It is not clear there will be suppliers even if there are buyers. Storing energy by making hydrogen is grossly inefficient. Even pumped hydro is much more efficient. It only seems to make sense if generation greatly exceeds transmission capacity for such a long time that no practical energy storage mechanism can buffer it. There are cases where wind farms are required to shut down but those are due to local weakness of the power grid and I don't think these wind farms have storage anyway.

Apart from offshoring, that is. In principle, they can save time as the company doesn't have to create and staff a team. Less charitably, they can reduce employee churn has the roles the company isn't sure it wants to keep are filled by disposable consultants. But I don't see how adding another company and associated management to the mix can reduce cost unless the people doing the work are just paid less. But the target company can do that too. Disclosure: I worked for Accenture for a while. It seemed pretty clear that our job was to perform the junk tasks that direct employees were not interested in doing.

And thus require better cooling? Granted, there are still structures whose activity will not increase with the 5x greater load per GPU but 5x is big enough that I would expect some marginal or even not so marginal cooling solutions to fail.

I think it more than just the actual result of RTO. RTO shows the management is perfectly willing, eager even, to create a toxic work environment for mere hypothetical benefits. If the bar for company benefit at the expense of employee wellbeing is so low, what ELSE are they willing to do and actively doing?

Because these are investments, not sales. Accounts are being drained and not refilled because the expected sales have not arrived yet. This cannot continue. It feels like late in the DotCom boom and many of remember that time well as well as what happened next.

If you just want the solar power, you don't have to put the data center in space. Orbit just the solar array paired with a microwave power transmitter which will get the power to a rectenna at a data center on Earth. You get the power where it easy to get while keeping the data center where it can be cooled and maintained.

I can enter the address of the complex but that isn't very useful as it is a rather large complex. The app doesn't know what to do with apartment numbers. I had a similar problem at a prior residence in a town home development. The interior streets didn't have names. The street I was on could be thought of an extension of a nearby named road and apps often translated my location to such an address. Unfortunately, routing to such an address would require driving through a wall.

I always have trouble with rideshare pickups from my apartment. I can plant an X where I want to be picked up but then this gets translated to an address on a neighbouring street that is not in my complex. I always have to send a clarifying message to the driver. This is challenging because I can't send it until the driver is assigned, which is when I'm rushing around trying to be ready in time. It would seem that Waymo might skip the step of converting to a human readable address. That might help. But if, it doesn't, texting the robot driving the car doesn't seem to be an option. Has anyone here tried to get a Waymo pickup from a similar tricky location?

It is absolutely vital that collaboration of a quality seemingly not achievable when remote occur in their companies. Of course, this ideal never happened in these companies before COVID, hasn't happened since RTO, and seldom happens anywhere. But it is vital that employee happiness not interfere with this hypothetical possibility.

LinkedIn posters almost entirely fit into two categories:

1. They represent companies so they are fearful of posting anything that would upset their employer.
2. They are job seekers or potential job seekers who don't to risk upsetting their current or potential employer

Given those constraints, one can't say much that is interesting. And, there is still a feeling that one must be seen so write rubbish they think is inoffensive enough to not them in the trouble. Glassdoor keeps posters anonymous. As a result, even though it is still a job board, the posts and comments are a lot more provocative and interesting.

The big selling point (apart from size) for flip phones back in the day was durability. When the phone we folded, the screen was protected. No Gorilla Glass back then so bar phones took a beating.

Because they aren't the same, especially in how they relate to the issue at hand. Phones with folding screens have a problem with dust. Some of which are being called "flip phones" and some that are not. Meanwhile old school flip phones, which are still around, are immune. Saying "flip phones" have a dust problem is at best confusing.

If you are waiting for technology you don't have a design. At best you have a place holding sketch. The design of any device requires that *all* the elements be accounted for. The drive system is going to be highly dependent on details of a fusion reactor that can't be known because no viable candidates exist. We don't even have anything that works but needs a predictable sequence of refinements to be viable. Volume? Mass? Fuel Consumption? These all vary wildly depending on what assumptions actually pan out, if they pan out. By the time they do exist, material and other key technologies are likely to have changed too.

Sure. But these foresale boards had quite limited distribution. If you really wanted to buy or sell locally you needed to go where the masses were. That was not BBS's or Usenet. Craigslist appealed to the masses and came at a time when the masses had access.

AI and similar not-quite-AI automation is pretty good at finding entertaining might be true information but is often a hindrance when exact accurate results are needed. Guess what? Work needs exact accurate results.
