War makes unlikely alliances. If you're fighting for the existence of your country you're not going to say no to the help of nazis. And if you're using the biggest social media platform on the planet to organize that war, you're going to want your allies on it.

What you've just discovered is that a unified policy across the entire world isn't actually the right policy. In one country you may want to ban some stuff you wouldn't ban in another one.
If you compare mainstream Russian media to mainstream US media and come to the conclusion that they're equally "utter shit", then you have no idea what you're talking about.

Which is not the Drudge Report, but the Drudge "Retort". The Drudge Report, seems to be completely removed, obviously intentionally.

If I'm wrong, let me know. But I'd be very surprised if you're getting the Drudge Report at the top hit, and everybody else isn't getting it on the first multiple pages.
> that's why a lot of people in middle east have a visceral hatred for Americans.

we had a lot of visceral hatred for them, too, because our media in the early 00s propagandized us into having visceral hatred for them, in order to manufacture consent for invasion. the rest of the decade was spent telling us that we were morally wrong for having this visceral hatred for them—despite said visceral hatred having been intentionally instilled upon us. now, in hindsight, few are willing to acknowledge what happened, because to do so would be to admit having had, in the past, irrationally visceral hatred for a broad group of people, for ill-defined reasons, only to go on to "unlearn" this behavior later on, and we all want to think of ourselves as good people, so let's just pretend none of that ever happened.

I fully expect this exact same pattern to play out again this time, too.
>> Russian soldiers invading Ukraine are combatants. Discussing battle tactics against soldiers is not the same as calling for violence against Russian civilians.

> Why is it happening on a social network that an American tech company is running and moderating?

If that's actually happening, it's because the perfect can be the enemy of the good. They're two weeks in to being invaded, so they're probably just scrambling to get organized and stay alive. I hope the Ukrainian military has better communications, but if the people in some neighborhood militia are expeditiously using FB to meet an immediate communications need, I think that's fine.

Though obviously once things stabilize a little they need to find something better, ASAP.

However, reading the article, this doesn't sound so much like it's because of discussions of battle plans, but rather a situation where hatred and calls to violence are justified and healthy responses, and their previous policies didn't capture that nuance.
Has it actually begun?
The worse this war gets the stronger Ukraine has to be afterwards and the more and faster help it will get from the west. So the fear of Ukraine maybe looking more successful than Russia in 10 years or maybe joining NATO in 10 years now has become Ukraine having a better economic outlook than Russia after two weeks, and both EU and NATO memberships (or at least some form of defense guarantees equivalent to NATO) look quite likely even in the short term.

The pain isn’t just economic. Everything he touches seems to have the completely opposite effect to what he says he wants, such as Ukraine/Finland/Sweden outside NATO. There is no logic.

> ~$2k on mentors from big corporations, $2-3K on courses, $1k on books (some of them rare) and $500 on my diet and nutrition.

These numbers are crazy. The diet and nutrition is the only one that seems reasonable. Are you paying people $2k a month to just talk to you? What kind of courses cost $2-3k a month every month? You're not going through $1k worth of books in a month either.

I kind of doubt that you're getting a good return. Maybe as a general statement investing in yourself is sensible and of course it's your money to spend but all of this seems a bit out there.
Sachin here (from Substack). I for one would be stoked about a MacOS app, although it's probably not the highest priority thing right now :)

Our next step within the Apple universe will most likely be to build an amazing iPad optimized experience. Right now the app works on iPad, but it's definitely not as great as it could be. A better iPad app would also be a good starting foundation for MacOS (and work on Silicon macs out the gate).
This seems like a bad idea. I certainly wouldn't miss Putin, but this all just opens up a can of worms and internet diarrhea. Leave that for subs on reddit where it's at least boxed off and easy to avoid.

That's harsh. Do they have tollbooths for visitors, then? Seems like the places I've been on the west coast with toll roads have ditched the actual toll booths and just use license plate recognition for billing cars without a pass. No penalty, but you get a discount if you have a pass.
I think there is a possibility that new monopolies learned from the old monopoly's mistakes, and they'll perhaps survive longer. Not Facebook though.
They have a live free app that you can download, play with, and give feedback on. So far so good.

However, it appears you have to create an account to interact with the app at all, which is not in the spirit of Show HN.

If a new startup posted a Show HN that required giving a live email address, they would be criticized for it (and most people probably wouldn’t go any further).

EDIT: it would be great if one of the founders could create a dummy account that we could log in with. That's something other founders have done in the past, and it would be more in the spirit of Show HNs:"Please make it easy for users to try your thing out, ideally without barriers such as signups or emails. You'll get more feedback that way.
And once the hardware gets copied what are they going to run on it? Is the entire country going to switch to some homebrew Linux distribution?

If Microsoft would just brick every Windows device (revoke license agreement) and block Github in Russia; it would be akin to wiping the majority of the computers in Russia. This conflict would be over in days. Russia would have to surrender via carrier pigeon.
I get mentors from different websites that come from Google, Amazon, Facebook, SpaceX etc... that can guide me in leading teams, starting my own startup and also help me in technical issues I am facing. I have found it beneficial in some way or maybe just a placebo effect. I think books are the best investments since they have completely changed my mindset about everything and how I move in life. The diet has also been beneficial since I have been gaining some weight due to work and stupid cravings.

