To be clear: the actual scans are fine, what is removed was the ability to browse and search for these images on Flickr, with metadata & tags added by users, rather then having to manually download thousands of photos on IA, without any web-based search or preview. The linked article goes into this: https://publicdomainreview.org/blog/2022/04/5-million-book-i...

But for all the greatness of Internet Archive (and it is truly great!) it doesn’t have the user-interface for images that Flickr has, the ability to save to galleries, add tags, and effectively search. That’s why it was such a marriage made in heaven. As far as we are aware, with the IA Book Images account gone, there is now no way to search for individual images from the hundreds of thousands of books at Internet Archive
Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if its even more.

"Apologies if this is off-topic but the learning French thread got me wondering if anyone here is an artist in the downtime and has recommendations for learning materials when it comes to learning how to draw? I've tried Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and it doesn't do it for me. I've tried nma.art and that's like the closest I've come to what I'm after but currently suffer from paralysis analysis with too many or too few courses to choose from. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to be able to eventually draw people and landscapes, willing to pay hundreds of dollars potentially for the right course or instruction per month not really looking for like a udemy type thing."

What about approaches to teaching children initially? Most of what passes for art instruction in elementary schools seems to come from the school of thought of "just give them some paper and pens and glue and glitter and they'll come up with something". Or, worse, there is no art instruction whatsoever in school. Curious if anyone has any thoughts on any programs or approaches that actually provide young kids with high quality foundational art instruction before their brains are fully formed into "I can't draw (/paint/model/sculpt/etc.)"
In my uses, I can be almost certain that I won't get a 404 back as a response, unless I forgot to do something - although the others are a concern. Even though Netlify allows setting headers and redirects, I obviously don't control the image they use or the CDN generally.

Something to watch out for.

I agree with you its still heavily stacked, but I meant that at least there was some shot for her. If degrees got factored in up front, she probably won't even be interviewed vs that rich kid who had tutors and went to Stanford or wherever.
EDIT: Original title of this submission claimed that Flickr deleted the account, not that Internet Archive deleted their own account. My comment below is in the context of that claim.

Do you have a reputable source for this from the Internet Archive (not speculation)?

It literally says that the Internet Archive deleted their account, not Flickr.

Unless the support thread is wrong, I don’t see how your claim about no consultation and no warning is consistent.

Have you helped them get an understanding of how alcohol effects them? In many jurisdictions, even if it is illegal for a minor to purchase alcohol, it is legal for them to drink at home under the supervision of their parent or legal guardian. Lots of parents are horrified by the idea of letting their teen drink at home but it's an opportunity to help them learn their limits, understand how it affects their behavior, and removes the mystery and taboo from it. I'm not talking about having them do keg stands. Wine with dinner once a week and occasionally other types of drinks goes a long way teaching them how to deal with alcohol in a responsible manner. Obviously you want to control this because even adults sometime have trouble finding and abiding by their limits but you want them to discover this while still at home rather than during their first semester away at college.

I've heard stories of people who took a sip of coffee or sneezed and killed a pedestrian, it doesn't mean that that drinking a morning cup of coffee and driving should be illegal. It means that we need to take a holistic view of risk and make decisions that are adapted to a particular situation.

Personally, I think if we were serious about saving lives, instead of trying to idiot-proof cars, we need to stop letting idiots drive cars. Reading a message on your phone in a holder directly in your field of vision, on an empty, limited-access highway in good weather carries virtually no risk. Going the posted speed limit and "obeying the law" on a road covered in black ice or on a foggy morning could be insanely dangerous and reckless, but most drivers receive zero training on those situations (At least in the USA).

We need better training and tougher driver licensing standards, not thousands of rules in a futile attempt to stop people from doing every conceivable stupid thing.

Not convinced. I have had mobility problems for some years, and the basic problem is not walking (though that is difficult, but I can sort of cope) but if I were to fall down, could I get up again? I'm a large (6foot 2) and quite heavy man, and despite good intentions, most individuals could not get me on my feet after a fall. I use walking stick, frame and mobility scooter, but the fear of falling is always on my mind.

