I tagged in one of our lead engineers to talk about the tech stack, but can chime in re: considerations for multi-platform.

We are sprinting as fast as we can to get an Android app out the door. We're also planning on investing more in the reader experience on web. Some time ago, we launched a web reader (reader.substack.com) in beta and have some exciting ideas in the works to evolve that surface.

Beyond Android, when it smaller platforms like iPad / Desktop apps, it's mostly a matter of looking at the data and listening to users. With a small team, we have to be judicious with prioritization, and as we increase the surface area for readers it's important that the experience for writers remains clear (right now their readers can already read on email, web, and mobile).
I don't think we're "crushing Russia's economy" at all, actually. We're separating from it. And soon we will from China as well.

What we're witnessing is the end of an era. As Lenin said, "There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen." Lion prides work where there is one dominant male until either it gets too old or a young male gets too strong. Then, in a moment, it all changes. No empire lasts forever.

The US is fiscally bankrupt and has pissed off its opposition too long. It spent a fortune on tanks and missiles, and then technology came and made that all essentially redundant.

My guess? Russia and China (and probably India) will base their currencies on gold. They will want payment for energy, rare minerals, chips, etc. in that gold-based currency. NATO will dissolve and the US will become deeply poor.
While simultaneously people who rant constantly about "mainstream meadia" claim that because RT broadcast it, that it must be true and can in no way be propaganda.
No, soldering doesn't send streams of liquid solder through the air. And if an occasional drip of solder does splash, it is so heavy, and has so much surface tension, that it doesn't go far and doesn't stay in the air like water droplets do.
It's not that extreme. They have the BRICS sphere of influence on their side.

More likely, the SWIFT sanctions will prove a mistake for "the West," when it realizes the downstream effects of cutting off Russia from the dominant payment network of the global reserve currency. Russian banks have already started offering accounts in yuan. This will lead to further balkanization (unfortunate pun notwithstanding) of world reserve currencies, which means increased decentralization and a reduced dependency on the dollar. Eventually the world will naturally diversify their reserve holdings to the point that the dollar loses its power as leverage in diplomatic negotiations.

At this point, there will be jockeying for position of a dominant currency, and it will be more than just fiat currency in the race. In the next 5 years, we will almost certainly see the emergence of a central bank digital currency. Within the next 10 years, it will be clear that paper USD will not be the dominant currency in 2040, and it will likely be obvious which currency will take its place.

As far as the SSL certs go, all these arguments also apply to balkanization of internet infrastructure. In fact, they'll happen together, since the information networks banning Russians refuse to interface with their payment networks anyway.

Is this actually the greatest opportunity for Russian entrepreneurs since the fall of the Soviet Union? Suddenly there is demand for an alternative to every Western online service. The products that were previously 80% as good as their Western counterparts now find themselves as the leading option in the local market.

This same pattern happened in China when they introduced The Great Firewall — the censorship regime favored local providers, so they had a route to catch up with the Silicon Valley companies. Now look at the Chinese internet economy. Russia doesn't have nearly the population of China, nor the population growth that China did the past twenty years, but it's not unreasonable to expect significant growth in Russian internet sector over the next 5-10 years (after the dust settles on sanctions and the winners emerge).
What do you mean when you say these algorithms make very little sense from a progress perspective?
TL;DW - prior to the invention of the jerry can, forces used fragile thin-walled disposable canisters to transport fuel. These often leaked, causing logistical issues.

Pre-WWII Germany sunk a surprising amount of time into designing the perfect fuel container: sturdy, with multiple handles to allow different ways of carrying it, an ingenious spout, and even a small area of air space at the top of the can to ensure it always floated in water even when full.

These proved so much better than the existing canisters that the Allies resorted to seizing and using captured German jerry cans, before eventually building the tooling to manufacture their own to the same design.

The reason for the reference to a 'secret weapon' is that a sturdy reliable fuel storage and delivery system, which could be carried by the thousands in ordinary trucks without worrying about spillage, or strapped onto the outside of tanks and armoured cars, allowed mechanised forces to move significantly faster and further than before.
Whatever the geekbench multicore test is testing doesn't seem to actually benefit from extra cores very much. Not all real world workloads will scale perfectly with moar cores, but considering that the test is supposed to benchmark multicore performance it should be doing roughly that, otherwise what exactly is the point?

This new system is very cool but there seems to be a lot of phony benchmark results with the intention of making it look faster than it actually is. I am very interested in seeing how phoronix results end up comparing to these other tests!
It definitely is enough. I don't know where the myth that looking at lead kills you started, but unless you are eating it or breathing it in (soldering is not hot enough to vaporize lead) there's nothing to worry about.

They're also useful for small groups, though maybe less useful. They show dependencies between tasks, which tasks can be done concurrently, and which tasks need to be done first, which is useful for organization on every level. It's just that with smaller groups you can (often) get by with almost any approach, even down to just "put a bunch of sticky notes on the wall and take them off when done", trusting that people know the dependencies and priorities.

