    Ah yes let’s continue to build water-hungry infrastructure in states like Arizona and Utah where the water just flows oh so freely. Maybe we can see if we can get data centre induced subsidence to make Salt Lake City further below sea level than New Orleans! Climate change challenge - who will win? Kevin O’Shetbag can host it.

      Actually, that’s a good idea - could someone please dissolve Kevin in a bucket of acid and then add piss to it. Thanks.

    One of the most obnoxious, punch-worthy pieces of human filth alive on the planet today. And that’s really saying something cuz he’s got some serious competition.

        He really pumped and dumped Softkey/TLC on Mattel. From $4.2B in 1999 to selling the whole thing off for $27.3M in 2000. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another one of his “ride the valuation wave” schemes.

    Don’t ask what a data center can do for you, ask what YOU can do for a data center

      The biggest standard rack I could find has the dimensions of 19 inches wide, 90 inches tall, 47.2 inches deep. Height isn’t super important for floor usage, so a rack takes up 896.8 square inches or 74.73 6.2 square feet. A 4U server chassis holds roughly 10 drives, and can fit 12 chasses in a 48U rack.

      This datacenter can hold a maximum of 8,580,264 130,398,967 racks holding 1,029,631,680 15,647,876,040 drives. Assuming 4TiB drives, that’s a total of 3.84 68.82 Zebibytes of data. The entirety of the Internet has roughly 148.23 Zebibytes.

      This new, smaller datacenter will hold approximately 2.56% 46.43% of all the data in the world.

      Edited for accuracy

        There are 4U server cases that hold 77 3.5” hard drives, and you could rig up empty cases with NAND of various forms and get even more density, if you could keep cooling under control.

        Also, most datacenters will not use 4TB disks, you would use giant 20TB enterprise disks (for spinning rust) or 8TB enterprise SAS or nVME drives. You will lose some of that capacity to redundancy though, as RAID and region replication takes place.

        So total capacity, minus disk first losses (so *0.85 as a rule of thumb) and then divide by the redundancy (probably / 3)

          Realistically there’s going to be a mixture of cpu compute, gpu compute, storage, and general purpose. I feel like 10 drives per chassis is a decent average, and I intentionally used 4TiB to illustrate this truly absurd proposal.

      I grew up Mormon and have family in Utah. From what I’ve experienced with our current leader, their morals are all expendable for politics. The multiple affairs and way he talks about women should’ve been enough for them based on their beliefs but they still love him.

      They will do the same here. As long as rich people say it’s good, they’ll destroy their environment for them in the spirit of “prosperity”.

        Fair but they used to be violent AF and tribal. Weird because the Department of War just snubbed them by leaving thong the list of recognized “Christian” sects

      It’d be better, but selling that much land for this bullshit is still unconscionable.
