   The Internet Archive crawler is polite, going at a slow rate. With a deadline looming so soon, a more aggressive effort is called for.

   Agreed. The long lines are making this page difficult to read on my phone.

   I believe they broke that scheme using other methods, which I can't recall. Edit: They changed how it works on the server side, without going into detail. It's discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2483053

   Would Google Reader get an exception, or is this Firefox version being released after that shuts down?

   Oh! I have a suggestion for Wordpress users: Try WPSocialite.[1] I put a slightly modified version at mightygodking.com. I should send that mod upstream... [1] http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpsocialite/

    Can it? I pull and push Github over ssh, which is an attack path that Cloudflare isn't built to mitigate. If it were strictly http and https, it would be a different story.

    Just in case anyone doesn't get it, it's a reference to the cover for Hofstadter's "Godel, Escher, Bach:" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GEBcover.jpg

    You might look at the Archive Team for examples of distributed mirroring.

    I heard that it was due to the lack of plugins, and that was in turn due to a tricky and complicated API. Live Picture used some interesting and complicated data structures to work its magic, but all of that complication was exposed to and

    Could you edit that long line somehow? It makes reading harder in my phone.

    I love the possibilities here. I want to see rows traced out! Make something that looks like a Joy Division album cover. Use a bullet-time array of cameras to make a video. Make an augmented reality layer so you can see it as you wander the

    Okay, I found the reference someone cited as "Nate Silver openly rooting for Obama". It's from March 2008, before he joined the NYTimes: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008_02_24_archive.html

    That's weird - I thought I read that he was personally pulling for Obama somewhere on 538. I'll go look for that.

    Oh! I thought it changed the alarm time. A technically adept friend recently complained about this happening with his Android phone - the 8am alarm went off at 7am - so I had that in mind, though it seems like I was misreading here. Sorry

    That's a sarcastic "awesome," right? Because that sounds like a bug. If you need to do something after x hours, this is useful. If you have to do something at a certain clock time, then this could be infuriating.

    Wikipedia calls it archaeoacoustics [1], and I've seen it called paleoacoustics elsewhere. There was a hoax in 2006 involving sound from Pompeii. [2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeoacoustics [2] http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/la

    For anyone wondering, the current oldest playable audio recordings were produced by the phonautograph (1857)[1], which was made for studying acoustics. They were write-only until 2008, when they became playable via computers. There's a samp

    I think they make items "dark" for, say, 70 years, so it's inaccessible to the public. The thought of actual deletions is kind of alien to their goals.

    Here's a related Wired article from 2008: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/09/briton-invented/ Edit: At the time, it looked fishy. I did some digging, & it looked plausible enough: http://www.metafilter.com/74747/The-Birth-of-th
