Microsoft takes liquid cooling to another level

It will be the Stonehenge of the far future.

>oceans are heating up
>drive to work in an electric car
>dump a boiling data centre into the sea
Thank god for Silicon Valley lads

Absolutely this. Retarded millenials never consider the side effects of their poor choices. Lumping CompSci with other stem disciplines was a mistake.

>go fast and break things

>Microsoft directly warms up the ocean and kills more polar bears
This oughta be good.

This is actually more heat-efficient way if cooling it. A refrigerator draws heat and expels it into the environment, additionally it consumes running energy and releases it as heat. Simply submerging heat source in water achieves same result but with less environment heating. In any case it's all about efficiency - better efficiency means less heat output into the planet.

And when it breaks it will be abandoned at the bottom of the ocean, eventually leaking toxic chemicals into the environment. As long as its efficient though.

What the fuck do you think this has to do with computer science

What toxic materials? Trace amounts of thermal paste and fan lubricant? A running sea vessel produces more pollution continuously.

The planet isn't heating up because we're outputting direct heat into it.
In 2 hours, as much energy hits the earth from the sun as the world uses in an entire year.

The planet is heating because we're loading the atmosphere with greenhouse gases that trap the sun's heat. It doesn't radiate back into space at night as much as it used to, so temperatures will rise until they hit a new equilibrium.

Shit like lead, beryllium, and mercury are common in computer components.
What will probably happen is when these computer subs break, they'll just be left at the bottom of the ocean, where water will leak into them and they'll contaminate the ocean with the aforementioned materials.

> oh wow did they fill the tank with liquid N2
> ...

Sounds cool desu

What happens when some asshole dives in the area and breaks it? Won't a single leak destroy it?

>he thinks the ocean has limitless cooling capacity
>he thinks the ocean isn't a closed system

This has more to do with the impact of the oceans. Warmer waters do a lot more to impact sea vegetable growth which in turn effects the oxygen content which in turn ends up killing off a lot of the food we eat. Just look at the mouths of every major polluted river on earth

You're right I expected people who worked at Microsoft to at least have a grasp of natural systems before playing god and creating their own.

Looks like the Shrimp from castle bravo

I love how people buying electric cars think they're saving the environment when it's just as if not more destructive than gas engine cars thanks to their fuckhuge batteries. Portable nuclear engines when?

Looks like the Shrimp from castle bravo, probably has the same effects as well

>i've never read an LCIA and thought about renewable sources

Microsoft's computer pods will have a negligible effect on water temperature. The water might be a fraction of a degree warmer around the pod, but it just doesn't produce enough heat to meaningfully affect any body of water.

What the inside filled with if they removed oxygen, plain nitrogen or helium?

i guees the main point is, police will have a hard time getting physical access to the servers

Hydrogen

Do you really think this will have any noticeable effect on ocean temperatures?

Can you please stop posting about things you simply do not understand?

Nope, but until the entire world is run on nuclear, because let's face it other renewable sources aren't going to take over, the amount of energy needed to power these cars is more detrimental than a gas engine still

It will if it 'works' and other tech companies do it too.

There are many arguments to be made against electric cars, and that's not one of them.

Even if all of its power comes from a coal plant, it still is less harmful per KW/h than an oil-burning engine.
Power plants have all sorts of emissions controls, and operate at peak efficiency 24/7. An oil burning engine simply can't produce as clean of exhaust, and is not efficient at all since it is variable speed.

What the fuck does isis have to do with it?

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you...

stupid publicity stunt

World electrical generation in 2014 was 23,816 TWh, or 85737600 Tj. It takes 4.187 joules to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree. There are 1.4*10^24 grams of water in the ocean.
Even if you dumped all of that energy directly into the ocean, it would take 70 thousand years to increase the temperature by a single degree. The total electrical consumption of all data centers is only a tiny fraction of this though, and the power consumed by a single one of these pods is basically nothing.

Sorry but it's too late for soviet cyber punk future.

Don't be a fool, the frozen Arctic has been on it's way out since the lifting of the last ice age.

was this intentional cringe or are you not self-aware

The ocean is a living organism with mechanisms besides temperature that are necessary for other life to survive and thrive. I love how global warming tards only consider temperature as if humans are the only creatures on earth that matter when we only exist at all as a consequence of an ecological system that relies on natural rudimentary events that we all take for granted and most don't understand.

A fully developed brain should be required to post here

Cars have emission controls as well, harsher each year.

Coal power plants do not operate at peak efficiency all the time, since they need to follow the demand curve with their supply, and because of the scale, technology and economics, they can't instantly increase or decrease the supply to match the demand exactly.

There is a reason why they sell energy cheaply/below the "manufacturing" cost at night. All that is not sold, is wasted.

>An oil burning engine simply can't produce as clean of exhaust, and is not efficient at all since it is variable speed.

The main issue of it is actually that it needs to burn fuel constantly, even when the car isn't moving, which does add up over time. There are crude fixes for it, like the start/stop system, but they put a big strain on the engine (it's getting ignited many times more a day than it normally would) and people usually turn them off cause nowadays you still want to run a lot of stuff when the car isn't moving (AC, radio, lights) and if your engine is off atm, it all goes from your battery (using it up a lot faster).

Also, this is all ignoring the energy lost on transferring the power to a charging station, then more losses when charging is being done and finally whatever losses the car it self will generate when taking the stored energy from the cells.

Is there finally any believable research comparing how much fossil fuel does it take to run a normal car and how much waste it generates with the amount of fossil fuel and waste it takes to run a comparable electric car, taking all the above issues into account?

Then there's also stuff like the replacement batteries and their recycling/trashing to consider and the road/environment damage resulting from electric cars being heavier in general, if you want to talk about them being better for the environment.
