They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won't increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don't.

Oops, wrong channel. The video is actually by Not Cool, Noah.

More comfortable is just another way of saying less uncomfortable. Yes, the topic is uncomfortable but less so.

I usually avoid a double negative as it makes sentences slightly more difficult to interpret but I get why I probably should have gone with it this time.

Oh, questionably consensual advances in step-incest porn? That's way more normal than I thought given your comment. Idk if I’m desensitized or the humorous ~~NileRed~~ Not Cool Noah video made the topic feel more comfortable.

I know what step response is but I don't get the joke. Is this a pun or reference?

They are also used as parking ticket machines (in Europe we don't have parking meters, you buy a ticket and display it on the dashboard, or in some places get a virtual ticket for your license plate). I don't think the company exports these outside the Czech Republic, and Euro coins are not magnetic. So I’m afraid you'll have to find another magnet-related exploit (maybe this)?

Here is a datasheet of one / photo. I don't have the video of me fishing coins, I probably deleted it because it was unwatchable (it's hard to fish coins while filming covertly!) but about 5 coins fit into the space behind the keyhole before they start being visible. The front panel is non-magnetic, unlike CZK coins, and the sound of fishing them out is very similar to throwing them in, so there is little suspicion unless you are at the wrong-gender toilet. Unfortunately, 10 CZK coins take effort to jam into the slot, so almost only coins up to 5 CZK ($0.25) get accidentally thrown in. Still, pays for my bus home.

A common public toilet till machine has a keyhole that looks like a coin slot. Turns out, HDD magnets are the perfect shape to fish out any coins mistakenly thrown in there.

Ever been to a factory?

I don't think it's productive to try replicating the human hand accurately enough to do most manual tasks, especially with very different technology like servos, actuators and pneumatics. If we ever get there, the resulting product will be very expensive and still less capable than purpose-built robots. Why buy a $1M humanoid robot that can split logs with your existing $20 axe when fully automated splitters cost tens of thousands?

It is very difficult to make a robotic hand that can operate a screwdriver. If the robot only ever needs to perform one task on an assembly line, just build it with the tools as part of it. Of course, some modularity helps to retool the plant for another product but there are very few cases where a robot needs the versatility of the human hand (maybe bomb defusal?) or body.

Why do people keep thinking robots in factories should imitate our physique? Especially legs as opposed to wheels?
