Alas, the author failed to do adequate research before getting on their high horse.
Yes, cloud computing sucks power (which is then vented to the outside world, it could be recycled _and_ cut latency)
but you know what pushes out more CO2?
Poor house insulation.
- vertis 7y agoThis is what this article says to me. A poorly researched piece. I'm not unsympathetic to the need to run computing from renewable energy, but this article seems like a stretch, especially when it tries to link in government surveillance, etc.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y ago> Poor house insulation And you know what emits more CO_2 than poor insulation? Transport! And what emits more CO_2 than transport? China! With that logic, we'll never cut emissions anywhere.
- KaiserPro 7y agoSo you're saying that insulation, which makes an occupant more comfortable, and spending less money on energy, is going to be more popular than taking away all computing and plunging everyone into the 1950s? gotcha.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y agoNo, I'm not saying that, evidenced by the fact that I didn't say that, and that saying that would be stupid.
