explodes

First time I've heard about this. I'll have to look into the security model around it. I'm curious what safeguards are in place to prevent click jacking. I know showing a file picker """should""" be enough of a warning to users to be careful, but it's not hard to imagine a world where a couple of fish accidentally bite the bait of an allow-button, or because they followed instructions they incorrectly trusted.

Thanks for the clarification, LLM!!

I read this 3 times to try to figure out why you were living in the library for 10 years. It sparked Roofman vibes.

The license change is more than just concerning. This isn't the first time it happens, and won't be the last, without legal action.

Ah what a great little tutorial. Thanks for sharing that one.

It looks like rust async creates state machines similar to how Kotlin does it with so-called Continuations.

> I want to say upfront - we've never pursued these invoices

So those people who would feel guilty not paying are punished and those who prefer to try to cheat the system by skipping payment on invoices are systematically rewarded?

Wow, some of these (probably all) are ridiculous. And trying them on different compilers just adds to the fun.

Love the tonuge in cheek writing here.

This is pretty much exactly my gripes, too. Data centers are necessary, but why are we doing this all the wrong way?

The new Utah data center is building new gas pipelines to generate 9GW instead of requiring ANY percentage of green energy, while also giving massive tax breaks that the families living nearby and statewide will have to cover.

You don't subscribe to twenty five news outlets, what are you, a freeloader? /s

Beautiful. Twenty seconds per token is funny, but the only direction is up from here!

The title may be misleading. They are pausing giving out new tax breaks, not suspending previously granted breaks.

How is this a dupe? It's new information, and my take is that it's one of the least biased articles about the topic.

This echoes some of my biggest gripes about data centers:

We should be mandating green power, to a great extent, be built to support these facilities.

We (US states) should not be competing, in a race to the bottom, to be the state to give the biggest tax breaks and pass the cost to the citizens.

We should not be ignoring the citizens who will have their health and livelihoods affected.

AI data centers, for better or worse, are very necessary for many reasons. They could be built responsibly, or at least less hazardously, but the care isn't being put into that aspect of their construction.

They are going to power this exclusively with natural gas.

It would be nice if they were required to build the clean energy but they are not.

They have a right to be concerned about increasing power bills

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-ai-data-centers-elec...

They have a right, if not an obligation, to be concerned about water consumption and pollution, especially in an already drought stricken area, near a drying, poisonous lake.

They have a pretty good reason to be upset about adding an extreme amount of heat and CO2 in an area where the tourism for skiing and snowboarding plays a huge role in tourism for the nearby counties, despite lowest snowpacks on record year over year.

Also as a citizen, I would be furious is my elected officials ignored the locals in favor of 2 other officials' pressure and opinions.

Virtual machines don't prevent data exfiltration. Auditing code before using it does. I'm with GP. I was going to use this for personal use until I noticed this problem.

Valid. I certainly do not know myself. We will have to wait for the environmental impact study, or just wait for the real-world effects.

The critical difference is that this will be 100% powered by natural gas, not a dam and hydraulics system. Natural gas releases CO2 and nitrogen oxides which will exacerbate the Salt Lake valley's smog problems.

Powered 100% by natural gas, which, as a reminder, releases carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

> On Wednesday, Morris said that “one hundred percent of the power will be generated off the Ruby Pipeline,” while explaining the project to the county commissioners

How can burning that much natural gas to power it be worth the downstream health problems? The emissions from this sole power source at this scale is irresponsible. The idea is worse when you consider:

- Salt Lake City air already contains enough pollutants from the nearby oil refineries, mining, and cars

- Utah is building out a massive inland port nearby

- The Great Salt Lake is drying up, and expected to put toxic dust in the air, unless massive restoration efforts are undertaken

- Due to its shape, the Salt Lake Valley is a pit for poisonous air, exacerbated by "the inversion" weather patterns

Burning enough natural gas to outclass the entire state's power production is absolutely insane. They should be required, at a minimum, to utilize some amount of green energy for this monstrosity.

Several Garmin watches last for weeks (24 days full charge, actual 1-2 weeks with heavy gps and fitness tracking), and I struggle to understand why consumers accept anything less. It seems like consumers don't realize what's available.

Seems like spam reposting this again so soon.

It's always the right word!

Exactly. But shouting about raw data isn't helping anything either.

Given the international presence of WhatsApp, I was almost willing to bet that this would be a big deal, however the features to this plan are really lame. Exclusive stickers and changing app theme for a monthly fee is not what I expected.

I expected a mid-range plan that increases the communication features and maybe also some of these "fun" features. I was certain it would have enabled partnerships with mobile network operators to include add-ons to plans that include WhatsApp premium. This is still possible, but "free WhatsApp stickers" when you pay more per month isn't the power move I was expecting from such a global force.

That said, the low cost of premium is critical because so many people world-wide use WhatsApp because a data-only plan is cheaper than data and cell service. The low price point is amazing.

In hindsight I guess I don't know why I expected more amazing features, but this doesn't seem like the game changer I was expecting and hoping for.

"Two Magicians" - can't believe they didn't put "Penn and Teller" in the headline. They're amazing...

The title is a bit misleading. The user clicked a delete button thinking they were deleting Microsoft Teams stuff, but deleted their Team on DO.
