Right. The house itself isn't interesting. It's the land + limits on making high rises.

Exactly. I bought the wireless charging case for Qi compatibility. No way I was spending £200 on an Apple branded charger, but wireless charging is a great UX and makes the AirPods feel like a nicer product.

This is not how things work out in practice. Larger payer pools end up paying less, because they have enough market power to force providers to meet cost targets if they want access to the customers in the pool. Medicare famously gets much more out of each dollar it spends than does just about any private insurance provider (see https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20110920.01339...).

A single-payer system just takes this to its logical conclusion and creates a single pool with nearly everybody in it. That pool is so large that only niche providers of extremely high-margin services can survive without access to it, so the single payer has the leverage to drive the rates it pays down to the bone.
Apple will almost certainly allow you to cancel or return without cost. I dont think it will have that much of an actual impact, which is why I doubt that fewer sales are why they chose to announce now.

They were probably more concerned about negative headlines and media coverage leading up to the event when choosing to reveal this information a week after.
The mechanical aspect of this has nothing whatsoever to do with why it wouldn't last for millennia - it's the fact that it's coupled to a resistive load that will dissipate power from the battery much faster than the motor itself uses, and act to brake it over time as the battery voltage drops.

Actually done this twice, once in '10 and again in '16. BIOS issues only came up a few times in some chain cybercafes that were locked down. Never had any problem with the mom in pop cafes that were managed by hand. The rest of the time it was an office, friends/family, hotel, or my own laptop. In those cases, I didn't have to modify any BIOS, it was enough to boot with and pressing Esc, F1, or F12 to brings up the boot menu.

> risk of keyloggers means even if you boot your own OS.

While it's likely the OS of some of the machines I used were infected, the odds of them carrying firmware based backdoors was not a concern. The odds of getting dengue fever were far more likely than a hardware level hack. Those attacks are very hardware specific limiting the potential for widespread infection. At the time Snowden was still fresh on my mind. So I was more concerned with the NSA was sucking down all my emails / cloud data. There is only so much you can do.

Had I been using the OS on the cybercafes, I'm sure my risk of getting keylogged would have been 1000x more than using my own OS on their hardware.

We tried getting an asset backed mortgage recently. There are definitely some options which don't require 20% down, although they tend to have higher APRs.

Even with 20% or more down though, we found it difficult to get a good APR. There was one lender who offered an APR which was comparable to income based mortgages (~4% for 30 year fixed), but their program had very stringent requirements.

IIUC, they took 80% of our taxable assets and 60% of our retirement assets, and assumed that amount would be uniformly depleted over the mortgage term. That model seems extremely pessimistic, but I guess it accounts for the fact that some borrowers won't invest responsibly.

This lender calculated a debt-to-income ratio by dividing the mortgage payments (plus HOA etc.) by the asset depletion income, and required that the ratio be at least 66. I think different programs have different debt-to-income requirements.

So let's say a borrower wanted a $1m mortgage from this program. If it's 30 years fixed at 4%, the total mortgage cost would be ~$1.7m. To reach the 66% debt-to-income with their formula, the borrower would need ~$3.2m of taxable assets, or ~4.3m of retirement assets! That's assuming no other income, no HOA fees, etc.

There are other programs with less stringent requirements, but they seem to have APRs of at least 5%.
Seems uncharitable.

* Apps don't have to know anything about permissions. You just get a blob of data.

Without defining "high quality", that's not a meaningful statement.

I try to refrain from being critical, but some people are good at software engineering, some are good at open source project management, and a few are good at both. The important thing is to recognize your limitations and let others fill in where you're weak. That's all I'll say about that.

I agree that "wanting free stuff with no cost or contribution" is as you put it "wrong". I would like to see what a government-run single payer healthcare system would look like;also, raise my taxes to cover this. rough math says the government would need to increase my taxes by over 10% for the increase in taxes to equal my current premiums.

Right now we pay more for healthcare than other countries because our system is so flawed. we pay more for both services and the same exact prescriptions that other countries do. I work for a healthcare system and the amount of charity care and unpaid medicare bills are astronomical. If your'e interested I can share a publicly published report that breaks this down. These are also part of the reason that we pay so much more, the people that actually pay need to make up the cost for those that don't.

on top of that, medical claims processing and billing is overly complicated, time consuming, and expensive due to multiple insurers.

My premiums to have my family covered are almost as much as my rent. ( disclaimer: i live in a state with a very affordable housing market)
Funny you should mention that. Hi-vac turbo-molecular pumps often use maglev bearings. This is the pump that takes a chamber from low vacuum (like 1 torr) to high vacuum (like 1e-6 torr). It's a turbine that resembles a small jet engine.

>Some (many?) people conflate “wireless” and “over-the-air” charging.

Probably doesn't help to name your product "AirPower".
Qi charging used to be a useful thing, but much less available now.

It doesn't need to fast charge with risk of heat, it's already very useful if it charges at a regular speed whenever you put the device on it, e.g. on your desk...

I have the Studio Neat Material dock which charges all three (Airpods via lightning) and it's pretty convenient.

Nomad has a new Base Station that can change multiple Qi devices plus an Apple Watch as well.

Basically at this point there are a lot of alternatives on the market, and some of them are actually nicer because they hold the Watch up in the right orientation for Nightstand mode and work with loop style bands.

