The president of the United States is almost 80. Bernie Sanders is 83. The Stones are still touring, …
Ed Thorpe is well into his 90s. Here’s an interview with him at 89. Seems quite healthy: https://youtu.be/CNvz91Jyzbg?si=VNj61A256ZOBM977

Mentioning the president is a bit like saying the pope is old. They are both selected/elected old.
> Virgin Islands
Denmark tried to offhand the islands multiple times.
"The islands were eventually sold to the United States for $25 million ($613,570,000 in 2024) which took over the administration on 31 March 1917 and renamed the territory the United States Virgin Islands."

The controversy is more how it got in the hands of Denmark in the first place.

Humans are cheaper than robots too...
Only if you don't need to pay them a living wage.

How does the robot assess whether there is enough space available in each bin?
It also stowed the other items, and know how much space they take up.
From the article:
> “When you’re a person doing this task, you’ve got a buffer of 20 or 30 items, and you’re looking for an opportunity to fit those items into different bins, and having to remember which item might go into which space. But the robot knows all of the properties of all of our items at once, and we can also look at all of the bins at the same time along with the bins in the next couple of pods that are coming up. So we can do this optimization over the whole set of information in 100 milliseconds.”

It's not Mitsubishi's fault if people buy their products without doing some cursory research and analysis about suitability.
How would a “cursory research” reveal that they are lying in their online material?
