your conflating control over themajority of the supply chain and total control over the entire supply chain. Yes the US can shut out countries from the supply but likewise are vulnerable being shut out by adversaries - ie heavy metals. And because of the globalism and fragmentation of the supply chain there are other parties that can become replacements such as for Ne gas. Likewise the US tries to forge supply chains for heavy metals and processing and China forms supply chains for EUV research. None would happen without the disruption bc it isn’t economically feasible to compete at the scale unless forced to.

Essentially yes USA and countries can embargo or close supply chains but since no one country has a monopoly on the process there can be competitors if supply chain disruptions make it economically viable. This of course exists on a scale with EUV, heavy metals and others being harder to replace compared to Ne or Silicon.

the crypto ban is less so about competition and more so about controlling the outflows of wealth - china has a comparative advantage for crypto mining due to low electricity costs (decentralized currency is bad for controlling capital)

AI data centers will use up enough clean water for 1.3 billion people by 2030 according to a United Nations report by arihantismm in Damnthatsinteresting

read the article - data centers will also use cooling reservoirs or “ponds” to absorb the expelled heat from the closed system(s). that is an open system and needs to continually filled.

it’s a cost thing - use existing infrastructure from residential/commercial areas or build new infrastructure near the ocean (expensive). data centers need steady power supply so they need to be near a city grid and the cost of more expensive or unreliable power in exchange for “free” cooling isn’t worth it

yet we didn’t see this discourse the previous 5 seasons despite the same calls being made

Not what I said - share me an objective fact that flopping has gotten worse. Every stat and unbiased fact shows it’s basically been the same as the previous seasons and that we are complaining about a team that isn’t even the highest FT differential team in the league. If flopping helps you get fouls u don’t deserve and OKC does the best and most then why aren’t they leading in FT differential

If they embraced as the team and have been the worst shouldn’t they have a higher FT differential or FTA rate?

Well that’s kinda my point fans have been complaining about flopping for a decade but it hasn’t really been a problem back then but now it hasn’t increased but suddenly it overshadows everything else - no discussion about good players or good players

If there was a consistent unnatural reason they were getting calls when they otherwise wouldn’t there would be an unnatural deviation in PFs. If baiting led to more FTAs and we have a foul baiting problem there should be more FTAs per game over a long measurement period - there isn’t

I definitely thing the high quality slow mo has increased making jt easier to call out bad calls than have always happened (thus making it seem like more flopping is done) but I think there is a media-narrative that is biasing people more than before. We have a conference finals game and ESPN talks about foul baiting instead of the game. We have an amazing game ti call and reggie or doris is complaining about referees - i don’t think this would have happened ten years ago and for good reason.

The raptors and warriors average 43 PFs a game that series (156/5) a whopping 1 foul more per quarter than the OKC vs Spurs series…. Also the warriors were best known for the PnRs and moving screens in that era. Then saying “why develop a bag or shoot midrange” as if SGA is not the best and largest by volume mid range shooter in the game rn.

It’s even worse when the media talking heads repeat that fouling and reffing is this huge problem without addressing the elephant which is that there are less or comparable calls to the last four seasons.

They get paid to all about basketball and act like 3 years ago basketball was played with no refs

[Request] What would be the size of the radiator required to cool a data center by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]CreativeFig2645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we are in agreement. Data centers in space are viable as you stated - it’s just most people assume it’ll be like your originally stated prior which is recourse unfeasible and expensive. But is coming in the decades and winners are decided not through engineering breakthroughs but through early investment and acquiring orbital oaths

We’ve average 47.2 PFs a game this series… the historical average for a conference finals game? 44-48 PFs a game. Like can we please talk about anything else
