    • @mattstone8878

      July 22, 2024 at 12:41 pm

      @Sareaesque  It is hard to tell because this person switches from one gender to the other. This type of behavior isn’t acceptable in society. At least in my opinion.

    • @Sareaesque

      July 22, 2024 at 12:46 pm

      @mattstone8878 it is perfectly acceptable, they are a man who has a consistent character they perform as, the character just happen to be a woman. He is still a man. It’s no different to any other performance.

    When I was a kid, I had no heroes. I had no mentors or guides or people I really looked up to. Then I saw you, and that changed. I’ve admired you ever since because you seem to be so unapologetically and authentically yourself. That really hit hard for me as an overweight immigrant kid growing up in LA in the 90’s. ❤

The data center boom is running into serious real-world obstacles, from widespread local opposition and permitting delays to a scramble for electricity. Before those challenges even come into play, though, there’s a more basic problem: A lot of the projects being announced may never get built in the first place. With billions of dollars in AI infrastructure investment at stake, separating realistic projects from speculative ones is becoming increasingly important.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Rebecca Bellan and Tim De Chant are joined by Brent Nelson, senior managing director of markets and strategy at Ascend Analytics, to separate the data center projects that are likely to get built from the ones that may never get off the ground.
