Comment Bolt is better than Uber - try them for free! (Score -1, Offtopic) 85

I use Bolt and find them better than Uber.

In the UK they have a growing number of drivers and they are currently offering incentives to both drivers and passengers to start using their service.

Feel free to use my invite code HYGW5L and get a free Bolt trip up to £10. Redeem it at https://invite.bolt.eu/HYGW5L

Submission + - Lithium-ion batteries that last a lifetime (computerworld.com)

Socguy writes: A typical Lithium-ion battery breaks down badly between 5000-7000 cycles. Researchers at the University of California may have discovered a simple way to build a Lithium battery that can withstand 100,000+ cycles.

This was a serendipitous discovery as the researcher was playing around with the battery and coated it in a thin gel layer. The researchers believe the gel plasticizes the metal oxide in the battery and gives it flexibility, preventing cracking.

It does seem like a lot. In 2012 someone ran a scaper on tpb to grab all of their magnet links, it came in at under 100MB compressed. Of course this didn't include the comments or the .torrent files. https://torrentfreak.com/downl... The torrent is available at https://thepiratebay.se/torren...

Same here! I thought this was going to be about Gnome-Do which I stopped using a long time ago in favour of Synapse.

I agree to some extent, however, in reality, with credit cards offering cashback and other rewards, it works out costing me less to use a credit card than it would to use cash. I hate that Visa and MC are getting rich from this but by protesting and stopping use of my card while everyone else carries on, I end up subsidising their discounts. The only way I can see to get around this would be for everyone to protest together or for all merchants to implement credit card surcharges.
