We've got torque-based break drives, color-based OCR, and super-tiny pressure sensors to match the torque-break drives for finer degree of control and less chance of damaging the harvested product, plus extendable arms and such.
Strap all of that to a bucket and battery on wheels and send it out into the fields.
Will work with any fruit of a different color than the surrounding vegetation, so add strawberries, raspberries, mulberries, grapes of varying cultivars, apples, oranges, tomatoes, peppers, and more to the list.
"Are you paying payroll tax, are you paying their Social Security taxes. Medicare? No, you are doing none of those when you hire a plumber"
Actually, I *AM* paying for those. Or do you not know what payment for services rendered means? The employee can pay their own taxes into SS, Medicare, etc. I'm still giving them the money, so I'm still paying for their stuff.
IC status just shifts the accounting burden from employer to employee. Employer is still ultimately paying those taxes.
Contractors set their own desired hours or work, FYI. I set my hours today from 8AM-5PM. Tomorrow, they'll be 8PM-4PM, ENTIRELY MY DECISION. The company or entity that hired me has no real say in that.
"So when you hire a plumber to fix a leak in your house, you want that plumber to be your employee?"
Are you fucking dense? I *HIRED* them to do a job. Yes, they are my employee.
"What if you hire a plumber to fix a leak in your business?"
If the plumbing fucks up in any unreasonable amount of time, they have a warranty or guarantee. That makes them MY EMPLOYEE but only by specific terms which must be met in order to invoke the ability to call upon said employee for service.
"There's a reason we have the notion of "independent contractors"."
Purely for monetary reasons and no other, with a focus on corporate tax evasion.
If Canonical truly is fucking with 'community-intended' money, then they need to be taken to task. FTC, SEC, and a couple other alphabet agencies should be taking a close look at Canonical.
"and you seem to have no idea what people mean when they talk about the near field"
You're not paying any fucking attention to the conversation. Near-Field in this context means radio and I am ENTIRELY CORRECT - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Try again when you can actually comprehend the fucking conversation taking place, nimrod.
"Sure, but that loss isn't due to any inverse square law, is it?"
A good deal of that loss is inverse square (or inverse cube in the case of omnidirectional transmission.) Doesn't matter if you're doing millimeters, centimeters, inches, whatever. Whatever you're getting at 2mm distance is half (or less) what you'd get at 1m distance. That's how great the inverse dropoff effect is.
"For the small amount of power required I feel 10% efficiency is acceptable."
When it comes to SPL, your efficiency means nothing. We're still dealing with sonic ranges, here. For you to get enough sound energy to charge your wireless phone in an hour inside of a room, the ultrasonic energy would be such that it would fuck with you if you spent more than ten minutes in proximity to it.
How acceptable is it when your brain and hearing is getting turned to shit? 7 watts at audible ranges is enough to make you deaf from SPL.
"have you ever used a fully automatic weapon? hint, they are worthless for hitting anything after the first round,"
Yea, maybe 50 fucking years ago.
Even today's fully-automatic AA-12 can be accurate ONE HANDED because it's got very little recoil. A 5-year old can maintain control over the gun whilst unloading 12-gauge slugs with near-reckless abandon.
" I agree, beginning on September 1, 2009 and continuing for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately thereafter, to provide assistance and to make myself reasonably available to SunTrust and its employees, attorneys and/or accountants with respect to investigations, audits, litigation or potential litigation regarding matters in which I have been involved in the course of my employment with SunTrust or any subsidiary and/or about which I have knowledge as a result of my employment with SunTrust."
It's well past 24 months after Sept 1, 2009. Clause therefore nullifies itself.
Most likely useless against a harmonic order attack like this. All you're doing here is fooling the phone into thinking the radio signal being shoved down the microphone wire is an audio signal. Low pass filter, as long as you're on a proper harmonic frequency, it'll still go through.
Imagine rolling through Times Square on New Years. Omnidirectional antenna on a micro version of this, get in the middle of the crowd, pwn everyone using wired headsets with a microphone, instant cellular botnet, and since you're not issuing commands from a cell phone or through the cellular network, you're not going to be traceable through that system.
You are effectively an invisible and untouchable attacker/control/command server. All you do is issue the command in a quick burst and go silent.

I'll take my $250K, now.

Learn what a W9 is, nimrod.
I didn't pay for or do shit.
Especially when I know HOSTs is fucking useless in the first place.
Your shit HOSTs didn't protect my boyfriend from having his Steam hijacked.
Can you even claim effectiveness in your product with truth?
Because 5TB of hosed shit says otherwise.

And you're not pressing your local DA/AG to get something done?
No wonder you're getting raped.
Go re-read those rules and regs, they've changed in this last year, sonny-boy.
Dingdingding!
The cellular providers need to be dragged into this as well, as the scent of collusion is very strong in this case.

No, the spring/gas system in the stock eats up the recoil. Learn how yours guns are constructed.

"Even if it does in a technical sense, the distance between transmitter and receiver is very small."
Induction charging, even at its best, is only about 40% efficient and that's practically touching coils together.
"This thing is less powerful than other youtube handheld rail guns"
Your 5 joules PALES IN COMPARISON to 1800 joules this does.
So, no, you're wrong. Try again when you can actually read the fucking article and do the math yourself.

Going through the SF repository for eFast, I have a name of one Mr. Isarith Mahappu K, of No: 15, Chapel Terrace, Stafford, ST163AH.
Last time I can see that property for sale on the market was 14 Dec, 2007. Odds are it is still owned, probably by this same person.
There's more information than there should be, that's for sure.
http://sourceforge.net/project... - check that out. Odds are we can find this person VERY EASILY.
Also possibly involved accounts (from checking other contributors to other projects listed from the originally-linked account):

Just push enough power to it. Burst transmissions aren't that difficult to achieve.

Use BlueTooth headphones/headsets.
I think that would be Al Jazeera as the least biased.
