Not to mention a much higher carbon footprint.
The reason evaporative coolers are cheap is because they use a fraction of the electricity that chillers do.
And note that the majority of data center water usage is indirect via power generation, so using less water on site but more indirectly by consuming more power is both more expensive and less efficient.
Unfortunately, evaporative coolers are the best way to go, for now.
And it works because Americans don't pay attention and our media is full of traitors and cowards.
I hate the fact that those dna samples will 100% end up in a government database of bioanalytics used to further spy on citizens.
100%. One of the reasons I didn't join a union as a skilled worker is that I don't want to be locked into doing the same exact thing for the rest of my career.
Article does not explain why it's called the Enchilada Trap. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Good for them! I'm glad they got an excellent contract!
But we need to keep in mind that "and benefits" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I looked at the contract, the pay is something like 30-40 an hour. Good, definitely a living wage, but not $170,000 good. People see that number and think it's the salary.
No one's mad, we just think it's funny
I was so busy imagining Cher trying to lick her own pussy that I almost didn't see the tiny waist part
Hmmm I wonder why the fuck that is
Mostly city kids arguing on the internet, I'd imagine.
It's easy to see that the last part is simply not true.
What??
I mean, there's some nuance, but "the vast majority of CEOs are men" kinda implies "women are largely excluded from it". It's a very simple conclusion. I can get discussing the nuance but to say "simply not true"? What in the redpill?
For California at least, residential use is about 10% of all water usage iirc. So if data centers are dwarfed by that...not a big concern in the big picture.
The issue I guess is when data center usage sucks up all the local supply. State and region wide they don't use much but they do use a lot in one small area.
