> most of these people ate out rarely, mostly eating healthier from their lunch boxes

Yes to 'eat out rarely' definitely was like that (even in the 60's). But more importantly food wasn't prepared at home to make you want to eat more of it than you needed to (the average person). Things were done by mom and not enhanced in a way to make you overeat. Very important and often overlooked.

> Science is no longer interested in explanations, correlation is enough to assume causal "contribution."

Cite? Some journalism about science, perhaps, but your brush is broad enough to be absurd at best.
How about stop the development? The fact that you can break the paywall (easily) doesn't give you the right to do it. Current laws (in that country) state that it's ilegal, so why do you insist in doing it?

As an entrepreneur in this space, I'd be okay with 20%. The issue is the current thresholds. I'd want it to be 20% over $1M not $50M. Around a million it starts being worth it to handle credit card processing, chargebacks etc.
Brick and mortar stores pay about $45 for a $60 dollar game, and have additional bonuses for sales targets.

Some larger publishers operate on a different scheme similar to the large DIY and big box stores in which they “rent” shelf space, pay for promotional services and share a smaller percentage of each sale revenue.

A lot of times there are other restrictions such as game stores need approval for things like unofficial bundles e.g. if they want to bundle a specific game with a console outside of officially branded promotional bundles.

I think the big problem with Steam at least as far as big publishers go isn’t that they charge 30% this is about the same as other channels but that the big publishers have their own distribution platforms atm.

If you buy an EA, Activision or Ubisoft game on Steam atm you don’t download it from Steam you’ll download it from the Publisher via their own client.

Granted they caused this problem to themselves by trying to compete with Steam but they still bare the majority of the cost these days.

Ideally, it would hasten society’s realization that the flow of information should not be subjected to capitalism.

Sometimes it's the combination that's the problem, though that can often be worked around with IVF.
Harmful changes can and should be fought. Journalism plays a vital role in democracies. Journalism is expensive. Someone needs to pay for it.
This is also called "renting a car". I permanently rent a car from Enterprise. They have a different price bracket if you pay monthly. I happen to pay for the full damage waiver, but if you don't get that (which is more comparable to these services) then the result seems very similar. (I just realized someone else left a comment like this, but I think the damage waiver part of it is very relevant.)
Your first paragraph reads a bit crazy and I imagine that's why you're being downvoted, but as you're expanding your idea in the second paragraph I think you might have a point.
Serious question: isn’t this what services like PayPal are for? Along with customer service services. Certainly not trivial, but it seems doable.

So I'm assuming the news of what the people you voted for get to you via... diffusion?

You should sue your school for the permanent damage they did. Both in terms of grammar as well as history.

In any case: if journalism is so useless, why are you jumping through hoops to read it?
Imagine getting dressed up to go to a bowling alley. We are such bums these days.
Oh nice to know the thing about the SIM cards!

Regarding your question, I recall reading a paper which compared both cases: the office owning the whole infrastructure, and one in which it is rented/outsourced to an established MNO. While the paper suggested that both use-cases are plausible, in practice your preference is likely to vary depending on local regulation and use-case (e.g. latency requirements etc.).
The US didn't have a meaningful problem with obesity until ~1990 forward.

If you look at high school yearbook photos from the 1980s, almost all the people were thin. These are young persons that should have high metabolisms and high rates of activity, so you'd expect that. That thinness changed noticeably and rapidly through the 1990s. I went to high school in the 1990s and could see that shift very plainly during the decade.

All childhood age range obesity was typically about 5% until the early 1980s. Now the combined average is around 15%

From 1960 to 1980 adult obesity was typically 12% to 15%. Today that would nearly qualify as the thinnest country in the developed world (only Japan, South Korea and Singapore beat it now). From 1980 to 1990 it went up five or six points. By 2000 it had doubled (since the early 1980s) to ~30%. So approximately a doubling of the obesity rate in 15-20 years. Contrast 1980 US at ~15% obesity, with present day Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland which are all considered fairly thin at ~20% obesity rates.

Criminals don't perform a useful service for society. Journalists do. Journalism is flawed, but flawed journalism is better than no journalism.
Hopefully not, they do motorcycle deliveries. But TNT Post and a whole pile of other companies use the same general strategy of avoiding employees at all cost to general detriment of tens of thousands of people that would otherwise be part of a large company and that are now left to fend for themselves.

The 'gig economy' is one ugly aspect of the un-bundling of the social contract and this has only just begun. You can look forward to an ever larger number of jobs re-classed as independent contractor.

