Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal

Re: US datacenters are experiencing a significant shift toward coal-powered energy

> At least nat gas is a byproduct of petroleum refining that wouldn't be used otherwise,

Erm no. That's like saying steak is a byproduct of glue making

Re: And?

If we didn't burn the coal to power AI generated cat videos it would just be left underground being a wasted resources

When you have government subsidy - coal is cheap

Company bids less than a penny per ton in biggest US coal sale in over a decade

Wonder what would happen if the Chinese government sold 187Million tons of coal at 0.1C/ton to a Chinese company

Microsoft warns of 'payroll pirate' crew looting US university salaries

Re: While in Soviet Russia…

But in Soviet Union you didn't have to login to your payroll everyday to find out why your family's last doctors visit didn't get covered.

crew looting US university salaries

It's difficult to defend against a national level actor targeting universities

Especially when they are your own government

Intel's open source future in question as exec says he's done carrying the competition

Re: Good news everybody

But who cares about hyperscalers with $1Tn HW budgets when you have the 'Dell Xeon in the server closet' market sewn up?

Re: Good news everybody

AI obviously !

Good news everybody

We are reverting to the glory days when everyone ran proprietary software on Intel.

This open source stuff will be relegated to run on non-Intel HW in data centers

Bank of England smells hint of dotcom bubble 2.0 in AI froth

Texas senators cry foul over Smithsonian's pricey Space Shuttle shuffle

Re: Pick it up

But they probably asked engineers, we have Vibes and Twitter

My luck I'd be behind it overtaking a Bagger 288 on a two lane highway

I slightly misremembered:

"the second gun, Dora, named after the senior engineer's wife",

must have been a slightly tense evening at home after the naming ceremony

Re: Pick it up

Where is the US executive branch going to get 4 Russian military helicopters ?

They aren't like gold plated 747s which other heads of state just give their best friends for free

Re: Controversial idea!

They weren't using Agent Orange this time.

Re: Thinking like a senator...

When you write the compress() function and leave expand() to the student

Never worked out if that was supposed to be a compliment. Like Krupp naming that giant WWII railway gun after his wife.

Re: Risks?

African or European Nissan Patrol?

Two of them holding it on a vine?

Clutched between the primary flight surfaces ?

Re: Controversial idea!

Then give Texas back to Mexico and you've solved everything

I thought NASA had a solution for transporting Space Shuttles - it's slow but would be quite the spectacle

>The shuttle is about 80K Kg.

So 80 Megagrams ?

>And apparently saying "OMD?" when a tour guide is asking where the name "Enola Gay" came from is not an accepted answer...

I thought it wasn't called that anymore, because it gives Hegseth funny feelings that he doesn't understand

Re: Barge?

>If the Spruce Goose could be moved from California to Oregon via barge

If the seaplane could be moved from the Port of Long Beach to the Port of Seattle by sea then why can't the pyramids be moved across the Sahara by camel ?

Re: Risks?

But the Nissan Patrol is non-migratory

Give them an Apollo capsule made of chipboard mounted on a scenery flat and tell them that the conspiracies were true

Re: I can move it for them far cheaper than that!

But what if you missed and hit Houston ?

Re: Thinking like a senator...

>A 40' intermodal container can carry 67,200lb so we need three

You are aware that this isn't a Lego Space shuttle ?

Re: Tell me, Ted...

>preparation/reinstatement to a suitable waterside

I read that as waterslide.

Hoisting the shuttle to a canal on the top of a hill, putting it on an inner tube and ride it down to the Gulf of Cuba might be fun

Re: Barge?

The core of engineers & Navy might be able do it

Re: Risks?

>borrow cousin Billy-Bob's pick-up and load it on the back

Not possible, it's a simple matter of towing capacities.

An F150 cannot lift a 75ton Space Shuttle

You would need 2 pickup trucks carrying it on a line

That guy in the AfrikaKorp who chose "HIT"+"LER" as the two 3 letter enigma code groups every day was a great patriotic soldier

Re: The actual point gets buried in a tide of anti-republican bullshit

> the mighty Russian army, second in the world, armed to the teeth with a modern airforce and oodles of tanks is... still flailing around

Well their mistake is that they concentrate too much on advanced logistics and highly-professional highly-trained experts instead of having savage grunt war-fighters with huge biceps
