I can accept the other issues, but archivebox needs be private and secure by default.
Sending everything to archive.org is bad default value and it erodes a certain level of trust in the project. Requiring "several important changes and security considerations" just makes a non-starter. The default settings should be "safe" for the default user, because as you mentioned in that post, 90% of users are never going to change them. Users should be able to run it locally and archive data without worrying about security issues, unless you only want experts to be able to use your software.
Also a contradiction between your statement and your blogpost, someone saving their photos isn't going to be want to worry about whether they configured your tool correctly or leaking all the group logs or grandma's photos.
>It's prominently mentioned many times (at least 4) on our homepage that this is the default, and archiving public-only sites (which are already fair game for Archive.org) is a default for good reason. Archiving private content requires several important changes and security considerations. More context
> Who cares about saving stuff?
> All of us have content that we care about, that we want to see preserved, but privately:
> families might want to preserve their photo albums off Facebook, Flickr, Instagram
> individuals might want to save their bookmarks, social feeds, or chats from Signal/Discord
> companies might want to save their internal documents, old sites, competitor analyses, etc.
I want the project to do well but it really needs to be secure by default.
I don't know how anyone manages to use archivebox. I've tried it twice in the last 3 years and its site compatibility is bad, it quietly leaks everything you archive to archive.org by default, and whenever it fails on a download it stops archiving anything even after deleting and resubmitting all the jobs.
I'm sure it works for some people, but not me.
Gyms are notorious shysters who made it difficult to cancel your membership, even when you have the right. Don't blame the consumers for this bullshit. Do as many chargebacks as you can.
No it's not. Official policy is to be nice to fat people and to pretend that they're not doing anything bad.
It's a sign of the author's mental degradation. It's hard to take the blogpost seriously.
The statement is still wrong. Awnings and local architects are both extinct so clearly the architects didn't kill the awnings.
Yes, it seems the author didn't meet the racism quota and had to throw in some blood libel at the end.
This was written in a very confident way, but I can say with at least as much confidence that my house was mass produced in a factory and assembled locally in the middle of nowhere without any regard for local architecture.
> If shaming did work, then it would have been implemented widely and obesity is solved. But it's not. We don't have anything that works as well as ozempic.
What kind of reasoning is this? This is only true if you believe good policies always get implemented. You'll notice other countries like Japan don't require every man and child to be drugged to stop eating food, and they have a much stronger sense of shame for being an undue burden on society.
Why not both? Nobody wanted seatbelts until they were forced to use them, maybe we could try forcing people to eat safer food.
> Shaming fat people, pointing out their fatness, or other public pressure doesn't do anything.
Has it? We've tried a few decades of fat positively and just pretending that being fat isn't a personal failure, and just a symptom of society. People have only gotten more fat in that time. Let's try some serious shaming. If you're fat, you should have to pay more for healthcare, food, flights basically everything related to your burden on society.
If it does turn out that the government has been poisoning Americans for decades, I'd like to see some heads roll.
Unfortunately being good at chess doesn't make you smart. It just makes you good at chess.
Apparently discovering new islands isn't what it used to be.
It's true. Smart people tend to have a lot of novel ideas, most of which are going to be retarded. Most people just have no ideas.
> pathetic patches of land
It's always funny seeing people pretend they live in a world where small issues like land or food don't affect them, even though they only have that privilege because a larger military says they should.
Are you against subsidies in general? Or just against someone you don't like getting them to actually develop new technology?
It's pretty accurate. Most videos exist just to be passively consumed, like the person you're responding to who listens to it while doing chores.
I'm going to find out a way to automatically hide comments referencing "musk". You can't even read about a 3Blue1Brown video without people somehow making it about him. Every thread, every day, it's just people talking about Elon Musk.
> Framed differently
Framed in an insane way by someone looking to denigrate someone they don't like. I have no idea who you're targeting but you obviously have a chip on your shoulder.
As an outside observer, I have to notice that doctors and "the system" have lost such trust that people prefer self-medicating with illegal drugs.
In the near future, electric vehicles will be obsolete and we'll be running off rainwater and people will be parking their cars outside to harvest it. California will be mostly unlivable.
How does this relate at all to what you're responding to?
> That's an odd complaint.
No it's not. I'll make it simpler. If you know the material really well but haven't memorized the problems, you will test poorly. If you memorize the problems and have no real understanding of the material, you will test well. This is obviously the opposite of what you want to test.
Growing up I was fed a false idealistic version of college by every college-educated teacher and adult, and it cost me $40000, so the betrayal in academia was felt much more strongly than work.
> Chrome won because it was more performant (read: only point of interest for Joe Average)
It's hard to argue chrome won on merit here when they were using their monopoly to actively sabotage users running firefox on the most popular sites.
> YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox and Edge than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome
This was basically my experience in college too. There was no time to understand something, and tests didn't test your understanding. If you tried to solve a proof for the first time you'd run out of time and fail. You just had to grind homework and book questions until you could shit them out in 5 minutes each.
I agree with that, and it's possible that half of what people buy and want to repair aren't going to be repairable under market conditions. Probably more; most of these cases it's just economically infeasible to repair anything that isn't new or produced recently, with supply lines still active, and it's fine when nobody wants to pay for it.
So for my definition, what makes this an edge case is specifically it's expensive medical equipment that a disabled user can't pay to acquire a part for, and companies aren't willing to produce anyway because it's so niche. 99% of equipment probably falls under "I want to repair it and someone (myself or a repair company) wants to fix it" or "I don't want to repair it because it's so expensive". The rest would be the edge case where you want to repair it and you literally can't afford to - even if you could produce the parts.
By the way, I hate this article, I just want the information and not have to parse an entire goddamn magazine to get to it.
I guess I'll be seeing you in court.
It's an edge case because the supply is so small and the hardware is so specialized. If this were an iPhone screen there's be a dozen companies in china capable of producing and selling them near cost if apple didn't interfere, and we'd have plenty of people willing to repair and resell the screens if apple would stop abusing US customs to seize repaired screens as they've done in the past.
