This is a small chrome extension I wrote in less than 2 hours yesterday. The purpose of this extension is to show the eBay seller's feedback directly inside the search results[1].

I needed it because when buying used items it really helps if you look at the feedback and make sure it is at least above 98% (in my experience). Before you had to open each and every listing and see the ratings.

This extension takes the pain away and it also highlights sellers with 100% feedback with green. Again, it's just a quick hack I made for myself but sharing it here in case someone else using eBay finds it useful.

Comments and suggestions are most welcome!

I had always assumed that protein powder was derived from waste products that were created during other food processing. Why would someone use protein powder when there are other good sources of protein?
This precisely.
I used to buy large quantities of olive oil from an importer a few years back. He worked directly with the producers in Europe and N. Africa and told me about the fraud that happens in the industry. One interesting thing he told me was that the domestics simply don't have enough supply to meet year round demand. So one of the things they would do is buy his imported oil and mix it with theirs to make it last through the year and bottle it as domestic. The lesson for me was that domestic/local doesn't mean more honest...you still have to ask lots of questions to verify.
There is no price "up front" because you get to define the price (the model is taken from Radiohead's release of "In Rainbows", actually). What non-sketchy model do you have for a demo version? We used to make one that simply didn't save your plugin settings, but then realized that users could accidentally destroy an existing session like this. So we switched to "silence after 10 mins; ask for more time; silence after 5 mins; ask for more; silence after 2 mins; ask for more; silence after 1 min; ad infinitum". If you've got a better for how to create a demo copy that has some incentive for the user to change to the full one, I'm all ears.

And as you note, you don't know what the "something that was more sustainable is", whereas I've been doing this for 16 years, and have been through almost every "how to make money with open source" idea that there is. The vast majority don't apply to niche software, even on the odd occasion that they work for some other things.

I've made a living (of some kind) from working on Ardour for nearly 8 years now, and worked on it without need of income for 8 years before that. I think i'm
Signal would be an improvement, but the status of signal as open source, and the details of what you get security wise is not very transparent with all of these new "signal integrations" that open whisper is doing.

Signal is definitely moving things in the right direction but I wish there was more research in this "signal integration" space. Do you know of any research here?
I concur - been using DAW's for decades now, and Ardour out of the box on a newly installed Ubuntu Studio-based system has tons, and tons of plugins - there isn't a single category of plugin in the OP's list that isn't available. You just have to not shop for them, and rather look in the repository, because they're there ..

The "engine" in this case refers to Jim Clark, who spent his career searching for the "new thing", and has intimately shaped the Silicon Valley culture along the way.

Not only he has an interesting life story and created a series of legendary companies - SGI, Netscape, Healtheon/WebMD, myCFO - but, more importantly, helped demonstrate the value created by engineers in new companies, and set out to change the way they are rewarded.

Jim Clark's life is covered in detail in Michael Lewis' "The New New Thing" book [1]. Great read if you're interested in computer history and the early days of the web.

One fascinating part is Pavan Nigam's realization - in the 80's! - that "...the difference between a great software guy and an O.K. software guy is huge. A great software guy is worth 10 times an O.K. software guy".

I know low-income people (living from unemployment benefits) who meet these criteria (thus surely not "highly, incredibly, improbable"). The example with the hacker space was just one illuminating example (though I don't consider it as strange: In the city where I live the hacker space organized some public technology tinkering project in the past). There are of course lots of other ways how you can find people who can explain how to set one up.
yeah.. that's the part that's tough for me. I'm not fat or anything but a few times I've lost 15-20 pounds and been in excellent shape... every time I eventually lose that drive and gain it back.
"They are no substitutes."

What are you basing that on in terms of intended outcome?
That's really cool. Did you ever release it publicly?
Yeah, that's actually kinda my point. A sequel is kinda the same as additional seasons (or episodes) of a TV show. With a TV show, additional seasons are basically assumed unless it doesn't do well with the target market. But movies are sometimes prepared for sequels, and sometimes not. But apparently, sequels (or additional seasons of a show) are the best way to make money. So movie studios have an inherent handicap in that they tend to create episodes (movies) that have to stand alone, whereas TV, if good, will just gain viewership as they create more seasons.

I'm curious too with your number. How often does it take a series until the second or third season to gain notoriety and a large following. I feel like "Breaking Bad" took into the second season to really get a following. There must be other examples.
Except that it takes at least five years from planting an olive tree to where you get any kind of harvest (and longer before you get a "commercially viable" harvest.) So there's a significant lag in there that you might want to consider - it's not like manufacturing shoes or something.
Olive oil was never a health food to begin with. It's about as healthy as sugar water.

Here's another article on it with a less extreme headline: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/most-of-us-are-blissfull...

They say that most olive oil isn't "fake", just lower quality than labelled. However in taste tests, American consumers can't distinguish the higher quality oil, and actually prefer the lower quality stuff.

