Hey econcon, I built One Item Store, which solves your exact problem: https://oneitem.store

You can just set up a really simple page, accept payments, and manage orders.

I built a simple example site for your filament: https://oneitem.store/3dfilament

Let me know if you want any more info :)
I championed the rollout of Figma at my company and what this article mentions is true: this is a tool for design, not just for designers.

We initially thought we'd need to provision the same number of licenses as we did for Sketch/InVision/Abstract. Turns out way more people started to get involved in the design process and we now have a more inclusive design practice. Content strategists, UX developers, researchers, can all participate early and often. (From a revenue perspective that's a pretty convenient thing for Figma, as each editor costs $45/mo — not only are they eating market shares from the existing pie, but they are also making that pie bigger)
I had a version of this as a child, I simply assumed it was normal at the time. It disappeared at some point when I got older but I still have a strong memory of the precise colors.

UBI means recipients choose where to spend the money. It's income, not a subsidy.
> It's solely concerned with packaged food.

No, it's not. Toilet paper is one of the main examples that is used in the article along with food.

This is exactly my point. You clearly didn't read the article closely enough to understand the point it's trying to make.

>The big issue is that Intel has been stuck for so long

My memory isn't so good, and I never owned a P4, but according to Wikipedia in August 2001, they released one at 2GHz on 180 nm. Almost 20 years later, my laptop i7 is running at...2.1GHz (base)? And 14 nm. That's kind of mind boggling. I think it would be interesting to read/write an article comparing the two in depth and what performance benefits you get from the newer chip.

Just as covid seemed to hit many with little warning and little preparation, serious cyberattacks will at some point too.

Nations need to have more preparation, funding, and simulations, for potential large future cyberattacks before one causes significant destruction.
This disregards broader system dynamics. We are not simply looking to cut back on policing and stop there. The objective is to invest in people and attend to their fundamental needs in a way which produces lasting change. This goes beyond the particular short-term reactions to parameter changes in the system.

Through the lens of Donella Meadow's work in complex systems, we can we policing pulling back and homicides increasing as:

9. Constants, parameters, numbers (subsidies, taxes, standards).

8. Regulating negative feedback loops.

7. Driving positive feedback loops.

Yet, this movement seeks to operate at a greater leverage point of:

> Developers who followed the guidelines and accepted the terms will lose if the terms are changed to benefit those who aren't in it. Apps have paid the 30% fee for years - now everyone gets a free pass? Very unfair.

Following this logic, cures for cancer are "very unfair", as countless people died before a cure was invented. Not very fair to all of those people that fought cancer on their own or died.
I use Apple's iPhone too. I use Google for search. And Facebook for social networking. And I use Microsoft's Windows as my pc. I'm not taking anyone's side in here. I'm just saying that I do not consider the Apples stance of privacy as more then a façade but I don't really care about privacy as much as Apple pretends that they care about. I do care about privacy from other companies, not from government to the extent permitted under the law.

And yes, I think that Google is still better compared to Apple as far as the web is concerned. I can freely block their trackers if I want to. Google's interests align with the future of the web. Apple's interests are a complete walled garden. As a consumer, for as long as the web thrives, most people benefit. When a wall garden happens, that is when consumers lose in the longer term.
Some feeds are just paginated. Following "next" links would work. Feeds readers don't do this though as they assume people are usually interested in the new posts.

How did you get 200 MWh? From page 20 of the report:

"In summary, retaining existing hydropower capacity and nuclear power capacity (after accounting for planned retirements) and about half of existing fossil fuel capacity, combined with 150 GW of new 4-hour battery storage, is sufficient to meet U.S. electricity demand with a 90% clean grid in 2035, even during periods of low renewable energy generation and/or high demand. Under the 90% Clean case, all existing coal plants are retired by 2035, and no new fossil fuel plants are built beyond those already under construction. During normal periods of generation and demand, wind, solar, and batteries provide 70% of total annual generation, while hydropower and nuclear provide 20%. During periods of high demand and/or low renewable generation, existing natural gas plants (primarily combined-cycle plants) cost-effectively compensate for remaining mismatches between demand and renewables-plus-battery generation—accounting for about 10% of total annual electricity generation, which is about 70% lower than their generation in 2019."

