Everytime I read posts like this I am reminded I can get pretty far in life by being pretty retardey
On its surface this looks silly and easy to make fun of but what data center builders are not clocking is:
in the minds of people who live in these places data centers represent massive wealth creation for someone who doesn’t live there. While they don’t get to directly participate. It *feels* like extraction.
These are working class people, some at the margins, so pushing back *feels* like taking power back. These are people who have been promised the run and the moon by new Casino projects, jobs and property values from a new highway overpass projects, all of which did nothing and in some cases harmed their community. They’re jaded and have heard it all
If data centers actually want to get their projects built in communities like this, hate to say it, but they are going to financially incentivize the people there. Do things for them *before* any shovels. Communicate that these benefits will continue as the project succeeds. Give each house hold some financial or quality of life incentive to support it. Not theoretical, tangible and presently available
Just my 2 cents

The city of Vienna projects that it will have 250 MW of data centers in 2030
Right now Loudon County Virginia has 8000 MW of Data center capacity
We are so far behind in this city

Ich stimm dem prinzipiell zu, aber im gegenzug sollten steuern auf arbeit gesenkt werden
Replying to @BgmLudwig
Städte und Gemeinden haben ihre Hausaufgaben erledigt und ihren Beitrag zur Budgetkonsolidierung geleistet. Jetzt braucht es strukturelle Reformen und eine Reform der Grundsteuer. Höhere Hebesätze von 500 auf 750 % könnten jährlich rund 396 Mio. Euro zusätzlich bringen.

The rest of the world needs to coerce or offer money, and the CIA just needs to offer a US visa and already convinces enough people with that
America is the GOAT
That's NOT why. US Intelligence generally avoids coercive methods of recruiting foreigners to spy for us, and has for a long time. They're not needed. CIA's dirty little secret is that the the majority of its valuable assets are walk-ins, what Russians call "volunteers": foreigners who show up at a US diplomatic facility or similar seeking to pass/sell secrets. They come to us.

She is incredibly stupid if she does this
Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa says she will declare a "high-cost emergency" and freeze residential electricity rates within an hour of taking office.
The plan clashes with Texas' competitive energy market, where over 100 retail providers compete for consumers under a deregulation law.
Nick Loris, president of @C3Journal, warns the freeze could leave suppliers unable to adequately provide power.

The answer to “why is my £775k new build flat so small and crappy?” Is simple: the money left to actually build it after the government has took their £442k share is only £178k - less than some spend on their kitchen extension
Toulouse is the Seattle of europe
Solide !
Airbus dévoile son projet d'une usine de 260 000 m2 au nord de Toulouse. Près d'1 Md€ d'investissement. Jusqu'à 3500 emplois sur site à terme.
L'usine produira les mâts réacteurs pour tous les avions fabriqués par Airbus dans le monde.
En taille, sûrement un des plus gros investissements industriels à Toulouse depuis l'usine d'assemblage de l'A380 en 2004.
