I thought the same thing.

I did a tour of the Cabot cheese factory in Vermont, and they have a fixed arm palletizing cheese wheel cartons. It looked a lot more reliable than these robots and seemed to have fewer moving parts.
The wireless charger is a better experience than putting a cable in your phone in my opinion, but the dock they used to include in the box is a far better than both.

It was simple to put your phone in (as opposed to a cable that might fall off the table or move around), and kept the phone facing you making it easy to interact with while charging (unlike the wireless charger).

But at some point they probably figured out they could save 20 cents by selling it separately.

In 1959, A 707 variant had design issue similar to 737MAX (1992) [audio]
I wonder if there was sufficient institutional memory to consider this during the 737MAX certification.

In a 1992 recorded interview David P. Davies -- chief pilot of the UK Air Registration Board (ARB) from the 1950's through 1970's -- described a problem during certification of a new 707 variant that is remarkably similar to the recent 737MAX issue.

Fascinating full set of interviews at the main site if you have time to listen to them:

https://soundcloud.com/aerosociety-podcast/sets
(scroll down to "An Interview With...", and scroll that list for "The D. P. Davies Interview", #'s 19, 18, 17, 16)

Summary: 707-330C variant added leading-edge devices to the wing that caused center of lift to move forward at high Angle of Attack, increasing the pitching moment and reducing the stick forces. Even though the stall behavior was fairly benign, Davies refused to certify it against broad opposition from the airline customers, Boeing, and even his own management in the ARB.

A significant part of his argument was (what I now know as) "Normalization of Deviance". They "solved" it by adding a stick pusher to "nudge" the yoke forward in certain conditions.

I can slap my phone down on the charger next to my bed in the dark. I can grab my phone off the charger on my desk at work with one hand. Before wireless charging, it wasn't much hassle, and I only rarely had trouble with my phone battery dying. Now it's almost no hassle, and I never have trouble with my battery dying. It's just a nice quality-of-life boost.

No idea what that means
I notice you didn’t link to studies regarding bioperterbation. If you look into that topic, you’ll find evidence that topsoil is created far faster than we thought even 40 years ago.

I suspect the bigger problem isn’t the rate we deplete topsoil, and more the way we farm doesn’t encourage the biodiversity within the soil to encourage new topsoil formation. Though I admit this may boil down to a po-tay-to, po-tah-to distinction...
Yes, that breaks it. Integer overflows are not handled right now.

Glad to hear you are growing, but just so you know you are getting a reputation for over-promising and under-delivering. In the last thread that was over 2 weeks ago, you promised the online playground in 2 days. It wasn't 2 days [1]. In this reddit thread you promised it in 3 hours [2]. It wasn't 3 hours.

Look, you don't owe anybody anything, and that's fine. Just don't make promises you can't keep. If you're not going to have something done in 2 days, don't say it'll be done in 2 days. Just say "you'll get it when you get it" and that's an absolutely fine response. But promising something in hours or days and missing that deadline will lead reasonable people to take your claims with a huge grain of salt.

All I'm saying is you've made some very big claims, so now you might want to master the fine art of setting expectations or risk making people lose interest in your project when you finally release a compiler.

I can only assume that you are intentionally trolling at this point. What you’re doing is wrong. Making misleading claims to make people think you’re competing at the same level as industrial languages built by teams of doctorates in PL and engineers who have spent years studying compilers to sell something you haven’t even open sourced yet is really scummy. You're trivializing the 99% of the work that is required to build a production language and taking people's money through Patreon to fund the continuation of this charade.
The handiest place to have one, IME, is not at home but at work: you can leave it on the pad for most of the workday but always pick it up right when you need it and not have to worry about fiddling with the cable. Especially when the phone gets a couple years old and you need midday charges for it to last through the day.

It's not a vital feature, but since decent chargers are only like $25, why not?
How about changing the bill so that men have to wear exactly the same thing that they force their women to wear? Or else no one gets to wear any religious symbols.

Because I think, subconsciously, that what makes me bananas about religious symbols is not the symbols themselves, but the gender-inequality with which they are applied.

