GOP warns AI companies that data centers are politically radioactive

"If voters' perceptions of data centers are not fixed quickly, the campaign against them will expand far beyond Ohio," the party warns.

It annoys me to no end that they view the problem as perception that needs to be "fixed".

Not "hey guys, we need to find a better solution to AI" or "hey maybe we can do this more responsibility with a lesser environmental impact."

Just "we need to put out a PR campaign."

With that being said, skin cancer is incredibly shitty. My wife has melanoma and has to get checked by a dermatologist every 3 months. They typically biopsy at least once every visit, and about every other visit they schedule surgery to cut one or more cancer spots off her.

They're not very pleasant surgeries either, since they have to go fairly deep and take pretty wide margins to ensure that it didn't spread. The stitches aren't very fun, since they last for several weeks. The spots around muscles that you move a lot, like your calf or thighs are the worst, because they pull and can tear the stitches. Cleaning and dressing the bandages isn't really great either, since you have a lot of caked on blood and ooze that's tricky to get off without pulling on the wounds.

All in all, skin cancer is 0/10, would not recommend. Wear sunscreen.

Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees: while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest.

"I think flexibility is here to stay," she said.

This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.

Unfortunately, most CEOs don't give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people's lives, which is why we're seeing more return to office initiatives.
