  I’ll never forget walking home from school one day, which I usually got A’s & B’s but didn’t feel challenged or motivated to be into it enough, when someone on a street corner of the subway handed me a floppy disk of AOL 1.0.

  @woofknight 19. Only one I’m missing is the AOL address - I never used AOL despite them sending me many complementary disks, I was into weirder and more obscure BBSes.

  @chamath Frontier models are headed down the AOL road. The question is, when Anthropic and OpenAI fail, who gets dragged down with them? What companies do well? Nvidia? Hyperscalers?

  @doc_1029 @KickRocks2026 I agree with you. I got to say, though...Years ago. AOL was the king. And I was involved w an online game. N I got to tell u the two techie guys would argue every week during n after our missions I loved watching them argue. Some kind of voyeurism issue I don't know. But I got a kick out of it

  This is exactly the kind of infrastructure-level integration that proves we’re past the build phase 👀 Ripple successfully tested as a blockchain enhancer for the SWIFT network (Hyperledger + ISO 20022) back in June 2025, and now it’s moving toward actual integration. Remember when the internet went from heavy build-out to mass adoption in 1998? I was an AOL shareholder and worked at UUNET selling the pipes. The parallels with XRP and the Internet of Value today are identical — regulatory clarity + real infrastructure hooks = adoption phase. We’re entering the Green Zone. 🍻

  I spent 13 years at Southern Bell which became Bell South. Then the government took over and destroyed it. They were forced to rent their network to rivals like HBO and AOL. I sent the bills. 6 years at Motorola. After 9/11 40k of us were laid off.

  @GraduatedBen You still don't have a point, and you ignored all of mine, which made your initial points impossible. But let's go through this comment, too. The 2000 by-right ruling is real and it's well-known, but it's basically irrelevant for your point. The buildout pace for DCs is well-documented! Through 2013, the county permitted an average of 6 DCs a year, then with streamlining in 2014, they got that up to ~14/yr. Circa 2000-10, Loudoun added ~37k Asians, when the industry was a few dozen buildings employing a couple thousand people, half of whom were contractors (and thus irrelevant). AOL alone had more engineers in Dulles than the whole DC industry did, and AOL's former Loudoun HQ was eventually converted into a DC. That is to say, office tech employment that *actually* imports engineers and such preceded and were replaced by DCs. If concurrency is your standard, then the 2020s make your theory look terrible because permitted square footage went from 26.4m in 2021 to 53m in 2025, while Loudoun's Asian population grew only 5.2% since 2020 (slowest rate in decades). The point (?) about Prince William County gets the geography wrong, too. The DC district covers 9,500 acres of industrially zoned land along Rt 28/Innovation near Manassas, which is not Gainesville or Bristow. The ZIPs hosting the overlay's operating DCs are 20109 (10.3% Asian), 20110 (5.4%), and 20112 (6.9%), which means basically being at or below the 10% county baseline. The Gainesville-area project is the separate PW Digital Gateway initiated by QTS in 2021, with a comp plan approved in 2022, then litigated, leaving essentially nothing there during the demographic window you've described. The 18% figure you cited is misleading because it's clearly not just Indians. You only get from 14.6% "Asian alone" to ~18% using "Alone or in any combination", while the county baseline 10% is based on "Asian alone", and Bristow 20136 is 10.8% (13.1% combo), which is nowhere near 18%. Adding 12,000 Asians since 2020 is also just wrong for PWC. It was 10.3% Asian (~49.7k) in 2020, and the latest ACS puts it at 48,594 (9.9%) Asians, with the Asian population estimated to have fallen ~2.5% since 2020. I think maybe you looked at ACS 5-year windows straddling 2020, conflating earlier growth? The actual Asian surge in PWC was 2010-20 (+19.85k), with 9 tracts >15% Asian at 2020, before Gateway existed, and before most overlay campuses operated. Also, Indian + Pakistani are only 33% of PWC's Asians (9,642 + 6,592). Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese communities are the plurality of the area's Asians. In Fairfax, Indians *are* 23% of the Asian population, but Loudoun is 50% Indian, not 60%, and you only get to ~61% by adding Pakistanis. But this just reflects earlier waves of settlement anyway. Fairfax's Asians date to the 1980s-90s, and Loudoun and western PWC were built after 2,000, during the era of H-1Bs. This undermines your theory, because EVERY post-2000 tech metro exurb in America is Indian plurality regardless of the presence of DCs! Frisco, Forsyth County GA, Edison, etc. If Indians were a DC signature, you'd expect them in Boydton, Quincy, and Prineville, but they're nonexistent. You just kind of skipped over all of this and failed to explain why the DC boom hasn't also been an Indian boom, which is what your theory predicts.
