   It's not binding to the salt, in any chemical sense. Just that, in quantities of sea salt crystals, you also find tiny pieces of plastic mixed in.

   I feel like this might be better titled as a "Pixel Art Advanced Concepts Tutorial" - this seems to assume you're already extremely proficient at making figures out of pixel art. I definitely clicked this excited to see a &qu

   Mechanically, the battery is better yes. However since it's becoming rather obvious that the general population had no idea how this battery limit worked, it means that Tesla could say "our battery is better" and be lauded f

   I would normally hope so, but Tesla cars have definitely had a bit of "fanboy blindness" happening where they don't really think too closely about things. This also could apply to the battery's overall lifespan - by rele

   So I'm REALLY curious to know now - in all those road tests where people testing the car gave the 60kWh cars such glowing reviews, was Tesla flipping the switch for more range, the way ISPs flip the switch when you run speed tests?? Th

   Despite the fact that all we can do here is argue using anecdotes, I'll toss mine in - I live in the US, not on the west coast (midwest for me). I make over 100k a year, I have excellent benefits, lots of vacation time, and when I lea

    The value of the article is the advertising - I could tell just from the title that it was almost certainly written by someone employed by a "tech co-op". I've never seen an article like this introducing a concept and why it

    If the latter are paying you "what you're worth" in return for 50-60 hours a week, aren't you getting paid 50-75% of what you're worth...? I think you've been fooled.

    All except one of these has an associated location, and that 1 lists "Facebook" as the company, so a location can be assumed. Not sure what you meant by this comment.
