We assume tech clusters form around talent, but the AI boom is increasingly chasing cheap power — how Northern Virginia, Iowa and Ireland became data-centre capitals

Where the internet physically lives is being redrawn, and what’s pulling it isn’t engineers — it’s electricity. Across the industry, the biggest new data-centre campuses are chosen first for access to cheap, plentiful power. The old draw of a nearby talent pool now comes a distant second. Iowa cornfields, an Irish suburb near Dublin, and ... Read more

842,000 American Households Lost Power Today During a Heatwave

As America began celebrating its 250th birthday Saturday, 842,000 homes reported power outages, notes ABC News.

Did Microsoft Shift Its Profits to Low-Tax Countries?

Microsoft is apparently shifting its profits to countries with low taxes — and out of countries where they have many more employees and significant sales. Back in 2005 Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer even said that a low corporate tax rate "is part of the overall advantage of doing business in Ireland," remembers long-time Slashdot reader theodp.

One European company owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, the shops that sell them and the insurer that pays for them, and the reason glasses are so expensive is not the secret 80 percent monopoly of internet legend but something quieter and much harder to break

Walk into a Sunglass Hut, try on a pair of Ray-Bans, consider the Oakleys next to them, glance at a Prada frame, and pay using your EyeMed vision insurance. That feels like four separate choices. It is closer to one. The frames, the brands, the shop and the insurer all belong to a single company, ... Read more Read more

Carl Jung wrote that loneliness does not come from having no people about you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you, or from holding views that others find inadmissible. It’s one of his most quoted lines, and most people stop at the first half, the not-being-understood part. The half ... Read more Read more

Palm oil hides on supermarket labels under more than 200 different names — from sodium lauryl sulfate to glycerol stearate — and most shoppers have no idea they’re buying it in shampoo, chocolate and ice cream

Palm oil sits in roughly half of all packaged supermarket products, but it almost never appears on the label as "palm". The WWF lists more than 200 derivative names — from sodium lauryl sulfate to glycerol stearate — that disguise where the molecule came from, leaving shoppers with an impossible cross-referencing task at the shelf.

Palm oil supplies over a third of all the vegetable oil on Earth while using less than a tenth of the land devoted to oil crops — the most efficient fat humanity has ever found, and the most controversial

A single oil palm tree yields up to ten times more oil per hectare than soy or sunflower, which is why palm supplies over a third of global vegetable oil on less than a tenth of oil-crop land — and why its expansion into Sumatra and Borneo has become one of the hardest environmental tradeoffs on Earth.

ASML in Veldhoven ships each EUV lithography machine in roughly 250 crates aboard multiple Boeing 747s, the mirrors inside are polished so finely that scaled to the size of Germany the largest bump would be under a millimetre tall, and every advanced chip in every iPhone on Earth passes through one of these machines before it reaches a pocket

ASML insists it can account for every one of the 314 EUV lithography machines it has ever shipped — and that none of them, nor any component designed for one, has reached China. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says otherwise. The fight reveals just how concentrated the world's chip supply chain has become. Read more
