One interesting about AES is that his data center development proposal is far closer to Rob Sand’s than it is to, say, Francesca Hong’s: heatmap.news/daily/how-di...

Sister Act

Would love to see the cross-country results for polling this question (in equivalent local currency), I think it’d be fascinating almost regardless of the results

This is a New York-specific post but the ACE trains seem like they regularly melt down in the middle of the day. Now regularly takes me 30+ min or longer to get from 34th to 42nd in the late mornings/early afternoons. (It has taken 40 minutes so far today.)

Surprising lack of chatter on Bluesky about the recent dividing line among Millennials of Ivy Plus experience: who in the group chats got paid by the class action lawsuit and who didn’t

pretty wrong. if you’re in a major american city then the odds are not *terrible* you’re within five miles of a cloud-serving data center right now. and famously there are a lot of cloud data centers with backup diesel generation in silicon valley itself

The new tariffs on Canada hit cement, plywood, and some electronic equipment — a surprising move when data center input costs are already risking higher U.S. inflation. heatmap.news/daily/trump-...

Trump Found a New Way to Punish CanadaCement, plywood, and some electronic equipment will face 50% levies. But the real cost is much higher.heatmap.news

Did not know Ed Miliband’s dad was a Marxist sociologist. Future historians will note the striking number of Anglophone politicians from this era with Marxian academic fathers — Buttigieg, Mamdani, Kamala Harris — and call it “bizarre,” “a strange coincidence,” and “a truly incoherent cohort”

The new 50% Canadian tariff appears to cover whey protein concentrates. Mr. Trump why do you hate hypertrophy

The New York Giants and New York Jets already play there. It’ll be more accurate this way!

FIFA, with its peculiar genius, solved an enormous problem for the NYC metro area with this World Cup and our leaders should now move to make it permanent. It is time to formally change East Rutherford’s name to “New York”

But what, I wondered, did other oyster farmers think of Platner? My reporting odyssey to find out took me across the state and into many of their homes, farms, restaurants, bars, eateries, pubs, roadside shacks, dives, clambakes, brunch spots, shuck stations, taverns, food truck festivals, inns,

Had not realized it at the time. But ‘emergency party convention, near midcoast Maine, during the last week of July, possibly to determine Senate control’ might be the best political press junket in American history.

why is the mayor kitted up like phil collins' keyboardist in 1987

In recent years, only one US electricity market has consistently added new generation while keeping costs low. It’s also added more new power plants (and solar!) than anyone else. A new bill from @heinrich.senate.gov would require other grids to adopt its approach: heatmap.news/daily/heinri...

Scoop: A Key Democrat Wants to Break America’s Worst Energy BottleneckSenator Martin Heinrich’s bill, which makes it easier to connect new power plants to the grid, is an encouraging sign for bipartisan permitting reform.heatmap.news

One of the big problems right now is that a large majority of the public has basically sensible policy preferences and consumes/pays for zero political media, and a tiny minority of the public has basically insane preferences and consumes 98% of political media.