150 GW of batteries with 4-hour discharge is 600,000 MWh.

Calibre strips Amazon's DRM and most book reading software supports you fetching books directly from Calibre.
They simulate all of them, still screw it up when it happens. 9/11 was simulated, pandemic was simulated, etc.
I believe it's detecting more sources than expected. This can be to do with how efficient observations are (very good so far), how low the background is (higher than expected, but stable), the performance of the telescope in space, and how good the simulations of the data are (we're still working on them!).

I was very impressed with the picture of the Shapley supercluster (see article), which is very overdense part of the local universe, containing dozens of clusters of galaxies, each of those with 100s to 1000s of galaxies. In addition, we took some performance verification observations at the start, and these were really nice: http://www.mpe.mpg.de/7362095/news20191022

The picture is a bit misleading about the number of sources. It's really dominated by our galaxy, as most sources are point-like. You cannot really see the majority of them individually in the full-sky map given its spatial resolution, particularly as we applied some smoothing to the data to help emphasise the galactic structure.

We're also going to get another 3.5 years more data in the survey, which is going to find a lot more sources.
I have reservations about Apple, but ill never deny that their product engineering for both the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch continue to impress me.

Now if only they could get engineering like this into the Macbook line, because that's easily the worst product they sell for engineering.

Should the international laws be amended to consider state-led cyber attacks an act of war in additional to traditional aggression? Seems like UN Security Council should deal with these matters.
> May the news be entirely subscriber funded in a post-UBI world where everyone can afford to subscribe

Probably not. UBI doesn’t end the appeal of “free” and doesn't change that the people trying to sell you stuff have a motive to spend money disguising efforts to get you to buy it as other things, like “free" news services.

The advertising targets can afford to pay for the news now, because they are paying for it. But they still pay for it indirectly, and UBI doesn't change the systems which feed into that.
Part of the problem is that as human beings, we are awful at assigning credit and blame for hypothetical scenarios.

When in the best-case scenario nothing happens, politicians aren't incentivized to take strong action at the expense of harming the economy. They'll be blamed for the unemployment and harsh actions when "the disease wasn't that bad" – even though it "wasn't that bad" due to the prevention measures taken in the first place.

Look at Seattle vs. NYC. NY's Governor Andrew Cuomo has been largely praised for his leadership, but that's purely optics. Had he acted sooner, lives would have been saved. [1]

You're right - in that regard, we may be biased.
It’s not just Netflix. It’s the class of apps. Even no name apps like ACloudGuru where you subscribe to get access to training classes do this.
step 1. Psychologist identifies "defense mechanism" preventing people from accepting unpleasant truths.

step 2. Psychologist being aware of defense mechanisms, declares with no apparent evidence/testing that they are immune to them.

step 3. Psychologist ends up with beliefs no different than anybody else.

Edit:

I'm unclear what to even make of the article. To read it as a criticism of Freud that he fell onto religion when his own death was near? To read it as a celebration of religion that a controversial and disowned psychologist turned to it in his old age? Or just an assortment of historical facts without any larger relevance?

Also, maybe I'm a little turned off by the typo in it. Makes it feel unreviewed.
> Could I pick it up in five minutes if I needed to? Sure.

Yes, because you do know the basic concepts of using a CLI, the concepts around building your project, and the concepts of project metadata, build tools and etc.

When people can't run their programs without an IDE, it's because they don't know any of that. This is an at minimum 6 months learning of the unwritten culture of a profession. This is not something one can pick up in 5 minutes. It is also a huge signal that those people are missing other fundamental and important pieces of knowledge.

(That is, unless the OP is literally complaining that he threw people on a random computer CLI and people couldn't make their code run there. Personally, I have never seen anybody making this point, but I guess it's possible.)
AMD is already work on Radeon chips for Samsung.

