Sorry to digress but I've noticed a recent proliferation of “subscribe with” podcast app/service buttons. Why not simply post the RSS and be done with it? What if your favorite podcast app is not listed? Why deliver your content on a silver plate to huge private companies? Haven't we learned a thing?

  Most people don’t know what RSS is. Hell, most developers I know barely know what it is. As a podcaster myself I want to make it easy for people to subscribe and from statistics 95% use iTunes, Overcast or Spotify (I provide a RSS feed as well)

    >(I provide a RSS feed as well) That's all I'm asking, really.

  Short answer: Because everyone else is doing it.

>"So the batteries specifically, if you look at lithium-ion batteries, what you can do is by adding graphene to both the cathode and the anode Well, to make a bit of a shot in the dark here, the answer appears to be, at least from reading the text of the article, that graphene is being used to improve lithium batteries. I can sometimes be guilty of not reading an article before commenting, but to do it as the headline writer seems downright lazy.

tldr; graphene can be used for batteries. Not to be an ass, but there's like no content on this page that has anything to do with graphene batteries overtaking lithium. It's an incredibly light article/interview providing no information as to why that might happen or how... Is there some sort of secret page I missed or link to the real content? HN has some misleading article titles on it from time to time but the title of this is non-sense. It should be called "Graphene comes from Graphite" in which case no one would vote on it because it's obviously got no content.

  Right, very little content. Also Graphene batteries are already out and unfortunately they perform about the same as regular lithium batteries.

No.

  Graphene can do everything! Except get out of the lab.
