The new wireless charging case looks like the older one, but you can now charge it on a Qi-compatible charging mat.

> Amazon managed to get $2.3 million per job out of the State of Texas.

That $2.3mm number ignores the 2,500 jobs and $200mm in capital investments that Amazon agreed to pay to wave off the $269mm in uncollected sales tax. [1] They've actually gone above and beyond those numbers (3,500 jobs and $300mm invested as of 2014) in addition to actually paying sales tax in the state, which yielded another $327mm in sales tax revenue just from 2012-2014.[2] So discounting the tax revenue that they're now receiving, Texas paid $16,571 for each of those 3,500 jobs.

It's actually pretty interesting to see these donations come in. No one would ever give $0.0001 to a crowdfunding campaign but we're seeing a lot of micro donations on the scale of 10-20 doges.
