Why python? Why sink development effort into an obsolete and deeply flawed language?
Flawed? Sure, although every language has its flaws, some more than others. Deeply flawed? Not really. Obsolete? Lol, what. It's top 3 most popular languages.

Right but this doesn't necessarily have to be a drive failure. (Pun not intended.) Imagine if there was some id collision due to a db migration or something, and then one user ends up deleting the other user's data accross all backups. Unless google never deletes any data, even when the user deletes it themselves, then you can't be saved from that.
Theoretically possible, but (super super super) unlikely. I'd also think that when a user "permanently" deletes their data, it would still be on Google servers for a specified time (maybe a week?).
Again, all guesses. But if someone offered me a bet, I'd wager 1:10,000 that the data is permanently deleted. Extremely unlikely.

Can you expound on this? What makes you sure?
My guess would be they have multiple backups. I obviously can't say for sure since I don't work there, but it's very very good guess.

How was ai used? Feels like you can add ai to any hackernews title to get upvotes.
I used ai to generate this comment.
I think OP means they used AI to create/code the app, instead of AI being used in the app.
Wow, you sure owned them ...
Could we just not make these kind of comments? They aren't useful.
I thought it was funny. Is this is no fun zone?
No, this highlights that electricity is virtually all of the TCO over the life of the device. It doesn't sound like you've done a lot of TCO work before. In any case we're talking about facilities containing tens of thousands of these devices, so the TCO of one of them is irrelevant.
I don't understand your point. Yes, electricity is virtually all the TCO of the device (other than the upfront cost). Isn't that the case for any consumer electronic part - processor, memory, hdd, etc? That fact doesn't change any of what I'm trying to say.
My point is that this cost (of electricity) is negligible relative to two other costs - cost of time (in other words, cost of human capital), and the upfront cost of the device itself.
This is a response to your comment "Wait, why? Is it more important to organizations to wait a little less time, or to spend less money (on electricity)?"
The cost of electricity for running a single RTX 4090 a year: $800 (calculation below). Cost to the company of the median developer: $200,000.
Assume a 20 cent cost of 1 kWh, then a RTX 4090 with a 450W power draw for a year costs: 0.45 * 24 * 365 * 0.20 = $788.4
Moreover, considering the cost of the card itself at $1,600, the electricity expenses become relatively minor. In fact, for the price of the card, you could operate it non-stop for two years. This highlights how the cost of electricity is a small factor in the overall picture.
That's not abundantly clear. Some of the facilities in the article cost $100k/hr.
