defcon 3 over Medvedev trolling would make top unhinged event so far.
Firing BLS head over jobs report he doesn't like is even more Hitler loyalty level demands, and I think tops unhinged level over provoking pre-emptive nuclear strikes.
Likely progression is simply that food gets expensive, and is grown indoors. Technology doesn't need to fall, though when slaves are not needed, soylent green is a "utilitarian" use for them under rules based world order. Food capacity and population that can afford to buy it will match. Fewer people does mean fewer iphones, and more expensive at lower scale.
Global warming, even at 5C, is more about increased misery and oppression, rather than mass deaths over a decade. Wikipedia will survive. The AI tech giants chatbots will explain why you need to die or be miserable until you die.
Life lesson = thieves will deflect criticism of the corporatist oligarchy supremacists by calling their theft socialism. Gimme your sandwich, commie.
It's a bit Data Center specific. Many are getting built. Business, and especially manufacturing, has always had big rate subsidies at expense of consumers. DCs don't create many permanent jobs per MWh consumed though.
It is easy to conclude that costs to society from increased electric rates, outweigh the benefits of tax revenue and jobs, utility profits, and big tech profits. Ultimate argument is going to be, if you are not extorted by electricity scarcity, and big tech data collection, then China will win at AI, so FU commie.
The state exports almost three-fifths of the electricity it produces, according to the EIA.
this means to use internal "surplus" electricity in the state, 750mw data center would be supported. The initial build is 1.8gw. Need to increase electricity production in the state by over 150%. Surrounding states that depend on Wyoming imports get screwed if WY production not increased more.
seems like they already penalize EVs more. 500 gallons per year is an extra $30. $230 total. EV increases are $72 + a future mileage charge. There's already $196/year extra EV charge. Close to existing gas tax on 500 gallons ($200).
It is Ukraine Government's official tourist ministry web site. Plenty of western media coverage of Zelensky order. Like this propaganda web site, "don't worry, the front lines don't want your old ass" is meant to deceive the slaves who report for conscription.
He's also being aggressive against countries who would like to tax the extortionist profits made by those companies from their people. "AI Action Plan" is focused on keeping world extorted by US tech giants without any foreign taxes on that extortion.
World seems to be sucking up to it. Democrats will not revoke new slavery status of colonies.
Not all "water use" is the same. Agriculture returns it to environment through drainage into acquifiers and rain cycle, though the rain can fall outside of community. Showers go through sewage system, and treatment recycles it. Fracking destroys water by polluting and sequestering it. Data centers cooling requirements do not need any treatment before returning water back to community's clean water supply, afaiu, though certainly if treatment were needed, the data center should implement it.
We can/should be angry about datacenter electricity use if that makes electricity more scarce for the rest of us, and uses climate terrorist energy to do so. But water use should not be a problem. There would be a shower advisory anyway, without datacenter, afaik.
Article suggests that "evaporative cooling" means an open cooling cycle that releases steam. AFAIU, computer/data center cooling uses closed loops.
in practice…houses already have a “regular” water connection running to them. in order for this to be practical, you’re talking about having to run plumbing for a 2nd hot water connection. to every house.
many places, get their heating from such a 2nd pipe carrying NG to their house. While water needs a bigger pipe, it is low pressure, and can be thinner using less metal (or plastic) overall.
And fusion doesn't work yet. May be 20+ years away for 20+ more years.

I don't oppose this reasearch. Cloud seeding, or unexplained cloud brightening, is the safest of all geoengineering methods. and there is a theory that less sulfur in shipping fuel and diesel is causing fewer clouds. A world with 1%-5% more clouds will be cooler.
Seeding clouds in middle of ocean is a more prudent location than dealing with complaints. This should be more about testing machine capacity, cloud longevity, and functionality in open ocean waves rather than affect coastal communities for now.
