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.

This day on Slashdot: https://politics.slashdot.org/...

Protesting is not the same as attacking the seat of government and a mob forcing congresspeople to lock themselves in a room and then breaking into that room. If she did that at a fucking 7-11, she would have been asking to be ventilated. Not at all the same as the ICE untrained goons gunning down citizens in the street.

But you knew that already. Calling yourself an anonymous coward should be prosecuted as stolen valor in your case.

One on the front and one on the back is "disappointingly few"? Do most people want one on each edge, too?

I'd like for a ghost to visit him and show him the future where he's 70 and driving across a bridge built by an engineer who used AI to get through school. It collapses, and he is rushed to the ER. He looks up into the face of a "Doctor" who also skipped class because his shitty AI would do it for him. They put him in an MRI designed and built by someone similarly "educated" who didn't really understand the strength of steel or the force applied by the magnetic field, and he is subsequently crushed to the size of a peanut before he is transported back to the present to talk to us all about fucking horses.

Curious as to where this "wider conservative community" is found. A solid 1/3 of the country is composed of absolutely batshit insane cult members. You may not want the hypothetical wider conservative community to claim them, but I guarantee they don't consider themselves liberal at all.
When the liberal "extremists" discuss higher income taxes on the super-rich to pay for Medicare for all but the conservative "extremists" want an ethnic cleansing, lumping them together as equally bad is a giant pile of horseshit.
If people in CA or MA are afraid the evil librul state government is going to take their guns or their diesel trucks, they aren't leaving the country. They'll move to a new state. People leaving the country for ideological reasons are doing it because of the descent into fascism.

He's totally not going to fuck over everyone involved so that he can make another ill-gotten buck.

...out of three stocks?

"I will handle an exponentially increasing demand for energy by multiplying supply by 5!

"You don't become a successful business owner this many times over by lying to people." You communicate quite well for what I can only assume is a two year old.

Day 1 implementation. Twitter TOS enforcement: OK, we have a shitposter with the vocabulary of a slow 4th grader. Gotta boot them. Inside the White House: ketchup explosion.

He wants to make it sound like he's going to squeeze the tech firms for money to pay for grid upgrades. Then he'll have a way they can avoid that if they grease his tiny orange palm. Just wait.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
