Doesn't work for that site. Archive/Whatever only works if a site lets Google have free access so Google can index it and that one (like most off-brand news blogs) doesn't.

That's not how Archive works - it saves pages using people's browsers. Try archiving a page yourself and you can watch it do so.

[PaulHoule]

What it shows you is a progress report of what it is doing on the server. If you queue something for it to archive and close your browser and then come back later the page will be archived.

I never even heard of this website/magazine and even they have a Paywall.

[jaredwiener]

It's almost as if their desire for getting paid for their work is unrelated to your awareness of them.

I mean, what's an extra $120–$299 per year to subscribe to this website, especially when it's of such high quality that it already has

> 5,00,000+ subscribers [sic]

?

[puzzledobserver]

It looks like the website is based in India.

Instead of the ones(10^0)-thousands(10^3)-millions(10^6)-billions(10^9)-... system followed in most other parts of the world, the Indian numbering system uses ones(10^0)-thousands(10^3)-lakhs(10^5)-crores(10^7)-...

So, for example, half a million subscribers (500,000) would translate to 5 lakh subscribers (5,00,000).

[esalman]

Does this website also have a print version, and maybe counting those subscribers? Not really familiar.

Another day, another trivia tidbit :-) Love HN. Thanks for sharing.

Seems to be using the Indian numbering system:

[achierius]

It's the Indian English convention for placing commas in numbers -- one comma after the first three digits, then one comma after every two digits thereafter. e.g.

1,23,45,67,890.
