MRC48B posted:In this case "Uses water" it means they use water in evaporation cooling towers, which take expensive treated water and send it to the atmosphere to remove heat. ehh most big heat exchangers are not evaporative cooling towers. most pull from a water source and discharge back into the same water source with thermal pollution. some portion is going to be evaporative, it really depends physically what is present at the actual location. if they are using mostly evaporative cooling, that’s pretty funny in a crack ping way.

That's why they work to undercut taxis to run them out of business even if uber is bleeding money constantly (and why they keep getting vc money). Google "Uber Health" so see where they want to go

Desalination is cheap enough to let datacenters buy unlimited water. 450,000 gallons can be produced for less than $2000. It all comes down to proper supply management. Edit: $1 can buy 1 ton of desalinated water, which can absorb the heat from 600 kWh of power. Dylan16807 has issued a correction as of 01:51 on Dec 4, 2023 |

I’m not being glib with that response. basically the big heat exchangers alter the aquatic environment where the heat comes out. how one sees that answers that question. The delta the degrees change temperature matters too. tokin opposition posted:i know why they don't but a part of me still thinks all evaporative cooling should be using salt water and reclaiming the steam for fresh water. salt is bad sure but there's gotta be a better way many evaporators operate under a vacuum and also generate brine, brine can be really nasty depending on what was in the source water. MRC48B posted:enjoy your pills. the little mini transformers I see in transit for the bit coin mining make me swear a bit every time. I suppose I should have know the towers on flats were just as bad. now I’m looking at sat images of big data centers and making the engineer inside myself angry.

Yet. Bar Ran Dun posted:is warm water pollution?

The delta the degrees change temperature matters too Yes. If you significantly change the temp ranges of a natural body of water you gently caress up the breeding cycles of many organisms, which fail cascades the eco system.

Some long while back I read a thoughtful article that coined the term "ghostmodernism" for describing the state of interactions online, i.e. when you're commenting on something someone posted online, you're not really communicating with them, you're just communicating with a trace of who they were at some point in the past - the real them is already gone. We're now moving to an even dumber and more disconnected form of the internet where we'll be interacting with mirages of things and people that weren't even real in the first place. I don't have a witty term for it or anything, it's just gonna suck poo poo
