The proof is in the pudding. The creation is the proof. Even Moon does not have life... Even though it has the right distance from the sun and what not...


There's no single "right distance from the sun" - areas of Mars have temperature ranges acceptable for some Earth bacteria, Europa likely has liquid seas, etc., and Earth-style life isn't the only option - and the Moon is inhospitable in a variety of other ways.

We also can't completely discount life on the Moon having briefly explored a couple acres of it, largely on foot.


Not clear to me what you're trying to show by indicating the moon has no life.


>Even Moon does not have life...

*That we know of.


MSG it such a shame it's found everywhere.

IT'S A health hazard.


Your comment is a health hazard. Monsodium glutamate is simply the salt form of the glutamate amino acid (Glu), an amino acid found in virtually every protein or meat that you eat.


MSG is not a health hazard. That’s a myth unfounded by science, often associated with the placebo “Chinese restaurant syndrome”. MSG occurs naturally in all sorts of things, seaweed, celery, meats, etc.


Is it really? Most of the things I’ve read say that there isn’t any evidence showing it causes long-lasting problems. Are there studies that show consumption (not injections) of MSG cause health issues beyond what sodium causes?


That’s untrue. It’s safe and delicious.


Feels like modern day complicated depressing slavery


Data security?


Encrypted at rest filesystem, and fiber-backed video recording of everyone who steps inside the fence.


Lest we forget the warning that was Cloudbleed [0].

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudbleed


It's a data center; why would it have different security properties than any colo facility?


Because you're stepping down on the spectrum of "vault with a mantrap, several factors of authentication and 24/7 posted security" down toward "fence and a padlock"?


How many datacenters have you been in?


I do agree they are usually far from "Mission:Impossible" style security that OP seems to have in mind.

To be fair to OP, average regional DCs have better security than cell towers.


How many examples of the extreme ends of a spectrum have you heard? Of course not everyone is Iron Mountain.


It’s a prefab shed with a broadcast tower and an 8-12ft fence and a commercial grade door. Not a meaningful challenge to access. There are exceptions — a few AT&T long lines facilities are towers now, but that is truly an exception.


I thought it was a new gen bike


doug demuro if you like cars on youtube is funny and informative.


Aren't Damascus blades originally an Indian invention?


The 'wootz' style Damascus is; Europeans didn't know it originally came from Southern India because it came through traders in Damascus.

The 'pattern-welded' Damascus is known from Europe (maybe as an attempt to replicate the 'wootz' style Damascus?) But it exists elsewhere as well.


No the steel material was dug up in India, but it was Middle Eastern blacksmiths that made it what it was.


These rocks are present in India too
