It’s pretty obvious from the context.
“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.
“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.
Edit:
The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…
The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.
A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.
Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.
This wouldn’t have even made a difference in the assassination attempt.
The politicians who are against it are the vast minority, they’re just extremely vocal and irritating.
Somebody’s getting fired and that company is getting sued. I’m very curious how much this outage will have ended up costing the global economy.
I’ve started buying DVDs and Blu-ray again after years of not doing so because there have been multiple instances of me purchasing a movie on some streaming platform and then it no longer being available. Also, there have been even more instances where it’s less expensive to buy the physical product and then rip it than it is to buy the digital copy.
I’ve started building mine up again, too, because too often a movie I want to watch isn’t available to stream and purchasing a physical copy costs less than a digital copy.
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius because it’s more specific and I will die on this hill. 71F feels different than 72F and yet they’re both 22C (for example).
Metric is better than imperial, though. Obviously.
I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.
