Yeah, uhhh, I’m sure a lot of us here could benefit from a digital detox, but unless the plan also includes “go to australia”, this doesn’t seem like the right year for this advice.

Captcha is cutoff/ unable to be completed on mobile :|
But I also find that I get taken to a blank screen after solving captcha and need to submit the link I’m trying to archive and won’t get the captcha again.
Maybe archive.is is forwarding us the captcha that is being requesting by the site to-be-archived and can’t do it as a seamless workflow?

#34Some of the speculation in this thread [1], originally flagged as hearsay, seems to be confirmed by this article, namely his use of nitrous oxide. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25235843

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Um, downvotes? Are you saying that that link is not to the full contents of the article? Or are you saying that you think it is bad to give people access to data? Or are you saying that one should not circumvent the paywall of the WSJ because it is stealing?

> it's ok [...] to help other users do so.
In which category does an archive.is link fall more, complaint or help?

On a flagged and down-voted into oblivion comment, no less. A small taste of what sharing hard truths here at HN is often becoming like. I hope we can rise above this and allow discussion, even topics we don't think we need to hear.
There's also the twin concepts of tact and good taste.
If someone wants to dig into a dead person's dark side, go ahead. But not immediately after his death. There's nothing wrong with a little restraint. It's not like knowing bad things about him two weeks later changes anything at all.

#39As an aside: I hadn't bought anything off Zappos for years, and checked it out when the news hit and surprised that it still basically looks the same as I remember it maybe 10+ years ago. Certainly looks and feels like an eCommerce website from the late 2000s/early 2010s. I'm curious if this was an intentional choice or a sign the website has been on cruise control since the acquisition. It certainly makes me wonder…

I couldn’t think of a better year for this advice.
