That article is about battery production, and not about actual model 3 production

Why was this flagged?
Re:Make. It. Simple. Linux Desktop Usability on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @12:02AM (#17343738)
I don’t understand a lot of the criticisms at modern ui/ux patterns in this post. Ex: complaining about the hidden settings menu in chrome. Most people just want their applications to work and have the most common functions easily accessible. I am sure most users of chrome don’t ever need to delve into settings and are happy with the minimal set of options presented to them and that user testing backs this decision.

Re:Winds 2.0: It’s Time to Revive RSS on Tuesday May 22, 2018 @05:44PM (#17129670)
Why is this a downloadable app instead of a web app? It's built entirely using web technology. I think RSS belongs in my browser, so I can easily access it from whatever computer I might be using.

I think the chances of MagSafe coming back are slim. I’m debating getting the last updated 15 with the old style keyboard and MagSafe to hold me over for a while...
Re:Ask HN: Why does everyone use a MacBook Pro despite saying they suck? on Wednesday May 02, 2018 @01:30PM (#16979213)
Because they don't suck?

I think people are mostly complaining about the direction the last update took, such as the touchbar which seems more targeted at less experienced computer users and lack of RAM options beyond 16gb, etc.

Re:Making the Touch Bar useful by abandoning Apple guidelines on Friday April 06, 2018 @10:15PM (#16779043)
Yes. And on a similar topic, I find the loupe effect a lot more intuitive than the android bottom of cursor handle too

Guess it's just me, but I find the regular text selection tool a lot quicker and more intuitive. Also, I wonder how many people that haven't read about it somewhere know the feature even exists.

BTW, I have 3d touch on, just don't ever use it. It's on because I'm preparing myself for the inevitable future of variable force touch gestures.

What do you use it for?

I think a lot of the more complex stuff excel has historically been used for has appropriately migrated to better suited analytics and data analysis platforms.
Re:Fountain pen inks: the good, the bad, and the ugly (2011) on Monday March 12, 2018 @01:50AM (#16566413)
For me one of the nice things about a fancy fountain pen is that you generally remembering to keep it with you, heh
