As I noted "Buying lots of things in order to resell them is more complicated than buying just one or two things for yourself". Both of the links you provided to cheaper sellers are not set up for bulk sales. The one on Amazon has

As far as I can tell, Adafruit doesn't price gouge. More expensive than some other US places, sometimes, but usually not by much. Sometimes they're cheaper than similar US places. The only places that sell same or similar items fo

I agree. She's really great for hobbyists and for prototyping. She's done a ton to help beginners. And Adafruit is a very interesting company. I seriously admire her. But as to the original claim that she's "one of the i

At least that's likely just a software thing, so it could theoretically be fixed via a software update.

Stopping Google's tracking isn't as big a priority to most people as it seems to be to you (otherwise google would be out of business). So it shouldn't really be all that surprising when people make statements that aren'

Something like youtube (streaming _huge_ amounts of videos with with no monetization) was bound to either get ads or die. The corporation didn't kill it. In fact, quite the opposite: they made it so it could keep living.

The effect is the same (for the purposes of an outdoor dining area), and I believe that's what they were referring to. Perhaps a better way to word it would be: bugs will go towards a local light.

Ah, I guess I need to look at the docs more closely.

I'm looking forward to trying this out! You might want some sort of mention in the website copy about it being self-hostable (unless I'm misinterpreting the docs). The website copy talks about your hosting and the related benefits

There are links to live examples of different compression, and the source code. That's as good as (perhaps even better than) screenshots in this case.

A really great resource. My usual game reference, BoardGameGeek, has a lot of the same info ultimately, but if you just want purely standard card game info, this is much better organized and displayed. Side note: Kind of funny that the site

I see nothing wrong with being sad that Microsoft is removing something from their OS and their suggested (but not included) replacement is a paid app which is at least an order of magnitude larger and more complex. Sure, WordPad isn't

It's still arbitrary because P99 is an arbitrary percentage. Why not P97 or P90? Or P99.9? And if you have an arbitrary cutoff but make exceptions for _some_ people who are over that cutoff, you're opening yourself up to two thing

Blue is also used for police in the US for flashing lights, usually in combination with red. But Mercedes use is for running lights near headlights and tail lights, so I guess that's different enough?

I fully agree that the self-reporting in this (alleged?) study is suspect. I've been accused of being a corporate shill many times on reddit just for voicing an opinion contrary (or even just partially contrary) to the bulk of the thre

They're also hard to find now because the web has become so much more than what it was back then. So many more people and companies are on the web now, so _good_ smaller personal pages make up a much smaller percentage of what's o

Are you implying _two_ eyes? Because if you think that's the reason, just try closing one eye and looking into a mirror and you'll see that nothing's changed. (Also, as an exception to your statement, I have eyes, and I wasn&

It really all depends on the subreddits and what each individual got from it to begin with.

Your reasoning begs the question: Why do you believe you have a right to access something that you can't (or aren't willing to) pay to access?

I've noticed no change to the subreddits I'm active in. Obviously there was change when everyone was making a fuss, but now that that's died down, it seems like it never happened.

I'm not sure what the difference is between one's personal attitude (voluntarily made public) and one's endorsement. IMO they are one in the same. I only bring this up because you've made the point to say you're not

I agree with your argument as stated here ("this is complex because the system of legal rights is complex"). I guess your example seemed to me to be an endorsement of relying on the creators opinion and not the rights-holder in ca

Basing something like this on someone else's motive doesn't seem like the best idea to me because in most situations you can only guess the motive. So it ultimately just boils down to your assumptions.

That's not complicated, though. The artist is not the seller. The artist already sold their rights. Whoever bought the rights is the seller. You might choose to disregard that because the artist said they don't care, but their opi

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the extreme negativity is at least partially due to people piling on because they know it's not liked.
