Well! That's an honest-to-God discount then! $1.00 + 30% = 1.00 + 0.30 = $1.30 then $1.30 - 30% = 1.30 - 0.13*3 = $0.91 PROFIT!

Sunshine is free, but materials, labour, manufacturing, manufacturing and end-of-life waste, land and opportunity cost of building solar/wind energy installations are all not free.

Well, that's the point. 2020 is not 1990-2000. Time to IPO has increased dramatically.

Bazel is buggy?! Bazel is not a clone, it's the refactoring of the internal build system, basically. I am 99% certain that Blaze currently has Bazel at the core. And it's pretty damn robust.

I mean, NY Times shouldn't be taken at face value. Al Jazeera shouldn't be taken at face value. CBC shouldn't be taken at face value. Everybody has bias/interests and I fail to see how the stuff coming from Sixth Tone is

I'm not sure you can call it "miss" if the article tries to hide its thesis as well as this one. After you keep going about file API and windows for pages and pages, you may insist all you like that "the point is coming&

That carbon emitted is largely from the manufacturing of cheap products that you consumed. Western countries have offshored both manufacturing and the associated pollution to a country more concerned about pulling its people out of poverty

Exactly; the furnace is where you'd expect it to break out, so it won't. Somebody didn't write their integration tests for the coal storage though.
