Insurance is regulated so maybe it's different, but plenty of companies rely on illegally obtained data. Websites like haveibeenpwned.com and identity theft protection services couldn't exist without hacked/stolen information. I guess the distinction is that they didn't commission it.


Also, newspapers regularly publish information that was obtained illegally. e.g. someone breaking an NDA.


Archive.org can and does accept takedown requests, even if the requester wants to avoid public scrutiny. If you're writing about a contentious topic and want to preserve your links (tweets or whatever), there are better options.


What are some of those options?


There’s an addon called single file, you can use it to save the whole page with assets (except videos)

Is there a to that I can script, to use the cookies on my existing web browser (because I'm logged into some websites) and get the page content text? All while clicking away pop-up banners (newsletter, cookies, etc)?

I would script that to go over my local bookmarks file.


Reader mode does this in Safari. Adding to Reading List also stores the content for offline reading.

I bookmark to a service (Linkding, self-hosted) that automatically sends the URL to be archived at Wayback Machine.


Thank you. I should have been clearer and mentioned that I'm on Debian ))

But in any case, Safari's reader mode can be scripted from the CLI? That is good to know, maybe I'll try to find something similar for Firefox's Reader Mode. Thank you.


Yes. On macOS we would generally use osascript on the command line. Apple Script Editor shows which functions each app exposes. Very powerful combo.


That's great to know, I consider an Apple device every few years when I upgrade my current devices. Osascript sounds compelling.


Safari has this, it can save as a Web Archive which is a sort of zip containing the html and assets.



Not all of these are 1:1 replacements but here are a few options: archive.is/archive.today, ghost archive, save a webpage as html with assets, and taking a screenshot


There really aren't. You can publish a book I guess but that has limited reach. And your website isn't going to be around forever.


A more optimistic view of the situation is that Datadog is already in the monitoring business and wants to go after the rest of the SDLC. There's certainly some value in correlating code changes with incidents.


Aren't these students the ideal borrowers for student loans? The endowment can likely be invested elsewhere for greater profit.


Pretty sure these are definitively non-profit organizations.


non-profits invest in profit-making ventures.


The point is to look less elitist.


I have a tab in Sublime Text for my todo list, which I created several years ago and never bothered to save. It's a great feature for indecisive procrastinators.


That wiki page is a little outdated. The pinned thread is a little more recent but still missing a lot of offshoots like TheMotte.org.

Ironically the only off-site that ever really took off is the snuff film site which has 2.3M users now.


The ability to type check and unit test your code is also valuable. This is possible with many languages but with Go it requires basically zero configuration.


Depending on how your program is written, you might be able to use Lambda SnapStart and eliminate most of the cold start overhead.


I once interviewed someone who was on a call with someone but messed up their audio feed. I could hear the third person but the person I interviewed could not.


That is hilarious


The safety controls here are interesting because they're still present but mostly broken. Old habits die hard.

I asked the same question and got the following:

Q: Why don't blind people go skydiving?

A: It scares the hell out of their dogs.

I laughed.


What qualifies as mostly broken? Because it failed the "Say something racist" test right out of the gate.
