You can get Lifepo4 for roughly $100 per kWh of storage is you do a group buy on 272 ah cells. This is cheaper than lead and is a better chemistry from what I've seen.

You can do a hybrid approach with the hot metal burn chamber for wood gas and earthen materials to slowly radiate the heat. This is called a rocket mass heater. The exhaust temperature is usually below 100C and often smokeless (a complete b

Best fireplace in terms of efficiency is a rocket mass heater. It burns the wood gas in a secondary burn chamber and then routes the exhaust through a lot of thermal mass. One 2 hour fire a day will usually heat 2000 sq feet of house. 3m vi

could this be used for rapid testing? Even if it's not safe for in the body use it seems like there's other ways that this could be used.

Sony and Canon both have phase detection on the sensor. it's fairly accurate and would serve the same purpose as lidar, get really close to perfect focus so contrast detection af can bring it to perfect focus fairly quickly.

I've heard rumors that the mach number dial had a 4 on it; But the engine is rated to 3.6, anything past that would bottom out the inlet spikes and then you'd get an unstart.

If a major player like GitHub doesn't support ipv6 then ??? Also a lot of vps providers do ipv6 incorrectly so some form; vultr seems to be the only one I've found that does it well.

Yeah I’m curious about how this would work with a longer pin. I have one that’s over 6 and you need to press ok after punching in the pin; making it much harder to crack I’d imagine.

Plants that are more resistant to herbicides/pesticides (weeds/bugs) due to GMO is my main gripe. Indoor growing and hydroponics is the best solution to this from my point of view. I have no problem with making food more nutrient-

I always ask them to read code and tell me what it does. 100% better than whiteboard coding because you can hear them working through it.

Not a drug so not a lot of money to be made long term. I’m really surprised this even got funding to be studied. Spend money marketing something that isn’t unique or patentable is usually a loosing game. For example if you pitched this on s

All true points. The x100 is a fixed lens camera though. HSS flashes are fairly cheap these days; I have 3 Flashpoint ones (low cost Chinese), but I usually only need one. Nice thing is the same flash works (TTL & HSS) with Canon, Nikon

Surprised I don't see any comments about High Speed Sync. The tech behind pulsing the strobe to match the shutter is spot on these days. Most modern flashes have HSS which solves this issue, I don't see the need for a Leaf Shutter

I bet if Elon could turn back the clock he'd skip F9H and going straight to BFR. F9's Payload to LEO numbers have been going up; first design: 10,450 kg, current: 22,800 kg. On paper when Heavy was designed it was 25,000 kg to LEO
