True. Data Centres don’t need a lot of staff, but they still pay taxes which helps pay for infrastructure.

The AI data center industry contributed 4.7 million jobs to the U.S. economy in 2023 and is on track to reach 650,000 permanent data center positions by 2026, with 340,000 roles currently unfilled due to a massive skills shortage.

Data center engineers earn between $84,000 and $196,000, with senior roles reaching $240,000 or more, and power electronics specialists commanding $150,000 to $250,000 as companies compete for scarce talent.

Where I live, electricity companies are state owned, I’m guessing it’s not like that where you are. However, the taxes the company pays helps the area.

That’s on government. Set up laws so there must be a net benefit.

State laws. Talk to your representative.

Settle down Charlotte. The jobs to actually build the data center. It doesn’t build itself.

Why do you have to talk like that? Why not address the position instead? Do you think being profane makes you look more intelligent?

I think maybe you aren’t debating in good faith, you just want to shake your fist at the clouds. Which is an option, go for it.

As long as they are providing a net benefit to the area, why be against them? Even building them would create hundreds if not thousands of jobs.

I don’t think we are going to stop AI. Better to put guardrails in place regarding energy and resource use and ensure the revenue generated results in a net gain for the area. If it doesn’t, then look for another area.

Tear down the house.

I don’t understand why they just don’t charge AI data centers higher costs for electricity, so they are a net benefit to the area.

This is just madness. What the hell is Newsom thinking/drinking?

Very frustrating for sure. Like any tool, it’s up to humans to know when the tool is useful.

AI is here, another tool to use…the correct way. Very reasonable approach from Torvalds.

You can’t even blame your human accountant.

A quick google search will give you the history.

It is considered international for transit passage.

Not so dumb actually. You take whatever course you want for free, get to listen to very smart people that know the topic, and probably learn something. What’s the downside?

You’re probably better off auditing a University course then, instead of exchanging ideas on Lemmy.

We call them Christmas and Easter, but they’re really just secular holidays for the family to get together. No religious aspect whatsoever, but great getting together.

This is a small one. I’d like to see a full screen edit window like Reddit has.

XX chromosomes are the base requirement. Olympics also tests for elevated testoserone.

“Testosterone is measured for female athletes in the Olympics. The regulations set a limit of 5 nmol/L testosterone for athletes competing in certain events, specifically for distances between 400 meters and 1 mile. Athletes with conditions that cause high testosterone levels may need to suppress their testosterone levels to compete in these events. Additionally, the World Athletics Council has recently reduced the limit to 2.5 nmol/L for athletes with differences in sexual development”

So both conditions, plus others I’d imagine, have to be met.
