    Could it be that it’s using less power as it charges? ie automatically shuts off power hungry features while charging?

    Good data is so hard to get.

    What I’d actually care about is how many minutes of usage does 30 minutes of charging get me in both standard and ekeing out as much life as I can mode.



  • I’d probably start designing and building a rolling ball clock/ sculpture, then hit some sort of obstacle and switch to making a self recirculating eddy current tube, get frustrated and try to design and build an electronically commutated counter rotating propeller driver, get frustrated and try to build a garage sized 3d printer, get frustrated and try to build a delayed action door closer get frustrated and try to build a co-planar compound cycloidal reducer, get frustrated and then forget my wife’s anniversary until 4pm the day before.


  • The idea behind tariffs is to increase the prices of imports so that domestic production can compete. Higher prices are definitely the point, but the idea is that at least with domestic production the price increases get circulated back into the domestic economy as jobs/wages. But, if the domestic economy can increase production without increasing wage expenditure then the money from the higher prices just goes to the shareholders.

    If it’s something for which there is no domestic production, it’s just a tax, and it should become a question of what does money from the tariffs get used for… probably taxcuts for the rich.














  • That’s pretty much my understanding too, but I’d like to point out that conscripted labor is pretty analogous to a tax. My contemplation on the subject:

    I think equitable taxes are good when the revenue is used for things that benefit society.

    I don’t know how equitably the labour was conscripted.

    I don’t think enormous pyramids are good for society, but on the other hand I don’t know how ancient Egyptian workers would have felt about the topic.

    I suspect that the Pharoahs weren’t very concerned about how the workers felt about the topic.