I just want something that gives me maximum privacy without compatibility issues. I run into websites every week that just don't render elements or clickable links in firefox with my current extensions (looking at you, barclays).

The only privacy extensions I use are cookie autodelete, decentraleyes, and ublock origin with default settings (the super private settings broke more websites than not, and I gave up making dozens of exceptions), and google and FB containers.

I'm considering dropping google container too, very annoying clicking a link opens a tab in the default container and closes the google one, so I have to shift cmd tab through all my recently closed tabs or dig through history instead of hitting back to return to the results.

It's like either you let your guard down or make navigating around the web insufferable.
There isn't a specific downside. AirPower was an attempt to add additional functionality by letting you just dump stuff on the charging mat, while all current charging pads require one device per section and a specific orientation.
I had thought that fighter jets used more specific aluminum alloys than titanium, but I found this on the f-35 specifically (Bruce Tanner is Lockheed Martin's CFO):

"Tanner says Lockheed uses more aluminum than steel on its aircraft projects, which in addition to the F-35, include the C-130 cargo plane, and F-16 fighter. And the F-35 uses more titanium than aluminum and steel, he said. "

Why is that important?

If someone is going to draw a gun and fire on you, then you're a bit less than 1 second away from dying. If there was a scream, then the police officer was put into a situation where he was led to believe there was a good chance of this happening, then was subjected to an alarming stimulus, then had to make a split second life or death decision.

The fact that the above scenario can happen, resulting from a crank phone call, indicates there is something very, very wrong. Too much power is being made available to the behest of unchecked assertions.

Apparently, even the Chinese supply chain thought this product was going to go into production, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, whose sources inside Apple's supply chain are impeccable.

However, good for Apple.

They need to be more willing to say this product isn't good enough, and stop listening to those who say they are too secretive.

They had a good thing going when they didn't comment on products under development (or even acknowledge that they were under development) until they were ready to ship them.
That might be true, but they could at least acknowledge that the multi-device version is not ready and provide a first-party option in the meantime.

So? It's perfectly possible for you to be in a different testing bucket. Don't assume what you see is what everybody sees, and that they are just interpreting it differently than you do. I might as well say "nah, you only think you see videos from multiple ideologies".
They call it censorship because that is the correct word for what the platforms are doing.

Censorship does not require it being done by the government or be morally or legally wrong.
"Apple cancels AirPower product, citing inability to meet its high standards for hardware"

Apple claiming high quality standards for their hardware doesn't feel right; When I can't trust buying a laptop from them, in fear that it was won't "just work" for the next six months.
> There has to be something that caused this abrupt cancellation.

Well, there is no way of getting 30W wirelessly (to the device side) without a lot of heat.

I guess someone thought they could solve this with smarter power management (and per the John Gruber article this was an issue last year, or even before) but it frankly it does not seem possible (unless Apple discovered room temperature superconductors).

It seems the design teams might have some people (higher ups) thinking too much about design and too little about if things are really possible given the constraints of a consumer product (typical MBA BS motivational pushes asides).

But it seems they managed to save face before another poor product would hit the shelves.
Even if it seems high, you get a lot more for the money.

$1700 will get you a luxury 1bd (600+sqft), new/recent construction, a pool, bbqs, "sky lounge", 5-20 minute walk to work, and so on.

From what I can tell, it takes more than that just to get into a shitty box in SF.
I wish we could get some kind of writeup or interview from the RF engineers who worked on Airpower. Overlapping charging coils have been dreamed of pretty much since the origin of induction charging but there must be tons and tons of issues we can't even think of. I'd love to hear their stories.
>relatively small

But I think part of grandparents point was that there enough people willing to meet the price that sellers aren't left with an unsold home, meaning that relatively large numbers of people if you consider it relative to the number of homes for sell. You could use a different measure for the relativity, but the ones I considered (for all of two minutes) don't seem as informative as the one grandparent used.

It has been argued many times that video games desensitize kids to violence & lead to violence. By your logic we would ban videos of call of duty as well.

And your second point is you believe youtube videos are leading to people voting for an undesirable candidate. Why not just ban political conversation altogether? This way we can ensure people vote for pre-approved candidates.
A bit of historical legacy from NFS workstations, where it was useful to have root and swap local* (for speed), but /usr common across many workstations. Those separations kind of became habit.

*Of course it was possible to have root and swap on NFS as well (for truly diskless).
Well, they kind of have to since it's the only standard that that has products you can actually buy.

It's great that they avoided fragmenting the market. Even if AirPower was great at this point it's way late to the market, and compatibility would be a constant headache for years. I'm ok with Apple throwing in the towel here and just using the damn standard.

They typically charge devices slower than the wired approach and I find it is sometimes hard to place a phone in just the right spot where it charges.

What Apple was doing that was hard, was to charge multiple devices at a time on a single pad without having set locations.

That is not remotely related. Having a mat with two or three separated coils for phones is really easy to do. You basically just glue a few of these together.

AirPower was intended to have basically an entire surface of charging pixels. You could place phones, watches, AirPods, and combos of those on the mat in any orientation. There was also no sweetspot.

By attemping to make inductive charging mats work really well, Apple ran into some big tech contraints.
