Seems like archive.is is using DNS-based load-balancing/fail-over. My best guess is that the person/group that's running archive.is is having some operational issues right now and you caught that issue. For the record: from G

Developers are undervalued quite a bit in most places outside SV. (And maybe overvalued a bit in SV.) I agree about your main point though. It's time to put up (salaries in this case) or shut up.

My then 70 year old mom (three years ago) had this kind of surgery. She was back in action after about a week.

I've been thinking similar thoughts and landed on: I need something to motivate to me to get out of bed every day. Also: becoming a reclusive is bad for your mental/social health.

I'm a little bit past 40 now. I saw the writing on the wall about ten years ago (hey, why is there like 1 programmer older than 50 in my company's engineering team of 500?) and started thinking about optimizing my career for this.

After the Damore ousting I've been doing all semi-risky searches on Bing. I treat Google as the safe-for-work search engine. I guess I had this epiphany - before Damore I trusted them with everything. Post Damore, I saw that Google was

I guess it boils down to that - it was built primarily as a vehicle for transferring money in various directions. Not to cost-effectively project military power. The Schadenfreude part of me is having lots of fun reading reports of the Norw
