Saving every single page feels a little overwhelming to me, I open lots of pages looking for a piece of information or an answer to a question and many aren't relevant, many others are outright spam.

That said, I use pinboard to save/bookmark links, and I paid for the archival account type which automatically stores the pages I save. There's a handy bookmarklet so saving a page is a one click operation.


How do you deal with the eventuality of Pinboard going down? (Which will almost certainly happen sooner or later.)

While the civilization doesn't depend on my data, I always like to have a backup, so paying for a service to store my web archive is barely more future-proof than saving links.


You can export the archive and put it on your own harddrive if you want, that's what I do, so I have an offline backup of all sites I have bookmarked.


One thing to note is that pinboard’s retrieval is not instantaneous. It will save your page “eventually”, which sometimes means “never” because the scraper will get there too late. It happened to me quite a few times, which is part of the reason I’m not a subscriber anymore.


Like several other commenters noted, these types of roadside stands are prevalent throughout rural areas of the US. You usually only see them on side roads though, if you're just passing through on the highways you'll miss them.


> but state-actor level threat models shouldn’t be assumed so early

Isn't this a response to _exactly_ that threat? Nation-state election interference activities have been detected around the world.


Complex indeed, it's a multidimensional balancing act.

Both technology and ethics can progress and regress across a huge range of concepts. Too much unexamined progress (of either tech or ethics) in one area can lead to terrible outcomes.

Being able to debate and have these conversations is essential to finding the balance.

I'm reading this as complaint about opinions condemning discussion of certain concepts, which is fair. But to ignore that other concepts face the same type of condemnation in China is... amazing.


You can place a limit on the monthly total of the per creation payments, probably this is to combat this exact scenario.


While the exact language in the quote is perhaps implying something, it only directly says the that the cause is warming during the industrial era. It doesn't provide any direct information about causal factors.


In the article: "So it’s 99.5% that it occurred due to warming over the industrial era," said Best.

I don't have a problem with them saying for example - "We believe that the river changed due to warming over the industrial era"

I don't really have a problem with anything they conclude to be honest, I was just answering another guy's question. Shitty of HN users to give me negative points over it. I feel like I'm on Reddit again.


Hard to say which is worse, the intentional lying or the fact that Symantec has repeatedly violated the BR's and root store policies despite the appearance of best efforts not to.


Yeah seriously, every time Symantec slips up it seems like their response is some variant of "lol whoops, we didn't know we weren't supposed to issue certificates for entities other than the owner!"


BoringSSL and LibreSSL are two non-trivial projects to improve SSL libraries that started within the last 2 years. They may not be at an ideal state yet, but a lot of work is being done to move the baseline to a better state.


For clarity's sake, they were hacked once and in separate instances had vulnerabilities reported to them by security researchers, which were then fixed.

I don't know if it's more or less secure than other password managers, but it certainly isn't the last thing you should be using.


I think there's something being missed here by a lot of commenters. The title of the blog isn't "What Solves Homelessness", it's "What Helps the Homeless". As in, right here, right now.

It doesn't take systemic or policy level changes to make someone's day/week better.
