I have a small farm on the outskirts of the city where nobody lives. When I'm there I usually pick up other people's rubbish and it gets on my nerves to see that the next week it's full of shit again.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, I think I'm going to look at it differently from now on.
Built a fun side project to learn Vue, https://wheelcarnival.com/ a place to create and share roulette wheels.
I'm not working on it but somehow it still has some traction, it averages 20k users/month (mostly teachers). Unfortunately my day job it's very time-consuming and I never find time to create a better version.
They're a part of the affiliate program, and they are price tracking, so I would say they have implicit permission, or else they would have been long kicked off of the affiliate program.
I recall reading that the reason CamelCamelCamel is permitted is because they ONLY price track Amazon (vs tracking multiple retailers), but I can't recall where that came from.
Terms of Service are universally wishlists of things a legal department may wish to enforce if they are so inclined. In this case, they are not so inclined.
They don't list symptoms, they list things that happened in the study population in clinical trials. Which is why every medicine has headache and nausea as 'possible side effects'.
To be fair that seems like one of the most respectable uses of affil links though. They’re providing actual value on top of what the supplier provides.
I have alerts setup there to alert me when the price gets to $x, 1 of the few places I have setup like that. So in my case, I definitely buy more from Amazon because of the site.
I created it to learn Vue, initially I used Gridsome but then I decide to use Nuxt. I also moved it from Netlify to Firebase to add storing+auth, so people can create custom wheels.
It's getting a decent amount of visits so it will be wise to finish it, but it's not fun anymore and my day job takes a lot of energy.
I am in a similar situation, a couple of domains are copying our site and the domain registar https://www.cscglobal.com/ it's not doing anything to solve the situation.
They even have an abuse email domainabuse@cscglobal.com but they never reply (not even an automatic reply)
After contacted them via customer support email on their site, they say that they have scalated the case to their legal team but that I have low priority since I'm not a customer.
I noticed that I have a "decision-quota" that I can spend every day, and sometimes I spend a lot of this energy on trivial tasks.
So I created a small tool a while ago to learn Vue and to help me with this: https://roulettecarnival.com/ , it's not close to be finished but it kinda works. I also use it with my team to make trivial decisions more fun.
Very neat presentation. I often work out this sort of thing in my head or on paper.
I was confused by the wording initially. "Enter a list of what you want to decide" sounded to me like I should enter separate decisions ("What should I eat for lunch?", "When should I mow the lawn?", …). Perhaps word it as "Enter the alternatives you are trying to decide between".
Nice idea. Frankly I don’t understand why some people care so much about some irrelevant details, like cloth to wear for a normal day. My girlfriend is expert at indecision and when she ask my opinion and I reply in a second she looks impressed and ask: why? Of course, I don’t reply "because both are equally valid so I just chose one arbitrarily", I come on with some believable argument. But the truth is spending thinking about the options is wasteful. I tried to teach her the head-tail method for binary choice but she’s not convinced.
My suspicion is that the worker-owned cooperative model, especially if it emphasizes the more important worker self-directed part, will tend towards much smaller units of self-organization. I predict we will see confederations and networks of smallish coops, and I suspect this is for the best.
I like to commit small parts of code separately, but to be honest when you are starting a project and you are working alone I don't think is that important.
