Because they're being put far too close to residential areas. The way they're being designed and built, they actually are an enemy [1]. Nobody wants to live next to that.
I'm glad to see this. Anti data center propaganda is rampant right now, with large amounts of it proven to be pushed by China to slow down American AI companies. We have tons of oil processing facilities, way more than data centers and they use way more water.
Complaining about anti-white discrimination is not being a white supremacist. White supremacy is about thinking white people are superior to other races.
Being against facism and racism is centrism, being part of an "anti-fascist" or "anti-racist" group is radical left. If you're part of a "group" that has stated goals of pushing something that is already a norm then its pretty clear what what you're doing is not pushing for what is already the norm as if it was the norm you wouldn't need to push for it.
Hey, I'm sorry about my other message. I tried to tell another user in this thread to go f* themselves, and I seem to have accidentally clicked the wrong "reply" link in the tree and so my message went to you instead. What you write here is reasonable.
What's the surface area of radiators that this thing is going to need? The cost of compute in space is determined by the energy that must be gathered and dissipated. What about micrometeorites? There's nothing economically viable or meaningful about running a data center in space.
160 square meters, which if ran in optimum conditions would reject between 100 to 150 kilowatts.
Micrometeorites is not a significant concern. There aren't that many of them and 100% reliability is not required. If one is hit then you end of life it or de-rate it (i.e. shut down some of the processors or underclock them) appropriate to the lost solar energy or lost radiating power.
Server clusters already replace racks every 5 years or so and dispose of them. (It used to be ever 3 years.) How is this any different?
Precisely the reason I would never invest in SpaceX is because Musk is pathological liar that's full of shit and their investors don't live on a world where stock pricing is based on fundamentals.
You're being disingenuous. Tesla employee count, including founders, was 2 (or 3, depending on accounts) at the time that Elon "founded" Tesla. Tesla was a paper company with no assets to its name. In any normal company you would have agreed and negotiated cofounder status when coming into a company with that few employees. I don't think the lack of agreement changes whether someone is effectively a founder or not.
They didn't have any IP or assets. He did it because he and JB were already working on doing the same thing and it was better to join forces rather than set up two paper companies competing with each other.
I mean GamerGate was the start of all this. It was the start of the end of the gaming industry. Games were made primarily for and by guys and they knew their target market. They didn't try to appeal to everybody they tried to appeal to to the people who bought their games. Now you have more games than ever before and gaming studios are going bankrupt left and right because they filled their staff full of people who don't even like gamers.
