Betavolt's miniature battery could spell the end of smartphone chargers
  • The innovation isn't the product, it is the manufacturing. The cells in pacemakers had the housing of the pacemaker to protect from puncture.

    These devices are meant to go in portable electronics so puncture safety is far more critical.

    Honestly radioactive copper as a low volt lifetime battery is an interesting idea. It won't live power a phone but it could charge it while inactive.

    Good for camping where solar isn't viable.

  • The suffering should never be the point. It never gives meaningful satisfaction to the bereaved and affected and studies support this.

    It is only human and normal to burn with anger and a desire to see monsters such as this torn apart and made to suffer.

    This is part of our animal mind that views tribal justice and the dubious 'wisdom of the crowds' as absolute, and most of the fuckdamn reason we've spent so long learning how to live around millions of each other is in part giving up these outdated and unhelpful social traits.

    In the long run, from the cultural perspective, no amount of his suffering will bring his victims back, and no amount of suffering will convince him that he was morally wrong.

    So execute him, and quickly, and spend the money otherwise that would have covered his upkeep on free food for single parents.

  • It may be barbaric, and considering how many innocents have been railroaded into it via abuse or neglect of justice, ethically untenable on the face of it.

    That said, I feel there are certain people who's actions are so horrific and ideologies so dangerous that should not be allowed to harm society again, and that includes having to pay for their upkeep.

    There are many worthy of execution that have been released to kill again.

    In our imperfect world it is not right to levy a judgment that cannot be reversed.

    If we magically had perfect knowledge of guilt and innocence, I would have zero issue with the death penalty being applied.

    Since that world does not, and cannot exist, I will accept life imprisonment, grudgingly. Some people simply cannot or will not be rehabilitated.

  • What do you guys think of vertical farming?
  • There's an organic produce company in Manhattan that uses vertical grow chambers and they get around the lighting problem by illuminating from the center of the cluster and rotating the plant pods occasionally.

    They get around energy usage by charging a premium and taking advantage of state agricultural grants.

    It's expensive but you can get city grown butter lettuce year round.

  • IPv6 rule
  • IPv6 is all well and good until you need to read of an IP address for a call or write it down if you don't have copy-paste UI access.

    Then you will pine for the days of four octets.
