Interesting. My knee-jerk reaction was "what a decadence". Then again, it might benefit somehow, just wondering how...

A quote from the project page: "This project is not just about being green, it’s a whole systems approach to design, construction and habitation. It will demonstrate that change is possible and has many advantages for the planet, our cities and business."

Sounds vague.


It was ~4 years ago, so might have changed... The main problem I had with AWS LAMBDA is that it's impossible to remote debug. This made deploying a working component (fully tested in isolation) a pain. I had to play with IAM policies it needed, and without a way to connect and debug, it was a time-consuming "addPrintDebug-deploy-check" loop.


For the scale comparison:

According to the central bank, Russia's total exports reached $489.8 billion in 2021. Of that, crude oil accounted for $110.2 billion, oil products for $68.7 billion, pipeline natural gas for $54.2 billion and liquefied natural gas $7.6 billion

Possibly war crime.


Somehow I find this possibility a little reassuring.



Their comment is technically valid.

The timing of the block is bad though. It'd be great if they could comment on the timing.


One twitter comment mentions the account has been active for several years. Call me paranoid, but it's too big of a coincidence that it was closed exactly today.


The development of all out war probably had something to do with it


It's easy to have principles when there is no price.

Yes, the timing is very bad. It would be good to read Patreon's comments on this.

I just hope it's not a fear of Russian's hackers.


> But Patreon told CNBC that using the site to support the purchase of military equipment was banned.

I didn't check the ToS. This might be true. However, in case they should've prohibited the creation of the campaign.

It's probably a mistake on Patreon's side, both in terms of business (if this goes viral) and communicating company values.
