The cost to the fixed length fields and records is padding with
blanks. That results in streaming files having a 2/1 compression
ratio and fixed length files having a 4/1 ratio.

"Underpowered" systems led to

Correct. I copied the article from the NYT & then reposted the paragraph in the
article which discussed the study.
Heh - I don't think those are rankings - just (former) links from the
article in whatever publication Bill copied from.

This is just a reflex, but that's VERY unlikely. Such predictions are almost
always based on "if this trend continues...". But trends never continue -
never.
Mind you, sometimes they change for the worse. But 27% doesn't sound plausible.

Not as bad as feared. And I’m an environmentalist.
Cloud Computing Is Not the Energy Hog That Had Been Feared
The digital services churned out by the world’s computer centers are
multiplying, but their energy use is not, thanks to cloud computing, a new
study says.

Interesting that Ireland & concern for electric power consumption by
computers should appear together in a new context.
In late 2017 there were articles widely quoted (and since questioned on
accuracy) that use of computers for mining cryptocurrency was estimated
to consume annually more
All good questions, Paul. And you are correct about the URL, too, thanks for
fixing that.
The article does claim that data centres (sp?) could take up 27% of the [Irish]
national electricity output by 2029.

Recently the BBC posted an article about how the grow in Irish data centers (or
"centres" for the Brits) is causing a possible power crises. See "Can we make

Sounds like a great opportunity for IBM to highlight the
