Paying your share of taxes isn't robbery, you marginally useful idiot. You probably consider yourself a "self made man", thoroughly ignorant of the infrastructure you used to succeed, assuming you did succeed. The bridges, roads, internet, power grid, water and sewer systems, public schools and universities, hospitals, etc., that you and/or your employees/employers relied on to make your job possible just sprouted from thin air, so you don't have to consider them. Likewise for national security, police, fire, etc. But the damn gubmint keeps "robbing" you for taxes for nothing.

"2) Space compute - the operation of non-Earth based data centeres providing at least 100 terawatts of annual compute capacity "

That can't possibly be right, can it? From https://ourworldindata.org/ene... the Earth uses about 200,000 TWh per year. With 8760 hours per year, that means average power consumed is around 22-23 TW.

40% efficient cells means about 540 W/m^2 (hell, call it 1000) meaning 100 billion m^2 of cells, or a square 316 km on a side, or a bit more than 1 Indiana of solar cells. This makes colonizing Mars look like the safety goal.

is probably whoever responded to the diet coke button in the first term. Or someone with equivalent qualifications.

is to blunt criticism from groups starting to object to paying infrastructure costs for giant AI data centers. Now, instead of saying we have to raise your rates to pay for the GooglePlex we're building on the edge of town, it will that we have to raise rates to pay for all the single family homes going in up at Google Acres.

I heard that they have uncovered one of the world's largest reserves of bullshit buzzwords, so that should add a few hundred billion to the market cap.

The 27.3 day period is sidereal (i.e., relative to the stars). The cycle of phases, or synodic period, is about 29.5 days.

Because if the WH doesn't get to see the new stuff first, they won't know which stock to buy and which to short.

Don't forget billions for wars in the Middle East.

if it's still open in a month or two. I expect inventory to be a bag of potato chips, a harmonica, a gas cap from an Edsel, and 350 toothbrushes.

It's probably the nicest thing anyone has ever called him.

This is definitely designed to help the little guy and will in no way be used by the ultra-rich to continue fucking over the economy and the little guy.

Nobody has stock in USAID. There was never any danger that grifting clown and his crew of sooper genius tech teens was going to touch the military industrial complex. Starving kids don't have anyone rich and powerful in their corner like Lockheed does.

What's the attraction to putting all of this in space vs on the ground? Is it just 24 hr solar? It's gotta be cheaper to just install 100 MW of solar panels and 100 MWh of batteries for a 10 MW data center somewhere in Alaska where you can get free cooling (or probably in Florida where you have to pay for it) than it is to launch all this crap with space-grade hardware and 10 MW of solar panels.

if it can be done on the ground it's about a zillion times cheaper to do it on the ground vs. in space. Providing internet, building data centers, generating solar power. Space is for stuff you can't do on the ground, unless you want to use it to milk $ out of people who are rich and uneducated.

The orange grifter has already transferred too much of that money to his Bored of Peace/Venezuelan oil/Green Card Bribe slush fund. It takes 5 minutes for all of the computer resources of the CBP to process one refund? Bullshit. A single Timex Sinclair running on punch cards would be faster.
