It looks to me like trentnix already provided their answer to this question, by stating what happens when the producer doesn't control pricing:

"The end result is that there is less sales tax in your community because of the absence of that brick and mortar retailer. There are fewer jobs. There are fewer local communities built around hobbies, crafts, trades, or whatever. But you can get products cheaper and your dollars have greater purchasing power. Maybe that's a worthwhile trade-off - YMMV."

I'm not here to claim that the answer is convincing (or not), but I think it does qualify as an answer to your question.
There is a big "emperor has no clothes" effect in high end audio equipment. It is hard to measure, there's a big cognitive effect where it sounds better because you know its expensive, but on the other hand, with the right setup it's trivially easy to demonstrate where higher quality equipment is perceptually better.

It's one of those things where the people who talk about it the most have the least idea of what's going on, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything going on.

Ask HN: Advice on Amazon Associates Program
I am planning on making some videos of me working through the tutorials in a SBC developer kit as a project while I recover from surgery.

I think this could be of use to some people who find it easier to learn from videos rather than written tutorials.

I was wondering if it would be worthwhile applying to the Amazon Associate program and providing a link to the development kit's product pages in the video description.

Is it true that once approved You can link to any product being sold on Amazon and receive a commission?

Is it even worth going through the Amazon application process if I'm only planning on promoting a few items in what I would consider a small series of videos on a niche subject?

Are there better affiliate agregators for my application?

Thanks

No, I did not, but I made tests with a configuration that was using more power.
I measured total runtime per wakup, and number of wakeups until the battery was depleted. I used this data to estimate the runtime if I take a measurment only every 5 minutes. This does not fully take in account the deepsleep current & battery self discharge. But wake up from deepsleep is definitly working.

From 3.7V to 2.7V I coud activate 37'000 times with a total runtime of about 8h.

Schematic is found here: https://github.com/LilyGO/LILYGO-T-Energy/blob/master/t18_v3...

You also have the battery voltage on IO35 with a 2x100kOhm Voltage divider.

The setup is not perfect, but good enough so far, and practical.

If I start over, i would look into
* taking a processor with lower speed und power.
* taking CR 123 or a battery optimized for very low self discharge current.
* Use a wireless protocol with very low overhead. I use ESP-Now now, WLAN would cut battery life in half.

It's pretty good advice. I'd like to add that colors aren't defined in vacuum. You probably want to start with a mockup design, add some colors. Then grab those colors and start to nail them down. Then put the updated colors back into more designs. Do this back and forth a couple of times. Do not spend too much time staring at color palettes.

> If not, you pay the store $N on your way out.

I was thinking the same as I scanned down this thread, but I can't get past two things:
1) It's tough to for me (the customer) to have enough confidence that the showroom has all the options I should consider, and that the showroom employees are knowledgeable about them all. Without that, it's tough to commit to a flat price for browsing before I enter.
2) I can't see how this happens one store at a time. As long as there are traditional retail locations nearby, ones that let customers browse for free, customers will gravitate there. Can this business model succeed only once traditional brick and mortar retail has disappeared?

Last time I checked, the majority of those kids were using BASIC. Specifically: Commodore BASIC or QBasic (DOS).

There’s a large difference between what you describe and the parent comment.
Java's checked exceptions aren't (usefully) polymorphic. You can't write, for example:

R process<R, E extends Exception>(ThrowingFunction<Long, R, E> processor) throws E { ... }

You could write "process" to the Exception base class, but it still can't handle a "processor" that doesn't throw at all.

Checked exceptions a "bolted on" effect that sits outside the usual type system in Java, and their presence on a method signature "colours" it in a way that an effect described inside a type system would not. More of a stain than a tint, if you will.

Java 8 resolved it by quietly pretending checked exceptions never happened, which works fine until (1) you get unhandled unchecked exceptions in all their glory at runtime, and (2) you want to use one of the Java 7 or earlier methods as a "processor" but, oh no, it throws an exception.

(It's a deeper colouring than JavaScript's async/await keyword, which is just syntactic sugar around continuations in callbacks and returning promises - you can pass an async "processor" function to a "process" function that has no idea what it's getting and get back the promise you'd expect from it.)
I’d rather agree with the parent. There’s something in Reddit that it consume a person worse than Twitter does. Constantly asking for righteous micro-decisions for one thing. It’s always a fight for some justice, and where there isn’t, the corporate fuels it.

Don't the current laws define the lines on basic decency? That's what the companies should follow. And I believe many should strive for that instead: there's loads of companies doing illegal things to their employees!

So, being political at a company level means defining a morals for companies that transcends de jure laws. Which is, basically, another set of uber-laws but without any real oversight nor finesse.

In the end refusing selling a computer to ICE should be like refusing to sell a soda to a black person: a clear case of discrimination. And companies should be threatened with dissolution if so; moral focused groups can then just create foundations or churches instead.

> The whole point of politics is that the law does not and cannot fully capture what’s right and wrong.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Legislators work to try and capture what is right for now and the future, and in common law jurisdictions a claimant may (sometimes) sue and not have to wait for legislation. As I wrote, I'm not against anyone taking a positive moral stance but since there's no way to know or even agree on what is moral, to say that it's immoral to take no stance other than to work within the law (which is a already a very extensive moral code) would seem invidious.