You're editing a lot, so I want to snapshot what you said at the point of time I'm responding:

> Based on Chicago principles, less virtue signaling and more doing, apolitical and completely ruthlessly neutral (like Switzerland), highly capitalistic but also with strong integrity, protect the interest of United States and its allies, straightforward CEOs that don’t speak corporate lingo, work with DoD and DARPA, unwavering support for human rights. Above all, have conviction of their own and not buckle under pressure, and won’t sell out to questionable labor practices in China. 100% domestic.

> Seems to be a common response: if it’s not big tech it’s automatically 4chan.

That seems like a lot of oxymorons - what are they doing that is apolitical, but also happily involved in defense, but also interested in human rights? And neutral like Switzerland but only in regards to America?

If they enable the air force to better bomb civilians in a foreign country is that still apolitical and for human rights? How does it approach the knowledge that those agencies are doing their best to do questionable things to its own citizens rights? What happens in 4 years if domestic policy changes? Do they not lobby? And they never leave the United States? Can you have a Facebook/Google/Amazon and be exclusively in America?
Russian propaganda includes most of the strongest valid criticisms of US propaganda. US propaganda does not.
same, the door handles lighting up is such a nice touch. plus all the ambient lighting on the interior in modern cars.

I do have a preference for cloth seats and more buttons in interiors though. Leather invariably ends up cracking and looking like crap, and buttons provide a much more tactile experience.
I definitely hear this, but there is some tension here for us. One of the big values of Substack for writers is that it is the place where you can build your most valuable audience, which means:

1. When folks opt in, you can reach them whenever you want, unmediated by an algorithm
2. They can pay to subscribe, and you keep 90% of the economics and
3. You own your email list. You can leave Substack and take them with you.

These things create the incentive structure that allows great work to get done on Substack. But doing the secret email thing breaks #3. Part of the bargain as a reader on Substack is that you're giving your email.

Definitely hear you on the confirmation link thing.
Gsuite and office365 business essentials lets you do it for around $80 a year, and also gives you online office + storage.

iCloud lets you do it cheaper if you have apple+ or whatever it’s called.

Email services like Runbox and their American counterpart that someone here can probably name. Will let you do it even cheaper.

All of these options have guides on how to do it that I could follow with now knowledge on the stuff.

I have personally used all those options except for the iCloud one. I’m currently using office365, but I’m considering moving to iCloud since we have the Apple+ family thing anyway and it would save me $80 a year. I’ve just been too lazy to make the switch yet. I left runbox for gsuite because I wanted the storage, then left gsuite for office365 because Google made it harder to be a “private” customer on their business plan. The office365 thing is pretty amazing, but again, it’s currently a redundant expenditure for me.
Invading peaceful countries, bombing innocent women and children and threatening nuclear apocalypse is how Russian "democracy" works.
So much for Facebooks claim that the userbase is too big to effectively moderate
the leaders of the West are so bad at their jobs of keeping the West safe. the old leaders knew not to push Russia into a corner, considering they got nukes. for example, they made sure the fall of USSR was not too chaotic. the leaders we got now all read from prompters and have no sense of strategy. not only they didn't prevent this war (which I'm sure they could by cutting some deals), now they put gas on the fire on this war in Europe and expect we will all get out safe and only Russia will get hurt? madness.

Changing IPs is more expensive and requires more effort than being able to scan all ports from one IP, so yes they can certainly do that if they are determined, but the more expensive you make it for them to do that (resources, time, energy), the better a position you are in. Attackers can try anything, but it's defeatist to just let them instead of creating an obstacle.

You have a point that showing you're hiding something could potentially pique someone's interest, but also showing that you have few defenses and obstacles also makes you more appealing to an attacker since it makes you more worth their time. I don't think HTTP status codes are a good analogy, since they are more informative than a port being open/closed. If a port scan shows a port as closed, you don't have any information about whether a service is actually running there, just that you can't access it on a given IP address. If a scan shows filtered for a port then you can infer that it's there, but only accepts requests from a different IP. Also, running SSH on port 22 without any rate limiting is pretty much asking for brute forcing and makes you appealing as a target, even if they have no chance of succeeding it's still wasting resources. I like putting that on a high numbered port if possible, so someone has to port scan (with limited attempts) to even find it.

Depending on how aggressive and thorough you get with nmap (using the -T 5 option, OS/service version detection, and scripting that can actually run active exploits versus just reconnaissance), you can absolutely use up a good amount of CPU/bandwidth. This is a frequent problem for us at work when we are getting pentested, it can be very noisy and disruptive.

Though that resource usage comes more from the volume of traffic versus how it's rejected. Reduce the volume of ports they can try with one IP or in a given time frame, and reduce the resources you spend defending.

However, my understanding is that a firewall would help prevent nmap from doing complete TCP handshake simulations, depending on what type of nmap scan is being done and how the firewall is blocking traffic. So yes, each individual request is almost nothing if that's happening in kernel, but that could easily add up if someone's scanning all 65535 ports and doing an invasive scan. And I haven't even talked about scanning for UDP services, which take more energy on both sides since you don't have a TCP handshake to help you infer information easily.

