It should not upset you any more than the rain outside. It's a force of nature, get a raincoat and go where you wanted to go.

In the past I've found that very low prices attract loud and obnoxious customers that complain left and right, while much higher prices attract very quiet customers who never complain. My conclusion is that when your software is new yo

Can someone explain how a garden-varity HEPA filter duct-taped to a boxed fan is not a complete solution to airborne COVID droplet air filtration? This device cleans up a medium size room from forest-fire smoke in 15 minutes and scrubs it s

You can flag sarcasm or admonish the joker by pointing out the rules against snark. I often do that as a matter of public service.

Weird, right? You would think this would be front and center in any election, next to the destruction of quality jobs that prevented the same young people from getting on a good career path. And yet, the two gigantic elephants remain entire

It’s been exactly like that with newspapers and eyewitness accounts for hundreds of years. We survived.

On a tangent: I derive significant amount of guilty pleasure by slacking for a whole day mid-week. Much more than I do from a "proper" weekend. I believe that's because as time rolls we assign minor duties to ourselves for th

Any reading material you would suggest? I do wonder how much of the raging conflict is organic vs paid, and how much organic afterglow one gets from paying for a certain campaign. If your theory is correct much of this kerfuffle will dry up

> You still charge the pack in series I understand that's how it's done, but can we charge faster if we DECIDE NOT to charge in series? I take it the answer is no? Imagine a series of 14 cells. I could charge them as a whole, b

How about a middle ground then? Let's make a few 3-series batteries and charge them. When done charging we stack four of them together to get a single 12-series to power an e-bike. Would that allow for much faster charging?

by DenisM 6y ago
On a tangent, but... do you think it's possible to build a battery that discharges as a pack (in series), but charges each cell individually? I imagine it will require some creative wiring, but charging efficiency should then go throug

I came here to express the same sentiment, but you did it first and you did it better. Thank you.

If you invent a new mousetrap you get to profit from it on your own terms, and everyone else is welcome to buy in or use the old mousetrap. Replace "a mousetrap" with "an organism" and the same law and logic still apply.

I can't pick your brain remotely, alas, but there might be something to reconcile our differences. It is of course not just the boss, it's also the entire business structure. Do you believe in the cause you are serving? Do you fee

It is my observation that most people who object to having a boss in reality only object to having a bad or incompetent boss, and would happily follow someone who is head and shoulder above them. The youthful rebellion is a part of the proc
