Comment on Datacenters are becoming a target in warfare for the first time

What? Building data centers in a region known for a constant lack of regional stability in order to take advantage of cheap land and labor isn’t working out???
And those are cheap because law enforcement isn’t so well spent on at all, that is, spending is mostly on secret police, riot police and khashoggizers.
Anyway. Building data centers in an area with hot climate is what seems weirdest. And seawater is not very good for cooling.
It makes sense in this region. You have cheap fossil fuels, you have a lot of sun for solar, and Qatar and Dubai and also Saudi Arabia are economic powerhouses with a lot of companies, tourists and so on, so you will of course need a data center.
