I saw someone post this was due to H1B visas. Then I drilled into the comments and saw it was a Palestine protest. It is getting hard to know what is true anymore as everyone is trying to push their own narrative.

"flood the zone" means a constant, loud, never-ending set of narratives all the time.

people will eventually start filtering out narratives they don't want to hear, and/or just tuning out entirely.

this serves those in power, as they have the ability to now shape the narrative.

Back when encryption and PGP was the hot topic, similar things happened with sovereigns.

I only saw a contrast of Japanese World Cup vs NY Knicks

I have been reading these threads where people are patching firmware with AI. I am wondering if there is a way to fix some of the privacy issues on Roku tvs given this deal.

go on...

I would have loved to see some clones of the original Nintendo games made to work in the browser as multi-player games. The original Final Fantasy would have been cool to see.

This could be a big issue for firms with strict GDPR criteria: "This change only applies to organizations that have set up workspaces with zero data retention (ZDR) in Claude Console, use Claude Code with ZDR in Claude Enterprise, or access Claude through AWS Bedrock, Google Cloud Agent Platform, or Microsoft Foundry with ZDR. The rest of this article applies only to these organizations."

Is the project more of a private residence or something that would bring tourism to the local economy?

There are 2 projects here. And there is a lot of missing details from both.

But what has happened before is that:

The government gives free/cheap/exclusive public land to someone to build apartments/villas. They sell these to whoever wants to buy before starting construction. At the end of construction, with the profits, they build nice hotels at the frontline and keep for themselves without investing any of their own money in anything.

So they will most likely build apartments in Narta, sell them to the populace, and keep Sazan for themselves as luxury resort.

Something worse than this has started happening for high rises too, where they start selling before getting the permit even. So they don't invest their own money even to get the initial permit to start building.

So... it's like a kickstarter for real estate!

It's worse. Most/All of the development is done by subcontractors who also get apartments/villas instead of plain cash for their work. So you will do plumbing on 10 villas and for your work get 20% cash + 1 apartment that you have to sell it yourself. This for all subcontractors except steel.

In NYC, Trump did something similar. He built condos, then sold them way above market to Russian oligarchs, who then immediately resold them at market value to people that were not laundering money.

Same grift, different marks.

Our bottleneck is going to be verification.

Energy is likely more abundant in China. I am not sure about compute, but that must be part of reason for such drastic price differences.

They're leaving us in the dust on solar, while our current administration is still trying to put people in the ground to dig up more coal and die of black lung. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China

Energy from coal in China decreased last year. The change is happening very quickly.

They also don't have to inflate profits for a coming IPO.

This reminds me of the Peter / Boris comments on writing loops to keep the agents busy.
