A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

is there a reason why this water isn't recycled?
ok -- but why? Why not recapture it, cool it, and recycle it. Surely there are renewable energy sources, or ways of externally cooling the water with no energy at all that could be used for cooling as well.
Because that would entail extra effort and cost in order to benefit humanity in general, and why do that when they can just keep more profit for themselves?
you would think the cost of water alone would have some sort effect on how people think to design these things.
