We have some restaurants like that here. Always empty, somehow manage to survive while restaurants all around them close, open as something else and close again etc.

How does AI impact the door dash driver deciding not to deliver a pizza that’s ready because they can see what future orders are about to be ready?

By the way Doordash always worked like that

It really sucks when that happens, but at least DoorDash and Uber tell you that it’s being delivered to someone else first.

What I really hate, is when they are working 2 different apps, have my food, and then go in the exact opposite direction of my home to do the other apps delivery first, and neither service cares as long as it’s delivered to you by the latest expected time.

Agreed. That’s why I left my comment. I don’t like editorializing the titles from the news sites.

Upper Management: WTF are they complaining about, we don’t promise hot food or on time delivery on our website.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Pizza Hut is laying off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in California ahead of the state’s nearly 30% increase in its minimum wage, to $20 an hour from $16. PacPizza, operating as Pizza Hut, and Southern California Pizza Co. — another Pizza Hut franchise, both gave notice of layoffs impacting workers in cities throughout the state, Business Insider reported, citing notices filed with the state.

That would address the cold food issue maybe, but it wouldn’t fix the delay in delivery issue as they wait on starting the pizza so they batch better.

It doesn’t seem like AI is actually the problem here, as any new tech system could have given that kind of visibility to the DoorDash drivers and resulted in this problem, but either way, it’s an interesting fail, where a maybe good idea, falls apart because of human behaviour.

The year is 2050, massive petawatt scale ocean based data centres are warming the ocean in their immediate vicinity, opening up new breeding grounds for a new killer algae. The algae once unable to grow in regular ocean tempatures thrives in this new ecosystem, and once it matures is able to leave the warmer waters and destroys other marine life it comes into contact with.

This destruction of life in the ocean reverberates around the world as food supply dwindles and hundreds of millions of people begin to starve.

I’m sure there are people rich enough to do this too

I wont build my multi million dollar mansion here thats going to staff 8 full time people unless you waive my property taxes for 2 decades.

Jesus. It probably does happen. 😭

The citizens often dont eat anything, as its usually just delayed property taxes or other similar things. Im sure thats not always the case though and maybe they are sometimes given money.

The state then gets all the income taxes and jobs from building it.

But ya, without legislating things like this away it wont stop.

Edit: oh I misread part of what you said, you meant the supporting infrastructure like if the state paid for a new substation. Im sure that does happen, that would negate the income taxes for awhile. They should make the businesses pay for that, and let them recoup that through the tax benefits. Don’t take money from the tax payers to help them out.

Because unless every single state does it, they’ll go to the one that doesn’t.

The states are still going to make a lot of money off this, its just delayed by 7 years by their duration.

Would you rather get money in 7 years when they expire and increased income taxes from building it/staffing it or nothing?

This is for anything, not just data centers. States will always fight to get the investment.

Not small enough.

Supremely Court Ruling: The data center is supposed to open in one month, its not enough time to properly halt this plan now, so we rule in favor of the data center and electricity provider. Go find power elsewhere for your homes.

I think I read at one point also lowering the pressure in the tire helps as well, but not sure how low you could safely go. You want more surface area on sand.

Edit: someone lower in the comments says 15psi

Wtf would you even want to make something that big.

Thats a huge geographic vulnerability. You could still make huge ones but spread it out.

I know. To have 90% of new vehicles use recycled lithium requires 10s of millions of cars being old enough to be recycled to cover the 10s of millions of new cars being built that year.

Also many EV batteries will go to a 2nd life like stationary storage for longer before finally being recycled.

Its decades away.

Assuming we keep using lithium for cars batteries, the day 90%+ of all new car batteries are recycled lithium will be a pretty cool moment. Decades away though.

Should start a betting pool, we’re the people who asked for this case to happen themselves corrupt.

Edit: even more hilarious if the news picked up on it

or they are trying to reveal a lot of dirt on their colleagues. Either way, I’m looking forward to it.

That would be kinda brilliant, but id be shocked if they were trying to pull that off.
