I was going to donate 5$ or 10$, as I found the whole experiment and write up worth it - especially since the content was available for the masses to pique their interests. I was unfortunately unable to so through Amazon Payments, as they o

Might be interesting to know that Swedens SVT (Sveriges Television, Swedish Television) is also modeled after the BBC and the UK television license. I'm sure there's plenty more country broadcasters, like above comments have menti

For me, it's the generally pleasant and motivational post in itself. Anything that can motivate people to contribute to FOSS and to make it less intimidating, I like. I didn't know it was Linus Torvalds response until I went in an

To be fair, Markus Persson has always been fiddling around with these kinds of fun stuff as long as I can remember. Surely, his current financial situation is beneficial for playing around with his stuff - but he has a passion I've see

I saw something similar when I was Berlin, by the Grunewald S-Bahn station. There is a memorial platform of the deportation of Jews from Berlin and the area around the city called Track 17 (German: Gleis 17) and nearby the station entrance

You are not mistaken. The Internet Archive does not delete or "nuke" the data that is blocked by a robots.txt. Even though cough some people believe so (see parent thread). Source: IA staffers.

In some of the counties ("Landsting") in Sweden, the patient may log on electronically with a electronic ID (certificate based, issued by banks) and view their journal at any time. All patients have a right to their journals, as f

The lovely and fantastic Internet Archive has exactly this, for US News TV (Eg. C-SPAN IIRC) and they say they have clips from 594,000 shows since 2009 available. From what I've read and heard, they basically eat the subtitle/clos

To nitpick, in the suggested experiment - bookmarks aren't removed. Although I guess you could compare the solution to "completely remove" them since they work a lot different, I guess you wouldn't "Love"-click

What does "MRD" stand for? I've been searching for a definition but I can't seem to find any, that makes sense in this context. Given the context, I guess it's some kind of product development order?

Internet Archive isn't wiping out historical content. It's just unavailable/hidden for the time being. (As long as there is a restrictive robots.txt available).

It would have been nice to have "HS Hackers" expanded/clarified somewhere in the beginning of the text - even as the introduction did mention "High schoolers" multiple times.

I do not consider it strange, like the 2013 Economist article does, that "too many successful start-ups choose to sell themselves to foreign markets/multinationals instead of being local champions" - considering how small the

Civilization V does this in multiplayer games, only thing is that you can continue without the other player if you'd like - and a computer player takes over instead. The other player can then either join the game you're keeping al

What are you disagreeing with? The question of what Hermels assumption is based on? I'm open to the idea that my opinion regarding the environment I live in might be biased/skewed and I might not see a representative part of the s

Excuse me, but what is this based on? Do you perhaps mean small communities? Because I can tell you from my experience being Swedish in Sweden (~9M inhabitants), that your assumption seems to be false.

I would say riding a local commuter train (ie. on the JR Yamanote-line in Tokyo) versus long-distance (ie. the bullet train/shinkansen) might be a sufficient different environment that talking is more accepted. As long as one isn'

Please drop the snarky tone, it does not add anything to your comments. To kaitai: I do suggest that you write out the full word instead of abbreviating it to "srsly" - since that makes the comment a lot less interesting and distr

I find `command-not-found``a lot more useful than `sl` (sl is some ascii animation that'll be shown for a short/long while if you write it). Usually when I get to `command-not-found` it's something I haven't installed on
