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 of the 18650 chemistries... some had 2000 mAh (10% ov

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 the gas motor out and going EV because there's

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 profitable rate because parts are rare, fragile and expensiv

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?

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 ability to increase selective available (SA) to an enormous numbe

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 "license" to a work, only rent a licens

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 in a Google-servers-like way.

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, both li-ion and solar are going to fall through the flo

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 with no user manuals and saying "take t

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're going to check out, go with dignity and don&#x

It should come as no shock that, right now, the elderly in South Korea lack social security in absolute squalor and dignity. Most are abandoned by their families and left alone to kill themselves, usually by jumping off a bridge. There is
