"never" is a strong statement made in scalars of a three-dimensional space.

I think simple zoning is nice but ultimately building stuff that ruins a community as determined by that community despite piles of money is always a bad idea. If you don't like that community's ideas you gotta negotiate with them.

@sailaunderscore Wait, how did she manage to spend 2k on the damn thing?

@JTAlexander The secret is actually if you exercise enough diet doesn't matter, or so the long distance hikers tell me while eating corn chips and chugging olive oil

I remember this but it was with covids

T+0 sec. All datacenters die. Near-total global comms blackout instantly, including a large chunk of landlines and cellular

T+1 min. Payments and exchanges frozen. Lots of 911 routing and dispatch are datacenter-hosted: people can’t call for help.

T+15 min. ATC sees planes but loses flight planning and weather. Everything grounded, airborne traffic is voice and paper. An incident somewhere is likely.

T+1 hr. Grid operators fly blind without datacenter hosted energy management. Large regional blackouts within hours. Many pipelines get shut down preemptively.

T+2-4 hrs. Panic: no comms plus no payments is scary. Runs on stores and fuel by mid-afternoon. Police can’t dispatch or communicate beyond radio.

T+4-8 hrs. Hospitals in genuine crisis: no labs, records, pharmacy, transfers, staff management. Complex care stops. Industrial accidents accumulate as many plants have to attempt manual shutdowns.

T+8-16 hrs. Blackouts plus no police plus no comms means looting and violence at scale (1977 New York).

T+16-24 hrs. Death toll rises globally: unanswered cardiac arrests, fires, accidents, hospital and industrial failures… Several regions in the dark, without water, and lawless overnight.

Even if you turn everything back on after this it will be weeks before you can get the world running somewhat smoothly again.

Our world runs on datacenters, and before the recent anti AI hysteria most people were fine with that

I think now is the time where I can finally give the ted talk where I get on the stage and just say "whoriscopes"

@VeeEmYou "We won, you're all unemployed. Hahahaha, but we 'care', don't we, ladies?"

[音GATO @realRiverC]

The only point here is that there is no argument in reality that cities or localities cannot have a very high degree of control over what is built for multiple reasons including safety, prospective resource use, social repercussions (i.e. casinos, strip clubs) -- that they don't always exercise these doesn't mean they don't or shouldn't have these powers. You're just salty when they are used against you.

@The_Fair_Ground @thedillona @xwanyex I am going to try to take you seriously, so here's the thing. In order to determine if your house is structurally sound and won't knock down the buildings next to it, what level of prescription do they need?

@thedillona @The_Fair_Ground @xwanyex Ah, so can you explain to me how the great fire of Chicago started

[音GATO @realRiverC]

@The_Fair_Ground @thedillona @xwanyex This is just the beginning of the argument my guy. Like we start with "ok it doesn't make sense to allow people to just build a nuclear power plant" sure, but maybe nobody cares if you put up a shed. But if you put up a house and it falls down, that's a problem, isn't it?
