Data center water debate: critic says they waste water 'with no treats,' tech crowd pushes back

A snarky exchange over data center water use: Mary Pezzulo argues a Krispy Kreme puts water to tangible use (doughnuts, coffee, sanitation) while data centers 'waste' the same resource with nothing to show. csuwildcat mocks the belief that data centers are literally consuming a dwindling water supply, noting they 'only solve critical math and science problems.' The spat reflects the broader fight over data centers' real water footprint versus their perceived output.
