I've seen a bunch of HN posts about various battery technologies, but CMBlu hasn't gotten any attention. I noticed them because the electric utility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is embarking on an evaluation of their tech. I first not

When I watched it on my phone it looked great. On a decent sized screen, not so much. That sent me searching. Here’s another video from NTV, a Turkish TV channel. https://www.ntv.com.tr/video/turkiye/ntv-ekibi-depr

Surely it is more complicated. It may be able to serve the goal of eliminating fossil fuels from the car while not getting the full simplicity of (not really) solid state batteries we have today. It would seemingly also allow you to carry a

Why wouldn’t it be good for cars? It seems a fluid exchange could recharge the car, limited by how fast you can pump out the discharged fluid and pump in charged fluid. I have no idea whether there are containment or environmental challenge

Several years back I needed a plumber in a bit of a hurry. I used Angie’s List, now angi.com, with a little less hesitancy than using Google reviews or yelp. The plumber I hired this way did a good job at a fair price. For less urgent work

I recently heard it being described as a Patagonia vest recession. Not blue collar, not white collar, but Patagonia vest. I find that much catchier than richsession.

It’s a neat concept but the glossy screens are a non-starter for me. When I’m looking at a screen I really want to see what’s on the screen, not reflections of the surroundings.

University of Wisconsin (the other other UW lol lol) also has steam tunnels. We were advised to not go out not them because Tunnel Bob and other inhabitants may not be welcoming to visitors.

RAID0 could be striping which would require all devices to be the same size or it could be concatenation which leaves it to some other layer to balance load across drives. What I suggested allows the use of the full capacity of the drives w

Aside from the hilly areas of San Francisco, it is quite flat too. Whenever I've visited SF my primary mode of transit is walking. Except for the time I stayed in a hotel at the top of Nob Hill, I was generally walking on land that is
