It’s very efficient. The net electrical energy saved using the latent heat of water is 30 to 100+ times greater than the energy required to desalinate or wastewater recycle the same volume of water.

Definitely not all. Look into 401(k) self-directed brokerage accounts.

There was an opportunity to apply over a decade ago. The plan is to open another window for applications next year.

Unfortunately, I don’t think end-to-end encryption guarantees much when it comes to legal intercept in proprietary messaging apps. The intercept functionality could be done in the client and capture data, not just metadata.

> This is false, and they even claim so just a few paragraphs down

It’s not false. The first quote is about asymmetric, and the latter is about symmetric.

What I’ve read suggests that vitamin d toxicity from sun exposure isn’t a thing because your body self regulates production.

Yes, the standard withholding methods produce poor results when pay does not arrive evenly through the whole year.

It is possible for employers to use alternative methods. IRS Pub. 15-T sec. 6 has details on common alternatives and constraints.

I have no idea to what extent employers support any of these alternative methods. I imagine it's limited to employers where much of their workforce is overwithheld using the standard methods. One example might be a school district where teachers are only paid when in session.

> withholding is set at a fixed rate at the beginning of the year

This is not correct. It's calculated per pay period. Please see IRS Publication 15 and 15-T.

In the random case you’re reading a whole page to get some tiny struct.