This is already happening in health care, contracting, taxi driving and so on. The long term effects are most likely very negative but still over the horizon. Companies love it because they get all the benefits of having employees without the downsides.
That's like saying windows is dead in the water because it gives the user the ability to install applications not approved by microsoft.
Maybe millennials are just more efficient at spending the little money they have and don't want to spend more than they need to, which coupled with the new business models the Internet & recent technologies allow makes some legacy business models (cable TV, etc) unsustainable?
Don't companies like stripe aim to make packaged solutions to problems like these?
Maybe not 100 years but substantial time. More likely, we need a platform transition as an inflection point that creates oppty for new market entrants. Part of new entrant's disruptive value prop may be better rev share terms.
> One would imagine that there is some fixed cost for adding new titles and maintaining steam store.

I would imagine that it's mostly automated, similar to the Google Play store. If anything, it's the developer bearing this cost to create the listing.
It's a mix; some groups are more disciplined than others (and have better resources for ablation studies).

To be sure, some sciences are more rigorous than others. Various natural sciences are reliant on transient observations, which might or might not be 'reproducible' in any sense... And still progress is made, though the results might contain more prejudices than one would encounter in other areas.

It's also worth noting that some areas within machine learning are extremely difficult to test rigorously (e.g., generative processes), but are still totally worth pursuing. So be careful with cries of 'it's not even science, man!'
Maybe. But the odds are far worse when Steam won't even filter out garbage asset flips that took three hours to make.

Yeah so why not just do it yourself ?

I really hate these kind of arguments where some people have strong beliefs that "it would work" and not do it or invest themselves. Its like being in a pub and listening people talk about politics while neverhave had any responsibilities
Don't get me wrong, but I hate this kind of response. It has been many months since GDPR arrived. "This should be a wakeup call" is exactly what I was not asking. Either it has been till now, or will never be. Based on my personal experience, it's the latter for data collecting companies like FB. Unless you change my mind by giving any example of good changes in data collecting sites that has been forced due to GDPR.

> users to consent to them allowing themselves

Isn't it almost the same with always present terms and conditions, which like GDPR consent I and most other users generally don't read.
The analogy is pretty common, although the precise uses varies country to country. I called warm Smartie security, as I'm in the UK :)
Addons can be unlisted, ie, they don't show up on a.m.o but you can download and install them as normal.
Not at all. For starter Stripe is only usable if you are a small US company selling to a US user base. It also restricts your audience to customers with a card and willing to enter it on your website.

It's better than nothing but it's in no way comparable to what steam offers.
I'd just move on. To be honest sites with those types of paywalls should not be indexed. The loophole you are taking advantage of here is a bait and switch by these sites. They want the search traffic but don't want public access. Most of us have already adapted, however, and avoid these sites or pay for them.

Your plugin title blatantly describes that you're avoiding paying for something they are charging for so even though it may not be illegal it's not something I'd waste energy fighting for.
I think you may have missed the most important part about failure and learning at the beginning.

I found this article really interesting.

I will add some of my own advice to your own valuable advice above:

After having sold a few thousand products via Amazon, I would recommend trying to ship and fulfill yourself, it's not rocket science. You will save $10 per product. You'll find that spending an hour Packaging and shipping 10 items will quickly pay for your time. Request the supplier to package the goods in untaped individual boxes. This cost adds pennies per product and saves you a lot here when reshipping.

Your points about doing QA in China is very valid, Alibaba even offers reputable QA inspectors as an upsell to your product purchase.

It may be worthwhile to find something that is selling well and list it New below the cost of the "sold by Amazon" version. You'd be surprised how many customers take the cheapest option over the fba variant (as long as shipping is quick and free). This way you do 0 marketing.

Marketing is important, but once you have critical mass and a good product you can relax a bit and coast off the reviews and Amazon algorithm to get some residual traffic.

Put up YouTube videos. These are the first things that come up in the search results when somebody searches for your product, free SEO and marketing. They will show the product in greater detail than Amazon product images and consumers will feel good seeing that it exists outside of Amazon.

Source premium packaging from other manufacturers on Alibaba. This can be very cheap and you can even cheat and send it to your product manufacturer for pre-packaging and ship it all together. The same notes about QA inspection apply. I've done this for complementary products like cables and bags.

Consider registering your trade mark, this is cheap and prevents your supplier or one of their other clients (ie their buddies) from at least copying it straight up and selling it on other marketplaces once you've done the hard work of making a coherent product page and videos.

Now, the hard part - customer service. Making sure you are responsive, that you're messaging properly post-sale and post-delivery and that you are responsive to Amazon's requests as well.

Doing your own fulfillment is a learning curve, and maybe you want to learn the ropes with FBA before jumping in, but really, giving >100% of your margin to Amazon for them to pick-and-ship is a bit heavy. At minimum I would list the product for FBA and new with free shipping at -5% so you can recoup a bit on those "direct" sales.
The original BladeRF has an optional transverter that gives you 60kHz to 300MHz. (I have one but haven't done anything with it yet.)

