I don't really understand the problem here. "following" doesn't give the same content as a paid subscription, it doesn't make sense that anybody is cancelling their paid subscriptions to follow instead. a follow on substack only gets you the same content as a free subscription with no access to paid articles, so what does it matter if somebody subscribes instead of follows?

is the complaint here really just that these people want a vanity metric that makes their "subscriber count" higher so nobody can tell that most of those subscribers aren't paying subscribers?
I've gotten addicted to cryptic crosswords recently. I've been working through the Guardian's backlog, because it doesn't need a subscription.

If you want your devices on your LAN to have publicly routable IP addresses, by definition they need to be GUA. I think you just mis-understand what end-to-end connectivity means.

Your "WAN" is a small transit subnet between your router and your ISPs, while the "LAN" is the actual public ip space you will be assigning to your end devices.

>If an address is publicly routable, what's "LAN" about it?

Routable or not, it's LAN because it's in your network behind your router. It's just an identifier.
It’s a minor change to me. Something fried in a nonstick pan may not have the same sear as a steel or iron pan, but it’s a lot closer than steaming, which is a totally different thing.
Well that proves substack is providing value.

It proves the platform, that offers a high concentration of high average writing quality blogposts and a reliable trusted platform (For readers), has more value for readers, than some particular writer's writing.

This whole paid-blog space didn't even exist before substack, except for a handful like stratchery. So clearly its substack/marketplace that made things possible, not the writers. So writers should examine their egos before they complain this way.

Its like the indie game devs who whine about steam, forgetting that before steam, the PC game marketplace was a nuclear wasteland dominated by piracy and MMOs.

We have the same timeline and general opinion — BUT SN has shown several serious bugs over the years … one of which locked me out of my account at a very inconvenient time, and support was responsive but ultimately could not help. Another thing I’ve seen is a password-protected file will display its contents for 1 or 2 seconds before being obscured and asking for a password. These have given me pause as to the robustness of the security of SN. Hopefully Proton can put some attention to these issues.
Yes, but fat also increases satiety.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you should be eating meals, not snacks and adding fat. You will eat less both during a meal and after.

I've never been in this space, but from everything I've read this is fundamentally it. It seems like so many think "just ask for people to contribute and that will work" - but fundamentally people don't.

There are cost to do that work and people don't pay. And the one person chimes in and says "hey I contribute and support x and y and z things and people can and should do it". But "should" doesn't pay the bills.

Either charge people, make money off adds or you nine times out of 9 get next to nothing for the work you've put in.

"maybe if payment were easier", "maybe if paying small amounts scaled", "maybe if this xyz tech were more robust" - and people love to respond with this. But it doesn't work now, and it hasn't worked in 30+ years of the web and there is no reason to think it will start working any time soon.

Can it? Yes. But until then, people who want to be compensated for their hard work have two options and they use them.

Yes, that happens: when private ventures go sour, which happens rather frequently, they go bankrupt.

Public ventures are like that, but without the bankruptcy.
We actually gave up on wrong-layer firewalling where I work, as it was just too much upkeep. We had enough engineers (… like two dozen, so not a lot in absolute terms) and ISPs rotate public IP address assignments way too often. And every time it happens it takes a while, as that person has to debug with usually terrible diagnostics. (Since the network is just dropping their packets.)

The thing about v6 is … you can just firewall permit like the entire North America block to whatever ports absolutely must be exposed … and just not get any attacking traffic?, at least if the address isn't somehow otherwise discoverable. This isn't possible on v4 (there is no such block, due to the space's fragmentation), and opening up v4 otherwise does expose you to a cesspool of incoming maliciousness. (Though … there are tools for this.)

If there was decent tooling available to me for "here are the IP addresses of the userbase" (e.g., some sort of phone-home system) that could keep the firewalls in sync with reality, I'd be more enthusiastic about it.

But the status quo is largely "security teams want IP firewalling, but don't want to figure out how to actually implement that in a manner that it will realistically work and not waste engineers time filing dozens of security requests".

