Would this be legal from under first-sale doctrine?


It's also not so great a leap to think that supporting a country means supporting its citizens. Your interpretation is valid, I don't understand why it would need heavy moderation. Perhaps hiding the post and asking it to reword it to be clearer?


Odd, when I complain that my salary should be higher because of the impact the work I do makes, they don't raise my salary.


You can use SponsorBlock to skip those.


Will get more and more difficult. This morning Youtube kicked me out because I was using adblock origin. And update fixed it, but if they start putting DRM...


That and you can also see certain youtubers chopping off sponsored ads block into multiple parts and integrating it with their video


SponsorBlock helps with this also, even when it's incorporated into the video (via muting the audio).


At least we have some control via elections and petitioning the government


"Scared pussies" survive, but don't do anything. What we need is a good social safety net so people are confident that when they take a risk and fail, it doesn't mean their life ends.


The safety net exists! It's called moving to the developing world where everything is cheap.


Oh sure, like you can just do that if you're out of money. (/sarcasm) It costs money and time to get a passport, fly out, have a destination that will accept you, figure out security for yourself, etc. Plus, you're making it harder for the existing people there to keep prices low.


If you have a bunch of money lying around, sure. But most people are pretty decently in debt or at best just outright poor when they run into issues like that.


Maybe you've been conditioned to think your life will end. It won't.


Depends on your situation. If you have family and friends maybe, but lots of people don't survive and you don't see them. Healthcare, housing, food, etc. is mostly tied to employment or lots of money. People don't have time or energy to figure out any alternatives if they exist, and face eviction and starvation if they don't, which is a whole new world of not being able to survive. We see lots of drug abuse, theft, suicide, and similar things precisely because there is no safety net.


How many people are abusing drugs, stealing, killing themselves, homeless, etc after taking a risk and failing? It's probably pretty rare.


Look, I don't have the capacity to precisely answer your question. But if it is rare that people are failing through the cracks after taking a risk that's all the more reason to do it. It should be cheap.


What numbers are you referring to?


The well-known numbers that have been known since the Moynihan Report.


Come on, give its full title...


I didn't know what it was either. OP is likely referring to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Family:_The_Case_For...

Commonly known as the Moynihan Report. It has its supporters and its detractors. I have no opinion on it since this is the first I'm hearing of it.


At the time, the title was the opposite of a slur. Now, it would paint the report in a different light.


[flagged]


Not so much chaff as a point that the thing itself is so outdated our very language has had time to radically change.


I will assume you've read the full document and are fine with the things it says, since you're so confident it's a well written/thought-out piece that just accidentally has an extremely outdated name.

I think it's a tough argument to make that single-mothers lead to resentful anti-social children, but, hey, maybe I should be more open-minded.

>...The primary unit may again become mother and child, the biologically given, and the special conditions under which man has held his social traditions in trust are violated and distorted.

E. Franklin Frazier makes clear that at the time of emancipation Negro women were already “accustomed to playing the dominant role in family and marriage relations” and that this role persisted in the decades of rural life that followed...

...Although the families studied were white, the pattern would clearly seem to be a general one, and apply to Negro families as well.

The first two stages end with the exhaustion of credit and the entry of the wife into the labor force. The father is no longer the provider and the elder children become resentful.

The third stage is the critical one of commencing a new day-to-day existence. At this point two women are in charge:

“Consider the fact that relief investigators or case workers are normally women and deal with the housewife. Already suffering a loss in prestige and authority in the family because of his failure to be the chief bread winner, the male head of the family feels deeply this obvious transfer of planning for the family’s well-being to two women, one of them an outsider. His role is reduced to that of errand boy to and from the relief office.”


Derren Brown did a reenactment, not a recreation, as he is a Magician not a scientist.


You're right, I've changed the terminology to clarify this for people unfamiliar with Derren Brown.


Being a re-enactment and not a recreation, it also does not have “results”.


If you've watched it, re-enactment probably isn't quite the right term either. AFAIK the 'participants' weren't aware it was an 'experiment'. It has results, they are just extremely limited and not rigorous.


Derren has unfortunately been a big source of misinformation. I once saw a video of his at a neuroscience conference.


I'm getting 2+ gigabits down so it depends where you are. This is Verizon 5g, tmobile idk.

That's down for me but I got to the text by googling the title first:

Do you use Cloudflare DNS, 1.1.1.1? It is a known issue that archive.ph/md/vn doesn’t work with that due to some dispute its operate has with them. Cloudflare refuses to send some DNS option on privacy grounds, which the operator of that site insists they need; in response, they configured their DNS servers to block Cloudflare.


Just wanted to add that archive.* works OK with NextDNS, which both Firefox and Chrome allow you to select as a DNS provider for DNS-over-HTTPS.


I use 1.1.1.1 and use archive.ph practically every day without issue.

I'm not sure this info is current.


It definitely used to be true, and if it isn't true any more, it isn't clear when it stopped being true.

I found someone 9 months ago reporting the issue was still happening for them – https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30737328 – so maybe something has changed in the last 9 months.


That's very strange, because I've been using it without issue at least twice that long.


I’ve been using it about as long as you and I have had issues with the domain.


   echo 41.77.143.21 archive.vn >> /etc/hosts
The other issue is archive.ph and friends are DNS-blocked in some countries.

12ft.io is a well-known workaround for ft.com.

   cat > 1.sh 

    #!/bin/sh
    read x;
    x=$(echo "$x"|yy046); #FN1 URL encoding
    #echo "https://12ft.io/api/proxy?ref=&q=$x"|yy025|nc -vv h1b 80|yy054|zcat
    exec tnftp -4o"|gzip -dc" "https://12ft.io/api/proxy?ref=&q=$x"

   ^D

    echo https://www.ft.com/content/8cd27d16-c996-4dc7-86af-ed6f40ff361c|1.sh > 1.htm
    firefox ./1.htm

   FN1. Use whatever one's own preference for URL encoding.  Many options, e.g., https://rosettacode.org/wiki/URL_encoding yy046 is mine.

CloudFlare is in the right. This is for privacy. Just put the IPs on your hosts file, it's easy. https://dns.google/query?name=archive.is

54.37.18.234 archive.today 54.37.18.234 archive.is

While there try a hosts blocklist http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
