By the time you count grid losses, and the fact that you have to have land unusable for anything but electric generation, you probably do come out ahead on residential solar.  These panels go on land that’s dual-purpose and used for homes too.

It would make sense to subsidize the up-front costs, and then have the homeowner pay it back over time

Only if you want to get rid of end-to-end encryption.  In other words, you don’t want this.

Bad math. If we assume that the vast majority of infections are the risky people, that cuts it down to 36 million. That’s 1 in 36 per year. That means that if you wear contacts over a 12-year period, you have a nearly 1 in 3 chance of an infection of some kind.

Because asking to buy Greenland isn’t an insult either...

The new iPhone isn’t only getting announced on twitter.

If they’re announcing something important, it will be announced somewhere else too.

Complete failure at PCI compliance. You should never be storing complete card numbers - especially in plain text. And ideally, you have the card processor hold the actual card numbers and you only have an authorization that can only be used to charge to you (and not used by anyone else).

Get ready to have your mind blown, but corn is grass seed (a grain). Juice only comes from fruit or vegetables.

Meh - would still be less evil than most of the medical industry.
