Yes, exactly. Although, after thinking about it, the way systemd automatically asks for root's password when any unprivileged user attempts to run a systemctl task that requires privilege is probably a more similar example.

Like sudo?

I wonder how many software shops would have to close their doors if this were adopted industry-wide.

Was ivermectin involved?

Or the incumbent telecom/broadband companies. Difference is that with Bezos/Musk, at least you'll get service for it.

... this month. And still going!

... Rust being put to use improving our computing security.

It's spelled "maroon" - just ask Bugs.

Why would you expect a massive spike of cancer deaths in 2020? You think the study claims people will die instantly the moment they start sitting down more?

Do you similarly rebut the link between cigarettes and death by saying "that's why so many 14-year-olds suddenly keel over... wait, what?"

This is what I do too, and it's mainly because I simply find it more comfortable to stand for a while a few times during the day.

Basically Vance is just trying to make ultra-sure that everyone knows he's in lockstep with the president in all ways... including in corruption.

I'd argue they both are focused on funneling money into their own pockets...

The radiators on the ISS are able to dump somewhere between 300 and 700 watts of heat per m^2. That's a square meter of surface for a single GPU, and a single CPU.

Any sufficiently large data center worth operating for "AI" would probably be visible to the naked eye from the ground because of all the surface area that would be required with current methods of heat dissipation in vacuum.

The whole idea is stupid, and it's just a justification for Elmo to continue building rockets - he's trying to create markets for several of his companies based on this foolish, stupid idea that will never work better than just building it on the ground where service, scaling, expansion, and cooling are cheap.

You mean besides burning thousands of tons of methane on a concept that physics and easily observed reality says is very stupid?

That seems like a pretty good reason.

And the bigger the area, the larger the probability of a high-speed interaction with micrometeors, dust, and debris punching holes through it. Hope you aren't using a liquid transport medium to move the heat into the radiator!
