The real estate is usually purchased only after the following requirements are assured, and there are many: Local and regional power grid robustness which includes: ability to service long-term capacity commitments, whether the developer will need to invest in and build substations themselves, and the legality and availability for on-site power generation (natural gas or electric). All of those requirements generally come after an assessment of local and state government appetite and willingness to cut red tape for such deals and provide favorable environmental policy.
Very handy. We've developed an industrialized variant of this in RelayKit designed for fleets of fielded devices at scale with Anycast, mTLS, multiplexing of services through a single tunnel, Bring Your Own PKI and some other fleet management features that together become a somewhat smarter pipe: https://farlight.io
Ben is eminently and deeply talented, but it's just a different aesthetic that is mostly very literal and conventional. Brian Wilson's songwriting and production technique was a one-of-a-kind imprint.
Datacenters retail space, power, and cooling -- sometimes bandwidth. Data privacy is up to the tenant, but datacenters have a process just like any ISP to facilitate the execution of legal warrants.

Yes, that is one use of the demonym “American” in a modern, geopolitical context. There are other contexts and other uses when it has different meanings.
Asserting it has that meaning when used in context of a time tens of thousands of years ago is nonsensical.
Idk, seems like if you're already established somewhere and someone else comes in and tells you the place you live and your ancestors have lived in for millennia is now called "America"... Dunno, that feels kind of wrong.
But that’s what it’s called in English, the language the article is written in.
Germans don’t call the place they live Germany. They don’t even call themselves Germans. But I call it Germany because that’s the English name for that place.
You have to call it something. Place names are a function of language, not of genetics. In English it's called North America or South America, and together The Americas. In Chinese South America is "South Beautiful Continent".
Oh nooo, I'm so offended that Chinese people have a name that I didn't agree too for the place my ancestors are from for the last 350 years. Someone give me some pearls to clutch.
Their "point" was nothing more than repeating the colonialist propaganda that the real americans were the ones who ""settled"" later and named the continent.
(ALso that is a so ridiculous reasoning, by that logic everyone is native african and not native <insert place where they genetically diverged and settled>)
No that does not follow, but the very first individuals who migrated to America (the humans this discussion is about) obviously were not born in America. By my logic there were no native Americans that came from Asia to America, but their descendants became native.
Yes I know, very pedantic. I don't think there is anything wrong with the title.
I suspect "enlightenment" is that the inverse is also true, but I think that this concept, as most are, is not reversible. In the animal kingdom, invasive species are often a detriment to the local species. In the human world, incoming cultures are often a detriment/disruption to local cultures. This is especially true when the incoming culture has an incompatible value system. For example, see the many examples of Islam and Christianity decimating/erasing local cultures, over the centuries. The value system can be so out of whack that you end up with genocide of the native populations, like in Canada, USA, and Australia. The tricky part is that the very perception of "disruption" depends on if a culture is valued or not, with many modern cultures have little/no accepted value. Related, this is why religious cultures are the most disruptive: religion is culture that's strictly defined in a personal way, with high personal value, so high rigigity. Rigid things don't mesh well.
Are you referring to “Silence Unknown Callers”? Last I had it activated, it didn’t show an unknown call as a notification. It just sent them to voicemail and updated the badge on the phone app.
My view is that you don't get to have the privilege to know that much about me and benefit from my personal profile without a commitment to privacy and a clear data lifecycle guarantee. You have to start with that.
They should just fold. I read in some other forum that they just cobble together crap that they source from numerous and variable providers, so one unit's guts can vary widely from the next.
It's the absurd design defects that I will never excuse. I mean... incompetent MENUS? A modern receiver that doesn't support even HD video?
My burned-out T758 is gathering dust in my office; I'm keeping it in hopes of using the chassis for a project case someday.
I would replace my stupid Pioneer too if anyone made a stand-alone surround processor with preamp outputs. Then I'd get separate amplifiers and that would be that. But nobody makes such a processor, as far as I can tell.
Yes. The entire platform -- hardware & software -- is just a mess. I bought an MDC phono module for my digital amp only to discover it wasn't supported by its firmware. I waited 18 months to be able to actually use it. I experienced the same non-persistent configuration problem you described and also very sketchy things like the power button simply not working. Unacceptable by any measure and at any price point as far as I'm concerned.
