I wonder - to grow, say, 15% per month people have to pay the founder specific money for the product. Why exactly they pay that amount, and not less, say? Is it because they want founder to become a billionaire? The growth is measured in money, not product/service transactions.
How much water is contained inside the datacenter at any given moment? That's how much water is taken from circulation by this datacenter. Is it enough to worry?
There is also buffer for clean water required - Y gallons on-hand at the datacenter. You can see the other replies in this parent comment demonstrating the tight ongoing humidity requirements, and how clean water is sprayed onto the actual hardware to cool it off, and more. Evidently this can't be done by setting up a giant funnel above the datacenter to collect rainwater.
Given those considerations I expect Y to be pretty large.
This isn’t an “opinion.” It’s how almost everyone thinks the constitution works, including people who think modern administrative agencies are permissible. They don’t deny the tripartite structure is binding; they think that executive agencies exercising quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative functions can be defended as really being an exercise of executive discretion.
Why this suddenly becomes urgent? For long time we had automatic emails with "thank you" which weren't written by humans, why something is different today?
And the 1961 fire that killed cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko in an altitude chamber. The Soviets covered it up until the 1980's, so NASA made the same mistake.
For every human onboard ISS there is always place in the docked spaceship. Exceptions: when spaceships break, replacements are usually sent - like, when Soyuz lost coolant or Starliner was considered too unreliable. While waiting for replacements, those ploblematic spacecrafts still serve as lifeboats, except maybe Crew Dragons can carry more people than those 4 they usually carry...
Crew Dragon can do 7 astronauts, but NASA only wanted SpaceX to build it for 4.
The contingency for the Starliner astronauts in case of an emergency was to strap them down in the cargo area. Which wouldnt be optimal, but better than certain/likely death onboard the ISS.
Telll it to my friend who was escaping a country under sanctions and had to move his money elsewhere. His bank didn't have that miraculous power, but Bitcoin did.
- US Dollar: Backed by the US government, which has a monopoly on violence over its citizens and pretty much the entire world. The Federal Reserve has the ability to print new dollars as demanded by US government policies and is responsible for funding the endless conflicts that the US has been involved in overseas for the last 100 years. The inflation of the US dollar cripples the middle class and weights down future generations with debt that they will never be able to pay off.
- Bitcoin: 100% free of any kind of force, created by an individual who believed individuals should have sovereign control of their money and is 100%. Due to the limited supply cap it makes wars unfundable and actually increases in value as the years go on so you can pass it on to your children and their children.
Even as someone who thinks crypto is an absolute cesspool, and while acknowledging that even in the "move cash" scenario that the vast majority of it is shady, from avoiding taxes to ... whatever, to be honest, I can't get too mad if it helps the "average person" who is sincerely escaping a "problematic" country/home do so.
> Value can only teleport if someone is willing to trade traditional currency in exchange on the other side.
If no one paid traditional money to your friend on the other side, he’d have no money. Also, whoever was sanctioning the country, can also very well sanction and seize the bitcoin if they’d like.
