It's really cool to get compensation for work on your own project. And $700/week is a lot in the country I'm living in, it's enough for hiring 2-4 good software developers (I know a few groups of people who do work for YC companies).

But I would feel very uncomfortable knowing that the person who pays me doesn't get something valuable back and doesn't really need what I'm working on (but rather "provides more value to the universe"). That is probably just me, though.

This was exactly my experience as well (especially the UX part). Moreover, when scrolling the website was freezing (Firefox on Linux Mint).

Corruption level is high in Russia, you're right here. But totalitarian government? I'm afraid, you drink too much someone else's Kool-aid. And as for the GDP fall. Could you please provide some references? Because mine show that it's not even close to what you've written [1] [2]. I'd like to read more about generations in the army and the aged military, too. Lack of any references but very big conclusions. That's exactly how pro-Russian trolls' messages look like.

>> When you point out to them how internet or cellphone networks or taxis or a number of other things is actually cheaper in Russia (or in eastern Europe in general) because of the lack of regulations or government interference, they go in denial.

Cool. I'm from a small 3rd world country. Just as in Russia the police officers sometimes rape detainees with bottles of champagne, there is literally no justice, but lots other funny things.

But our prices are lower than those in Russia. And it's OK if you are not paying taxes here. So what? Does it mean the rest of the world must be envy?

>> Can you charge double and still keep your customers coming back?

I can charge 4000% and still keep my customers coming back.

Could you provide a few examples of reputable and not so reputable CAs?

I'm not interested in C++, not using it, do not care about it. So, I am neither visiting HN links that are about C++ nor taking part in discussions related to C++.

And I'm really curious what drives people in this thread that are coming to say they do not want to use Go, do not like it, and stuff like that?

How does it work? Looks like David Blaine street magic. I'm getting pretty good results even if keywords are really poor.

Well, sending some user files to Ukrainian server is a bug.

But sending hashes of your downloads to Google [1][2] is a feature, right?

>> Are you telling me that those same lawyers don't have iPhones

SUDDENLY, you know nothing about China and other developing & 3rd world countries.

> I don't know whether Scott is comparing Australia to UK/US or to other more latin countries like Spain or France.

Both Spain and France are European countries.

>> Testing showed that the opah is able to maintain a core body temperature about 5 degrees Celsius warmer than the surrounding water.

I'm curious, what tasting will show.

But accelerators are not only about money, aren't they? How about a process of looking for co-founders, learning... Video chats may be used for a better communication. At least, online model can be combined with the classical accelerators. What do you think?

News about Pavel's departure appeared long before the conflict you're talking about. So these two events are not connected.

>> I've been following the Crimea conflict very closely (which almost certainly is also what caused Pavel's departure) Reference is needed.

It is not possible to censor what does not exist, right?

The Russian article Gregory Ferenstein has referred to looks like a translation from English: "Съёмку поставят вне закона" and "кто-то из журналистов будет схвачен"... Well, that's definitely written by some English speaking guy (for Russian public).
