Ten-year timeline part 4: the end and the beginningTen-year timeline part 4: the end and the beginningPosted Feb 5, 2008 16:04 UTC (Tue) by NAR (subscriber, #1313)Parent article: Ten-year timeline part 4: the end and the beginning Subscription rates have also stayed unchanged, even though raising them is also tempting. Actually from Europe it's not really true, because the same 10$ worths a lot less today than 6 years ago, so the LWN subscription is a lot cheaper today: the project manager level was 2453 HUF back then, now it's 1735 HUF - and we've had about 5-6% percent yearly inflation, so it's really a bargain.

Ten-year timeline part 4: the end and the beginning Posted Feb 13, 2008 13:15 UTC (Wed) by ekj (guest, #1524) [Link] True. For example, from a Norwegian perspective: $10 in 2002 was 67kr - which was aproximately the net pay from 45 minutes of working a beginner-level programming-job. Today $10 is 55kr, which is aproximately the net pay from 20 minutes of working a beginner-level programming-job. The price of Lwn measured against what matters, salaries, is more than -halved- in these 5 years. Even if we ignored the increased living-standard and counted only the dollar-fall and inflation, it's still a price-fall from 70nok to 55nok in 6 years, a significant decrease. Besides, LWN has "starving hacker" modes for those who have problems paying the "normal" price, and that is dirt-cheap, the price of a hotdog in Norwegian terms, literally (actually in many locations the hotdog may cost more)
