What's YOUR favorite tech innovation?
@Moosader VASTLY MORE CARBON-INTENSIVE BLOCKBUSTER.

@LRRRonEarth Which set of numbers are you using? There was a news article going around a couple of years ago that was, like, off by an order of magnitude, and I'm intrigued to see if that got sticky.

@sgf IT'S PROBABLY BEST IF I JUST WITHDRAW THIS COMMENT ENTIRELY AT THIS POINT. RAW CONJECTURE FUELED BY SKIMMING HEADLINES ABOUT HOW ENERGY INTENSIVE CLOUD STORAGE IS. THAT'S A BAD WAY TO MAKE AN OPINION.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE CARNEGIE MELLON NUMBERS. FULL DISCLOSURE: I WAS PROBABLY ON THE JOHN, AND DEFINITELY NOT CONDUCTING A RIGOROUS REVIEW.
