According to this post, the datacenter people are hauling 55 gallon drums up 17 flights of stairs. Diesel is ~7 pounds/gallon so a 55 gallon drum is ~385 pounds

According to this post, the datacenter people are hauling 55 gallon drums up 17 flights of stairs. Diesel is ~7 pounds/gallon so a 55 gallon drum is ~385 pounds not including the container. Ouch.
- ry0ohki 14y agoThat's an insane real world human effort so that geeks can move bits around a screen!

- spolsky 14y agoLast we heard it's a bucket brigade doing 5 gallons at a time. Fog Creek president Michael Pryor is participating but mostly it seems to be the crew from Peer 1 networks doing the hard work, we don't want to take too much credit.
