Per-windmill bird fatalities are much, much lower for new windmills. They made some cosmetic changes that scare the birds off. Also, it turns out that bird flight patterns are very stable from year to year, so they study flight patterns, a

Trump made $4B last year. It's open and direct bribery at this point. He's said he plans to hide behind qualified immunity and pardons for people he pays (with tax money) to break the law on his behalf. Dario (CEO of Anthropic)

3150x2210 is sort of a normal resolution for retina displays. It's close to a native panel resolution on iOS, but they do this dumb fractional scaling thing because it was too hard to backport support for high DPI displays to MacOS X.
