Except this time the Unix-like took 100% of the market
Was too clear this thing is just better
Yes, because at the same time they offer a better business environment. US, for example, can do pretty much anything, being de facto commercial center of the world, with highest scale operations historically based there and interconnected to the point they can't just "leave".
Should you run this "experiment" in aforementioned Venezuela instead, you're unlikely to enjoy the result. Although it wouldn't benefit the US in the long run either.
Makes sense. But does it really negate the elevated construction costs? I must assume such a station is significantly more expensive to build
As a microbiologist, I get to work with such freezers from time to time - they, too, get used for long-term storage. Technically, at around +4°C most organisms (but not all) put their activity to a halt, which is why your fridge is set at that, and at around -18°C just about everything stops any processes (thereby, freezer temperature), but the thing is, freezing at -18°C leads to the formation of relatively large ice crystals, which causes many cells to rip and die, which is perfectly fine if you want to preserve food (except cells in food also rip and unfrozen products are not quite like the original), but not optimal if you want to store cells themselves. If you freeze at -80°C and lower, smaller ice particles end up not damaging the organisms so much, and they can later be restored. However, such fridges are expensive and draw, like, A LOT of power, and storing much stuff under such conditions gets costly.
Nowhere near as costly as the offerings are, though.
You sure tapped into a particular frustration of mine :D
Why building solar farm offshore?
I understand why wind farms are built that way, but solar?
WoW has already done something similar in Warlords of Draenor, iirc, when you could make and develop your outpost, but wasn't it considered to be mostly a failure because players were there and so common locations were more empty?
Thanks! Learning more every day
Also, beautiful design, and probably not bad for a touchscreen (terrible for mouse though)
Happy to see Foundation fans around :D
Seconding "Foundation" soooooo much. One of my teen favorites. Also full of references to other Asimov's books, so many will get much more familiar after reading this.
Ironically, even Microsoft uses Linux in its Azure datacenters, iirc
