The Knowledge / Re: Tyre width

Were we wrong in the 1980s to assume 18mm tyres would be faster than wider ones?

Not necessarily wrong, but the differences between tyres are so small (especially on overall speed) that one may believe whatever fanciful bollocks one likes about why one’s own choice is the best.

That just isn't true.

Presumably the only reason that datacentres are evaporating water rather than using a closed-loop cooling method (ie. radiator and a big fan) is economics?  This would seem eminently fixable with regulation.

Big fin-fan coolers are often used in the gas industry post compression. The forced draft cooling tower, big fan, evaporate a small portion of the water is much more space efficient, and with the evaporative cooling likely to be a lot more energy efficient as well.

Of all the places to build a data centre, Phoenix would be somewhere close to the bottom of the list; it’s bastard hot, rarely rains and has a river with no water.  In it.  What’s wrong with Seattle, or Bergen?

Nothing at all, and I bet there a few there as well.

Ireland is littered with them for example, but has the problem of insufficient electrical grid so put a temporary moratorium in place

Yes. But then the energy costs go up. So you need a load more wind turbines to keep the DC running on renewables.
