The CBC report yesterday on tv mentioned the awkward phrase the it was recovered “buried deep in servers” and I thought it was bizarre.

Replay available on YouTube. CBC the national.

I suspect that it really might have been 'buried deep'. If you are capturing the data short term, to allow a small scroll back, then you wrote the data to some storage system. At three hours or whatever the short term storage limit is, you delete the file. Usually deleting a file leaves the data intact on the storage device. Only the file entry and a list of what low level storage blocks actually contained data. It could take awhile before the data is actually overwritten. Up until the point it is, you could scan the contents of unallocated blocks looking for the data. It could theoretically take awhile to find a customer id or something else that helps you identify the deleted data.

This is correct. It has to be buried below the frost line else we would have frozen footage.

The guy did seem to be wearing a warm coat and gloves so obviously pretty cold where the video was, probably just below the frost line.

They ultimately found it sandwiched between the videos of epstein uncut jail cell footage and Jan 6's lost video exhibits.

Is that book okay for a 10yo girl?

She might find the film [1] more digestible. I enjoyed it a lot. But obviously if you're specifically after a book that doesn't help.

yes? it's got sexist and classist elements and satirizes victorian culture.

i'd encourage reading it ahead of gifting (and i'd encourage grabbing it from archive.org or something, since it's 141 years old) because not all 10 yearolds are going to receive it the same way

A css fix would prevent this.

Also make the damn upvote buttons bigger on mobile.

Hckrnews.com is a far better frontent. Implemented the long line fix, and also preserves topics that were upvoted to the top and subsequently flagged to death by bot farms or the owners.

Notability is subjective

In the Universe, yes. In the closed system of Wikipedia, no, it's a well defined term with clearly established criteria, tested over the years on thousands of Talk pages on controversial pages, of how to achieve consensus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

What other sci fi technology is being lost on us now? I always that the complexity of the local-battery-powered copper-cable telephone exchange system was bonkers. It was the backbone for all our landline calls.

The telephone system also powered the phone, and often worked when the power grid did not.

Without having smelled croton oil myself, canned brisling (which is what it is, even if it was sold as sardines) has a quite strong smell and taste. I can easily imagine that it could mask the pungent smell of the croton oil.

Sometimes people seem to learn from history by treating it like a playbook.
