  • Housing prices are based on comparable homes sold in the area, so what are you guys talking about?

    we are talking about the fact that if you have trouble selling the house, then it is literally the market, who told you that your “market” valuation is clearly wrong.

    You’re implying that any home on the market is priced too high simply because it’s on the market.

    of course i am not. you should have learned what hyperbole is sometime in elementary school.

    the statement is not valid for every house that is on the market for 5 minutes. it is however perfectly valid for most of what is on the market longer than w/e is the average for that market. maybe you have something truly unique and you have to wait for your customer, or maybe you have inflated sense of the value of the object you are trying to sell, be it a house or used car.














  • yes. not entirely impossible, but highly impractical in the context of “datacenter in space”.

    releasing heat in space is quite tricky, since radiating it into vacuum is not very effective and datacenter generates enormous amount of it. it is basically heat factory.

    i am imagining some borg cube datacenter surrounded by field of heat radiators god knows how long, some sort of datacenter-space-urchin.

    might look cool as an illustration in scifi story, but that is where it will stay for a long time.




  • The concept is laughably absurd, because these things are basically impossible for “data center in space”:

    • data uplink of reasonable throughput
    • power supply
    • cooling

    And even if all these problems vanished, getting anything on the orbit is pretty fucking expensive.

    Data center needs daily maintenance.

    What would even be point of this silly idea? Unless you are talking about some kind of doomsday data vault, it doesn’t make sense at all.
