25s on my machine vs 12s across 16 machines and a load of bandwidth flying round the internet. Not ethically worth it.

- jasonzemos 13y agoSo a more than doubling of performance is unethical because the internet is being used for its intended purpose? Can you elaborate on this criticism? I'm assuming your threshold for "ethical" is perhaps 10x?
- nacs 13y agoThat's quite the condescending comment. The 'ethical' part is likely referring to using visitors' browsers/CPUs to do your compute work without getting consent. Parent post also mentioned the bandwidth usage is high so you're not only using the CPU but using up a visitor's bandwidth (many of whom have low monthly limits).
