The researchers synthesize 21 kg of PbI2 out of a single battery. PbI2 has a density of around 6 g/cm^3. The solar cells have a 500nm coat of PbI2. If I do the math, then I get 7000 m^2 of solar panels out of it [1], which is 10x more

Can I use this for a setup where multiple users look at the same "screen"? I combed through the documentation and am attempted to say no...

If you are not using it online, then you might be better off not applying any updates. In my experience, updates caused as many problems as they were solving. The 3.8 Kernel was the only one that supported Device Tree Overlays. I found that

I love the BeagleBone Black and I own several of them. I also bought some for work. But I hate setting them up. I wasted days getting one to boot again, after an update made booting from uSD impossible. Setting up the GPIO pins and the PRUs

As a homework problem (University), we once had to find all such equations, in all possible bases. Turns out there is only two, and they are both in the decimal system: 56=7x8, and 12=3x4.

I guess that the ratio h_open/h_closed is much bigger for hot beverages, due to evaporative cooling. Of course, this would mean that the optimum shape is even thinner than those that were calculated. But maybe the shape of tee-cups and

Internet connections can be quite asymmetrical. I have a 32 MBit/s downlink, but only 1 MBit/s up. That makes updating data on my tablet with data from home painfully slow unless I am at home. For me, a fast peer that I don't

I like that "untrusted peers" are defined in the protocol, but unfortunately it's only an optional addendum [1]. To me, untrusted peering is the most important feature and I hope that not being defined in the main protocol do

I don't believe the round-to-next-even-method will give you a perfectly even distribution. Benford's law can be generalized to the second, third, ... digit, and although the distribution is not as skewed as for the first digit [

> Round to nearest even is the default IEEE rounding mode. This means that 5.5 rounds to 6, and 6.5 also rounds to 6. Wat. I had never even heard about this, but the more I read and think about it, the more this rule makes sense to me. H

> water has ONE boiling temperature – 100 Celcius This is not correct. The boiling point of water is a function of atmospheric pressure [1]. Weather changes the atmospheric pressure by up to 50mbar, which translates to a couple degrees o

Interesting link! Do you plan to offer a LAMP stack for ARM-based devices? I am running my home-server on a BeagleBone Black because electricity is expensive (2 € per Wattyear) and the BeagleBone only needs around 1 Watt of power (in additi

The press release unfortunately omits the fact that the treatment was only tested on mice [0]. I'm not from the medical field, but my understanding is that you shouldn't get too excited about therapies that are this early in their

Calling what the 19 year old Taylor Wilson built at age 14 a "fusion plant" is somewhat misleading. For me, a "fusion plant" is a device that generates power. His machine, a Farnsworth fusor, should more appropriately be

I completely disagree with the first example - rainbow map vs. custom color map for height data on a geographic map. The custom color map is designed to show a step at 0, which highlights the coastline. Depending on what you want show, this

Oh no, the units! I had to go watch the interview to make sure Musk said it right: $600 per KWh, not the silly $600 KW per hour that is written in the article...
