It's worth considering the fact that this being a "premium domain" is the only reason it was even available register in the first place. If it had been a $12/year domain, some annoying domainer would have snatched it up

I understood that criticism but don't think it's correct, as many others have pointed out. This is MIT licensed software running on a server. Substack is not redistributing software to end users, by any common definition.

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. Substack is positioning themselves to their customers, which are journalists/authors, as a comprehensive alternative to having a normal job working at a newspaper or magazine. That seem

On the one hand, it does seem like it'd be nice if Substack had signed a support/integration deal with the Ghost team. That way Ghost could have gotten paid something for their hard work, and Substack could have avoided critical

Despite trying these tools many times, I still find myself just running `du -sm * | sort -g`. It works and it's easy to pipe to grep, etc.

Many people have been confused about why he's talking so much publicly, which is clearly self-destructive if he plans to mount a legal defense. One logical explanation is that this is a prelude to him committing suicide. His public int

Hopefully, yes, but we can't just ignore the tens of thousands of flights flying 2-3-4 hours from the nearest airport every year. Particularly because these are the biggest airplanes with the most passengers.

You cut off half of the sentence to quote it out of context... And if you're right, why aren't mobs of Americans attacking suspected hijackers already? Why didn't passengers attack the guy speaking Arabic or doing math? The e

You're not gambling on the dumbest person. You're gambling on the collective intelligence of dozens or hundreds of people, in coordination with a trained flight crew with access to cameras, radios, etc. Tens of millions of people

Smuggled tools, some kind of creative solution using onboard materials, a weakness they've discovered, etc. In order words, its not safe to assume a team of intelligent and motivated hijackers couldn't break into a cockpit given s

A team of hijackers could almost certain break the cockpit door given sufficient time (maybe hours) of unfettered access to do so.

(Presumably) only when the fate of the entire aircraft, or a substantial portion of the passengers, is in jeopardy.

> You'll have a lot of passengers attacking each other for no reason. This is a remarkably bad idea. Why are people going to attack each other for no reason? Hijackers typically do very obvious things, like try to break into the c

Air marshals may be pointless, but not for this reason. Air marshals are almost certainly trained not to intervene in minor disturbances. Otherwise a team of hijackers could locate the air marshal by having one person act as an unruly passe

Seems like we could very safely abolish the air marshal program. It may have been useful pre-9/11 but Flight 93 seems to prove that it's not necessary anymore. Anyone attempting to hijack a flight full of Americans is going to be

Yeah, too many people seem to accept the idea that law enforcement officers are not civilians. In my view, which seems to be the correct legal definition, anyone that is not a member of the military is a civilian.

Please allow third-parties to add server apps to Hetzner! Currently there's like a dozen added by Hetzner (presumably), so many cool ones are missing.

It's really weird isn't it, how at some point Musk became the new focus of Two Minutes of Hate[1]? Sure, there are plenty of valid and harsh criticisms to make about Musk. I'm sure he'd even agree with a lot of them. But

Nix feels to me like a cool but somewhat hacky v1 of a really great idea. I'm hoping someone creates a much more elegant successor. If Nix is CVS or even Subversion, I'm hoping for Git.