Muslim coverings are a very thinly-disguised misogyny. Same with kippahs and the stuff they force nuns to wear.

I support very strongly people's right to wear a symbol of any ridiculous, half-assed, imaginary bullshit that some shithead told them about and they believed on zero evidence.

But when it is a symbol of unequal treatment of women, of subjugation, of silent misery, it makes me angry to see it because it is not consistent with the equal rights that I associate with our country.

That, if only subconsciously, is where this is probably coming from.
This is a fairly fundamental difference between how machines operate and how people operate. People can evaluate and communicate, and it is very inhuman to sit at the intersection with your blinker on while the person who has right of way is frantically waving you on because of some reason. And while you would fail your driving test if you did accept permission to proceed, the reality is it is known and accepted and expected that people will adjust in more normal situations. To the point I recall being explicitly warned of this exact situation before taking my test. And I recall that because it actually happened during my exam, and I was amused at the uncomfortable feelings as I kept my hands on the wheel and ignored the adult giving the young novice permission to go while they rummaged in their glove compartment.

I do agree that self driving cars should wait until appropriate conditions are met, because they can't make rational decisions. I think while there are mixed self-driving and human driven cars on the road, there will need to be some sort of visible differentiation for cars running in autonomous mode, because they are never going to react the same as humans unless we teach them to react as badly as humans ;)

I suppose it depends on the setup of the business so I shouldn't make a blanket statement that S-Corps are more work for everyone. For me specifically, after 13 years with standard LLCs, it's definitely more work. The bulk of it being the initial setup, but there is still quite a few additional monthly tasks.

- The change to a W-2 employee for my partner and I meant setting up a proper accountable plan for expense reimbursement. So submitting expenses to the company, recording proof of purchase, etc. and that being processed as non-taxable income via payroll.

- We had to switch from our individual SEP IRAs and setup a Solo 401K. Not a huge deal to set up, but definitely more work as contributions on the employee and employer side are both done manually every month for each of us.

- Instead of a single check per month now there is compensation via payroll and I have to separately calculate and process the distributions for each of us afterward.

- HSA and medial insurance reimbursement is a total pain. We use Gusto and we have to have them make a manual adjustment to the W-2s at the end of the year in order for them to accurately reflect this reimbursement as it can't run through the accountable plan and their system cannot properly process this type of reimbursement. I actually had to have them issue my W-2 3x this year because they did it wrong the first two times. This is another perk of the S-Corp that I forgot to mention earlier though as healthcare reimbursements are counted as W-2 income, but are not subject to FICA taxes. So that increases the income eligible for contribution to the 401K without FICA being paid on it. $7,000 is the 2019 limit for HSA (for a family) and the health insurance is whatever it is in addition to that.

- The setup was definitely a major hassle for me. We had to register with various city and state agencies even though we are exempt from many of those taxes as owner/employees. It took us around six weeks in total to set all of this up.

- One last addition. In order to divert more pre-tax dollars into investments I hired my wife to help part time to work enough to max out her employee contribution to her 401K and then the company adds 25% to that since all employees must have the same employer contribution through a solo 401K. That's not specific to an S-Corp, but it is a good way to save another chunk of pre-tax money for those that are married and in a position to do so.
Young glass frogs taking to trees at the Taipei Zoo
Strange, the most obvious benifit of having lots of coils while would be to selectively use only the ones directly in the optimal location for charging so the charger - device coil relationship is still 1 to 1, I don't think any electrical engineer would think a M to N setup would be practical.

I think it's the combination of slow charging and as the article said; heat production, - and the physical design the charging 'station' requires to account for these problems. A lot of the current 'fast' wireless charging solutions seem to have fans or a design than can dissapate a lot of heat. A flat mat charging multiple devices would need to either have a fan or a hefty heat sink to dissapate all that heat. Apple's very picky about the physical aestetic of their products which throws out a lot of designs that include visable heat sinks and/or grills.

Also, if I'm not completely out of the loop, Apple devices tend to excel (relatively) at battery life making wireless charging, likely, an even more niche product for their devices.

