<p>We’re currently planning on a datacenter to give its heat to the municipal district heating. That combines your idea to use the heat loss for heating the people’s living space with the needs of a data center like access control, redundancies, interconnections.</p>

<p>Regarding the last few sentences about the speedtest, Fibre doesn’t degrade in a way that you get 30 to 40% line speed. DSL did that, fibre doesn’t.<p>Speedtests for 10G are complicated and will show low numbers because of all the different TCP parameters and schedulers. Sometimes because peering links of your ISP or the speedtest providers are saturated.</p>

<p>When you're chosing to egress because the plane stops to know where it is or where it isn't, would you want it to decide how fast to eject? Chances are that the ejection system won't get reliable data to decide on in these situations.</p>

<p>So, you don't want to have "the world" own shares of american companies?<p>Okay, let europe just sell all their stocks and ETF. But also, let them build alternatives to all american products. Let them keep the money they are spending for their Windows and Office licenses, their Netflix and Disney plans. Let them no longer create ad revenues on youtube. Let them buy korean Samsung phones instead of american iPhones.<p>Would that be a good deal for the american people?</p>

<p>I don‘t like how they mix up different ideas:<p>1) having liquid instead of air as the first heat transporting medium
2) having water evaporation chillers instead of air heat exchangers and maybe heat pumps to chill the (last) heat transportation medium.</p>

<p>Pretty cool UX, however it seems to follow the approach to overwrite data once or multiple times.<p>As far as legends on the high magic of contemporary flash memory goes, you would want to simply tell your SSD/NVMe to secure erase the drive instead of writing data yourself. ShredOS doesn‘t seem to implement this.</p>

b) If I take reasonable date formats, it's date 2024-03-14 = 2007 today<p>But kudos for only taking the first three digits, 3.14, as approximation for pi, which is in nearly all cases enough. Some friends in automotive engineering even tried using pi = 3 and 2*pi = 7 for a while, and the results were good enough.</p>