In any case, I don't think you can compare ARM to Intel right now, when talking about switching chips. The question is ARM vs AMD, and with the amazing AMD chips coming out I'm not convinced that the ARM chips can be much of an improvement.
They don't get to say that due to antitrust laws. Hence why you can use Amazon's appstore on Android, or FDroid etc. I'm not really familiar with the Apple ecosystem.
The distro I use is developed by the company that employs the primary systemd developer. Do you really expect me to believe your assertion that he holds no responsibility for how systemd is shipped by that distribution?
I just went back and looked to see if I missed some after-the-ad section.

After re-reading the article, I think it's pretty dishonest to assert that I'm missing its point. That it mentions some things beyond food didn't distract me from the things (the bulk of the article) it does say about food. Its only two charts are about food.

This useless exchange must be why the charge of "u didn't read the article" is discouraged in HN's guidelines. In your quest to unmask me as a filthy article-dodger, you also didn't contribute to the discussion beyond mentioning that in an article chiefly about food, some other packaged goods were brought up. And presumably it was a grave error on my part to only talk about the main charge of the article -- which is the only part I had something to say about -- and not the whole domain of implications -- which I have nothing to say about.
Given the plethora of downgrade attacks against TLS that have been found over the decades, I'd really hope that there is a better poster-child for cipher agility. If the canonical example of "cipher agility working as intended" is TLS, then I want off this rollercoaster ride.
Yea, ‘monopoly’ in the question is the answer...
I think if you take it to the extreme, the job of computer scientist isn't to run any programs. It is to write them. To quote Knuth:

> Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.

No, as a computer scientist, your job isn't to run programs on servers (or, at all).

As a person who needs to eat and pay rent though, I think it is fairly reasonable to expect you to know how to run programs you write, with or without an IDE. The reason for running programs without IDE is that most often, executing the program won't be a "javac Main.java && java Main", but probably some rather complicated maven/ant/gradle/shell/... command that you'll have to program your IDE to do anyways. If one can't even use a simple javac/java commands, one might have a very difficult time with those concepts.

And now, the overarching point is, does one as a student mindlessly click the green run button in Eclipse, or was one curious (and paying attention, because javac and java are usually taught in the first lecture) and actually tried to understand what's going on after you press the green button?

I'd go as far to even say that the curiosity of "what happens after I press this button" indeed is a job of a computer scientist.

Just my 2c, and why I expect fresh graduates to know a bit more than "class Dog extends Animal".
I don’t know, but it’s part of the “services” revenue that they need to continue growth now that hardware sales are flat(ish). Apple now has bad incentives to rent-seek, and it’s showing.
>I remember seeing 3 GHz processors sometime around 2003-2004. Very little has changed since then

I think computers are faster, but I'd like to see an in depth survey of how today's 2 GHz chip differs from a 2001 model.

Probably I should do it myself.
This all sounds very interesting, but doesn’t at all match my lived experience.

I’ve dieted now a few times quite successfully while living with a chef roommate.

He cooks amazing meals. Salads with more ingredients than I’d ever bother to use, stuff like that. As a chef he really puts time into hitting many flavors (not always, but often).

I’ve never had an easier time losing weight than this last time! Down to my healthiest in years, and been super happy with how easy it’s felt.

Here’s a theory: I’m getting a lot of happiness from eating delicious food. If I eat bland things, sure over time I may adapt to it. But to be honest, getting joy out of eating is one of just two things that is an inexhaustible source of delight for humans. Trying to diet and deprive yourself of flavor is like fighting two dragons at once.

The dopamine/serotonin balance I get from a well crafted, layered meal is actually what keeps me satisfied and feeling like “I had my pleasure, I owe it to myself to accept that as enough”. A fun diet is easier to follow.

Edit: just to add. I also get a ton of happiness from cooking new and interesting things. To me, the craft of cooking also helps mentally. I get satisfaction from trying new things, being creative, pleasing my SO, etc - humans need some amount of creativity and play. By fulfilling that through cooking, you avoid seeking it in eating. I’ve noticed clearly when we make a nice meal I’m so happy at just having done something well, my dopamine is low once it’s time to eat.
What I don't get: what, other than politics, keeps Apple from going AMD?

