Energy cost can be theoretically lower than on earth IF launch costs and additional hardware costs are low enough. Because solar is about 5x better on space than on earth. That's basically it.
If we wanted to launch the Stratos Hyperscale AI Data Center, which will take 40,000 acres of land, to space, we're looking at roughly 3 million tons of equipment, or 3 billion kilograms. SpaceX charges $1520 per kilogram, so it would be about $4.5T to launch all of that into orbit. We'll just assume the space station already exists and labor is free to hook it up, given that we've already hit the annual budget for the US federal government in launch fees. And it'll take about 47,000 launches to get the equipment there, or roughly 300 years.
On the opposite side of the experience, after wavefront LASIK on my very very high prescription eyes, I've had dry eyes for the past 15 years and needed glasses again about 5 years post-surgery. It's now a very mild prescription and I'd definitely say my vision is better now than it was before LASIK, but it didn't last long. I opted not to get a touch up out of fear of my eyes getting even more dry. I use eye drops 5+ times per day. My dark night vision is worse than it was before, mostly a lack of contrast. It doesn't impact driving, but being in a very dim room feels like the gamma was slightly raised.
I've never had a cpu die in the decades I've been using them. I've bought 10-20 year old computers that still work just fine. I kept my last MacBook for 9 years before I upgraded out of want for more RAM.
Most computer equipment fails quickly, otherwise you'll get a long life out of whatever it is.
You pay per impression or per click, just like in all the rest of their ads. Except these have a higher CPC since you're the only featured brand to go along with paragraphs of text about why your shoes are the best.
Every. Time. No, I'm not interested in something with a similar name on the other side of the planet, I'm interested in the thing that is a 10-20min. drive away from me.
You don't need a physical presence to be subject to another country's laws. Disobeying a judicial order would be grounds for issuing a warrant which could easily be expanded to an international warrant for the owners of the platform.
The "judicial order" in the first place violates the first amendment, which isn't binding on Greece, but is binding on the nature of any extradition order they wish to seek in the USA.
You can solve all of them far cheaper and easier on land.
