Could we put underwater data centers there to reheat the waters?
- fooqux 4mo agoProbably makes more sense than putting them in a friggen vacuum.
- Avicebron 4mo agoah the "boil the oceans" strat. Interesting play.
- deadbabe 4mo agoI don’t think we could boil the oceans or even affect their temperature much even if we put every data center on Earth into the oceans and multiplied their amount by 10. Earth is really, really big.
- hurtigioll 4mo agois fascinating that a software developer can have such a lack of awareness of the relative size of things
- usrnm 4mo agoWhy? Software developers aren't some superhumans, we're generally very bad at things outside our immediate area of expertise. Just like everyone else
- xantronix 4mo agoWould you work in such a facility?
- Avamander 4mo agoNo. AMOC is petawatt-scale, nine orders of magnitude beyond our reach.
- jbxntuehineoh 4mo agohmmmm the tsar bomba was ~200 PJ, so obviously the answer is to nuke the ocean every few minutes
