...and it would take a smoothbrain like Melon to think orbital data-
centers are Brilliant, Actually. Basic physics lesson, kids: no matter
what cartoons told you, the temperature of a vacuum is N/A, not Minus A
Jillion. Without a surrounding medium, you can only lose heat by radi-
ation, which is *vastly* less efficient - and when cooling is one of
the primary challenges of building these dumb things on a planet *with*
oceans' worth of cooling medium, what do you think that does for the
relative difficulty of keeping your billions of dollars of computing
gear from incinerating itself?

(To say nothing of the maintenance costs, the increase in latency...)
