This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
A lot of discussion right now about How To Fix All This and one of my ideas is the Toddler New Deal. Policies based on stuff like "Clean up after yourself" and "You have to share with the other kids"
Yeah, I think if there isn't a massive boycott of the world cup after this very unveiled threat to one of the participating teams then I honestly hope it rains every single day of the tournament in every stadium there's a game.
"Is this A.I.?"
Absolutely love the energy, don't give the plagiarism machines an inch.
But...sir...you're commenting on a reel of a man riding a bike that looks like it's made entirely of cats, are you really not sure if it's real or not?
hey what if we made the entire government and the entire economy out of corruption

Yesterday, a 110MW off-grid AI data center outside of Dublin was switched on - and it's powered entirely by fossil fuels. Developers went with natural gas engines (specifically RICE) to bypass the grid connection queue. They claim the engines "could" be switched to HVO, and that the project will attempt to connect to the grid "when possible". What does this mean for Ireland's climate goals? According to my estimates, this single project will increase the entire country's annual GHG emissions by ~1%. Assumptions: - The project seems to be using Rolls Royce (mtu) 4000 Series RICE which have an electrical efficiency of 44% https://lnkd.in/eRX4PRuf - Modifying the NREL life cycle gas emissions factor with this efficiency yields 656.75 gCO2e/kWh https://lnkd.in/gfgs2X6P - Assuming a 90% capacity factor because AI hyperscale data centers run near 24/7 to recoup massive GPU costs - Ireland’s 2024 GHG emissions = 53.8 million tCO2e https://lnkd.in/ejjRgRpE hashtag#DataCenters hashtag#Sustainability hashtag#ArtificialIntelligence

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1%
Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠

there is a child-like naivety to the way business leaders approach sociopolitical problems that would be really sweet if it wasn't coming from the leader of a company with 30,000 employees and 3 billion dollars in revenue
Photo shows young white woman in a white tan top with from the river to the sea in black all caps text. She’s flanked by security or police Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.
I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.

Post from Lauren @NotABigJerk I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion.

Worth forever reiterating that most of the "long" novels of the 19th century were not received as long at the time, but generally as subdivided shorter works, sometimes something we would consider more like a comic book than a terrifying doorstop.

St Patrick's Day is Ireland's national day. 9 .. It marks the feast of our patron saint and celebrates Irish history, Irish music and Irish culture. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us. Ireland has always been welcoming. But the day should remain about Ireland. Turning St Patrick's Day into a global "celebrate every culture" festival misses the point. Every nation deserves one day each year that honours its own heritage. Ireland deserves the same.
Over on X, the everything app, after getting bored harassing a fun run, and Dublin Zoo, they've now turned their attention to a regional St Patrick's Day parade for being "inclusive".
Volunteers and organisers are being targeted for harassment, and already a sitting TD has joined in on the pile on.
Kneecap and Bob Vylan suffered more consequences than Israel has for an actual genocide.

Endless appetite for cruelty
The Irish govt have fallen for this trap. The Minister for Justice just said it’s not his job to be sensitive. To be clear, it very much *is* his job to be sensitive.
As a professional of 30+ years who, for example, once had to run with the right paper & pen in hand to manually cut-and-paste a correction of one misspelling on a hand-drawn broadsheet page of cartoon strips, 5 minutes before it was shot for print & that was probably read by 3 people, I ask again…
A place under the end of a very prominent pedestrian overpass that used to be safe, accessible and open but is now expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.
Looking down Third Ave in Kamloops at the Lorne St intersection, with pedestrian overpass on the right. A place under the end of the overpass is expensively caged so homeless people won’t sleep there.
Anti homeless architecture is policy in action, the expression of a city’s position. Kamloops says a lot of words about helping vulnerable people but:
most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...
