Sure you can have fancy liquid cooling to move heat away from the processors, but you still need something to move the heat into. You can radiate it into space, but not quickly enough to do useful work 24/7.

There’s nowhere to dump heat! Modern data centers rely on heat exchange systems that move excess waste energy into the air or earth. The servers will be thermally throttled to a crawl.

Gee, if only the private corporation with a near monopoly on “progressive” general election ballot lines would hold meaningful, competitive primary elections for the highest office in the land. But no, it’s “tradition” for unelected party insiders to clear the field for demonstrably unpopular incumbents who broke their campaign promise of running a single term. Better to handpick the nominee before voters even get a say.

Look at NYC. Their ranked-choice mayoral primary is competitive, and voters turn out when it actually matters. You can’t blame people for skipping a rigged system that’s failing to produce candidates they actually like. Doing so isn’t gonna lower cost of living or fix the broken US healthcare system, which is what most people are actually voting for when they get the chance.

I use it to stay connected to my local community including the high school robotics team I help mentor. I don’t have much of a choice. :(

Obama could have vetoed the PATRIOT extension act, and yet he signed it in 2010, and then again 2011, and then in 2015 he signed the USA Freedom Act, which replaced mass surveillance with “targeted surveillance”. And I’m no law expert, but in my view with the current federal government “targeted” does not seem to mean very much with respect to actions by the US government toward its citizens.
