PARETO GOT IT WRONG

Pareto got it wrong with his
Eighty-twenty, that ratio that
Was a cornerstone of modern
Management taught to countless
Masters of Business Administration
Who went on to mismanage
Businesses and other people’s
Lives. One percent of the world’s
Inhabitants now owns ninety
Percent of its resources, and
That one percent continues to
Fan the flames of inequality and
Class conflict.

Whether the ball struck by Shohei Ohtani would have cleared the right-field wall at the Tokyo Dome if some fans hadn’t reached over…

Eigentlich hatte ich für den heutigen Trans* Day of Visibility ein paar Aktionen beim FC St. Pauli geplant, aber leider muss alles verschoben werden.

Dafür hier nochmal mein Interview beim @MillernTon und die neue Seite von Vielfalt im Stadion.

They signed Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki. They struck advertising deal…

#AliExpress / cheap #Chinese goods / #questionable sellers, part 37:

1. Order #rechargeable 3-speed folding desk #fan.
2. Receive different version of same fan - no #electronics, no #battery, just a USB lead, it runs at one speed when plugged in, unplug it to turn off.
3. File "item not as described" ticket with photos clearly showing it's the wrong item.
4. AliExpress rejects ticket, the human who spent 0.3s reviewing it didn't read it and just clicked "#reject".
5. Edit #photos, adding big red "NO BATTERY HERE -->" and "NO ELECTRONICS HERE -->" etc and resubmit ticket.
6. AliExpress accepts claim this time. Get refund.
7. Place order for same rechargeable fan from different #seller.
8. Receive fan. #Charge. Give to partner.

"It turns off after a few seconds", she says.

Take it apart. Examine the circuit board, #probe it various ways, all looks good. #Measure #voltages. Manually #power the fan and see it draws half an #amp. See the suspiciously undersized lithium-ion #cell and think "they didn't just #cheap out so much that the thing doesn't work, did they?"...

Yup. The plastic casing has a slot & tabs arrangement inside sized for an 18650 cell, but they've got a much smaller cell in there with some padding to keep it in place. It's a 14500.

When the fan's on, the load is too much for the cell. The voltage drops enough that the little 3-speed management #chip thinks the cell is flat, and it turns off.

Put in a good 18650, runs like a charm.

Sheesh.
