Not my experience in a 2018 S and a 2019 X. Wiper fluid, tires, brake fluid, air filters are the only work done, over 100k miles on both. Paid inspections done at ~100k miles to confirm for proactive replacement if needed. Intend to operate them until the powertrain fails.
I earn too much to receive any incentives, so keeping an eye on the used market to buy another Tesla or two (preferably Ys, but would take a 3).
Edit: I enjoy spirited driving, and do so frequently on roads of many different quality across the eastern US and Midwest.
Going 100,000 miles is not the same thing as lasting "forever," which is around 250,000 miles in my opinion.
Is the author's implication that the developer took the project in a different direction because of the war? I don't understand what the connection is between "major geopolitical events" and the library. It's just a graph that shows that a year after the war started, the developer removed a feature the author liked.

Just build dense housing. People actually like dense mixed use living.
Just because someone prefers it over being homeless or commuting 90 minutes each way doesn't mean they like it
Imperial Valley farmers are paying a trivial $20/acre-foot of water and are primarily growing hay to feed domestic and foreign livestock. Looks like 685K acre-feet per year to feed livestock out of a total water extraction of 1188K acre-feet (had to add up the totals from their graph to get that). So that means ~58% of the water is for cows.
Given how politically impossible it seems to be to increase rates or re-litigate water rights, I think I have to agree with the conclusion of the article: we got to stop eating the meat they're producing.
The health of the Colorado River Basin affects tons of people very directly in the U.S. and Mexico. We have been over-extracting it for ages. I am in favor of wise water usage in non-agricultural settings, but it's time we took action to mitigate the increasingly detrimental impacts of legacy water users from a legacy social and environmental climate.
The article states that 50% of hay grown in Southern California is exported to China, and another 10% is exported to Saudi Arabia. If American meat consumption decreases, the portion of hay that gets exported will likely just increase. I think water intensity should be taken into account when determining export policies. Every time I read an article about water usage in an industry, the biggest or one of the biggest users ends up being the export market. We're shipping one of our most precious resources away.
And? They probably feed as many people
They mostly grow hay. A large portion of the hay is exported to other countries.
Just one of the twenty families using more water than the entirety of Southern Nevada, including Las Vegas, to grow mainly hay is absurd. At some point the fact that the irrigation district has one of the oldest water contracts has to come to terms with the fact that the desert isn't the best place to farm. People in America should have priority over exporting hay to other countries.
Do you remember the time when Ars Technica didn't only publish reposts from the Verge, Logitech press-releases, and covid articles but actually posted hands-on technical and sysadmin tutorials (like the original of this switch from many years ago), and did hands-on reviews instead of generating it with a template?
Pepperidge farm remembers (but only very vaguely, it was a long time ago).
Your comment made me nostalgic so I went to John Siracusa's last macOS review from 2014 (10.10 Yosemite)[1]. Copied and pasted into Microsoft Word, it is 84 pages long, almost 27,000 words, and averages about one image per page. Quality and length are obviously not the same thing, but I can't imagine any online news outlet publishing something like that now.

Yes? Of course? They are based on spending surveys:

When people change their habits in life the CPI is changed to reflect what that life costs. Up here in Canada, the CPI is also adjusted from spending surveys:
* https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/survey/household/3508
You can see the list of changes going back to 1913:

Do you think coal and lard should be included, like they were in Canada pre-1956? Or do you think the CPI should try to model reality?
> […] meaning the data isn't reliable over time.
It is meaningful in that life now and life ten or twenty or more years ago was different in what people purchased. That should be reflected in measures that model consumer spending.
Spending habits are mitigated by inflation though. For example, I buy significantly less beef than I did five years ago because it is now too expensive. Putting less weight on beef prices because of the reduction in consumption would indicate that inflation is less than it actually is.

You don’t get ”free electricity” with absolutely massive handouts to the nuclear industry.
Instead renewables and storage are delivering on the ”too cheap to meter” promise.
