Blake Dodge(@dodgeblake):In this new piece for @PirateWires, @JonasYDu shadowed a founder trying to build a tiny data center on a remote plot of sand. He encountered fears of digital ID, Palantir <> Peter Thiel (obviously), and Flock (the police cameras company). Americans have been worked into a frenzy over data centers by the legacy press, and it’s… sad. Addressing their practical concerns, as this founder discovered, isn’t enough, because their fear is often both misplaced and conspiratorial.