TLDR, once again Apple's aestetic requirements and the currently, relatively niche market of wireless charging make an Apple manufactured (not just branded like Google might do) a poor product to invest time and capital on and is unlikely to impress share holders.
The two benefits from the wireless charger: 1) you dont wear out the usb port 2) I have the charger next to my bed. You can pick a phone at night to check anything and put it back without looking for a cable - much less mental and eye strain when you're half asleep.
Where on your site? Where does it actually talk about how your compiler works in detail and the optimizations it’s running?
Bag randomizers are a modern thing, imposed by the Tetris company on all Tetris games released for the last couple decades. Classic Tetris almost universally used a standard rng, sometimes with some memory mechanism to attempt to prevent runs (ie. Remember the last piece and attempt a reroll N times to get a non duplicate piece. I believe nestris used a 1 piece memory).

You were definitely not guaranteed to get an I piece in any particular number of drops in any Tetris released in the 80s afaik. I think bag randomizers came about in Tetris worlds
Though I think I made it clear that MSNBC is not extreme left-wing, I didn't make it clear that their juxtaposing of MSNBC's centre-left political platform with the platform of PragerU is wrong, and I perhaps initially misconstrued their comment.

PragerU has hardline-conservative positions on climate-change, abortion, religion, immigration, and economics that are certainly more deserving of being called extreme than MSNBC is deserving of being called left.

If being held accountable for what you said 10 years ago were something new (it isn't) then Zuckerberg would only have himself to blame for ushering such a social change (however he's not to blame for it.

Is that not something many people can do one-handed?

The last time I had any trouble doing that one-handed was in the era of proprietary inch-wide charge connectors.
I think the real point is the eventual removal of the port altogether.

If you can sync your phone over Wifi, stream to audio over Bluetooth, and reliably and quickly charge wirelessly, then you can remove the port altogether allowing for thinner, more robust, more water resistant designs. It's probably also cheaper to boot.

That's the wireless future that I imagine Apple was/maybe still is imagining.
I agree totally. Not to mention that wireless charging uses about 40% more power. Which for charging phones is a small amount until you think of every person on the planet charging their phone every day.
I imagine people in your life also hold you accountable for things you did 20 years ago. Your actions define you and people remember.
You claim your language will support it before having it ready. So C++ appears to be easy enough for you, in order to be able to predict such a feature.
Yeah well that stat isn't relevant because that's not the rate I actually pay. Literally couldn't care less what others pay. All stats are local.

> It's a pity that Apple lets license politics outweigh technological excellence in the software it chooses to ship.

Is there much else they could do? Don't see how Apple could reasonably ship GPL code...
It’s still easy to point at prop 13. It prevents all manner of people from moving or do other things so they can keep the current tax rate. I would love to move from our smallish home, but our current effective tax rate is 0.70% dropping since we purchased 5 years ago. Our property tax would practically double if we moved so best we can do is expand the home. But in doing this I have now priced my smaller home into a bigger home taking it out of reach of someone wanting a smaller home.

> unless it doesn't result in real discrimination?

It's incredibly naive to think that "hav[ing] a racist point of view" wouldn't result in "real discrimination" out in the world.

Here's something relevant from William Cliffor'd "Ethics of Belief":

> I shall surround myself with a thick atmosphere of falsehood and fraud, and in that I must live. It may matter little to me, in my cloud-castle of sweet illusions and darling lies; but it matters much to Man that I have made my neighbours ready to deceive.
No belief held by one man, however seemingly trivial the belief, and however obscure the believer, is ever actually insignificant or without its effect on the fate of mankind, we have no choice but to extend our judgment to all cases of belief whatever. Belief, that sacred faculty which prompts the decisions of our will, and knits into harmonious working all the compacted energies of our being, is ours not for ourselves, but for humanity.
> While the United Nations and NGOs are pushing for global judicialization of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCRs), little is known of their consequences. We provide evidence of the effects of introducing three types of ESCRs into the constitution: the rights to education, health, and social security. Employing a large panel covering annual data from 160 countries in the period 1960–2010, we find no robust evidence of positive effects of ESCRs. We do, however, document adverse medium‐term effects on education, inflation, and civil rights.
