If an area is zoned for industrial and someone wants to build a datacenter there without variances I don't see why anyone should be able to say no. Same thing for building condos or single-family homes in areas zoned for those. There's almost always variances though which is why there is even an opportunity to say no.
Are the datacenter concerns actually AI fears and they somehow think that stifling datacenter construction will save their jobs from AI? I understand the fear but if there's money to be made, datacenters will get built somewhere, and another municipality will reap the benefits.
I was told to open a GCP support ticket and after many messages back and forth the ticket was closed because the discussion would continue on GitHub only for the issue to be closed a few weeks later.
I'm not the only one experiencing this issue either as a related issue was just posted in the google-cloud-go repo: https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/issues/14538.
I've been working on a solution to automate solar+battery use to arbitrage the market. I'm on a real-time utility plan but even if you're on TOU it can save you $1+ per day by strategically planning when to use the battery and when to conserve or charge the battery. So far it's limited to a few providers and only FranklinWH batteries but I'm eagerly looking for someone to help me get Powerwall support working and other ESS. It's open-source on GitHub as well.
Several years ago Stripe offered more favorable pricing for small transactions but it's my understanding that that pricing is no longer available to new Stripe businesses.
You (and Signal) can't control how the recipient handles your messages if you're not using disappearing. They could be copying and pasting your messages or taking screenshots. I don't see how the backup feature is any different.