> How is a corporation supposed to use its billion dollars to gain an advantage here? Anything they do to make themselves less attractive to workers would just cause the workers to pick one of the other thousand prospective employers. To do otherwise would require some kind of deception or collusion, which are illegal.

This line of thinking assumes that corporations are unwilling or unable to use economic and political leverage to avoid the consequences of their actions or to change the law to let them do what they want. I don't think that stands up to scrutiny.

We should have better corporations AND better unions. Cable companies are good examples of corporations that get away with collusion by working with municipal governments to create exclusive contracts.
Do you know what cut Apple Pay charges you?

Do you know many paid readers aren't even using apple devices to read them?

It'll also cost time and effort for Ghost to somehow make Apple pay enabled for an open source platform (Probably a nightmare). Who is going to pay the ghost devs for that.

In the end, substack's biggest advantage is its 10% cut, which is really not much. Any attempt to replicate it will quickly run up into this cost limit.

It just doesn’t, which is one of many reasons why low fat public health policy has failed to reduce obesity.

When people don’t eat fat, they eat more. If you have the self control around food to eat a low fat diet and reliably stick to your macros, you’re probably not at a place where you’re overweight to begin with.

Giving your stomach something complex to break down while actually giving your body what it needs to add to vitamin stores results in less food consumed. You can’t treat diet like a Lego set of what to eat while ignoring physiology.
In theory, if you have a folder with every files that have every two-letter combination at the start, there will be 650 files with distinct letters and only 26 files that have the same first letter and same second letter.

In practice, the amount of actual words that have the same first letter as the second letter is minuscule. Even words that have the same letter appearing twice in sequence.

It's just optimized for the most convenient scenario.
It really delves into the topic, would you say?

Here are my truths:

1. I never thought about any of this until recently

2. Even without donations, writing has provided some cool experiences

3. And yet, thinking about it, I would love to make more off my writing

4. I don't want to sacrifice the quality of my writing for my income. Placing ads (and hell, even donation links, but especially ads) creates a perverse incentive to create more content than I want to, and to make it ugly to rank high in Google. Above all else, I want to keep my writing human, even if it means I don't make a dollar.

So, with all this in mind (and to provide "advice" for others looking at this)

1. I don't want to force people to subscribe to a newsletter. I might add a newsletter, because I've been told that building trust takes time, but that's low on my priority list.

2. I don't want to add google ads or whatever.

3. I've recently (today) added Ko-fi in addition to liberapay. I thought that people who actually wanted to give me money would be willing to use paypal through a platform they haven't used before, but I'm not sure this is the case. Right now, only 1% of people who have clicked that donate link have actually donated

4. The plea is much more effective than a simple link in getting people to click

5. Corporate sponsorships are a possibility imo, but I haven't yet recieved one that didn't involve me selling out my readers somehow.

Ultimately, I think the harsh reality is that projects must place themselves on a spectrum of "make fuck tons of money" and "make fuck tons of people happy"
Cats, more likely.

Indeed this is confusing to most people (myself included the first time I dealt with it), since if your phone company says they’re giving you a credit, you're getting money.
I'm not in the US, but drug politics is pretty similar globally due to the Single Convention of Narcotic Drugs of 1961 and its successors.

Asthma inhalers just happen to fall under a prescription requirement in my country like most other drugs. Sure, this has its benefits, but also downsides. That's really all there is to it. I only brought it up, because I rarely see this side mentioned. Everybody seems to think that prescriptions aren't a barrier, but from my experience that's not true.
I'm so used to whatever flawed abstractions I have in my head that I fear learning the truth could be detrimental.
The ETag can be _anything_. I have an API that serves "files" from a backend storage system. Whenever files are written a revision number is incremented. This is perfect for a weak validator and so my ETags are also blisfully short and semantically useful, typically:

ETag: W/"750"

This also means the API can just check the revision number and avoid pulling out and decompressing some of the larger payloads that are stored there and the implementation is absolutely minimal. It's a great standard.
Just left Google a few months ago.

