You might be genetically blessed, others might be genetically cursed. Some are genetically predisposed to becoming fat. Its still a fact that they are fat. And being fat comes with associated health risks.
This seems a slow death in the long term to me. 1. Customers that balk at this cost will switch to other cheaper/free vendors. 2. Oracle imposes even more onerous costs to maintain revenue. and repeat. At some point…

If you judge the coding style of the early 1970s with modern standards, it isn't going to look great. 50 years is a loooong time. dmr was one of, if not the first C programmer(s).

You're still assuming ALL of that remaining land area in the circle is habitable. Eg. India has 43% of it's land classified under "others" [0]. A large chunk of that 43% is not likely to be habitable. 0:…
52M km^2 of land on our planet is habitable, after forests, shrubs, rivers and lakes [0]. Total land mass is 149M km^2. So only 1/3 of the world's land is habitable. That's actually ~20M square miles. Your habitable…
