Personally, I think Mamdani's success comes from absolute mastery of one simple skill : the ability to answer a direct question. That's why he understood the issues to begin with, that's why he's able to communicate about them effectively, and that's why he's able to stay focused.

I've got a spot cleared out on my network shelf for mine!

Whelp, I guess nobody is going to be using that bay for RNA preps anytime soon.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring
Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

This is not how preventative interventions work.

No individual knows that their death was prevented by vaccine. Many people get COVID and dp not die. Was this due to vaccine?

Modeling and statistical estimates are the ways to estimate the impacts.

His desire for "real data" is real bullshit.

"Let the Chinese build their own jets. Why should be let them buy ours?"

"Let the Chinese watch their own movies. Why should we sell them tickets to ours?"

"Let the Chinese grown their own soybeans. Why should we let buy ours?"

This is a man who doesn't even understand commerce.

Also interesting how much more positive Democrats are about... places in America. Even down there at the very bottom of their list, Democrats are mostly just kind of, "Meh."

Most Jews of my great grandfather's day though that Theodor Herzl was a self aggrandizing putz and that Zionism was crazy. They chose the United States over Isreal by more than 10 to 1.

Mamdani makes a better friend to Jews that you do. I'd rather be lovingly criticized than used.

It is for exactly this reason that I never want to go back to London.
