Now you’re just being obtuse.

This post does nothing to advance the discussion, yet is still appreciated.

The design for coastal barges would work as well in deeper ocean, and the containers already have cooling systems in place. As I said, the only legitimate reason for deep ocean or space data centers is data sovereignty. The rest is just excuses or harder than the existing options. Which is why no one else is doing it and the reason Elon would.

This isn’t as hard as you want to believe, nor would it require a brand new ship. If you want to do coastal designs, there are already some in place. If you want data sovereignty, the only real benefit of space data centers, a small cargo vessel with container data centers and one or more onboard generators could do this. Fueling it would be a challenge, but no more than all the issues with a space data center. As for time constraints, this would still be faster to deploy than any space-based solution.

None of this makes it a good idea, just not particularly novel, difficult, or time-consuming.

This isn’t a new idea. This is a problem that every nuclear sub deals with. From what I can gather, fresh water runs inside the reactor in two separate zones, and after powering the steam turbine goes into the condenser which is cooled by seawater.

However it works, this problem has been solved for decades.

I’m not sure mine will until I die, and certainly not until Trump and his ilk are no longer a concern. That’s simply a national security matter.

“Please, stop. We can’t take any more winning!” But we can. Here’s hoping the good news keeps coming over the next 2 years.

Didn’t that happen once already and it was decided that there wasn’t enough time in the 2 months between the election and the candidate taking power without leaving the citizenry in uncertainty over who was elected?

I think putting all the blame on the lax security isn’t okay. There are shitty people doing shitty things, and they should be punished for it. And the people who are implementing lax security should also be punished.

What we really need to do is legislate this into our banking apps.

How will we recognize her if her hair is dyed blonde?

My Christian school taught me the scientific method in grade 5 or 6. Maybe your government needs to have better educational standards, and enforce them. When I switched to public schooling, I was immediately able to enroll in advanced courses and get excellent grades. There were a lot of things to complain about at the private school I went to, but the education was excellent while I was enrolled.

Yes, I see the will of the people is once again being reflected in the actions of the bureaucrats…

I’ve gotten holes in my pants the first day I wore them doing manual labor. If they’re still covering my junk and protecting the important parts, I’m still wearing them.

I’m not saying the US Constitution is that great, but even it rules out cruel and unusual punishment.

The majority of the cost in applying the death penalty isn’t the method of execution, it’s all the administrative/court work to make sure you aren’t executing someone who shouldn’t be, which still allows innocent people on death row at an estimated rate of 4%.

Again, not great, not genocide, and from the article says likely not permanent. If I had to choose, I’d rather 4000 homeless people be treated like shit and have their lives in turmoil for a few months or even a year than 400 people be killed, but you do you.

First, mass murder is not the same as genocide, beyond the fact neither is okay. Second, that list has less than 1000 people in the last 12 years, so how is it relevant in any case? Were you under the impression that there were only 10,000 people living in extreme poverty or that 450 million or more were killed in the last decade?

If you do the manager’s duties and get called the head lackey, it’s not very formal but still significant.

The Petrochemical War of 1152 was quite the doozy.

The academic decline of (some portions of) the Middle East happened well before the practical use of petrochemicals or the founding or even discovery of America. The US could take this as a cautionary tale of the dangers of anti-intellectualism, but instead they will couch this as a moral failing of a race or religion.
