Renewable power is cheap because it also receives massive government handouts in the form of tax credits.

I would, and I have.

Going 100,000 miles is not the same thing as lasting "forever," which is around 250,000 miles in my opinion.

Is the author's implication that the developer took the project in a different direction because of the war? I don't understand what the connection is between "major geopolitical events" and the library. It's just a graph that shows that a year after the war started, the developer removed a feature the author liked.

The article states that 50% of hay grown in Southern California is exported to China, and another 10% is exported to Saudi Arabia. If American meat consumption decreases, the portion of hay that gets exported will likely just increase. I think water intensity should be taken into account when determining export policies. Every time I read an article about water usage in an industry, the biggest or one of the biggest users ends up being the export market. We're shipping one of our most precious resources away.

At least a few years ago, most of Instagram’s server side code was in Python. Python may be slower than C++, but it’s not about raw speed it’s about being “fast enough.”

The fact that it is more popular to have children over the age of 35 doesn't change the medical realities of it. Anecdotal, but I know more couples with fertility issues than couples who have successfully had a healthy child.
