That kind of thing gets subsidized all the time, just not in the form of loan relief

The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.

What the fuck needs to get done by a chop engineer on short notice at midnight anyway
Or are they just calling line workers engineers to avoid paying overtime

For starters, wage theft is the largest dollar amount of theft in the US and that would improve some of the lowest paid workers lives if resolved.
I don’t know about all, but it would certainly alleviate the financial stress of some.

‘It’s pillage’: thirsty Uruguayans decry Google’s plan to exploit water supply

Theres usually a closed loop to get water in and out of a building for cooling, but then there’s the actual chiller that uses evaporative cooling (which is very thermally efficient but “consumes” water to function., and if this water isn’t clean it leaves behind all the gunk that was in it. Seawater can’t be used in this way, but you can tuna. Loop to dump the heat into the ocean.
There are other methods too but all of them are going to have a measurable environmental impact. Google just needs to not exploit low power and land costs, and a lack of environmental review and standards, to save a buck on hosting costs.

[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?

That’s what rentals are for. Yeah, there’s always going to be a need for low volume cargo transport and emergency response, but ultimately building cities so 90% of trips can be easily and comfortably accomplished via mass transit should be the goal. Nobody is suggesting transit can replace all cars.

Dodge RAM driver kills a cyclist. Media calls it a "bike crash".
To be fair calling it just a “crash” implies car vs car so calling it a “bike crash” conveys more i formation but makes it seem like only bikes were involved.

This was weird...
Costco isn’t the landowner, they only lease the building and the parking g lot is common space. Only the landlord can kick someone out of the lot, or the police if they’re breaking a law.

More likely there are “green space” requirements for projects, but the ongoing maintenance funding isn’t mandatory same problem in lots of places.
Easy to enforce the first part, hard to get funding for the second.
