I am SO impressed with Tolzien . God knows where we would be if VD hadn ' t started today . <| sep |> True , but between the overhead of the server running fans and disks spinning , RAM refreshing , etc vs the blip a search would cause to the workload the server has , a single search is inconsequential . Then again , scale that up to 9 million searches per second or whatever Google ' s handling these days , and you end up with massive , watercooled data centers in places where electricity is cheap . <| sep |> I think it ' s more productive to keep an eye on this shit so we ' re ready for anything rather than spiking the football over and over . I ' m thinking plenty critically . The left has done far worse to maintain power in its history than rigging a couple elections .
