They are just buying the power. Microsoft's goal is 24/7 matching, so every MWh of power they use is matched by a MWh of clean power (generated in that same hour) that they paid for. This is called market-based carbon accounting,

This doesn't make any sense. Julia Child was a spy herself well before she was married, that's how she met her husband. Later in life the government decided he was a communist and interrogated him, and then Julia didn't becom

Try those same search terms in Kagi and you'll see Forbes at the top of the results. I use Kagi and like it a lot but you should be aware that most of their results come from Google.

I know it's different, just trying to find the closest modern comparison. You bring up Elvis and the Beatles, but they still matter to quite a few people. This ship does not, and that doesn't mean it's worthless, but it does

> the nation’s flagship > one of its most iconic symbols Kind of wild spin from the owners, it's just a cruise ship. It can't be an "iconic symbol" if essentially nobody in the country has ever heard of it.

Looks like the body temperature update came out a couple months after that article was written, so I guess it works better now. Very cool, I would love to have that on a phone.
