A little over 1.5 cubic meters per person. In "football fields", the gold would be over 430 ft high.

I suppose you could go the other direction. You could be an international human rights organization, and treat the database like a billion claim checks. Having a definitive record of people's existence would make it more difficult for

It depends on how much the screen size matters to you, though an iPad using Sidecar might be worth looking at for additional screen real estate. I put off upgrading a 2016 13" MacBook Pro, thinking that the second iteration of the M1 w

Why not just get a 13" MBA, then sell it in a year if the M2 is worth it? The 13" MBA isn't heavy like the 14" model, it's relatively cheap for being significantly more responsive than the Intel 13" MBPs, and i

They are the worst of any collection of sites I regularly use. They take up a quarter of the screen, refuse to remember your opt out choices from day to day, regardless of whether you are signed in or not, and don't respect your choice
