That's easy to say when you aren't the one facing a group with body armor and guns.

Politicians do not train as SWAT teams

You can produce a remarkably good estimate by looking at CPU and GPU utilization out of procfs and profiling a handful of similar machines power use with similar utilization and workloads.

Network is less than 5% of power use for non-GPU loads; probably less for GPU.

Financial incentives to not pollute do shift behavior when they're big enough.

The major issue is that imposing a tax like this has been politically difficult. By describing it as a penalty for damage done, this tries to sidestep some of the opposition

Data center demand has created huge backlog of gas turbine orders. They're not planning on renewables for the next big expansion

They know exactly what the power consumption of that hardware is though. This isnt tough to figure out just because you use a cloud provider

Resigning like this means he can keep his pension instead of refusing and getting fired a few minutes later. Not everyone can afford the latter

I really hope people who died didn't vote for Trump again. 😜

I'm guessing that there are security guards.

They also burn methane gas, not gasoline, which means that sugar probably isn't an effective sabotage technique.

You should spend some time talking to Unitarian Universalists.

Tick tock, tuck your pants into your sock.

My impression is that this comes down to internal politics within the crime family, with there being some disagreement over the relative importance of hate and prosperity.

Or he didn't know how to do it without that. The match-as-best-approach was conventional wisdom for a lot of people for a long time

The notch is the useful part; it lets you lift the tick off your body without squeezing it. Skillful use of good tweezers does the same. (The ones on a Swiss army knife dont really work for this)

Mind you, they're sometimes happy to burrow in even when they have hair around them. It really takes a friend and a comb to be sure.

That's New York Times style. Headline Has Every Major Word Capitalized. Subheading looks normal.

Its definitely not fact. Its a naturally occurring disease which used to have a more geographically limited distribution.

The only pattern that can work is to elect only Democrats in the mid-term so he can be ousted via impeachment

The ones I was with had voted early, and were out canvassing. The kids were under 18.

That said, a lot of people are sufficiently disconnected from the news that they didn't get how much worse Trump would be this time.

He wasn't going to stop with two. Had a list of ~70 people he wanted dead for either being Democrats or providing medical care to women. Thr guy's plan didn't involve getting away; just a lot more dead people.
