Inbox 90 is the best I can do today. Considering I started with over 3,100, this is not too bad. :)

"Overlord tech fund" sounds a lot more sinister than "Sovereign tech fund."

I am amused that "sovereign" now means some kind of cross between "independent" and "self-sustaining" when it literally means "overlord."

@m I guess you did specify "grid scale" -- so those do use swamp coolers predominantly. Even then, evaporated water doesn't stop being water, so it is not being "consumed" if it came from a flowing water source, as opposed to an aquifer.

in the areas where water is abundant (like here in Montreal), evaporative cooling only consumes filters.

I still see this emphasis on water consumption as misdirected when it comes to data centres. Making and transporting the servers, hiring technicians, etc -- all of it has a much grander impact on environment than water cooling.

@m nuclear power plants don't "use" the water. It's just a coolant and is usually taken from the river, lightly filtered, and then immediately returned into the river. It would be the same as claiming that hydroelectric dams "use" water.

The datacenters, on the other hand, usually make use of municipal water supplies -- and often return that water back into the municipal source (since it's still potable, just warmer).

In general, I am perplexed why this is referred to as "consuming" the water -- it's still largely the same water of the same quality after it's been used.

@Dio9sys I believe because it's two plates separated by electrolyte and then rolled up like a pastry. Basically, the same reason strudels or maki rolls are cylindrical.

Home renovations are like refactoring your code -- messy and full of occasional despair that you ever got started.

Thankfully, the end is in sight.

@luis_in_brief NYT have also been woefully and repeatedly wrong in almost all their Russia/Ukraine coverage.

Every government organisation, publicly funded entity, should leave X as soon as possible. The platform is now even labeling investigative journalism from Bellingcat as an "unsafe" link. It shows how X (and/or Elon Musk) supports Putin's agenda in the war with Ukraine and other rightwing actors. It's clearly not a neutral platform that can be trusted.

A video directly confirms a Russian missile strike on "Okhmatdyt" in Kyiv. It wasn't intercepted and didn't deviate from its coordinates - it was aimed precisely there to cause maximum casualties and inflict the most pain.

SBU investigators have determined that Russia struck "Okhmatdyt" with a Kh-101 missile.
