'd use a continuous equation, probably a logistic function, have trades of over 20 years have a negative tax, and have trades of under 10 ns have a tax rate greater than 100%.

I don't think the EU is claiming Apple has a monopoly in the smartphone market, I think the EU is claiming Apple has a monopoly in the market for apps, etc., for iPhones, where its market share is statistically indistinguishable from 100%.

They've also removed, or made more difficult to use, features that I depend on. Probably to satisfy the phone market.

That's an argument for employers not to care what the grades were, if all Harvard grads are good enough, and I'm sure there are plenty of employers who will take any Harvard grad.

But for the employers who wish to be even more selective, hiring only the best of the best (and obviously offering appropriate compensation because they're competing with the other employers who want the best of the best), it's useful for them to be able to use GPA to discriminate between the mediocre Harvard grads (who would presumably be outstanding anywhere else) and the high-performing Harvard grads.

Harvard does the students a disservice by giving most of them A's. And the smartest students are going to realize it and look for an institution that is more discriminating, where they can prove their worth.

I'm surprised that cover letters were ever a very good signal, myself. Didn't students always get someone else to help them write the letters anyway?

Funny, but I'm wondering if there's actually something behind this. Can you elaborate in what way Utah is friendlier to Crime? Utah does have a long history of multi-level marketing scams, but I think that has made the legal environment less friendly to fraudsters.

You don't know what you're talking about. Spend some time discussing a novel engineering design with a current-generation LLM with a self-talk reasoning overlay.

Man I feel old, I remember the days when one wouldn't be caught dead having not anything at all against JS!

I imagine archaeologists of the future scratching their heads saying something like:

"What were those primitives thinking, not yet having anything for JS, the Double Helix Code of Zombotron The Magnificent! Savages! All Hail NPM!"

I "C" what you did there!

Lemon, man! Watch what you twype!

No question, given the choice it will have to be a skilled worker with AI. If the company wants to survive that is. Remember the saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".

Oh, crud!

That's the problem, when a company is betting its existence on a single product offering or customer. When something changes, their existence has to change too.

Diversification is not just for portfolio managers, it also helps companies survive to do business another day..
