    Peter Thiel is leading investment in an ocean data center powered by waves—and the startup is reportedly worth $1 billion

    Jump

  • The year is 2050, massive petawatt scale ocean based data centres are warming the ocean in their immediate vicinity, opening up new breeding grounds for a new killer algae. The algae once unable to grow in regular ocean tempatures thrives in this new ecosystem, and once it matures is able to leave the warmer waters and destroys other marine life it comes into contact with.

    This destruction of life in the ocean reverberates around the world as food supply dwindles and hundreds of millions of people begin to starve.

    Meta's $10 billion Louisiana data center is getting $3.3 billion in tax breaks—more than seven years of the state's entire police budget

  • I'm sure there are people rich enough to do this too

    I wont build my multi million dollar mansion here thats going to staff 8 full time people unless you waive my property taxes for 2 decades.

    Jesus. It probably does happen. 😭

  • The citizens often dont eat anything, as its usually just delayed property taxes or other similar things. Im sure thats not always the case though and maybe they are sometimes given money.

    The state then gets all the income taxes and jobs from building it.

    But ya, without legislating things like this away it wont stop.

    Edit: oh I misread part of what you said, you meant the supporting infrastructure like if the state paid for a new substation. Im sure that does happen, that would negate the income taxes for awhile. They should make the businesses pay for that, and let them recoup that through the tax benefits. Don't take money from the tax payers to help them out.

  • Because unless every single state does it, they'll go to the one that doesn't.

    The states are still going to make a lot of money off this, its just delayed by 7 years by their duration.

    Would you rather get money in 7 years when they expire and increased income taxes from building it/staffing it or nothing?

    This is for anything, not just data centers. States will always fight to get the investment.

  • I think I read at one point also lowering the pressure in the tire helps as well, but not sure how low you could safely go. You want more surface area on sand.

    Edit: someone lower in the comments says 15psi

  • Wtf would you even want to make something that big.

    Thats a huge geographic vulnerability. You could still make huge ones but spread it out.

    Lithium deposit valued at over $1.5 trillion discovered in the U.S.

    Jump

  • I know. To have 90% of new vehicles use recycled lithium requires 10s of millions of cars being old enough to be recycled to cover the 10s of millions of new cars being built that year.

    Also many EV batteries will go to a 2nd life like stationary storage for longer before finally being recycled.

    Its decades away.

  • Assuming we keep using lithium for cars batteries, the day 90%+ of all new car batteries are recycled lithium will be a pretty cool moment. Decades away though.

  • Should start a betting pool, we're the people who asked for this case to happen themselves corrupt.

    Edit: even more hilarious if the news picked up on it

  • or they are trying to reveal a lot of dirt on their colleagues. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

    That would be kinda brilliant, but id be shocked if they were trying to pull that off.

  • Im sure that all happens, but this part is securities fraud

    announce this is due to AI efficiencies and not poor revenue growth and get a bump to the shares

    Also if that RTO reasoning was ever found out in discovery, thats constructive dismissal.

    Reforming the news and not allowing these mega corps to own almost all the stations would also be a big big help.
