Side note, because of the way the page is constructed the data isn't part of the backup kept by the Internet Archive.
- LeifCarrotson 7y agoProgrammer but not a web dev here - why not? View Source tells me it's pulling data from https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/disaster-mugl.xml https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/disaster-mugl.xml. It's formatted by the fancy JS graph stuff, and displayed by: <div class="multigraph" data-src="/billions/disaster-mugl.xml?disasters[]=drought.. with links to the time series data below the graph. In what way does this not make the data available to the Internet Archive? How could this page (or a hypothetical similar page on my personal blog) have been constructed to (1) make the data available to IA and (2) make it not vulnerable to an HN hug-of-death (it looks like just some static assets with a user-side dynamic Javascript graph that would be trivial to serve to my untrained eyes).
