They have unused capacity in their Tennessee datacenter. We don't know everything but the backend of Grok probably runs in the TN datacenter. Grok is not as popular as hoped, so the TN datacenter has unused capacity.

There are other companies besides Google and Anthropic that are considering renting capacity in xaispacex's datacenters.

Global capacity for GPU hosting is tight at the moment. That TN DC is the only one not totally 110 percent already allocated for five years in the world .

My job is mostly worrying about cooling paths, maintenance, power, heat transfer, lifetime of GPUs, and high performance networks. NVIDIA partner. I can drive to the datacenter. This stuff BARELY works here on Earth. Especially thermal issues.

Looking forward to watching spacex defeat physics.

this is not true.

I actually do harbor an immigrant family in my home! But I admit I am an outlier.

I can only speak to 1 scenario but state tax was higher in CA than in TX, but property tax was higher in TX. TX had wild utility bills (top minds in CA are working on this though).

"Lastly, he never "threatened to take it by force"."

You're funny.

I guess its was inevitable that Suicidal Empathy guys would break containment and make Hacker News accounts.

Every conservative I know centers their politics around hating and demonizing immigrants. I blame Youtube and Elon.

what EPA?

This is when people like me comment "According to US media, Iran has been a matter of weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb for over 20 years now".

If you're responding to me, no I'm not.

US intelligence agencies continue to state Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. They just don't.

They definitely have a 'nuclear program'. They have a 'nuclear program' to generate energy. They are a country on this earth and have the right to do this.

Just because we play rhetorical tricks and try to equate "nuclear program" with "nuclear weapons program" does not make it true.

The CIA (lets for now ignore the alleged Director of the CIA) has for years been saying Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. Iran has been saying for years it does not have a nuclear weapons program. Every country has the right to pursue a civilian nuclear energy program.

Trump has been impeached before. Doesn't matter. The seriousness of the word 'impeachment' has been greatly devalued.

No, you are thinking of Shahid Buttar. definitely not an early Stripe employee.

The app is also probably affecting the phone in some way when you're not trying to enter the park.

Whenever I click through the 10 screens I need to get through to pay at Target or the local large grocery store, and I'm not even talking about Self Checkout, I seethe thinking maybe the "YOU WILL EAT THE BUGS" guys have the right idea. There's no way my elderly mother would be able to deal.

Any non-thick headed comms org would have jumped at the chance to convert this into promoting how the team has gone above and beyond to take care of one of their most loyal long term fans and turn this into a feel good story suitable for People and Yahoo Sports.

instead they just cut the guy off.

Iranian drones just hit the 30 billion dollar Aramco facility in Jubail. They are definitely a threat.

It is difficult to extract the real purpose of most things about this war, if you're in the US, since almost every single part of it seems against the US' interests and public face.

You're probably technically correct and that the US didn't intentionally look in Google Maps for an elementary school and decided to destroy it. But did we really need to Double Tap it?

Timothy Snyder has an opinion about this: https://x.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/2040883546093436941?s=20

I'm not quite there yet.

I think Saikat is just willing to spend more of his personal huge fortune on ads than most people usually are.

https://missionlocal.org/2026/04/saikat-chakrabarti-sf-campa...

I also get bombarded by anti-Saikat ads, most from "Abundant Future", which appears to be a PAC funded by Garry Tan and the Ripple guy. the ads loudly proclaim that AOC tweeted once that one of Saikat's tweets is divisive, and that Saikat is a millionaire. This coming from two guys who control a huge pile of money in San Francisco.

When one side complains no fair the other side is cheating, you've probably already lost.

I think the US destroyed a strategically important elementary school on the first day of the war.

definitely not a cultural thing in United States.

is acquitted, and serving a life sentence? what

> They want Iran to stop destabilising the ME, and to eliminate the threat to the USA consisting of the Iranian nuke program, the ballistic missile program, and the religious zeal to use them.

US and Israeli leaders have said recently that the war will continue until Iran is not a threat, for mostly the exact reasons you just listed. I'm not sure how you bomb the religious zeal out of someone.

I was listening to a fairly right wing British pundit today, who is very publicly funded by British and European NATO interests, he said that the US saying they will continue to bomb Iran until it is not a threat reminded him a lot of one of Russia's state Ukraine war goals of "we will de-Nazify Ukraine".

very open ended nebulous goals with the benefit of being easily stretched around any agenda the invading party has at the moment.

There are plenty of schools on US bases in and outside of America. I live by one right now.

I was curious if America's largest base, Fort Bragg, has any elementary schools in it. I found at least 1.

"Harris to Jewish voters: ‘All options on the table’ to stop Iran from going nuclear In pre-election High Holidays call, US vice president says diplomatic solution still preferable to keep Islamic Republic from the bomb, charges Trump won’t stand by Israel"

The US has spent a lot of time and money on MEK but I don't think they are very effective. Or will be very effective. My understanding is the leader of MEK has n't been seen in years(is probably dead), and MEK members are only allowed to marry other MEK members, so the number of MEK members is way down from their 80s highpoint, and it's not getting better.

That is not clear at all!

The Lebanese Muslims at the time were furious that the Sixth Fleet was constantly shelling Shouf. At the time the Phalangists, with Israeli help, had recently murdered 3500 women and children at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.

There were and are plenty of grievances to go around in Lebanon.
