You can be anti billionaire and still not be a fuckass racist

> You can be anti billionaire and still not be a fuckass racist

Genuinely, if you can't handle discussing a basic political disagreement without becoming apoplectic, you should take a breath and wait to respond. This is the opposite of what HN is for.


You've been downvoted for being reasonable (I gave you an upvote). The histrionics in these threads are way over the top, and it's sad to see.

I apologize for not wording things as pleasantly as the guy who wants people thrown in camps.

Immigrant isn't a race.

Mass deportations are being conducted mostly on the basis of race. The accusation of blatant racism, come from police chiefs, from judges, as well as everybody experiencing the mass deportation. And the accusation of racism isn't that immigrants are a race, but the exact racial discrimination in who gets kidnapped and disappeared by masked men that are indistinguishable from criminals.

>Mass deportations are being conducted mostly on the basis of race.

Care to share your stats?

This sounds like more of "I don't like this president, therefore what he's doing is wrong"


I have what I stated in my comment. You are free to dismiss the experiences of whoever you want, of course, including Trump-friendly police chiefs, by dismissing them as "they must not like Trump and therefore lie." But that is quite a biased way to experience the world. Especially when Trump's own words about which immigrants he wants to get rid of. It's bias in service of a "fairness" that even the benefactor doesn't ask for. So why we exhibit such extreme bias in which evidence is admissable?

So nothing. Just anecdotes. At least you admit it.

Admit what? Trump is open about the racial nature of deportations, and witnesses say the same.

If you want to bring stats into it, the baseline is to try to disprove what everyone already knows.

Assuming something is false just because it makes Trump look bad, in your eyes, is a very biased take on the world. Just listen to his own words, he's not ashamed of the racial nature of the deportations, it doesn't "make him look bad" because its a feature not a bug.



It’s new capacity!

They’re not even saying they shouldn’t do it or that they’re not useful or not worth it but you Cannot logically say both “these things do not use a lot of power” and “we need to build more power plants to handle these things”


It isn't all new capacity. The popular discourse hardly ever mentions it but AI is a small fraction of why we need new datacenters and the bulk of the demand is driven by general IT needs, particularly consolidation of small, grossly wasteful corporate data racks into vastly more efficient cloud services.

Edited to answer: The question has also been addressed by the same author as the article: USA spent a quarter century not building generators and that negligence has finally caught up to us, despite objectively heroic efficiency efforts on the part of the IT sector.

If so, why do they need to build new power plants for it?

I am a cloud capacity planner and you're just another dog on the internet, "but do go off" as they say online.


Yeah you can, though to be fair its referred to as jevons paradox because it is counterintuitive.


I’m not saying it’s inefficient. I’m saying cloud computing uses a lot of power.


How am I as an individual supposed to get externalities priced in?

And given that right now they are clearly not, what’s your plan until then?


Which specific externalities are you concerned about? Do they affect you directly?


Climate change and pollution, and yes they do.


To nobody in particular: I loved this article, and all the little jokes and asides.


If you trust the AI disclosure at the top, this was all human made except for one heading


Not if the democrats can help it


Doesn’t text chat still have a weird thing where you can’t see the texts unless you’re in a voice call in that channel?


No


I mean, discord is a tool of US surveillance and I’m a Lot more worried about that government doing something to me given Russia is ten thousand miles away


Game engines, UI frameworks, desktop environments, and web browsers all share a lot of features. The Arcan project is my favorite piece of software running with this idea rn


Yeah :c I feel the same way. They’ve made a variant with more traditional poker deck look but the same rank/suits of the ever deck that I’m excited to try one day
