De BIT-cultuur
Wij zijn geen trendvolgers. Integendeel, wij lopen vaak voorop met de technologie die we gebruiken. En als het nodig is, dan maken we die technologie zelf. Deze insteek heeft al geleid tot een aantal heel succesvolle producten.
Met een relatief klein, maar ontzettend hecht team staan we iedere dag weer klaar om onze gezamenlijke passie voor internet te delen, met elkaar én met onze klanten. Er heerst een open, innovatieve en collegiale werksfeer die leidt tot doelgerichte oplossingen en tevreden klanten.
#LewistonME votes down #AI #DataCenter after public outcry
One councilor said the data center proposal for Bates Mill No. 3 yielded ‘by far’ the most public feedback he’s received on a single issue.
“It will house no one, feed no one, provide no beauty, and enrich no one’s lives, only the developer’s pockets. The downtown should be for people, not machines.”

"A plan for placing a $300 million artificial intelligence data center at Lewiston’s Bates Mill complex faced a wave of opposition Tuesday and was unanimously voted down by the City Council.
"Since the proposal to redevelop Bates Mill No. 3 into an 85,000-square-foot data center became public last week, city officials have been flooded with feedback from constituents, with many questioning whether the deal is worth it for Lewiston.
"Before the standing-room-only crowd could even begin public comment Tuesday, councilors said they would vote against the project due to the overwhelming outcry over the weekend and lingering questions about the project.
"The proposal by MillCompute LLC called for developing a 'Tier III' AI data center on two floors of the mill, with the upper two floors becoming 'modern office/innovation space for technology companies' and more.
However, officials have faced questions about the group behind the proposal, a tax deal that’s seen as favorable to the developer, and a storm of concerns over potential utility usage and environmental impacts that mirrors a national debate over the rise of AI data centers."

Ok people I hear you: you want a photo of Duck in the datacenter. While I can't give you the original I can give you a realistic video re-enactment!
I've tried to stay accurate but was limited to available materials in my home workshop. Most obvious change is that one of our chicken (a hen, to stay as close to reality as possible) is cosplaying as Duck. Otherwise I think we've captured the datacenter setting rather well.
I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Tucson Voted Against An Amazon Data Center In the Desert. The Tech Giant Is Building It Anyway.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won. But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.
