They are not comparing it to the data issue. The original issue was lead to further conversation. It’s a valid concern and they make a good point.

For anyone who hasn’t read it yet, you should know that the author never answers that question.

Who are the main players that make or benefit from these inflated DRAM prices?


Make? The market of course.

Benefit? The manufacturers of course.


Yes - for those coming from USA. Most colleges in EU are part of the US student loan program, through Netherlands appears to be dropping it


Yeah, raise your base price too imho. At least $5


Will do, had to make it interesting for launch :)


No. Ad blocking is NOT piracy. It’s really that simple.


The full headline is amazing: "OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates"


…and this, and similar stories, continues to be why I will never trust or own an Android phone.


That's backwards. When data centers evaporate water for cooling, it becomes vapor that blows away to fall as rain somewhere else then it's gone from the local area or its discharged a waste water. Farm water mostly stays put but plants release it back into the local air, excess irrigation soaks into local groundwater, and only a fraction leaves in the harvested crops.

Farmers can reuse the same local water year after year. Data centers need fresh water constantly because their evaporated water doesn't come back.


The datacenters ARE consuming the water as part of their operation.
