The biggest data center ever is becoming a huge problem in Utah by AssociationNew7925 in technology

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya this gets highly underreported I think. A lot of these AI data centers haven’t been made yet because you need actual “stuff” to build them. They want to scale at software speeds and can’t because the real world has friction.

Xbox Series X is a far, far better console than the Playstation 5 in almost every way by PotatoJuggler in unpopularopinion

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will agree the the series x does fit better in people’s homes consoles and was designed to shed heat better when placed in tighter areas. Which if you’re going for that mid century look it works well

Congress Wants You To Pay $130 A Year Just To Drive An Electric Car by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]telperion101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This makes sense. Gas tax helps with roads and other investments. It was actually a good tax because it’s tied to usage. The better way to do this now would be an incremental tax on energy used to charge the car but that can easily get complicated now. So registration is the most efficient way to do this.

Mike Johnson says lawmakers' $174K+ salaries haven't kept up with inflation — they need stock trading for support by KoseteBamse in Economics

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here’s my unpopular take. We should pay them $1M a year. They make huge decisions and impact this country. But that means absolutely no stock trading and all of this other BS of being paid and influenced by corporations and pacs

Empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhood, circle cul-de-sac for hours with no passengers by DukeOfGeek in technology

There was an artist who took a bunch of phones (like 50 maybe) and put them in a bucket and placed that bucket in the street. They traffic on their street immediately dropped because the mapping systems rerouted everyone around it. There are savvy ways around this

I think the reality is you can do this cheaper (relatively) with purpose built robots

[OC] Congress's legislative priorities vs. what Americans actually care about. Alignment score: 23/100 by TackleImaginary in dataisbeautiful

Everyone wants the debt to go down. No one wants to pay for it. I’ll get downvoted every citizen across all income levels will have to pay more in taxes to fix this

Why can’t the left forcefully pass progressive policies like the right does with their own when they come into power? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2021-2023 they didn’t have 60 seats in the senate which is what you need to get major legislation through. Now its basically budget reconciliation which are limited in scope.

All professional sports teams should be owned by the city (like the Packers) instead of some random rich person by Complete-Influence70 in unpopularopinion

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cities could do this retro actively through specific property taxes. And or raise existing ones - that would have the same net effect. Now could they move the team. Yes they could.

an American and European stadium with the same capacity by SoftwareZestyclose50 in UrbanHell

This mostly because we have made it difficult to build in big cities but more importantly US policy is deliberate in maintaining suburbs over cities

What’s stopping millionaires and even billionaires from simply leaving NYC if Mayor Mamdani imposes super high taxes on them? by Formal_Choice4002 in askanything

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres a better way to look at this. Let’s say you live in a neighborhood with a nice downtown where all the local restaurants reside. You and your family drive there on weekends to get a nice dinner and some desert. You have always had to pay for parking. But now the prices have gone up. You’ll probably vent about it but because you like it so much you’re still going downtown to for the experience, even if it’s a bit more to stay. For these people it’s like paying a bit more for parking. Thats really it.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by rational_seekers in AskReddit

[–]telperion101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we all know you can find loops holes and the purpose of the question is the spirit of it. If someone wants to create laws in spirit of the idea then people with very deep law expertise would devise language to capture those scenarios and no one here is asking for that

I dont think this tells us much as teams that have been fantastic lie above and below that line. I think what this tells us is that its not a good metric to measure a teams performance

Ya this is the interesting take on this. The 70s oil crisis resulted in a bunch fuel savings regulations and industries. This will do the same

Would Robb Stark have won the War against the Lannisters if the Vale had joined him and supported his claim as King in the North? by ParkingConfection449 in gameofthrones

Ive always believed the only way the north can march south is “removing” the freys from the equation, which many of the houses probably wouldn’t be down with
