If you have any professional connection at all to Linux then $11/mo is an absolute bargain!
I highly recommend subscribing if you can. It's really one of the great ones and it's still oldshool style, not a lot of fluff, just nerds presenting nerdy news.
I know the editors visit these discussions: please, next time use a more descriptive title! I nearly had a fit when I saw that, really thought LWN is going down like it almost did 20 years ago. Happy to pay the new price, even though I can only afford the cheapest tier.
You'll be happy to know the title has been updated. Apologies for any undue concerns we have caused. :)
Not enough of a spine to say "We're increasing LWN subscription prices"?
Also, nice editorializing in the submission: "A Note from LWN". Yeah, a "note".
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's the thing though. You can get all the value from LWN through here. Even if it wasn't for them tolerating subscriber links being posted on HN, the week-long delay isn't nearly enough an incentive to actually subscribe, rationally speaking.
This is why nobody likes economists.
Are there more things like LWN for other fields/subjects? A math LWN of sorts, for example? I would happily pay for it too if it follows this model.
If you want stuff to exist in the world, pay for it. Work is work, and expecting things to be free, or to never raise their prices, is a good way to ensure that they don't last.

Their pricing is at US levels not world levels.
