It’s hard to overstate just how massive Meta’s Richland Parish, Louisiana, data center site is. Use this tool to compare it to where you live....

    Did they purposefully name it after the dystopian borderlands Corporation?

      These guys usually name their shit after science fiction novels that they didn’t understand the themes of. This is likely named after the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons.

        Well, hopefully we’ll get a shrike and it’ll put all the billionaires in the tree of pain.

      It’s either saying it out loud, some inside joke that shouldn’t have been made public, or they don’t get the point of themes and morals of stories.

        They’re openly saying it, mocking the masses

      I think there’s some prior art (about 100y) by a poet named Hölderlin.

        I’d say more like a couple thousand years

            Hyperion is one of the oldest names we have though? Why do you think Hölderlin wrote that poem?
