After reading it twice I'm still not sure what the horizontal axis represents. Is it time in days? I know this is probably meant to be read by people who know more about the subject than me, but adding some axis labels wouldn't hu

Those polls don't necessarily mean that people aren't choosing the lesser of two evils. Those questions aren't asked in a vacuum. Most of the polls ask about people's opinion of the candidates in a Clinton vs Trump conte

There might be a good reason why they use glass ceramics instead of for example stone. Maybe because it's harder to manufacture consistently (ferromagnetic impurities?), has a larger coefficient of expansion or because it's harder

You could argue that Google is directly saving money by not paying people to train its ML algorithms (which I'm assuming they have a plan to monetize).

Diesel engines produces less CO2 by being slightly more efficient. Pretrol engines produce less nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. What's "greener" is just a matter of your definition of it.
