I want this to be good, but I’m going to guess the gameplay mechanics are something like boardgamegeek.com/…/destination-Hogwarts which isn’t promising.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 days ago:
You started off with an ad hominem attack calling it armchair nonsense, that the weight argument has no merit. I’m pointing out i have actual experience in this area. If you hadn’t been an asshole with your initial reply I wouldn’t have bothered replying, instead here we are.
Everything is a money problem when you get down to it far enough. Why don’t we have mars colonies? Money. Why don’t cars fly? Money. Why doesn’t everyone live in super tall towers that touch the atmosphere? Money. Sure let’s just ignore all the engineering considerations and reduce it down to the absolute basic explanation of “money” so that nobody in this thread will learn anything.
Why don’t we have super tall datacenters? It’s not worth the money to sustain that level of weight in a new tower, and definitely not worth it to overhaul an existing tower.
It’s pointless to call out money as the limit, that’s completely obvious.
Anyways I’m over this thread, byeeeee.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 days ago:
I’ve built out 7 datacenters across 3 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. digitalrealty.com/…/what-floor-loading-capacity-d…
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 days ago:
Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you’re at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It’s much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
- Comment on BBC apologises to Trump over edit but refuses to pay compensation 1 week ago:
Having dug up and watched how they edited it, yes a retraction was definitely called for. They cut out almost an hour of content to manipulate his words in a way a journalist should never do.
Fuck paying him any money though. Their response here seems reasonable.

I really like the shuttlecraft, I wish they’d sell that on its own.
- Comment on Unveiling the Official LEGO U.S.S. Enterprise-D 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry but that looks like ass and it’s $400 usd. If it looked better and was half the price, I’d be all over it.

Why would you have to wash your face before eating? Or brush your teeth? You can do it after.

They stored people in quark’s holosuites in that ds9 episode
- Comment on Steady 2 months ago:
They say they’re holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.
They didn’t say they were holding steady at ideal levels.
- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 2 months ago:
I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.
Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I’ve deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear around the world, the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.

First good episode of the season IMHO.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" 3 months ago:
Solid ep, but I thought the whole phone line thing was stupid.
I like that they have fun with the show, but I wish they would do it less frequently. It feels too silly at times.

Ca is just north from you in Vancouver. World being in Germany will make a noticeable latency difference.

Yeah I moved off nova to this. It took a bit to get used to it, but now I like it more.

go work for employers that embrace remote work
Have you not noticed the massive numbers of people being laid off right now in all sorts of industries?
Remote jobs are not easy to find right now. Employers are being very picky, and they can be when they get 100 applicants a day for a position. This is not the easy solution you make it out to be.

First post ever to complain about moderation, and you ignore the shitty comment that started it all.
Who are you the alt of?

Flying into a thunderstorm isn’t forbidden, it’s just not a good idea and generally avoided. Planes are designed to take a lightning strike without issue, I’ve been on a plane that was struck.

Wireless is not the answer. Multiple redundant fiber paths are. This isn’t rocket science.

Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.
