Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Unlike a bunker, a datacenter's ventilation consists of [DATA EXPUNGED] which are out of reach. The [DATA EXPUNGED] are heavily [DATA EXPUNGED], so [DATA EXPUNGED] unlikely to work either. However, this ventilation must be [DATA EXPUNGED] in order to effectively [DATA EXPUNGED], and that's done by [DATA EXPUNGED] into the [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED] to prevent [DATA EXPUNGED].

Edit: making the joke funnier.

politely: while I understand the impulse behind this discursive angle, it's probably not the greatest idea to have it here

Yeah, I was just trying to make a joke about how explosives are overkill (and point out that the billionare bunkers are prob not as secure as they would hope (still mad about them building bunkers instead of you know doing anything positive)), not really trying to make a real plan to stop them.

And tbh, we know what to do with malicious datacenters, esp if they are in bunkers, the Dutch/German police has gone after a few of them. The trick is to wait till their MDMA lab catches fire, and then you arrest them.
