I guess the libraries and schools can make the decision and throw out things they don’t find useful.

It probably also depends on the book. I have tons of outdated books on obscure topics within engineering, science, and computing. I doubt anyone would check out my 1995 book on the Vi text editor from a library. Although, if I’m lucky, perhaps it could be a collectors item some day. In reality, I’m probably going to just say “thank you for helping me so many years ago” and respectfully recycle the book.

Mind if I ask where? I would love to see the glow worms some day. I have only seen videos, but it looks amazing.

A bit more historic, but still very relevant. The FBI used surveillance in repeated attempts to discredit Martin Luther King JR. It’s chilling how they used the information they gathered to try to get rid of MLK any way they could. They were even trying to use information they gathered to convince him to commit suicide.

It would be nice if you could whitelist sites for cookies. That way you can stay logged into things like email.

Yeah, automatic posts drive me away faster than anything. Good point on cross posting though, I just followed your advice. It’s pretty much free if your post fits in multiple places and there are lots of nearly empty communities right now.

Awesome! I was waiting for a community like this.

I still haven’t finished it so I am still forming an overall opinion, but its certainly interesting so far.

Blindsight was great, I need to read it a second time.

Awesome, adding that one to my reading list!

The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. I love reading science fiction from people with engineering and science backgrounds. Another good book I finished recently was Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

There is an effort to backup all of reddit to archive.org. Perhaps you can use that to retrieve them?
