Should data center revenue help fund education? This US Senate candidate thinks so.

Independent Senate candidate Mark Moran is proposing a 2% tax on data center’s revenue to help pay fund American’s education.

If he’s elected, the McLean native and former FBoy Island reality TV star said he intends to push for the fee on gross revenue from data center operations instead of profit like other corporate taxes. Plus, he said he’d charge companies for human workers displaced by an AI system, though it’s unclear how that would be calculated.

Elon Musk told companies to leave Delaware. Turns out they didn’t listen.

It was all over the news, but we crunched the numbers and the “DExit” narrative was not only overblown, it was wrong.

We looked at 20 years of Census data. In 2024 — the year of all those DExit headlines — Delaware actually captured a larger share of new US business applications than the year before.

The technology voters don’t see is often what keeps polling places running.

In Philadelphia, poll worker training focuses on preventing technical issues from becoming voting access problems. That includes learning how to use voting machines, electronic poll books, hotlines and backup equipment when something goes wrong.

While election security safeguards are often invisible to voters, poll workers and machine inspectors play a key role in troubleshooting problems, keeping lines moving and helping voters cast their ballots without unnecessary delays.

SBIR funding is back! But there are a bunch of changes.

Companies can get amounts ranging from $50k to nearly $2M. And promising startups can access up to $30M to bridge the “valley of death” (though that money used to go toward university research).

International ties are now under big scrutiny, especially with Russia, China and Iran. There’s tighter screening, some of it coordinated with intelligence agencies. And starting next year, there’s a crackdown on “SBIR mills” — where one company floods the application process.

Experts say there may be delays getting the program fully back up and running, since there’s already a backlog and less staff. If you’re applying for SBIR funding, tell us how it’s going, and read more at link in bio.

Waymo was a no-show at Philly’s City Council hearing discussing its oversight. And its written statement didn’t clarify much.

City Council hosted a session which included city officials, local academics, ride share drivers and community members. The session discussed topics like autonomous vehicle regulations, guidelines and the possible impact on transportation workers

Waymo offered a written testimony addressing some issue, but it wasn’t read aloud nor published online, leaving many at the hearing with unanswered questions.

The company began piloting the self-driving vehicles in Philadelphia last summer and announced in December that it would eventually be fully launching in the city. Residents have since had mixed feelings about the autonomous vehicles in the city.

Future uses of AI are being shaped now, so I’d rather more workers influence it’s direction than fewer. This is a means of production, why resist it? Inside one union’s embrace from a @technical_ly story by @kaelacoverstech #union #tech #economy #ai #workers

Hollie Mackey is a member of the Northern Cheyenne, and leads the National Science Foundation-funded @ndagtechengine in my @technical_ly latest, She says entrepreneurship won’t save the American soul, despite its popularity, but stories about what entrepreneurship represents — of being pro-newcomer, and getting your fist shot — just might. #economy #startup #tech #founder #northdakota

PO alert: South Philly's Exyn is known for sending robots to map mines and other hard-to-reach spaces.

It's the region's first tech IPO in years, now trading on Nasdaq under EXYN and EXYNW. What does the company do? It builds software that helps drones move through without relying on GPS, a preloaded map or a constant communications link.

The COO is excited about the growing group of robotics and robotics-adjacent companies in the Philadelphia region, with executives informally sharing advice on supply chains, operations and the realities of scaling deep tech.
