They actually store multiple copies. They even use IPFS to store it over decentralized network.
But copyright is the main issue we don't see many services like open library or internet archive.
Rest in peace Aaron Swartz
Is it be possible to "donate" storage to the Internet Archive in the form of being part of it's infrastructure but distributed?
Like plug in an off the shelf NAS on my home network which acts as a backup for some part of the archive?
Perhaps that is wasteful, but then again also resilient.
If they store on IPFS (someone else said they did), then the answer is yes. Grab a subset of the content and mirror it to your device. Keep said device online.
Carmen Ortiz shares the blame. Heymann is no longer an AUSA and his career has stalled, to say the least. He will be forever remembered linked with Swartz. Karma is a cold goddess.
People are absolutely, 100% responsible for his death.
A young person near the beginning of their career got sentenced to 13 federal crimes, 50 years of imprisonment and one million dollars in fines, for downloading some PDFs of scientific articles.
It's not like someone asked him to delete the PDFs and he killed himself in protest. His life was ruined to make an example out of him.
Well that is just objectively false. The man was never "sentenced to 13 federal crimes, 50 years of imprisonment and one million dollars in fines". It is blatantly false.
It is objectively false, but the spirit of your comment is grossly incorrect as well. He wasn't sentenced, but the "13 federal crimes" was a plea bargain offered by the prosecution. He killed himself beforehand.
FWIW, I actually have a close friend who ended up in North Kern for a couple years because of a plea deal fiasco. For most of us who never directly interact with the criminal courts, navigating such curcumstances is complelty bonkers and stressful, as I'm sure it was for Swartz.
Over zealous prosecution can make one’s life a living hell which certainly didn’t help.
Add to that a young man who might have had some depression issues (I’m not sure) and you have a heartbreaking tragedy.
From the Wikipedia:
Days before Swartz's funeral, Lawrence Lessig eulogized his friend and sometime-client in an essay, "Prosecutor as Bully." He decried the disproportionality of Swartz's prosecution and said, "The question this government needs to answer is why it was so necessary that Aaron Swartz be labeled a 'felon'. For in the 18 months of negotiations, that was what he was not willing to accept."
I haven't been able to figure out how to access the IPFS versions of the archive. They technically have a version of their site hosted through IPFS (https://www-dweb-cors.dev.archive.org/web), but when searching for a specific url like nytimes.com, it just redirects to the standard archive.org url.
tbf OP did mentioned it varies from genetics to genetics. 7-7.5 hrs is actually good spot. Mostly 8 hrs is recommended. For me 6 hrs is enough, but it also depends upon the work you are doing in your day to day life.
The goal is just plain wrong. You don't optimize to shorten ur sleep, u optimize to improve ur sleep and rest pattern which might happen to shorten ur sleep.
> 7-7.5 hrs is actually good spot. Mostly 8 hrs is recommended.
That is correct. The goal is to find ur best. Not defining a number and going backwards to justify it.
Glorifying sleeplessness is extremely bad. The author might be in sleep debt himself. Also we need to consider the throughput as the performance varies. When I was tired I would not be able to code as efficient.

Totally agree with this. I'm surprised how even health professionals prescribe an average value as something to work towards. Heck, they even give the same 8 cups of water a day advice to 50 kg females and 90 kg males. What an absurdity. Anyways, people should find the optimal amount for them by observing the outcome.
My sleep sweet spot is also around 7-7:30 hours.
I am typically a good sleeper as in don't wake up etc.
On days where I sleep more or lay I I often feel less energetic.
Then there are also the cases when I go to bed early and wake up early by myself 'ready to go'.
I also like the suggestion to do the important thing first in the morning. So far I have not found a way to get around the morning chores, lunch prep, kids, dog etc. I know the theory (pre prepare, do it fast, be organised) but doing it is something I need to work on.