In the bungalow (single storey) I live in I have improvised a ramp system to help me get up if I fall, and it does work fairly well, but obviously not outside on the street.

Having supported (physically and mentally) my very wobbly mother up to her death, I can attest that it's falling, not walking that is problem that primarily needs to be addressed.

In wifi, this is handled by the base station if I'm correct. It assigns slots for the associated receivers. Assigning slots in a mesh network without coordination is effectively a graph coloring problem and difficult to solve.

My professor for my master thesis was the author of LMAC, which attempted to assign slots to each node. It worked great in theory, but not so much in practice.

Furthermore based on the way drug discovery goes you're not likely to go off and invent a safe and effective version of either of those.

That means that for now, a philosophically resigned stance combined if you're contributing to research with curiosity to motivate you rather than an expectation of any results, is the most appropriate stance as far as anyone knows.

Why not just implement a damn negative interest rate on cash and a land value tax on land?

In fact, it is quite amusing to see capitalists talk about free markets when the currencies they use quite literally exist to prevent free markets from forming. A precious metal currency is a tool for maintaining power with the aristocracy. Perpetual land ownership is effectively the same. Feudalism ended by giving everyone the freedom to become a feudalist, that's capitalism. It works much better but how about we stop the concentration of power for good?

When you are rich, you have the option of investing or lending. If you lend, then someone else must invest on your behalf. When you think about it, lending simply shifts all the risk of an investment onto the borrower. In an increasingly saturated economy, which the author of the original article doesn't even recognize as a thing, most investments are unable break even. The risk adjusted return of an investment is negative but you, the lender, can always pull out your money as cash to get guaranteed 0%, this threat makes banks unwilling to lower their interest rate below 0%. Banks stop lending to risky lenders. Saved money is no longer circulating in the economy. Deflation/low inflation sets in.

If the government does nothing or austerity, then you get a great depression very soon. If the government does something, then it must act as the borrower of last resort, who is creating artificial demand for capital. If I had to describe QE it is actually as if the government created a state operated investment fund for government bonds that is exclusively accessible to banks. It's not really money printing. It's a weird ass way of letting banks find a solvent borrower of last resort. When you deposit money on your bank account, the bank doesn't know when you are going to spend it. A bank reserve created by QE is just as liquid as money so it does the job. You can spend your money instantly and no bank is going to care. They can just shrug off the fact that they are lending out deposits that can be spent instantly for 30 years.

This is still better than doing nothing. For all we know, the money could be spent on climate change or whatever. However, it would be better to address the problem at its root and just tell the rich to get lost by no longer guaranteeing automatic capital accumulation and free capital preservation.
This is a pretty solid sign that something stinks in here.

There is a lot to say for having conversations with possible users, it helps to have some "visual aids" such as a low fidelity mockup, printed-out screenshots, etc.

My current "side project" is that I create "three-sided cards". These stand alone or can be put together to make constellations like

https://gen5.info/$/XQ*42RXF-TLY:$B.8/

whenever I show people the cards and let people interact with them I learn something. The cards are so good at this I am thinking about making a psychological profiling tool based on them. (One thing I've learned is that HN users want to see a manifesto for the cards, but that's been slow coming.)

>I've met plenty of people with various fancy degrees working those jobs. I recall in my early twenties I met an alumni from one of my dream schools. He was making roughly as much as I was without a degree.

Sure, you got lucky and he probably picked a less than lucrative degree, or wasn't as lucky. There is certainly overlap, but the statistics show that there is a large wealth gap between people with a college degree and people without. Bill Gates was a college drop out and he has billions, but is that the norm? Absolutely not.

>Plus, theirs no rule saying a high school dropout can't attend community college later. This is much better option for most people.

Yes, but I thought we were talking about the prospects of high school drop outs vs people with college degrees. You're kinda moving he goal posts a bit I think. I think dropping out of high school, getting a GED and then attending college is essentially the same thing as the "normal" college route.

