I believe bookshop.org works someowhere along the same terms.

Hi, I'm the OP and wanted to say that Quillette is a right-wing magazine portraying itself as an lbertarian centrarian magazine. If Jordan Peterson was a magazine, this would be it.
Yet, with this article they managed to shot themselves in the foot. Quillette sees itself as an intellectual post for intellectuals, yet the only intellectualism they manage to bring on is the one described by Steven Pinker: anti-progressive.
Before posting it here, I posted it on a facebook group and the reactions were instant: some making fun of the people waiting to get offended and a great majority getting offended only when seeing it was from Quillette or simply by reading the title.
Even though Quillette managed to self-describe itself without pointing obvious fingers but knowing their history, it was to be addressed to left wing media, the article is humorously accurately describing both extremes of the same narrow American spectrum of politics and social life. If you don't fit a box, you clearly fit the other and need to be attacked by it.
And in 2020 I stil struggle to export my Kindle highlights from sideloaded books (not bought from Amazon). And even if I did, I haven't found a note system that lets me centralize all the notes I gather from web, documents and my Kindle.
Maybe one of you can come up with a piece of service and make me tear up a little.
Sure, S3 works if you're deploying it as safest as possible and want to pay for it too and do this on a recurrent basis, but otherwise is too big of a fuss for a personal blog, I use GitHub pages for over 4 years now with no issues, my own domain and SSL.
The simplest is surge.sh, period. If you don't need a domain, a web platform and just want to deploy from your CLI, surge.sh is the solution. It's good when you want to show off a static website to someone outside your sever. Even the switching to a premium plan is done from the CLI.
Other solutions are: Netlify, ZEIT Now, Aerobatic or Render.
I have a few too, although I don't know who is going to read them since there are over 1k comments. Here goes nothing.
1) I'm pretty sure a final cure for HIV-1 and better detection + treatment for AIDS will come up in the next 4 years. Also, the Pre and Post exposure drugs will probably become efficient for infections older than 48 hours. The things with HIV/AIDS research is that a discovery on one end of the disease yields results on all of them in a short amount of time.
2) Populism and nationalism will start to die out because gen X and Z are brought up in a more data-available world. They'll probably have a more Hans Rosling/Steven Pinker attitude towards the world than a Trump/Johnson one.
3) Ethiopia will become the powerhouse of the continent, prompting migration from all over. If an open and/or tolerant attitude is kept towards neighbors, it might generate a ripple effect across the whole region - an effect consisting in stability. That's what Israel could've done if a dual-state solution was obtained, or Iran if the CIA hadn't generate a coup to remove the democratic prime minister because BP Oil couldn't buy cheap resources anymore. I really hope no one fucks up this time.
4) Poorer countries will outpace the more developed ones in terms of digital governance, administration and bureaucracy since they'll start implement administrative reforms with the current available tools that have the power to reach anyone - which are all online. Current administrations from developed countries still need to overcome the integration nightmare of current systems.
5) Public photography and filming will get intensely regulated worldwide as the laws haven't been adapted to the smartphone era as well as the digital privacy era. For example: currently, photographers are allowed to snap photos of you in public without asking for consent in most of the countries. Then they sell them off for 100 dollars on Getty Images. Then you see yourself in a prostate ad from an obscure magazine sold in a mall in Indiana. Life's complicated.
Honestly, I don't see any relevancy in the statement of this project. Using kindles and other ebook readerds for about 6 years and always asked to recommend one, I've learned that ebook readers are one of the most realiable devices ever built, so you'd better buy a used one and take it off the market than produce yourself another devices honestly no one needs at the moment. A lot of the people buying ebook readers usually end up ditching them just because their 'reading hype' didn't catch on, or their company's read and roll program (we have Bookster in Romania) is cheaper to use (as it's free) than buying and converting books all the time.
But, ebook readers are cheap and easy to use (if bought used), even kindle's amazon. Since you have a kindle e-mail address you can just use an app to convert every non-kindle-format file into a compliant one, that's it if you don't want to use Calibre via USB or WebServer. I use eBooker on my Android phone.
Bill Gates is perfectly aware of the fact that a good part of Microsoft's employees started learning about computers on illegal copies of Windows, for example. And it couldn't have happen otherwise - at least for non OECD or 1st world countries.
A device that recharges the pen only 7-9 times is broken and can be changed under warranty for no charge. Either that, or your device was a replica, seriously.
I highly doubt someone's smoking style affects the battery power of the smoking pen, because, if you smoke from it like a train engine, it's just got nothing to burn anymore and shuts off - like a normal cigarette. There's nothing related to the battery itself.
For those of you who didn't read, the article states:
"The company’s internal “marketing standards” prohibit it from promoting tobacco products with youth-oriented celebrities or “models who are or appear to be under the age of 25.”
So the age limit in discussion is self imposed by the company, which is 25. The 'young influencer' mentioned is 21 years old.
I don't see this as anything above a journalistic sensationalism.
