That doesn't sound like a good idea. Sweden is populate mainly with hackers and vampires.

Why the fark would you choose to drive an American V8, RWD sports car in a place that receives that much snowfall and has an average temperature of 2C?

Hmmm, I have family there, and working for Facebook would be a nice gig.

If only I could get over the winter temperatures and nearly no sun in the winter.

Data centers don't normally employ that many people.

This data center will house all your private data and you can't do a thing about it because it's in Sweden.

Oh, I know, and they'll hire Swedes before an American interloper.

Nah, that one has tractionkajigger. Adventurous Swedes drive something with terrible rear axle pressure, El Camino bigblock or the common Volvo 740(worst winter car ever).

Apparently you didn't read TFA and see the bits about the reliability of the powergrid and "Sweden's dense fibre-optic network."

Won't get that in Alaska.

Well, not the bit about the fibre-optic network. Certain parts of Alaska have lots of dense.

That doesn't really look like a very practical place to put a railway terminal.
