Eat shit, Kevin.
Fuck you O’Leary.
I still haven’t forgiven him for The Learning Company and Brøderbund.
He really pumped and dumped Softkey/TLC on Mattel. From $4.2B in 1999 to selling the whole thing off for $27.3M in 2000. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another one of his “ride the valuation wave” schemes.
He has a perfect record of losing investor money. His O’Leary fund underperformed for years before it was sold off and shut down. He’s a nothing burger.
Don’t ask what a data center can do for you, ask what YOU can to for a data center
How much land could the public possibly need? You already have one Manhattan!
Utah doesn’t, though, and that’s where he’s proposing building it.
I’m actually slightly surprised that there’s still any part of Utah and non-Vegas Nevada NOT owned by the Mormon church left tbh…
Utah is actually majority owned by the us govt.
Utah has lost more than you think, they just have the whole system rigged to their advantage and a good chunk of the populace willing to do anything for them. I wish they all realized how much these Christians in this movement hate them though. If they actually were to succeed in bringing themselves of any other targets they would go after Mormons instantly
For anyone curious, Manhattan is just under 23 square miles (59 square kilometers)
Which is roughly
10971 football fields
3933333 parking spots
14640199 king size beds
5624404194 iPhone 12s or
7994579946 chocolate bars
#AnythingButMetric #Im32DonutsTall
Roughly 1 Bermuda
This is America, how many burgers?
Between two and three trillion.
Are we talking regular parking spots, or Costco parking spots? And what kind of chocolate bars?
Regular and Almond Joy.
The biggest standard rack I could find has the dimensions of 19 inches wide, 90 inches tall, 47.2 inches deep. Height isn’t super important for floor usage, so a rack takes up 896.8 square inches or 74.73 square feet. A 4U server chassis holds roughly 10 drives, and can fit 12 chasses in a 48U rack.
This datacenter can hold a maximum of 8,580,264 racks holding 1,029,631,680 drives. Assuming 4TiB drives, that’s a total of 3.84 Zebibytes of data. The entirety of the Internet has roughly 148.23 Zebibytes.
This new, smaller datacenter will hold approximately 2.56% of all the data in the world.
There are 4U server cases that hold 77 3.5” hard drives, and you could rig up empty cases with NAND of various forms and get even more density, if you could keep cooling under control.
Also, most datacenters will not use 4TB disks, you would use giant 20TB enterprise disks (for spinning rust) or 8TB enterprise SAS or nVME drives. You will lose some of that capacity to redundancy though, as RAID and region replication takes place.
So total capacity, minus disk first losses (so *0.85 as a rule of thumb) and then divide by the redundancy (probably / 3)
Realistically there’s going to be a mixture of cpu compute, gpu compute, storage, and general purpose. I feel like 10 drives per chassis is a decent average, and I intentionally used 4TiB to illustrate this truly absurd proposal.
I dont want to be that guy but 896.8 square inches is actually 6.22 square feet
No you’re totally right, I didn’t do math correctly. It’s way bigger
As a Canadian, I’m sorry for this cuntholio.
We need to stop giving this cunt attention or reaction. Let him fade away in a bucket of piss.
Actually, that’s a good idea - could someone please dissolve Kevin in a bucket of acid and then add piss to it. Thanks.
Live in the data center you fucking cock
One of the most obnoxious, punch-worthy pieces of human filth alive on the planet today. And that’s really saying something cuz he’s got some serious competition.
They shouldn’t even be letting him breath. The debate should be do billionaires deserve to live. Fuck their data centers. Exterminate the enemy.
Kevin, if you shrank it to 90% the size of a normal penis you would have just enough room in your underwear for it.
Utah is under a severe drought and is currently on fire. But yeah sure, let’s build a data center the size of manhattan that will use as much water and electricity as the whole fucking state.
I’m gna laugh when these data centers get taken out by fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Because, you know, data centers are basically indestructible.
If the US had a long term vision and totally embraced renewable energy, it wouldn’t have this problem.
It’d be better, but selling that much land for this bullshit is still unconscionable.
I hope he loses his wealth for this.
Sure, but he wont. That’s not how money works for these people.
We measuring land area in “Manhattans” now?
Anything but metric!
How many Mahattens to one Wales?
~0.36
That seems wrong to me. Manhattan is 0.28% the size of Wales.
Not according to Wikipedia 🤷♂️