Apple is already working with AMD when it comes to dedicated graphics chips, and people have done Hackintoshes with AMD parts for ages... so why go the (risky) ARM route instead?
So, you’re not allowed to wear an “I can’t breathe” shirt to a Trump rally
On “return generators instead of lists” I think it’s also important when you do this to return use a context manager to manage the generators lifetime. Otherwise you might be surprised when the underlying file or source is closed later in your code.

A friend of mine taught some Java labs at a university and made a point of testing students on that.
Very nice, this can speed up some of the old Pis still hanging around quite significantly if software authors start making use of Vulkan on ARM.

I wonder how Nvidia is looking at this with their terrible anti-open source mindset. I hooe an engineer of theirs with experience from their company writing a video driver doesn't get the author any repercussions.
How hard would it be to reverse engineer CUDA and make something like WINE that translates all CUDA operations into OpenCL or directly into third-party GPU instructions?

Obviously wouldn't be as fast as on NVIDIA hardware but it would potentially be much faster than the CPU versions of those pieces of software.

Well done! This is why many successful people tell others to work on things that interest them and not blindly follow money
They do get to say that. Apple has a minority of the market and wouldn't run into legally-justifiable antitrust problems.
I have removed DRM from all of my Kindle book purchases over the years (over 100) to read as PDFs on my Remarkable without issue. The Calibre toolchain- bless the work of the author- is a little painful to use but works consistently and though it's a GUI, the CLI works as well and can be automated.

It is definitely possible to make de-DRM harder, but lots of things are possible and thankfully don't happen.
But the A12Z (based on the A12) is not using the latest TSMC process as used for the A13 (which is almost certainly in higher volume production than Intel 10nm).

Plus, if Apple can afford to put an overclocked / high-binned TSMC chip in the lower-cost iPad but has to put a low binned i5 in the Air doesn't that say something about the relative economics / yields.

For what it's worth I have a Core i7 1065G7 and it's decently fast but gets very hot and definitely needs a fan (which the iPad doesn't) and has good battery life (but not as good as the iPad's).

The advantage still seems to me be to be very strongly with the Apple parts.
You want a market economy that is competitive and where dominant players are curtailed to avoid them stifling innovation.
Did society actually need the internet when the Telecommunications Act of 1996 said AT&T had to release some of their control on the internet?

I'm not sure how I feel about that particular building.

I don't like it aesthetically (despite being into most Brutalist architecture.) But that's a matter of taste.

It doesn't integrate into the environment very well. For example, the Pacific ocean is right there, but the design seems to ignore that. They should (IMO, IANAArchitect) have designed it so that more residents had better views, and one of the roof-top lounge things should be facing it (with wind breaks or even windows!) And there should be wind-power turbines on the roof, you have a nearly continuous wind coming off the ocean.

Despite all that, I think it's really instructional to compare that block to the surrounding blocks.

It shows what the Outer Sunset could be. It's downright weird that SF's Western coast is so underdeveloped. (Although I prefer it that way. I grew up here and it's kind of nice that the beach isn't all built up like the Marina district, or even Venice Beach in LA, or the waterfront in Seattle, or really almost anywhere.) Part of it is that SF is relatively young. Most places would have converted the area decades ago.

One thing though: I had a friend who lived at 46th and worked downtown, he moved to Oakland and his commute time was cut in half. There are reasons why the Sunset district is so sleepy. You meet a lot of people here that think the city ends at Twin Peaks.

We would have to build some sort of freeway if the Outer Sunset were to be converted to greater density.
It's slow to the point of being painful to use, never mind actually pleasant. I know the refresh rate is always going to be crap, but there's no reason we can't get half-decent internals alongside an e-ink screen.
None of those appears to be Android, which IMO makes them have less utility value. There's definitely pros and cons though, and one should research which is right for them.

It's probably best to consider them a new kind of attack. As long as they don't kill people directly, they are closer to economic wars.
Meh. Everybody knew that "design is not just for designers" for quite a while, Adobe made several failed attempts at "collaboration" workflows trying to solve exactly those kinds of problems. This is just post-hoc justification... and also, let's not jump ahead of ourselves, "Figma wins" is not a foregone conclusion. A few years ago it would've been "why Sketch wins".
