NYT gives "data centers in spaaaaaaaaace" the he said, she said treatment, but I can't argue with the final quote from Tom Mueller "The hottest thing to invest in right now is A.I., and the second-hottest thing is space. Now they’re converging." (this is not to say they're *good* investments, but it does go some way to explain why so many more-money-than-sense techbros are so hyped about the idea) https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/technology/space-data-centers-ai.html?unlocked_article_code=1.BVA.ba0o.zBMifPKFo2Fy&smid=url-share #GiftArticle #GiftLink

I had my first encounter with biometric exit on an international flight tonight. Because I am on team “how do you know you have rights if you don’t exercise them?” I requested an opt out. And the gate agent told me no one had done that before! They had to call a supervisor to find out what to do. BTW once they figured out the manual procedure it was fast. The agent then put me back at the head of the boarding line and ultimately the opt out wasn’t a big deal. #GiftLink
