we need from 10 to 13 servers, each with at least 8 cores, 512GB RAM, and ample disk space (10-15TB), running for about 5-9 months
sounds pretty slow to me

I can't be bothered to read into the details of a situation when it makes my profession look bad
crap
Yeah, that's what they're saying over there in Fukishima. "Nuclear is cheap, but this uncertainty is killing us!"
When you begin counting the cost of nuclear, you've got to count ALL the costs. Including, as at Fukishima, basic engineering errors that ultimately cost astronomical amounts years after construction.
you mean the basic engineering error where the project manager wouldn't sign off due to the mistake made in concrete formulation so he was fired and a more lenient approver installed in his place?
it is sooooo easy to bend that data when your job depends on funding for it.
brains are usually grey. if these people have white matter in their brains maybe we just add dark matter and mix it together becomes grey. brains are grey anyhow

his posts are the disgusting type that make me feel negative about life and oh by the way hate slashdot.
it's likely he's created multiple accounts in multiple browsers and cycles them so that he has mod points ready to go any time he wants them
Everyone has lazy and unproductive workers. Why should any worker give half a fuck about his company if he can clearly see that even the CEOs are trying their best to milk it for all it's worth and then move on to the next corporation to pump and dump?
There is no work ethic left. On no level of the work force. What I see today in our economy reminds me in a stunningly way of what went down in the former communist countries. Same shit. Same mismanagement with the same disillusioned workforce, with everyone trying his best to waste as little energy as possible doing work, knowing that if he put in more all that would be his reward is more workload shifted onto him. Mostly because it just doesn't friggin' matter whether you try to work hard or whether you slack. Your chances for promotion are zero, your chances to get fired are not influenced at all by how you work. So why bother with anything?
There is simply no identification with your workplace anymore, and no faith in the ones steering the company's course.
And bluntly, whether you think your politicians are greedy, selfish idiots with zero qualification for their job and no well being in their mind aside of their own, or whether you think your boss is like this, where exactly is the difference between public and private sector?
can you find a good reason to bother treating your employees well? what's to say they won't just do what you're doing right now?
those are really good points
drivetrain losses, that's a damn good point.
I support them because nuclear, even though it'll never happen
I support them for this reason, even though we'll never go to nuclear.

If you think burning fossil fuels in an ICE at 25% efficiency is green, then keep on sending your money to the terrorists.... EVs emit less CO2 than ICE cars even if the electricity comes from dirty coal because there is much higher efficiency at all stages.
if by "much higher efficiency" you mean 40% vs 25%
then yes.
factor in transmission line losses (6%) and charging losses (10-20%)
and it's not so much more efficient.
Lasers have over the horizon issues as they can't use ballistic trajectories. You aren't going to take out another ship at 100 miles with a laser
whatever dude they work great on my Red Alert simulations. I say go for it
I am ashamed this question would be asked