I think it would help for you to use nmap on your own infrastructure from the position of an attacker: https://www.tryhackme.com/room/furthernmap
The funny thing is, if you spend too much time arguing with anonymous people on the Internet, you will routinely run into arguments that are both invalid and have false premises.

That's just dull contrarianism: suspecting "something fishy" just because everyone's opinions happen to line up. (As opposed to, I dunno, an obvious collective response to a nation doing something incontrovertibly wrong?)
Possibly, but thinking some more, not all lawyers work in such a fashion. Internal corporate lawyers may not have as much support, as they're more of a cost center than the money maker. The lawyers at the firm I worked at all were billable a lot, and were profit centers.

Even though a no-fly zone would certainty imply a warning of violence, it is not in itself an act of violence when established only in the airspace of a willing nation to the detriment of an aggressor. Russia has no inalienable right to fly over Ukrainian territory.

I am not a supporter of the no-fly zone request from Ukraine, and it would almost certainty escalate the situation to the point of NATO being at war with Russia. However, it would be theoretically possible for the no-fly zone to be imposed without a single Russian plane being shot down—all Russia would have to do is to cease flying over Ukraine.

Surprised to see no talk about revenue. I am highly cynical about it - This hate that we're talking about sells. It sells like hotcakes. The entire world is on a binge with it.

Start from a problem you have and work from there. If you don't have any (unsolved) problems then ask the people around you, you're bound to find something. But finding and solving a problem is half the work, the other half (and hardest part) is getting eyeballs on what you built.

IT WAS NIGHT AGAIN. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.

The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. If there had been a wind it would have sighed through the trees, set the inn’s sign creaking on its hooks, and brushed the silence down the road like trailing autumn leaves. If there had been a crowd, even a handful of men inside the inn, they would have filled the silence with conversation and laughter, the clatter and clamor one expects from a drinking house during the dark hours of night. If there had been music . . . but no, of course there was no music. In fact there were none of these things, and so the silence remained.

That isn't a "first and last line are the same" but rather "the prologue and the epilogue are the same".

For my favorite self reference, however, is part of the Jhereg / Taltos series by Burst. He does it a couple times, though the one that sticks in my mind the most is a prologue that is a cleaning / clothing repair list. "Tear on left sleeve" type thing. Then each chapter, that issue happens to the clothes.

Many years ago (pre-Fbook/Google) I recall thinking “Most of the smartest technic people I know are going to Apple” and “The ones at IBM are business majors latching onto standards.”

After Gerstner saved them from the dead, it took much longer than I expected for IBM to flounder. Perhaps this is because they were smart enough to not invest (waste money) in new technology that they were incapable of building. Yes, for them it was smart. They created much more shareholder value buying back stock and auditing their existing customer base as they wind the company down. It’s awful to be a customer of theirs when your predecessors let them in the door, but that’s how they keep the machine running.

I wonder how to square with the fact that continuing to do business in Russia would mean continuing to pay taxes, that would fund a war-waging government.

Maybe they can point Russians to an online store outside Russia's jurisdiction. Sadly for the ordinary Russian, Visa and MasterCard have also disabled the ability to use their cards overseas (within Russia it seems they outsourced the processing to a Russian company, which is still functioning).
If I find myself stuck behind a slow driver, it is very likely (statistically) to be a prius.

I'm uncertain if it is the demographic that buys a prius, or the techno display that rewards frugal driving.
Firstly - love love love Substack. It's so simple but it's so rapidly become a place where I do so much reading. I have a few questions (mostly not about the app though, I'll have to wait for Android support to try that).

1. How did you guys manage to attract writers? I know you have been signing fronting agreements. Superficially, Substack is a (fairly basic?) blogging platform + email + payment processing system. That doesn't feel particularly hard to put together, though maybe I totally underestimate that. So what's powering Substack's growth is that you were able to get guys like Greenwald, Taibbi, Scott Alexander etc on board. How much of your growth do you think is product vs business/dealmaking?

2. You've been strong defenders of free speech, especially in the last two years where there's been a ton of censorship. Really, it's helped a lot, I've felt like Substack was one of the few places I could find rational and logical takes on things like lockdowns at a time when everyone else was losing their minds. Do you have some sort of strong philosophical take on this, or is it a sort of default because censorship takes specific effort and you're busy with growth?

3. Related to that, the pattern of tech firms being open access and supporters of free speech for some years and then later losing that as they hire more and more people (especially, new grads) seems to be a recurring one. Given you're based in San Francisco, do you have a plan to actually keep Substack the way it is, in the face of hiring employees who might demand you constantly cancel the witch-du-jour?

4. There's IMO a ton of potential for innovation with group discussions. To me, Slashdot was actually the peak of innovation in large scale anonymous forum discussions with many clever features, crowdsourced moderation, friends/foes, meta-mods etc. Do you plan to try new things with discussions, or stick to a conventional approach? Right now it's pretty basic.
