  1. Re:What a fucking waste of time! on Community Ports 'Visual Studio Code' To Chromebooks, Raspberry Pi (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    yeah, sure, people porting projects to other architectures is a newfangled trend and must die. except it isn't, but you don't care, right?

  2. Not that fast. on Big Banks Will Fall First To AI, China's Most Famous VC Predicts (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually that could happen, but it won't because banks lobby the hell out of the governments to protect them against every and any competition (see the brazilian Nubank https://techcrunch.com/2016/12... )

  4. Re:Heat on Architects Design a 65-Story Data Center (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    You'd better build the power plant next door. Imagine the energy that thing would consume.

    The Empire State Building uses about 9-10 megawatts peak, and that's filled mostly with people and offices, not high-density servers.

    I know no one reads TFA and I'm 5 days later, but: "The data center was created with Iceland in mind, which gives it potential for use by both U.S. and European companies. It can be powered by hydropower and geothermal energy, and Iceland's proximity to the Arctic Circle means natural cooling will play a big role."

    Microsoft said that the WordPad converter bug requires some help from the user, who must be tricked into actually opening a malicious file -- most likely delivered as an e-mail attachment.
