How oxide cuts data center power consumption in half

> When we started Oxide, the DC bus bar stood as one of the most glaring differences between the rack-scale machines at the hyperscalers and the rack-and-stack servers that the rest of the market was stuck with. That a relatively simple piece of copper was unavailable to commercial buyers

It seems that 0xide was founded in 2019 and Open Compute Project had been specifying dc bus bars for 6 years at that point. People could purchase racks if they wanted, but it seems like, by large, people didn't care enough to go whole hog in on it.

Wonder if the economics have changed or if it's still just neat but won't move the needle.

It's normally incredibly difficult for employees to disrupt at massive companies that would be the type which runs a data center. Disruption usually enters the corp in a sales deck, much like the one Oxide would have.

It's stupid, but that's why we all have jobs.

I think engineers should be more forceful to lead their own visions instead being led by accountants and lawyers.

After engineers have the power of implementation and de-implementstion. They need to step into dirty politics and bend other people's views.

It's either theirs or ours. Win-win is a fallacy.
