If and only if someone is insane enough to develop off-planet manufacturing with the bulk of the raw materials originating from somewhere in deep space, e.g. asteroid mining, putting data centers in space might be useful for problems that demand intensive compute and can work with extreme latency.
Then again that’s like saying inventing the airplane would have been a good strategy for Neanderthals to find better firewood.
The value clearly lies in the gnomes that live in the goose and design and build the eggs. The goose itself is but an empty vessel, a fiction of convenience for the goose’s owner.
downdooting you for dooting dootdoot
curious that O’Leary doesnt want to build that DC in Quebec. I wonder why. You’d think he’d want it close to home, since it’s so good for the economy and all.
Wait til you hear how they handle breaks
Dear lord candlejack has retu
The service I got was slow. I come here all the time, so i should know how things should be around here. My waiter sucks, I demand that he be fired.
[Paraphrased, but this is actual feedback I got the day before mothers day, when our dishwasher was broken. And yes, he stiffed me, because of course]
I’ve also had a father tell his children that “tipping is optional and they should be happy with 5%” after I spent an hour and a half busting ass for his family’s ridiculous requests. After taxes and tip out 5% can literally be less than zero into your waiter’s pocket, fwiw.
Y’all suck. I assume anyone I see bitching about waitstaff getting tips, or implying they dont tip, is an asshole, because IME those are the complaints of an asshole. Tipping culture in general is a whole other topic that there can be reasoned and nuanced discussions about, but if your take is “tipping sucks and I don’t have to,” then you are willingly taking advantage of a system that denies people of the fruits of their labor.
well now I have to add joco back into my regular rotation
I wonder why that might be.
…isn’t UpCloud Finnish?

we’re gonna build our own fabs. how hard could it be? also its gonna take what, 2 years tops. certainly it won’t take decades and cost trillions of dollars to replace Taiwan’s capacity with domestic industry. i mean if that were true then our government would be crazy to be so blasé about our commitments to our strategic partners. boy am i glad we don’t live in that world!
I’ve never bought (and probably will never buy) anything from Temu because they sell a lot of cheap crap, but I’ve gotta say I find their business model fascinating.
not to mention the big bright thing in the ceiling. outside sucks!
my kind of autism
I could honestly see it if it’s like, someone who has known you for 20 years and you make a point of always doing your face to the nines. like maybe it’s genuine concern, changes like that can signal having low energy associated with depression or etc etc etc but then I’m an overthinker and I worry too much.
But it’s like work acquaintances will do it to her when she doesnt do full foundation and this and that and the other thing, which is just so goddamn rude.
I think makeup is cool, the standard of having to wear makeup is bullshit. When my girlfriend doesn’t wear makeup people ask if she’s sick. It seems like a lot of work.
e: this app is weird af though
The Man Who Was Thursday
He’s stupid, but in this instance I think he’s just bullshitting for spacex’s sake. Even he is capable of putting together the fact that the costs required to build (not to mention service) an orbital data center far outweigh the costs of swapping out the genset for the same exact solar panels you would have otherwise put on the rocket. Maybe you need more panels to make up for atmospheric transmission and the day/night cycle but he (or let’s be real, grok) has ready access to the cost of a single starship launch and a calculator.
