    1. How much does a tech bro cost?
      from the Guardian
      Cities across the US are courting Big Tech companies with taxpayers’ cash – but do the numbers add up?

      @amphetamine I can't stand the fawning when a tech company suggests that it might come to a country or a city, especially when it's a bloody data centre.

      Anyone who knows anything about tech knows a datacentre is a building full of servers and requires just a few people to keep it going. Why governments keep throwing tax breaks and subsidies at companies wanting to build DCs is beyond me.
