Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The tabletop game Attack Vector: Tactical from 2004 also models the need for radiators and risk of overheating.

Science fiction from the 20th century tended to ignore cooling and cosmic rays (the one exception I can recall is Jerry Pournelle's superscience Langston Field) and we know these guys are not up to date even on pop culture or good at reading.
