Clearly we should be going for the least amount of deaths per human
Celery and all other plants are living things too. So are krill and protozoa. Eating celery kills it, and it takes a lot more celery lives than cow lives to keep a person running.
Full frame and larger is a waste of money for all but a very narrow range of uses - mostly low-light photography where low noise is critical and there's time to do critical focusing, or extreme detail applications. For most amateur photographers APS-C is optimum: the price is less than half of full frame and the depth of field is substantially better. Also, full-frame cameras with high quality lenses are heavy; you won't be happy carrying one while mountain climbing.
Excuse me, Mr. Soldier who's far away on the ground while I'm piloting a helicopter. What ammo are you using? Will you wait while I look it up in my reference book to see what the lethal range is?
You've got your history all wrong.
In the United States, it's "life, liberty, property."
In France, it's "liberty, equality, fraternity."
Equality has never been a part of the American way of life, because the Founders were wise enough to understand that equality and freedom are incompatible.
In hilly places, wind farms will be on hilltops, roads tend to follow valleys. The separation is usually substantial. On wide planes, the location of windmills is almost arbitrary, determined by land costs, ease of connection to the grid and closeness to users, etc..
you emit 1T of CO2, you have to remove 1T of CO2. Or pay someone else to do it. But this would cripple us. Far better is to provide a matching subsidy to clean energy sources. [emphasis added]
This is economically ignorant. Where does the subsidy come from? Whether from the CO2 emitters of the general tax base, the economic burden on humanity is the same.
If the actual damage caused by CO2 emission (if any) exceeds the benefits of the actions that result in its generation by so much that "this would cripple us", then we're already irreparably harmed (obviously not the case.) If the CO2 generators are forced to pay more than the damage caused, it is unjust. If they're forced to pay exactly what the damage is, then it would not "cripple us", as already demonstrated.
If removing the CO2 from the atmosphere costs more than the damage it causes, it serves no valid purpose to remove it.
Although an 80486 on a modern process could have a blazing fast clock, it wouldn't be effective speed competition for a modern processor due to small cache and poor instructions-per-clock. For most programs, memory bandwidth would be a limiting factor.
Optimized for efficiency at a moderate clock speed, it would be an interesting product, but probably not competitive against a system-on-chip.
Let's say you have to implement a new numeric type, say 144 bit scientific notation ("float".) C does not have operator overloading, so expressing
e = (a+b) * (c+d);// C++
looks like this in C
e = mult144( add144(a,b) , add144(c,d) );
The C++ version is more concise and much easier to understand.
This is both logically and historically false. Traditional work places included large open rooms, group offices, and individual offices. Cubicles were introduced in the 1970s as a cheap replacement for individual offices, to give the cubicle dwellers the illusion of privacy.
The reason for open office (a.k.a. bullpen) is management control and power over those who have to work in such places. Cost is an excuse, nothing more. Many executives get off on the feeling that they're oppressing the peons.

Slow learner? If something makes me puke, I never eat it again anywhere, nor buy from the same organization again.

A monorail in front of the Vatican would look cool, just like Disneyland. Just think of the tourism dollars. Not.
Many of us in the U.S. think the same thing.

I bet they didn't try high heels or steel-toed work boots. Those would make more than a 4% difference.

From https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/10_nm_lithography_process gate length 20 nm, 51 nm metal pitch. Similar to the practices of other semiconductor manufacturers, no honest person could call this a 10 nm process.
Stars are "born", "die", and merge. Any exact number would soon be obsolete. And pointless.

What is the effective warranty time on a company that has gone out of business?
There is some government involvement in the dust bowl, slavery, and the S&L crisis.

Wind towers are considered eyesores. Just ask a Kennedy.
In New Hampshire, many towns have decommissioning escrow requirements for cell towers and open pit mines as a part of zoning regulations.
What features do these chips have? What's the clock rate? What are some benchmark scores?
Financially, it makes a lot of difference if these Chinese CPUs are actually competitive.

Citation please. I looked at about 8 C++ FAQ websites, and the prevailing advice was "undefined behavior" and "operating system dependent."
Initializing a large block of memory for an embedded system may be a waste of time.
Photoshop was developed for use on the Apple Macintosh.
Gimp was developed for Unix and Unix-like systems.
Open Office had its roots in CP/M.
wold: noun:
a piece of high, open, uncultivated land or moor.
This is completely believable.
