Chinese cells are like illicit drugs: quality varies widely and it's hard to know what someone is getting. I bought 4 laptop batteries from Amazon and all had overstated capacities…

Can't wait to buy the plastic battery holder grids for Tesla-sized cells. My first 18650 pack is made from 4 laptop batteries and is capable of about 63 A at 0.2C.

Not quite as old and cool as an aircooled 22 window DIY EV like the electric samba, just a digijet Vanagon Westy water-boxer plankton-burner. If/when I had 12 grand, I'm ripping th…

because it's pointless and since areas can be and have been turned off for non-military receivers.

Airbnb, uber or is that an offer to cofound an app to pay to live with startup people? Personally, I'd never let someone rent it without a massive security deposit and a very profi…

Thanks bro, I got this. :) Although I do have an LED spinning light ball, an old tape-player radio and the world's smallest dance floor.

VW doesn't make a big RV. :) The same as anyone else. It sounds like you're trying to imply something like stereotypes or biogtry. What are you really asking?

Travel patterns mapped before, during and after events helps predict future spread patterns. Search-engine queries and pharmacy sale histograms by SKUs, especially with geolocation…

I live in a VW somewhere in Silicon Valley. Ask me anything (respectful, non-troll) EDIT: I don't usually bite, but when I do, I won't eat much.

Why on earth does the military-industrial complex need to spend money on a duplicate, irrelevant technology? I worked at Trimble Nav in the radio group, and the POTUS has the abili…

Sam will give us the straight dope on all of InfoWars (lol) favorite conspiracy theories. ;)

DRM, bleh. It's sad that open source browsers and open web standards folks are doing the bidding of corporate interests. At this rate, we won't be able to own a permanent, portable…

"Have you seen the swimming pool on the roof?" ;)

Yup. Having many distributed li-ion battery walls charging at night for peak assist during the day is one way to level out demand and make the energy infrastructure more resilient …

FES is used in non-kill-zone habitable solutions like datacenters, bottoms of passenger trams/hybrid buses and electromagnetic aircraft catapults. The historical issue with FES is …

The price of raw cells are super cheap now and if you're willing to reearch, engineering and DIY, you can build great panels for even cheaper. As many large projects come online, b…

Btw Linux / Fortuna http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0504.1/1964.html

Code is useless if no one knows how to use it properly and it's not communicated clearly. Users certainly can't be expected to read every line of code. That's like shipping a car w…

I've seen too many people get unnecessary, life-quality-killing butcherous surgeries and read the evidence confirming most end-of-life surgeries rarely have useful benefit. If you'…
