Then regulations should be put in place to ban that practice. There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.
No, because there are already locations in the world where clean grids exist. Focusing on AI use as an environmental problem is not helpful. Focus on the source of the energy, not it's uses.
I don't think any data centers would be using ground water for cooling. They'd likely be on closed loop systems. And the power draw is only an issue if we decide to not fix where the grid gets its power from.
You must be a morning person. I'm perfectly fine with myself/the world after 9 PM. It's pre 8 AM where I hate everyone and everything.
Is that a real graph? And if so, has there ever been any actual explanation on what caused the dip from 1995 - 2005?
Indian Point was water cooled, hence the river water leakage and heating concerns. Water cooled plants don't have those huge stacks you're talking about. Those only exist on air cooled plants.
I think you're really overthinking it. I'd say the vast majority of people paying simply came across something they wanted to see, and paying for it is faster and easier (and safer) than trying to search it out for free.
Assuming my setup is typical, the dryer is on a 240V circuit. The washing machine is on a 15A 120V circuit.
One thing to keep in mind, that when it comes to the internet, the customer-product dynamic is more complex than with physical goods. App users are customers, but also the product.
The relationship between large Chinese companies and the Chinese government is very different than the relationship between "American" (in quotes because a lot of them are incorporated elsewhere for tax purposes) and the American government.
Remote start through an app I guess? At least that conceivably requires an ongoing cost on their side to justify it (although I'd be willing to bet there's a 10,000% markup on it). Will be annoying if they are using a 3G chip for the data connection and 3G gets shut down like 2G did.
As for the AWD thing, it's the coupe part that's hard. The Germans all make a coupe with AWD available, Lexus has the RC, and that's about it (since the challenger is end of production), other than supercars that are out of my price range.
It kind of blows my mind that forced arbitration is legal at all.
