Who builds data centers in major metro areas?
Mayor Katie B. Wilson@mayor.seattle.gov · 4mo agoIt is important to know that the City of Seattle has not authorized nor permitted any new data centers. However, the prospect of massive new data centers being built in Seattle has raised understandably intense public alarm. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/04/18/s... 1/3
AI evangelists in the media: LLMs are AGI that will revolutionize our technological landscape with heretofore unimagined genius. AI evangelists at work: LLMs produce a lot of slop, so we should just embrace that in live in slop forever.
google doesn't actually sell your data to third parties (why would they? it's valuable! they're much better off being the broker who lets people target things *based* on that data. there's all sorts of other privacy reasons to be critical of google, but "selling your data" is not one of them)

A personal update! This month marks my 11th anniversary of working on Angular. I've been privileged to collaborate with some incredible engineers and genuinely kind, thoughtful people. I'm proud of the work we've done and the community that has grown around the framework over the years.
I have been sincerely trying to find a shop in the Seattle area that imports a specific Bergamot Olive Oil from Italy for some time now. (it's made by simultaneously cold pressing fresh bergamots and olives, sounds incredible)

If hash maps were invented today, we'd have billions in venture capital pouring into "hash-forward" startups and tech CEOs exclaiming that they're going to revolutionize the way humans interact with technology.
Colin McMillen@mcmillen.dev · 8mo agoIf seat belts were invented today, blue states would require them, but MAGA states would mandate that they *not* be installed, and moving from (say) Massachusetts to New Hampshire would require you to install an expensive conversion kit.
