    71% of the US population is white. 34-40% of Harvard students are white. 26% of Stanford students are white. Yeah, sounds like a really valid conspiracy you have there

    A commendable operation but sadly, this is a very small fraction of a percentage of the 8-10 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year. The Ocean Cleanup themselves have…

    This is the problem with skipping through things like this - you missed the part about real world chrome performance. It’s okay to be happy with 8gb, but it doesn’t mean you are ri…