> How do you make the jump from disapproval of DDG's standard for misinformation and how it's applied to the idea that they shouldn't be involved in filtering of misinformation at all?

It is quite easy to disapprove their current standard on record because according to it, misinformation can be coming from a "Russian" source only and we all know there is much more misinformation in the world than that. Can we agree on this?

I am not saying that a search engine shouldn't be involved in filtering of misinformation. On the contrary, I think that DDG (and any other search engine) should absolutely be in the business of filtering all misinformation they can. Key here is "all".

But by being selective, and in this case based on a particular political view (and I use the word political in the context of world politics), introduces a bias which may negatively affect its users, without any particular benefit.

Makes sense?
Will there ever be bundles? Or some kind of bulk discount? Pay-per-article?

I'm a paid subscriber to a number of Substack writers, and I'd like to subscribe to more, but it can rapidly run into the hundreds of dollars per month - so I really have to pick and choose.

I can imagine bundles aren't really your model, and maybe aren't in your authors interest either. But I'd love to get like an Economics bundle and a New Zealand journalism bundle (shout-out to Bernard Hickey here, doing great work with his The Kaka Substack).

Or even a pay-per-article model - some of the free newsletters I'm on publish paywalled things I'm interested in, but I don't want to subscribe to the full deal. But I'd pre-load my account with $50 and pay a couple of dollars for a single article.

In a similar vein, LWN used to have a thing where people could pay to make the article free. There are sometimes paywalled articles I'd love to share around, but I don't want to deprive the author of revenue. If I could pay for a link that can be shared X number of times, or could chip-in to a "if enough people pay this article becomes free" fund, I would.
The English grammar mistakes bothered me so much. I couldn't read it till the end.
I mean that's different from the kind of fraud the parent post was talking about. If a user used their credit card to buy an NFT that quickly went to zero, that's not a fraudulent credit card transaction still - the user authorized that transaction. CC fraud would be if someone stole your credentials and bought something before the card was revoked.
the USSR didn't do too bad. NK just didn't start with much. Russia has a lot of tech. but look at NK: they have internet, developed nuclear weapons, trying to launch satellites, surviving covid (I assume), did not get invaded by US, still chugging along
A Government, even in Western democracies, is a severable and independent set of actors from the people it governs filled with people who have their own agency, view of the world, ambitions and a lot of power.

The Russian Military at least is staffed with people who are obligated to serve and die by their country. That’s part of being a soldier. It’s one thing to sanction a nation for the wars prosecuted by its leaders, but if you vilify the Russian people, you’re playing straight into Putin’s propaganda and frankly they don’t wholly deserve to be vilified either.

Assuming blockchain (and OpenSea atop that) count as "no middleman, no overhead" and not a new middleman (but it's a good one, because Andreessen Horowitz will make bank if it succeeds) atop technology that requires more energy consumption than small countries, it still isn't some magical wand that creates more people that spend disposable income on art.

Commissioning art is one of _many_ ways you can do this. Non-commissioned works are readily available too! I also purchase those! Some of these are one of a limited set (common for photo prints), some of these aren't (Bandcamp albums). Point being, if you were someone who wanted to buy art before NFTs, you could do so. I'm skeptical of there being some large market segment that desperately wanted to buy art but only realized they could with the advent of NFTs.

The royalty business model also already existed, where it made sense. There's no contract governing me reselling the painting I bought from someone at the local farmer's market because there wasn't any expectation on either my or the artist's part that it'd be resold at all, much less for a sum vastly greater than its purchase price. It's going to hang on my wall until I die, at which point it'll likely get tossed in a bin.

That's in contrast to say, a film score, where the expectation is that it will be resold (as part of your theater ticket price, but whatever) many times over: ASCAP exists, and handles paying the IP lawyers on behalf of its members, because that's a business model that works for them. They've been managing this just fine for over a century.
They are hoping that by not actually putting it that way, they can get away with it. I don't know if they can or not. It's up to the moderators to make that decision of whether it crosses a line.

If it were up to me, I'd tell people that they have to keep far away from the line, and not try to sidle up to it without crossing it. But as you can tell from the many other comments, many people disagree that there should be any moderation at all, and certainly would allow something that isn't explicitly a call for violence.

I am enjoying the irony of discussing the moderation of a nonviolent comment in a thread about relaxed moderation of violent content.

During my elementary school years (beginning of 198x USSR) the lead was a go to material for a lot of things - using campfires we melted the lead out of Navy cables and batteries (from the Navy dumps), no gloves, no masks, and made a lot of things out of it - toy action figures/soldiers for example, weights and weighted hooks for fishing, bullets for DYI guns, gear for some games, etc. (I'm a drop-out from PhD. program at a top Russian Math school - didn't see money in it and thus went into programming, so i guess the few IQ points i lost due to lead (i score usually about 130) is what caused such poor judgement :)

The first line didn't hook me, because picking up a book is generally a bigger effort than opening a page and looking at the first line.

