Agreed, golf courses and data centers need to be regulated and limited. Though data centers seem to use much more water per acre than golf courses. The number I pulled in the original post was global golf course water consumption not just t

Yes golf courses use an absurd amount of water. About 2.5b/day. Data centers are about 450m/day so about a fifth of that. But golf courses are about 2.1 to 2.2 million acres while data centers are between between 340,000 and 840,0

It is absolutely not a canard. The vast majority of data centers use evaporative cooling which is in fact a major consumer of water. The industry is pushing a line about little to no use of water based on the "existence" of closed

Data centers are massive consumers of water. There are closed loop designs that technically use less water but they: A) Make up less than 10% of data centers; B) Cost much more upfront; C) Require massive investment in waste water treatment

For group calls you just need 1.0 Mbps. If you want 1080p group calls you need 3.8 Mbps. Zoom itself says for a "reliable WFH setup" you should have "at least 25 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload" I've gotten by on Mc

In many frameworks the tests are referred to as the "spec". I guess that's where my confusion arises from. > SDD starts before implementation No different from TDD.