>The alternative is losing your mind trying to get into that elite top ten college

That's a false dichotomy. You don't have to get into an elite top ten college to have a future, statistically speaking. The main income gap is between people with a college degree and people without. I do agree with you that people who aspire to get into an elite college can easily burnout and go mad, but that's not what I'm comparing here. I also know not all college degrees or even institutions are equal. Some are absolute shit, but the majority of accredited institutions are good enough. Degrees, not so much though. Some degrees are an absolute pyramid scheme. It's tough to navigate for someone with experience with it, much less an immediate family without a college degree.
Yes, this is what it amounts to.

Maybe Europe's "right to be forgotten" laws will make this easier to automate in the future.

Russia is not the same as Iran, though.

One big difference is that Russia is the aggressor. Against Iran, the US would be the aggressor. Force may be unavoidable to stop aggression, but if you want a safer world, invading random countries for questionable reasons is a really bad idea.
By no consultation or warning I mean that the Internet Archive did not consult users of the resource or give any warning that they would be deleting it.

I'm honestly unclear on how you can't see how Apple could solve this with billions. It is definitely a "throw money at it" situation, no question.

Moderation is a hard problem because it isn't just a matter of someone filtering between the polite posts and the less polite posts, it's a matter of filtering between the polite posts and the content that will sear your soul, no joke.

But that's not what this is. This is just, is the website still there and look correct? With the correct software setup it's roughly a person-month by my estimate to gets eyes on every site in the list.

(Though most people usually don't set write this sort of software very well, making someone laboriously click this, scroll around some, click some more, click a tiny radio button, click the tiny submit button, wait for the next thing to load, etc. It'll be longer & more work with this style. Someday I hope to have the chance to write some sort of classification program and implement the UI I've wanted for a while, which amounts to "right -> ham, left -> spam", and everything as pre-rendered as I can get it before it gets to the human. I'm sure some people out there have done something like this, but it makes me honestly sad how few I've seen.)
Which is often still expensive (not the case here) -- iirc even approximating a Bayesian network is NP-complete.
> Billions in quarterly revenue doesn't allow Apple to solve the halting problem.

That would be a good point if this were the halting problem. It's not. It's a list of domains that you're suggesting to users.

For starters, a VERY basic solution might be to look up the domain name ownership information and see if that has changed. If so, flag for review.

Secondly, you can store the public SSL certificate and make sure that's still the same. If it changes, flag for review.

Thirdly, screencap the site, save it, periodically re-cap and compare how similar the images are. If it changes, flag for review.

> I can't begin to imagine how they would do what you're suggesting.

Did you try?

> They need to detect when a website changes in kind, but ignore day-to-day changes or normal UI revamps.

The solution doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be good enough.
One of the most fascinating Mongol-related historical footnotes I'm aware of is what happened to the Khwarazmian Empire. What's that, you say? You never heard of them? Well that's because Genghis Khan literally wiped them off the map after their paranoid leader sent at least 2 of his trade envoys back with everyone but 1 decapitated (and the survivor carrying the heads).

I'm surprised IA relies on outside, potentially ephemeral services at all. I thought all of their material was self-hosted. Had that actually been true, it seems like IA wouldn't have needed to delete its account over an issue of whether their usage fit the intended use case for Flickr.

This is a common refrain when discussing email, but modern, useful email has an exceptionally high maintenance overhead, primarily due to anti-spam features.

Running a basic email server is relatively easy. Running a mail server with good deliverability guarantees is very hard. You can end up blacklisted just because someone in the same IP block as you is sending spam. Your only solution will be to change IPs repeatedly until you get one with a good reputation, up until someone starts spamming again. You can be blacklisted because your domain or IP simply don't have enough historical data to determine whether it's likely spam.

Often there won't be a clear answer to why you're blacklisted. If Gmail sends your stuff to the spam box, good luck getting Google to tell you why.

It's not insurmountable; you can do it, but be prepared to invest an absurd amount of time setting it up and trying to set up automated delivery tests to make sure you haven't been blacklisted since you set it up.
I also have been receiving lots of these lately. I don't understand why "blocking everyone that's not in your contact list" is not a feature.
