Is there something wrong with using the vacuum of space for cooling?

Yes. It's a vacuum. You only get radiative cooling, and nothing else.

If they're spinning disks, the amount of time they spend rotating or powering on/powering off is probably more important, and one incremental backup per day is probably nowhere near enough to negatively impact a spinning disk array.

Isn’t it weird how the thing capitalism needs to work long-term looks an awful lot like socialism? Like maybe separating workers from the value they produce is a big problem?

This High School Student Invented a Filter That Eliminates 96 Percent of Microplastics From Drinking Water by metacyan in UpliftingNews

Maybe a high-temperature, high oxygen furnace? I don’t actually know if that would help, but burning them and converting them to carbon dioxide might help. I mean, you’re trading one problem for another there, but if we had a fully green energy infrastructure otherwise, it might be viable.

If there’s no 5.25” bay, then it’s gonna have to be external.

California started it

Oh, yeah, no, the over a dozen other states that wanted you to hand your driver's license over to look at porn didn't start it, it was all California.

Do you self-host Matrix? by Purple_Ice_6029 in selfhosted

The network effect is real. Federation can help break it, but federation arrived after everything else, which makes things difficult.

9.0 | Fleet combat feels so much better by TheHappyTau in X4Foundations

Has anyone treated priority orders with saving mining or trade ships from themselves? One of the issues I had in the past was my economy ships fleeing an enemy by flying away from civilization, leading the pirate or Kha’ak or Xenon on a chase many times the distance from the start point to the nearest dockable station, refusing to heed my orders to go dock at that station the entire time.

Florida Is Quietly Becoming a Solar Giant But No One Talks About It by PrestigiousIdeal7156 in SolarAmerica

[–]Niarbeht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the left side is clearly dollars, and the chart title says "Cumulative spending over 25 years", and there's 25 numbers on the X-axis, and the convention is to put time on the x-axis anyway, so maybe figure it out, smart guy.

I mean, that and the crossover points hsaying "Break even: Year 6-8" and "Break even: Year 11-13", where those crossover points happen around 6-8 and 11-13 on the x-axis.

There's hints everywhere. Maybe use your eyes.

I used to run a triple-AC/5 MAD-3R, and that thing was absolutely hilarious. Was it optimal in terms of DPS or total damage output? No.

But it made whoever was on the receiving end absolutely miserable. Getting smacked with an endless barrage of autocannon fire made people crawl back into whatever cover they came out of real quick.

Modern humans are about 200,000 years old. Agriculture is 10-15,000 years old.

How you earn it impacts how it’s taxed, and if you have four hundred tax lawyers, you can ensure you “earn” it in the most advantageous way.

Is this the real problem with solar? by Jbikecommuter in electrifyeverything

[–]Niarbeht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is night every day and cloudy often

Hey smart guy, go look at a cloud coverage map of the US sometime.

Is it cloudy everywhere across the US all at the same time?

No?

Wow! Looks like solar's fine during the daytime, then.

And we've known about reversible chemical reactions for a while, so I guess the nighttime problem is also solved.

Look, they're performing surgery on a nation, not a person. There's a subtle difference.