>Rancidity, for example, isn’t generally a sought after quality in edible products. And yet, when it comes to olive oil in the U.S., people like it. Why? Partly, because rancid olive oil is less bitter than the good stuff. But also, likely because it’s what many of us know and grew up with. It’s what we think olive oil is supposed to taste like

Of course fraudulent labelling is wrong. But if consumers actually prefer it, then it doesn't seem so bad.

Kinda. I just tried it on 3.0.7.

For example, in tab #1, I cd and run a bash script to start a web server process. In tab #2, I split it into two panes, and in #1 run workon to start a virtual environment then start the Python REPL. In pane #2, I run top.

After quitting and restarting, tab #1 returns to the proper directory but with no output. Pane #1 shows previous output and returns the proper directory but without the virtual environment activated. Pane #2 does the same. History seems to be merged across the three which is a bit confusing as well.

It's very hard to falsify something when you can't run experiments and the number of samples is very limited and the subject of your study changes all the time.

Yeah, sure thing: I've seen it happen a few times mostly with companies whose founders I listen to regularly on podcasts. It's almost always tactical growth advice, something that every startup struggles to find early on. Where are our customers hanging out, consuming content, how do we engender trust with them etc.

Basically a founder says something like "We've recently discovered that paying a couple of talented designers to re-purpose our blog content as SlideShare presentations works surprisingly well for."

Companies have tried SlideShare as a means of creating additional distribution around their content marketing. It works for some and doesn't for others. It's basically target market dependent. Some markets have bloggers/curators who will pick up the Slideshare content and embed it on their site. Other target markets don't attach to that kind of content.

So, this founder shares this (and keep in mind Slideshare is just an example, it could be any marketing tactic) and the week after his podcast is released their largest competitor starts publishing content on Slideshare. Maybe their marketing team just decided to run an experiment? If the same thing happens three more times? Eventually that founder is going to start doing a cost-benefit analysis of this particular brand of transparency. He could continue sharing some stuff, their MRR and ARR seem like fair game to me but he probably wants to hold back on being specific about growth tactics.

Back in the day, they used to throw the whey out. It was the curds they wanted for cheese.

Times have definitely changed. Whey is in everywhere, even in oreos. Demand got out of control cerca 2012, which led to all the spiking.

One of the major instant shockwaves to the market was the launch of Gatorade Recovery drinks. And that was on top of the general movement towards high-protein diets (a good thing). Took the market quite a while to recover from that, pardon the pun.

Regarding your question... if you have a high-protein diet, it's a nice convenience to throw a scoop or two in. You ever try to get 225-250g protein per day without using shakes, day in and day out? Gets tiring.

Police can still intercept communications, including mail, phone calls, etc., with classic investigative techniques like bugging a person's home. Then you can see all their passwords, all their emails, their off-line conversations, and so on. Bugging somebody probably reveals more information than security backdoors.

The one big difference between bugging someone's home vs. encryption backdoor is one of scale, and I don't think citizens should so substantially yield their security so that the state can save money.

I think the natural inclination of voters isn't relevant just yet because privacy and encryption are so far down the list of topics of national salience, or topics to organize voters, that it doesn't register on anyone's political radar. If encryption or security backdoors are mentioned on the national stage, it will be entirely as a subtopic of only terrorism.

Erhm, yeah, good luck losing that amount of weight easily and ending up underweight...
i'm taking that into consideration with this design - the hinge parts are separate (10mm high and about 25mm long) so that if those really do get broken you're not looking at a total replacement of all the casework parts.

i'll most likely be 3D printing just these parts alone in Polycarbonate or Nylon just to make absolutely sure they don't break.

the cable i've had to think about quite a lot, and there's now a spacer which keeps it away from sharp edges as the hinge rotates in its socket. last thing you want is a 90 degree turn and the socket to rub continuously against the cable, breaking it within a matter of weeks.

but, man those LVDS cables are thin. a 3.5mm bundle (wrapped in special cloth tape) of 28 wires! just incredible.

anyway, repair and maintenance will be fully documented so that people can sort their machines out. i really don't want these things ending up in landfill.
I don't think that's the point of the project, rather decentralization and breaking free from proprietary data silos.

I understand that you've had some bad experiences with people who also happen to smoke marijuana, but you are painting with much too broad a brush.

You must ask yourself: how accurate are you in your assessment of who smokes marijuana and who doesn't? For some of your tenants, I'm sure it's obvious that they partake. But, I'd wager many of your 'good' tenants do as well, and you have no idea. It's really not hard to hide marijuana use from your landlord. And from what it sounds like, the tenants who don't make any effort to be discrete with their marijuana use are also the tenants who don't care if their car is blocking another car. Perhaps a DGAF attitude would be a better thing for you to screen for than marijuana use.
Fat people are always trying to justify their dangerous lifestyles. Sadly, they get a lot of sympathy here. You, of course, are correct. It is always bad to be overweight.
