@bruce @kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech Microsoft did a prototype, to a reasonable degree of success: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natick
Neatest result: The failure rate of a data center entombed below several tons of water is actually lower than that of a regular data center, because there aren't any humans in there that could pull out the wrong drive by accident.

@henryk @bruce @kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech Not a bad point, but it’s still subject to the data cable crossing a shoreline. These things are vulnerable enough to thieves looking for copper without running afoul of local governments with guns and armies and backhoes.(why did predictive text give me Zendaya as a correction for “backhoez?” Did it think I was spelling it backwards? I suspect treachery. Or LLM.)
