It’s up to the customer to decide if they want data redundancy. AWS offers it, it just depends if the customer is willing to pay for it.

How the fuck is this valid? The UN HQ and surrounding land should be should be a principality allowing anyone to go there.

Petty US government bullshit.

This! They seem to be programmed from birth to only vote one way. I get the impression they would be ostracised by family and friends if they voted for the other party.

It’s the only explanation as to why they keep voting the same candidate in. Even when the candidate continually votes against raising the minimum wage, cheaper healthcare, gun control or anything else that would improve the lives of the people they represent.

Yes, accurate information and a quality education are important.

…for now.

What happens if they outlaw being gay, trans, communist, Jewish, Muslim, autistic…

It’s like that Chinese mine landslide, literally nothing you can do but die.

RIP those poor people.

That’s hardly the worst Highlander movie, at least it had Michael Ironside. The Source was garbage.

Disney ruined the Star Wars sequels. All the money, all the talent, so much potential, and they pushed out those turds.

This is a pet peeve of mine, I see “loose” used incorrectly all the time.

I blame the parents

Even when people create memes about it, it still gives me chills to think what that would’ve been like.

Fair enough, I didn’t realise they were so different from traditional DC’s.

Well that’s one way to speed run environmental catastrophe.

Sorry to burst your bubble but DC’s aren’t going anywhere. Even if we are in a position to make quantum computers commercially available in the next 10 years they’ll still need to be housed somewhere, powered, cooled and connected.

Besides, quantum computers are great at complex calculations and simulations but you wouldn’t use them to host a website or a VPS. They’ll be hideously expensive so will only be used for the specific workloads that they excel at and everything else will done with the same servers we have now.

I’ve never seen a data centre with a chimney stack. This must be an American thing.

It doesn’t. The process we have now kicked off is not going to change to any great degree whether we continue to build or stop building data centres.

Even if we immediately stopped all pollution and went back to a pre-industrial way of life, the damage is done, the ice caps will continue to melt and we will still have to deal with the consequences of our actions.

I’m not saying we should continue to abuse the environment, but AI wasn’t the catalyst for climate change and it isn’t the worst thing we are doing.

Yeah, because if it wasn’t for AI, the climate would be just fine.

Blame the motor vehicle, logging, industrial farming, factories…

I get that AI is the new poster-boy for everything that’s wrong with the world, but the environment was fucked long before it came along.

I feel for you, I’m 54 and I wouldn’t want to be 25 again.

Agreed, fuck competition! I’m sure Sony will always put the customer first when they’re the only option.

/s just in case it isn’t clear.

We go to sleep and never wake up.