I don't see one for the version 2 though.
I can also give several examples of women with children who work, but I can only give one example in my social circle (and my wife's) social circle where the woman wasn't forced to take either a substantial reduction in contractual workload after returning from maternity leave, was fired outright, or was otherwise subject to some form of discrimination for being pregnant.

Our friends are largely university educated and are a mix of expats and Swiss nationals. It is - very - well known among Swiss women in particular that getting pregnant and having a child is a detriment to your career.

I agree that personal observations shouldn't be used to generalize an entire population. However, I've heard enough to believe that what we've seen isn't out of the norm.
Not sure why this was down voted. If the cited numbers are wrong, which is the only valid reason to down vote, please call it out and provide the correct numbers. If not don't down vote.
That's assuming that laws are the perfect arbiter of what is useful and what is not. Some useful and moral activities are or used to be criminal acts.

Well, it's actually a been big problem for Windows, and installing unsigned software on Windows is harder than it used to be. Also, luckily for Microsoft, installing another OS is harder than using another browser. (I say using, not installing, because there's always another browser already installed on most OSes.)
Newbie question: what interesting applications does this technology have?
Well the point is that its nice to see the world how you would like it to be instead of what it is. In practice some people are asshole, egoistical and take pleasure in it and i would argue life tend to reward that kind of behaviour (more money, more power and more girls). And they make fun of you.

I've run into resistance to what I pointed out, pretty much every time I've ever pointed it out anywhere online. For some reason people like to believe a myth that the US always had a big problem with obesity. Factually that's simply not true at all, it's a relatively recent problem.

Being a photo geek, I’d love to know more about the technical side of these photos. Angel Adams is most often associated with large format (8x10 inch or larger) sheet film and zone system exposure and developing. But the subject matter of these photos is not conducive to that kind of photography. We’re these shot on 35mm or was he using a handheld large format (like a press camera)?

I’d also love to know the film used.
How is that remotely relevant to the topic under discussion? I mean, it's true that laws are sometimes unethical or mistaken. But that has nothing to do with whether journalism is useful and worth protecting.

It's far from clear that draw-on-top paywalls qualify for the protection offered by either the DMCA or the CFAA. Even if they did, the mechanisms by which this specific extension works are indistinguishable actions users take for many other reasons. The legal notice is a gamble that the extension author doesn't want to spend the money to find out the hard way.

Virtually every size product is cheaper to ship FBA than shipping yourself. In what universe is it not only cheaper, but $10 cheaper to ship yourself?

Most items cost less than $10 for FBA to ship. FBA fees for a 13 pound item is just under $10. There's no way you're getting $10 in savings unless you're doing massive volume and shipping really massive items (like 50LB) or with large dimensional weights

Definitely not. It's quite the opposite actually.

The Lost Art of Steam Heating
Multiple news orgs have stated in public that they don't care about paywalls bypassers because they put up the paywall to convert only the most amenable readers. This is very similar to the paper distribution model where an extreme minority of subscribers represented the majority of revenue, due to extreme discounts and other subsidies given to most readers.
According to whom, though?

There are a lot of people out there absolutely chomping at the bit to label things racist or sexist.

Outright unambiguous racism is one thing, disagreement with the activists is another.

Roughly coinciding with the complete dominance of high fructose corn syrup completely taking over from granulated sugar in food manufacturing. Correlation is not causation. In the U.S. the sugar industry my uncle used to work in is now non-existent. Sugar beet is possibly not even a crop in Californian any longer, and I believe the cane industry in Hawaii is either non-existent or at least much smaller.

You are not allowed to circumvent paywalls, just like you are not allowed to circumvent locks, no matter how easy they are to circumvent. As far as I have always understood, you may publish a locksmithing guide, even an “entering your home when locked out” guide, but not a “how to commit burglary” guide.

I have a crappy old petrol car because it makes economic sense for me to do so. It's sometimes cheaper than public transport, sometimes not, but overall I have it because it has a lower TCO than a less polluting vehicle would.

"It's a regressive tax" is a flawed appeal to emotion because poor people don't really have cars. Really poor people don't even have parking spaces because they're in unregistered flatshares or whatever and they can't get a permit.

Zone 1 driving is a leisure activity. It really is. I love it - I do it, it's gorgeous to bomb it down the river or wave to tourists at Harrods. But the idea that large numbers of individuals will suffer in an economic sense by restricting it is just bonkers, it's trivially disprovable by living here for about a week and trying to drive about and park with a car.

My car which cost about 300 quid is _still_ within the ULEZ recommendations. It's really not an issue at all.
