  • Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal

  • That article doesn't say what you imply it does. Companies may be using ChatGPT to grow, but that doesn't mean they are training AIs.

    And the distinction is critical to energy usage. Training a new AI uses a lot of energy. Querying an existing AI uses far less.

  • I'm not sure that's true. Every company uses storage, and every growing company needs more. But very few companies are training generative AIs.

  • Datacenter != AI

    If you are using the internet for anything with cloud storage, you are contributing to datacenter growth. And that includes nearly everyone using social media.

  • US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport

    Jump

  • Yes, that's my point. The OP is out of date, neither the title nor the first paragraph match the current version of the article.

  • This is out of date, he took another flight and already landed in Spain.

  • Trump advocates that companies stop reporting earnings on a quarterly basis

  • global investors will start to shun the US

    Where would investors go instead? The UK, EU, and Japan already eliminated quarterly disclosure requirements.

  • I mean, plenty of us were hoping the shooter wasn't antifa, and that's not so different.

  • New 'Thought Policing' Bill May Let Rubio Strip Passports from US Citizens Over Political Speech

    Jump

  • I don't know, because filibusters are also an implicit threat. Plenty of bills from both parties never even come to vote because both sides know they will be filibustered.

    When the majority allows a successful filibuster vote like those above, it's because the majority wanted to put the minority "on the record", for example as pro-trans.

  • To repeat:

    This year Democrats filibustered an anti-trans bill, an anti-choice bill, and countless parts of the OBBB

  • Many parts of the OBBB were deemed subject to filibuster, and therefore didn't pass.

    If it weren't for Democratic filibuster, all of these parts of the OBBB would have passed.

    • Ban the use of Medicaid funds for gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors and adults
    • Restrict coverage of abortions in many Obamacare plans
    • Tax credit for contributions made to organizations that provide money for children to attend private schools
    • Limit on income-driven student loan repayment options.
    • Prohibit loan payments made while students are in medical or dental internships or residencies from counting toward forgiveness
    • Authority for state and local officials to arrest noncitizens suspected of being unlawfully present in the U.S.
    • Limit on preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders by requiring litigants to post potentially large bonds.
    • Repeal of an E.P.A. regulation limiting vehicle emissions
    • Automatic compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act for oil and gas lease sales
    • Elimination of the Office of Financial Research funding
    • Elimination of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
    • Requirement that electric vehicles used by the Postal Service are sold

    And that's only a partial list of what Democrats successfully filibustered.

  • This year Democrats filibustered an anti-trans bill, an anti-choice bill, and countless parts of the OBBB. You know this but prefer to complain about the only people who have done anything to stop MAGA.

    When - not if - this bill dies, you can thank Democrats.

    Jump

  • This bill, like many equally bad bills, will be inevitabily be killed by a Democratic filibuster.

    Remember that if you are among those who think the filibuster should be abolished.

  • Mamdani, if Elected Mayor, Pledges to Order N.Y.P.D. to Arrest Netanyahu

  • No, it doesn't. Countries have no legal obligation to stop something happening outside their borders.

  • The Geneva convention does not authorize arrests of individuals. That's what the ICC is for, but the US does not recognize the ICC.

  • If you prefer active voice then "He died" is optimal.

  • Actually "He died" uses the active voice, whereas "He was murdered" uses the passive voice.