> No one gets paid for preventing problems. They get paid for increasing profit

This is not a law of nature. Different cultural norms yields different business priorities.
The fact of the matter is that money is only a surrogate for value, it is not the actual thing. Current business teaching has ideologically put the money hoarders in charge where increasing their profits is the only appropriate moral behavior. This yields a legitimacy and incentive for shortermist thinking.

Equating money with value builds a distorted view of what humans actually value. Money is not ideal in representing the value of stability, fairness or compassion. these are very basic human values which are shared by most of us, yet money cannot encode these faithfully.

We shouldn't accept the side effects of our choice to use money as surrogate for value as some form of natural law.

This is quite fascinating. I've never before met someone who almost entirely discards knowledge they didn't experience themselves. I wonder to what extent you trust that I am a human being living somewhere else on the globe :) .

Regarding the synthesis of water, I have seen that experiment done first hand when I was in school, and I have seen a larger quantity of droplets of water when it was done than in other similar experiments where two gasses were burned, so I am well convinced. Synthesising buckets of water would be a much more complicated trick though, especially if you expect to see it happen all at once, because the reaction is 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O, so you need to react 1kg of hydrogen with 0.5kg of oxygen to get 1kg of water vapour, without blowing your whole house up - not an easy feat. Going a safer route, creating a process that reacts small quantities over a long time is also difficult, especially if you want to make a convincing looking apparatus.

An easier route if you want to convince yourself of this reaction, I still suggest the best way is to perform the experiment with hydrogen and oxygen, and then to perform similar experiments with other gasses. This way, you could compare the amount of vapour that condenses after burning hydrogen (you should see a lot) vs burning sulphur (you'll see very little or none).

> My view is that we live in a fabricated reality, where we have created types and classifications - but that these are ideas in our own minds. We are not describing reality, we are describing our classifications. We are lost in our stories.

The reason why I don't think your argument holds water, at least for most science, is that we can see the products of science working every day, even if we don't personally study them from first principles. I can see that my computer works, so I am convinced that all of the science involved in its creation is true - electricity, materials science, possibly some aspects of quantum mechanics, general relativity for my GPS clock, the speed of light when looking at the Latency of satellite communications, the chemistry of silicone which they use in the manufacturing process and others. I look at the plastic industry and pigment industry and junk food and medicine, and I know that chemistry is true. I look at how we successfully treat and prevent microbial diseases, or selectively breed plants and animals, and I know that genetics is true.

Do I need to deeply understand each of these phenomena? Not really, and I don't even need to trust the scientists. All I need is to trust that the hundreds of thousands of engineers who apply these processes every day are not lying about how they make it work. I don't need to trust them that it works, that I can see for myself.
Seems trivial to exploit the kernel module:

struct network_activity * activity = NLMSG_DATA(nlh);

<untrusted data from the netlink socket>
append_rule(activity->process_path, (activity->allowed == 1));
...

append_rule:
// Don't do anything if the process_path length is > PATH_LENGTH
if (strlen(process_path) > PATH_LENGTH)
return;

But nobody enforces the process_path has a terminating 0 byte, so likely it can be abused for all kinds of attacks on the kernel. Better don't run it anywhere you care about security.

I found this from about 2 minutes code reading, so likely there wasn't any code audit done ever.

... which is a blessing and a curse: When they are doing a good job, that's perfect because it means that some software which wouldn't run correctly now runs correctly.

When they are doing a bad job, they might anger maintainers ("I didn't add this bug - this was added by macports - complain to them!"), or they might introduce additional security issues not present in the upstream package (see the Debian openssl bug from 2008)

It might also mean that you're not getting the latest versions of upstream packages because adding those patches and rebasing them on top of upstream changes takes time.

Being close to upstream was a selling-point of homebrew back in the days when it was just a collection of scripts to make it easier to build original source distributions of common Unix software.

Yet Novartis only has 15% margins. Not shabby but not exactly living large, and much worse than tech companies. You aren’t going to move the needle on drug costs by making those margins 0%, and no amount of wishing will change that. That’s math. I guess you could pay people less at Novartis but it probably won’t have the desired effect.

These things cost a certain amount of money to produce. What you are complaining about is how that cost is distributed among the people that might consume it. However, the implications of redistributing that cost are not particularly palatable either. Ultimately, someone has to pay for development and there are only so many places you can hide the necessary revenue that no one wants to pay. These costs don’t automagically disappear through political sleight of hand.
There is still the assumption there that the only way to make a living is via a "career" which necessarily entails doing something you don't care about and aren't otherwise interested in to make money. That is not the only option
A few years ago, I was astounded to find that I can write modern C++ code for arduino. It’s pretty great; rvalue && parameters, classes, even STL string manipulation all works perfectly. C++11 and later added all kinds of useful syntax for writing fast, small code. In particular, I don’t need nearly as much preprocessor macro crap, because it’s easy to make the compiler compute constants, even when those constants are produced by manipulating STL data structures.

Compiling expressive syntax through a powerful optimizing compiler to produce binaries run by microcontrollers is really sweet. Definitely the way to go, if you want to get the most functionality from limited hardware, without going all the way to assembly.

I guess JavaScript could be good for people who want to do very simple things, and then invest lots of time fighting limitations as their ambitions grow, rather than learning something useful. Like people do with Excel.

Which brings me to my next question: why not take it to the limit, and make microcontrollers programmable purely in Excel macros? That would be maximally accessible. Lots of people know Excel and can’t get enough pain.