This idea of "what makes a great opening line" is simply, to be simple to understand for me. You need to lead in to the next line and the next. The wandering text that was the first line of "We Love You Crispina" caused me to skip it. Once I reconsidered that it might have something important in it, I had to force myself to go back and re-read it. Multiple times. I am not going to remember that book.

seems accurate. personal computing seems dead as fuck. cloud & networks have ascended & end users have next to no power in modern computing. ellison called it?

> Ellison may have won the battle but not the war. The world still runs on Microsoft Office and expensive MacBooks – yet, the browser is the OS. Architecture can be a strategic distribution model, but don’t ship your architecture.

i see tbis very differently. ellison called the strategic war but lost the tactical battles- strategy still won but not with Soracle methods. tbh java is a wonderful platform for service development (i chalk this up largely to longstanding/great Context Dependency Injection + JAX-RS features). to claim that macos or office have real relevance rings ultra false to me though. they are last hanger-ons of a legacy world, small outposts of legacy software in a world taken over by cloudy anti-personal bullshit.

Adding lanes adds demand, and you get just as much (usually more!) congestion as before.
I find it strange that you accuse me of being "obtuse", but you respond with the most softball examples. What about calls of violence against "russians"? Is "let's find russian nationals in ukraine and lynch them" okay? What about "let's invade russia and kill women children as payback"? I would hope not, but based on a permissive reading of the article it certainly seems allowed.

That is not what a puppet regime is...especially when you consider that "ideological confines" for the US means free trade, civil liberties, justice system, free elections. Calling that a puppet regime is whitewashing the truly horrible puppet regimes that Russia is installing.

> Put bluntly, most people just don't work out hard enough.

Yup. Most people won't. Certainly not every day. 100 calories for ten minutes of excercise means that you're undoing your one workout you did this week on your first soda.

I think that the threshold of discipline for maintaining that kind of training schedule is higher than the discipline required to cut your calorie consumption. While the math correctly says you can excercise enough to offset any amount of bad eating habits, realistically forcing yourself to excercise is a similar task to forcing yourself to stop eating ice cream or whatever your vice is.

I also think that, as you pointed out, you burn so few calories while doing the type of low intensity excercise that amateurs, myself included do, you're really getting very little measurable impact on your calorie needs. So it becomes an act of self deception: oh I can cheat but I'll make up for it. You won't!
Reading articles may be an almost perfect fit for web, but we see a really clear pattern among the 70% of our users that read in mobile: they discover stuff to read on the web through links that get shared, but once they sign up they overwhelmingly read in their email client.

Email is actually pretty great for this, and email is especially powerful for giving writers direct connection to their readers. But there are limits to what you can do there, and stuff like community discussion, audio and video, and even 'not accidentally going to the promotions tab' can get a big upgrade.

Somewhat related: developing for email is still a pretty big pain. It's kinda like the bad old days when you had to support IE6 - lots of people still use old versions of outlook or whatever.
Pharmaceutical industry insider Paul Wood claims lab grown meat will never be cost-effective [1]:

> For four years, Wood, who has a PhD in immunology, served as the executive director of global discovery for Pfizer Animal Health. (His division was later spun off into Zoetis, today the largest animal health company in the world.) One of his responsibilities was to oversee production of vaccines, which can involve infecting living cells with weakened virus strains and inducing those cells to multiply inside large bioreactors. In addition to yielding large quantities of vaccine-grade viruses, this approach also creates significant amounts of animal cell slurry, similar to the product next-generation protein startups want to process further into meat. Wood knew the process to be extremely technical, resource-intensive, and expensive. He didn’t understand how costly biomanufacturing techniques could ever be used to produce cheap, abundant human food.

> ...

> Wood couldn’t believe what he was hearing. In his view, GFI’s TEA report did little to justify increased public investment. He found it to be an outlandish document, one that trafficked more in wishful thinking than in science. He was so incensed that he hired a former Pfizer colleague, Huw Hughes, to analyze GFI’s analysis. Today, Hughes is a private consultant who helps biomanufacturers design and project costs for their production facilities; he’s worked on six sites devoted to cell culture at scale. Hughes concluded that GFI’s report projected unrealistic cost decreases, and left key aspects of the production process undefined, while significantly underestimating the expense and complexity of constructing a suitable facility.

> ...

> “After a while, you just think: Am I going crazy? Or do these people have some secret sauce that I’ve never heard of?” Wood said. “And the reality is, no—they’re just doing fermentation. But what they’re saying is, ‘Oh, we’ll do it better than anyone else has ever, ever done.”
