At least we now know how they are getting around charging fees on subscriptions: Force you onto Anchor where they get a cut of ad revenue. Have to say I prefer the Apple approach, being able to host anywhere but giving Apple at cut of subsc

Looks pretty cool! I have ended up settling on a similar setup for my writing in VS Code. I am a heavy outliner so instead of [FileTree][Markdown][Preview] I use [FileTree][Outline][Markdown]. I'm not sure I would find the various bits

Or maybe they are just following the "don't use your own supply" rule.

Torque is certainly important, which is why I was a bit surprised that they haven't released torque figures for this. Just the ever nebulous "twice as much as similar sized competitors"

Those were my thoughts as well. Around the size of a hobby tractor and it will be interesting to see if they can scale it up without losing endurance. I also feel that 10 hours of battery time isn't sufficient outside of the hobby spac

A great read, really gets at both what military history can be, and the way that it can be reductively criticized. The roots of military history within the education systems of the elites is important, it promoted so much focus on military

You are absolutely correct, I should have been more clear that I meant they would be too expensive to go to the number of ANG squadrons that currently fly the C/D, I think they would have to double current F-22 numbers.

Seems mostly like a stopgap to me. This is meant to replace a bunch of old F-15 C/Ds which are aging out of their operational life. The -18s are Navy, and so using them in the Air Force to replace existing -15s would be pricey on the l

You can, but you will not get ad money (which requires Affiliate/partner).

Monetization. The platforms require Affiliate/Partner streamers (so people with Subscribe buttons) to be exclusive streamers on their platform.

I'm not entirely sold on the design, but at least it will make macOS look a bit more consistent, up until now there have been little pockets of "old UX" like Finder, Mail, etc. and "new UX" with the Notification Cen

During the "Golden Age" of Usenet, which I believe many people to consider to be pre-Eternal September, the number of Americans with any form of internet access was just a fraction of the population. I am finding varying figures o

You are correct, copy paste error. Thank you for the correction. I have also updated my information above.

Definitely very US focused. Misses out on some of the areas where the pandemic had the most devastating effects. One interesting story from The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History by John M. Barry: "Freet

Yes, this was a big reason why it was initially named the Spanish Flu. At the time that it began (with the war still on) Spain was one of the few countries that did not have very stringent press censorship in place. This is discussed in sev

This is what runs through my mind everytime one of these articles shows up on HN. There is no easy way to undo decades of urban sprawl across the US, especially when many cities have huge amounts of space around them to make this possible.

When I read this Vienna article, I agree that it has perhaps a bit less marketing speak (although I don't think the two paragraphs from the Wiki Intro you pulled are indicative of the whole article) but it is not any less positive on t

I think in that case the value of unionization might not be in the present but instead guarding against future problems that the union would seek to fight against. It is much easier to proactively organize, and then keep those problems out,

I don't have a business, but I have been working on a side project for almost 5 years after hours, I commit about 20 hours a week to it. At the beginning I tried what I called 'super days' that sound a lot like yours. What I

They definitely get the money before distributing it. They will also pass any payment processing delays onto the creators, which just happened at the beginning of this month.

Judging by the amount of emails I get form them I think a good portion of those new people are part of their Creator Growth team (or whatever they call it). In the last year there has been a huge increase in Patreon created content trying t

This uses a very common, very oft quoted, but also very wrong myth about why the Maginot line was created and what its purpose was. Its purpose was not to stop a German attack head on, it was not to defend the entire course of territory tha

I don't think it is either too challenging or too complex for politicians and people to understand, the problem is one of incentives. Those with the resources that could be taxed and redistributed do not want to be taxed and have resou

I am fortunate enough to be on the $10 plan, but given how little traffic my site gets cutting it in half with the smallest DO box would still be nice.

The general feeling I get when reading through some of the content released after Tolkien's death (History of the Lord of the Rings books specifically) is that the reason the first half of the Fellowship is at a slower pace than the re

In this case I believe it would have to be "fair" due to the political power of home owners in most areas of the United States. The fastest way to lose every vote from Suburbia is to lower the value of their greatest investment.