My take is that there's a difference between a company that is willing to invest money into EngProd endeavors, and a company that uses SaaS for everything. While I can understand that most companies don't have the financial means to invest heavily into EngProd, the outcome is that the tightly integrated development experience in the former is far superior. Code Search is definitely #2 on the list of things I miss the most.

> Let's get one thing out of the way up front: streaming music is bad for artists.

I understand the payout per artist is low. But what about the total payout across all artists? Is problem streaming or the low barrier to entry as a band and/or label? In other words, is a sizable but finite (X ppl listening Y hrs per day) payout split between too many artists?
It doesn't affect the platform in any significant way.

Because brands on substack belong to the writer, not the site. The money making substack writers don't care, every writer's substack is its own ecosystem.

Substack is also no ads, so no advertisers to please. It has no bandwidth costs like youtube.

It also doesn't care about normies who would be scared by this. Normies do not pay $5-10/month for some random internet writer, normies scroll tiktok.

That's because it isn't really generating a weak ETag. From the article:

> You could make the `calculateETag` function format-agnostic, so the hash stays the same if the JSON format changes but the content does not. The current `calculateETag` implementation is susceptible to format changes, and I kept it that way to keep the code shorter.

They seem to agree, a true weak ETag implementation would probably be trickier and require more code :P I'd be fascinated to see how that might work in practice, though.
The article did a terrible job of helping me understand the difference between a subscription and a follow.
>The thing about v6 is … you can just firewall permit like the entire North America block to whatever ports absolutely must be exposed … and just not get any attacking traffic?, at least if the address isn't somehow otherwise discoverable.

I have a live feed of packets dropped by my firewall's "deny incoming on WAN by default" rule for fun, and I do occasionally see v6 packets being dropped. They're random addresses under the /48 that was delegated to me but which don't actually belong to any devices. So it doesn't seem to be because someone is actually harvesting IPs from my outgoing traffic, just guesswork. There was also one time where someone was very methodically testing every /64 by incrementing one at a time, with random bytes in the lower half, ie 2001:db8:abcd::$random, 2001:db8:abcd:1::$random, ...

The vast majority of dropped packets are v4 though.

> If you want to scrub your pan out and get it really clean,

You can scrub just fine with a chain scrubber or metal scraper. You shouldn't use Scotch-Brite pads, sandpaper, or other highly abrasive methods, but scrubbing is not an issue.

You shouldn't soak.

You can use most dish soaps. Some detergents are still caustic, but anything you can get on your hands without issue is fine. Don't use Ajax or similar highly alkaline and/or abrasive compounds. No lye.

Re-seasoning after cleaning shouldn't need the oven. Get it hot on medium-low heat, wipe it with a thin layer of a reasonably unsaturated oil (refined olive oil, rapeseed AKA Canola oil, etc.) on a rag. Let it cool. If you really screwed it up repeat the process a once or twice. If you've totally stripped the pan and are putting on a totally new seasoning, 6-10 times is enough.

All that said, I agree about acidic foods. Much like highly alkaline cleaners, they can degrade the seasoning. I use stainless steel for those.

I likewise agree that each type of material has its place. I don't use nonstick because I have pet birds, and even tiny amounts of overheating can cause enough fumes to kill them. The rest are all useful to me.
That's why I was saying electronics are the driver. As they've become more advanced, people have spent more time on them and less time socializing.

Also, I'm not going to dismiss the "devil who destroys the morale of our youth" accusation cause I'm way too young to remember a time before TV. For all I know, maybe social life was better before it. I used to miss out on visiting my cousins because they were "busy" silently watching a football game for hours every weekend.
The domestic RO systems put pressure on the clean water output and don't have recovery systems for brine pressure? What? My only experience with RO systems are on sailboats, where a brine pressure recovery system is the only way to get the power down, and the water trickles into the tank under low pressure from where it is pumped out.

What servers? They're a cable ISP. I'm sure they also have some business users, many of which will be hosting servers, but that's not really the first thing I think of when I hear "Comcast has deployed IPv6".

