  1. Which sites use noarchive w/o conditional access? by tepples · · Score: 1 · on Google Scraps Controversial Policy That Gave Free Access To Paywalled Articles Through Search (theverge.com)

    Among sites that appear in Google Search results displayed to me, I have perceived the noarchive value as noticeably correlated with conditional access methods, such as paywall or anti-adblock. If there were no desire for conditional access, a rational site operator would allow archiving even if only to shift the hosting burden for old documents to archive operators. For an example of such shifting, see here:

    The old OurPla.net is archived here (and the most active part, my wiki-weblog here). (Thank you, archive.org.)

    Your experience appears to differ from mine. Which sites using noarchive that lack conditional access do you commonly see in results from Google Search?

  3. Buck would be proud by djupedal · · Score: 3, Interesting · on A 3D Printer On Every Desktop?

    Buckminster Fuller wanted to give every other person a lathe, and have the first thing each of them made to be another lathe - so, buy a 3D printer and make another one for a friend :)

  4. RSS - Please Converge On a Standard! by fastdecade · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Google Finally Moves Toward RSS Standard

    Will RSS and Atom finally converge?

    HOPE SO! Blogging has moved so fast that the tangled web of RSS protocols is confusing to RSS publishers and users alike.

    Far more important than their individual features would be a single standard, so that publi7shing tools could stop bothering about compatibility issues and get on with features people care about.

    Only Google has the power to create an RSS standard. Google, you're our only hope!

  5. Weblogs and Wikis and KM, oh my by Rademir · · Score: 1 · on Weblogs as Base for Knowledge Management Systems?

    PikiePikie is another possibility, a GPL wiki simple enough to hack on yourself (Python), and it also can put a weblog on any page.

    You might also find my Wiki Weblog PIM page of interest, it links to many relevant resources.

  6. Re:World largest Wiki - embrace instead of denial. by Rademir · · Score: 1 · on Where Does Microsoft Want You to Go Today?

    Yes! Anyone who's interested in working on a free/open source WikiBrowser (WardsWiki) WikiBrowser (Meatball) go read and contribute at those links, or contact me. It could be done as a sidebar in browsers that do that, and as a separate app for different OSes. (there's no project yet)

    Life,

  7. Re:Whoever discovers it gets to name it, yes? by Jeremy+Erwin · · Score: 1 · on Element 118 detected

    IUPAC is to be disregarded and possesses no special powers to name elements. Stuff like this is the epitome of how science has become a bureaucracy of rules, regulations, red tape, and political wrangling, than about actually expanding human knowledge. IUPAC decides on conventions. If you want to adopt your own names for chemicals, you can. Just don't expect to be understood. Personally, I find their system to be preferable to learning millions of proprietary names. In addition, it's nice to know whether to call whether Dubnium refers to element 104 or 105. By the way, IUPAC admits that its recommendations carry no legal force. And their system is certainly preferalble to that of Ludwig Plutonium
