It’s something you have to worry about in basically all apartments (in the US–despite thin walls and no insulation, I never had loud and inconsiderate neighbors when I lived in Japan). You might get lucky and get a place with good soundproofing, but the odds are slim.
I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.
It’s pretty obvious from the context.
“Environmentally friendly”? No, they use crazy amounts of power.
“High-paying, long-term” jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn’t offer what people think of as “tech money” and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don’t need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.
Edit:
The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid…
The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.
A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.
Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.
This wouldn’t have even made a difference in the assassination attempt.
I’m not sure that reminding us that Doge died is really helpful or relevant…
Growing up in New Jersey, where we had Wawa everywhere, 7-Eleven was the “dirt convenience store” like how some towns back then had the good mall and the dirt mall. I was shocked when I moved to another state and found out that 7-Eleven was considered the good convenience store.
I spent a bit of time living in Japan, and to this day, years later, I still frequently dream of visiting Japan and one of my top priorities being going to kombini (convenience stores). They’re amazing. I hope 7-Eleven is able to transform the convenience store experience in the US into a kombini experience.
The politicians who are against it are the vast minority, they’re just extremely vocal and irritating.
Look. I eat food, in this case fish, but can we not afford them at least the tiniest bit of dignity?
Somebody’s getting fired and that company is getting sued. I’m very curious how much this outage will have ended up costing the global economy.
They were all in love with dying.
It’s just so much fun to sing, though.

I’ve started buying DVDs and Blu-ray again after years of not doing so because there have been multiple instances of me purchasing a movie on some streaming platform and then it no longer being available. Also, there have been even more instances where it’s less expensive to buy the physical product and then rip it than it is to buy the digital copy.
You’re not wrong; your comment is just irrelevant in this context. It’s not about whataboutism.
Did you read the article? Because that sounds really egregious.