I'm thinking people connecting iPads and lightbulbs to some CPE, not data centers. And Comcast does that via IPv6, as do many cable or fiber ISPs these days. Many don't assign public IPv4 addresses to their residential customers anymore.
Whole eggs, like also most kinds of dairy, have similar amounts of fat and proteins, so indeed they are not much better as sources of proteins than nuts or seeds.

On the other hand, lean meat is almost pure protein, so its ratio of protein vs. energy is 3 to 4 times better than for vegetable sources.

Even with whole eggs, you can get much less calories than with lentils, if they are used to supplement cereal proteins, because they have a significantly better lysine to calories ratio, so when the amount of required lysine is specified you can eat less of them than in the case when their amount would be computed to provide a specified amount of protein.
> accounting a solved problem but apparently not.

well, it is if you do it on books, not in natural language.

since it looks deceptively simple everyone throws around sentences that are screaming for mandatory context.

the whole GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) (and certs like CFA too) are about codifying this context.

what goes where is the name of the game. can you consider this or that an asset or not? is that an expense or you got credit from your vendor, because they shipped it before you paid it? which quarter does it belong to if they shipped it before new year's eve but we only pay it next financial year? etc... etc...

that said accounting is not a mechanical system. there are quite a lot of degrees of freedom ... but there are of course clearly wrong ways to do it ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_accounting )

oh, and when someone says debit/credit just use a spray bottle on them and ask them to simply state clearly what happens with the fucking number on which of your accounts, does it increase or decrease. (ie. they should just say that the money goes from this account to that account, and suddenly there's no ambiguity.)
> Traffic for that /48 will be routed to your router.

Okay, now it makes sense. I'm not sure how else I expected it to work.
Have you tried watching wrestling, judo, or no-gi BJJ?

Wrestling/no-gi BJJ doesn't have a gi, so players can't lock down their opponents as much and there's a lot more movement in neutral. And Judo has a gi, but the way you win is via high-amplitude throws, which is a much more spectacular win condition. I think they're both much more exciting to watch than regular gi BJJ, especially for non-practitioners.

I think BJJ's main spectator-unfriendly flaws are that it has a gi and doesn't reward high-amplitude movements. So, unsurprisingly, the metagame has evolved around locking down your opponents.

(Background: I did Judo as a kid, and do BJJ now.)
> Before anyone bothers "correcting" me with nonsense about buying a license instead of a copy, don't bother.

> It's impossible to convince me that it's wrong to share a copy with my wife, any more than it'd be wrong to lend her my physical copy after I'm done reading it.

I completely agree with you on this issue. I think it's grotesque the way digital "purchases" work, to the point where I am boycotting Kindle and every other place that has DRM (and while it's a drop in their ocean, it does cost them probably $500 to $1,000 per year in sales from me. Though I have no illusion that it's making a difference, but it matters to me).

But that said, I think closing your mind so completely before you've even heard a counter-argument is irresponsible and anti-intellectual. I doubt anybody is going to change my mind either, but I would like to hear the strongest possible arguments against my position so I can evaluate my correctness. If my position is solid, then it will be hard to make a great argument against it. If my position isn't solid, I would like to know so I can get on more solid rational ground.

I have built and sold RO systems for 20+ years. It's a weird industry and there are some competing desires in place. In general it's kind of a mess and it's difficult for consumers to navigate.

You can build your own system for less than $150 from cheap parts on ebay.
You can buy a branded unit at a big box or amazon for $150-250.
Or a "health" branded version for $300-800.
Or have an installer put whatever they sell in for $500-1500.

My experience is that you will get nearly identical water quality from each of those systems. There are different options and some fine details but the fundamentals haven't changed in decades and you are paying for some collection of service, parts quality, future replacement costs, marketing and snake oil.

NSF certification is good, it will rule out products that are flat out harmful. I have seen lots of cheap filters with fake certifications and there are many great filters that it don't carry certification. NSF material and safety cert (51) is a good one to look for, beyond that is has more to do with how the product will be sold and marketed than a real measure of performance.

$250-500 is probably the right price range for a diy install unit. Check for replacement part costs, buy something with standard components and cartridge sizes. Learn how it works, change the filters on time and expect to replace components every now and then.
