Yep, it's strictly for people who don't mind being way past the inflection point of the price/performance curve.

It's because they are using electronic to their full power 24/7 and not only the individual unit need to be fed power, some of it will be wasted and become heat so they need intricate cooling system. So it need power not only for the unit themselves but also for the A/C system to make sure they won't overheat and keep the humidity down.

You can do 100% outside air cooling in a lot of climates. No individual server matters that much in this case so the slight uptick in failure rate from operating outside ASHRAE TC 9.9 recommendations is well worth the energy savings.

Yeah, it's like credit card rewards in that if you can manage yourself well you can come out ahead, but the vast majority of people don't and they're the ones who end up paying.

sorta like buttcoins :buddy: the house always wins and loves to promote all the other people who win big so that endless suckers buy in

My dad has the same first and last name as a high rolling whale at this one casino so he's been getting free hotel rooms whenever he's in the area. That's the way to do it.
