He practically built one with those batteries. The real trick is getting them to fire more than a few times.

Two words... rail gun.

Heck... As if transformer prices weren't high enough already. And those prices end up being born by the ratepayers, whose rates are already up. This ain't going to help.

It's wild how utterly loathesome the tech industries has gotten in a short period. Purportedly smart folks being the absolute dumbest dipshits possible.

The man speaks truths. A true prophet.

If they had asked AI they might actually realize what twats they sound like (even though the bot is clearly wrong about rhetorical cleverness)

I'd grab a couple for my office, but getting up out them things looks dicey...

The power consumption of the GW scale data centers is insane. It's the equivalent of a medium-sized city. Just from a power engineering perspective, it's all pretty nuts. And then there's the bigger question of who pays for the necessary infrastructure, and it isn't straightforward to allocate.

That's a hell of a lean.

Your lips to god's ears

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats animals.

My people!

It would be naive to think the people of Iran would get a say. I just hope it isn't Venezuela redux. The people of Iran have been through enough.

Err... Used leather pants? Call me old fashioned, but some things shouldn't be shared.

My daughter is graduating soon and getting recs from her profs. I'd be pretty damn angry if one referred to her like that. There is no planet on which that is an appropriate thing. Of course, everybody knows that. Shitbrick doesn't know enough to be ashamed.

Bunch of heathens on this site.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

"233k - 310k base salary + bonus target" I mean...

He bought the WP for $250mil. Flushing it down the toilet is a rounding error. It's like most of us spending $1,000.
