How Many Resources Shared on Social Media Have Been Lost? (2012) - <AUTHOR> https://arxiv.org/abs/1209.3026 <comment><USER2> Yep. The way social sites encourage you to share your content via their websites and only their websites is not good for longevity of content. It will disappear over time.

I do think you need your content in a share friendly way in order to get any visibility anymore, but you also need to keep a 'non-social' version of it (linked from the shared version) if you want it to stick around for the long haul and maintain link integrity.

I still pay for web hosting, and if I ever get a solid weekend again I intend to put up a much simpler, almost early WWW homepage, and Archive.org friendly, to store my projects and thoughts on, that I plan to keep up as long as I'm still kicking (the domain might eventually change, I haven't settled on that yet).

I used to want to show off my web developer skills and make fancy pages, but that just makes me never get around to finishing and/or updating them. There's a reason busy people often have bare-bones websites, and you can still make a simple website look decent with HTML and CSS.

<comment><USER3> I quit using Facebook around 4 years ago and have since then learned AWS pretty well. Last summer after my son turned 1, I realized I was at risk of losing all my photos because they were sitting around on random devices and hard drives. I set up my own 250GB EBS volume and went through everything I had and archived it in that volume chronologically.

       /mnt/raw/photos/2014/06/IMG_5930.JPG

etc.

I've even built tooling around it to help sync my photos from my computer whenever I plug my phone in. I also wrote a custom web server in Go that makes it easy for me to arrange them into albums and email its URL to friends and family. I even hope to eventually learn Swift and just build an app like iCloud that will upload everything directly from the phone, with no laptop required.

It's all completely overkill, but I enjoy knowing that I have full control and ownership over it. It's a nice little "fuck you" to Facebook. It's also been a fun project to work on. It's the 2016 equivalent of my parents' bookshelf full of dusty photo albums from the 90's. At least there's a decent chance it will survive the next 20 years.

<comment><USER4> Sounded all good until I read this: "email them to friends and family."

You have a weak link there. In today's day and age, most people expect not to send or receive emails. Be that family photos or birthday wishes. The expectations is to share in a pool of social media, for everyone to see (or not see).

I am not a naysayer of your method (I prefer email), but it is practically too much work to select and send emails (takes a lot of thinking and decision making). This is why one-click sharing on social media, has been able to evolve to a point where it has set such an expectations across common denominator crowd.

<comment><USER5> _> In today's day and age, most people expect not to send or receive emails_

People who don't care about your shit expect not to send or receive emails, just easy to digest posts in an infinite timeline while they're on the toilet.

But people who care about what you have to send them (e.g. your grandma when you send her pictures of you and your boyfriend on vacation, your dad when you send him pictures of his grandchildren, a close friend when you tell her about your new job) are very happy to receive what you have to send to them and reply to it, no matter the medium.

Yes, if you want to address 99% of your social network email is probably not as good as Facebook, but if you only care about the 10% that's closest to you, the technology doesn't matter. One of my best friends from high school still sends me paper letters, and I am ecstatic to receive them when I do.

<comment><USER4> I agree with you. I clarified similar position in a followup[0]. However, let's not just confine ourselves to grandma and personal pictures. The issue is all encompassing content; some of lesser value, and some greater. You may think all of your shared content is of value, but the receiver may not feel the same. You have to judge (think) before you direct your message. It is of course an easy choice to send baby's pictures to the grandma, but when you have to target different pictures, you have to think about the target audience. Going one level deep, you may have a story to share instead of a picture. You are now hard pressed to email because you know others may have already seen it, or something else.

Ultimately, the evolution of the web to the social media has happened due to human's lazy nature. We are not capable of directing messages of mass nature to one-on-one. We can direct messages of personal nature to one-on-one, but that's about it. For this reason, social media - versus email - has been able to make inroads into people's lives. Certainly, we feel that one-to-many is not the right approach, hence we form this or that group, to confine ourselves into self-created boundaries (groups have its own pros and cons).

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER6> There are at least two distinct patterns producing this result.

One is the obvious pattern of sharing new and ephemeral content. John Kerry's campaign site was popular for a time, but disappeared with waning public interest.

The second, more interesting pattern is of content which is lost _because it is shared_. Think of works like Flappy Bird - taken down to spare its creator excess attention - or copyright-violating works that face legal action when they grow too notable. Seeqpod remains one of the best internet music services I've ever found. I used it for two years, after which it became notable and won enough R&D awards that the record industry sued it into bankruptcy, a victim of its own success.

The simple result here, about disappearing content, is worthwhile. But I would be fascinated to see an investigation of how many shares are received by content which is _removed_ instead of _abandoned_ , to look at what constitutes critical mass for legal and financial headaches.

</comment><comment><USER7> the same could be said of most forms of media. how many stupid tv commercials and made for TV movies are only preserved via a betamax cassette at a hoarder's house?

<comment><USER8> Tons and tons of works are basically lost because of this. It's the kind of thing the Lost Media Wiki is trying to track:

[http://lostmediawiki.com/Home](http://lostmediawiki.com/Home)

And for an example of a made for TV movie nearly lost this way... well, the Rapsittie Kids Believe in Santa was only found in September 2015, presumably thanks to some random guy saving it on a tape or something:

[http://lostmediawiki.com/Rapsittie_Street_Kids:_Believe_in_S...](http://lostmediawiki.com/Rapsittie_Street_Kids:_Believe_in_Santa_\(Found_CGI_Animated_TV_Movie;_2002\))

Of course, it also kind of proves that a lot of lost media isn't particularly good (the film mentioned there is one of the worst animated films ever made, and yet somehow still managed to air on network TV), but yeah, same thing applies. Lots of thought lost or thought non existent media is just waiting around on videos and cassettes.

<comment> at-fates-hands Wired did an article back in 2015 about the underground bunker that houses some of the most famous Hollywood movies:

Inside the Nuclear Bunker Where America Preserves Its Movie History - [http://www.wired.com/2015/07/film- preservation/](http://www.wired.com/2015/07/film-preservation/)

 _Willeman presides over more than 160,000 reels of combustible cinematic treasure, from the original camera negatives of 1903's The Great Train Robbery to the early holdings of big studios like Columbia, Warner Bros, and Universal. And more barrels keep showing up every week._

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER9> I use a backup over the net provider for all my photos and videos, it costs me about $5 a month.

This is one of the reasons I started my food side project [https://bestfoodnearme.com](https://bestfoodnearme.com) I realized if I shared an amazing dish on a social network, it would get lost in the timeline black hole after a short duration.

</comment><comment><USER10> I was using thinkup.com for the last few years as a way to archive my FB and Twitter postings - alas it is no more.

Wish there was a good tool to do this (on Linux - so digi.me is not an option (not to mention clunky as hell)).

Would also love to be able to archive my HN comments. There's been times when I've wanted to recall something I know I've previously written here, which has been a bit laborious to find.

</comment><comment><USER11> Is it a bad thing? I imagine most results from such data will not have direct benefit for users (advertisement, profiling, persecution).

<comment><USER12> Tricky question.

At the moment destroying these means destroying people's external memory. The "promise" was to keep them for us, so we needn't have to worry of keeping it ourselves, and so we can "live" more, since there is less to worry about.

Many will only realize years later how bad this is, and will try to re-live an experience which they physically attended to, but not really took apart in it - just to find that all of this is gone.

So at one point, it's a good thing that they are gone: people will learn not to rely on them. From another perspective, it will result it a lot of lost memories.

But hey, we need to learn our lessons somehow.

<comment><USER11> Sounds like a good idea for startup. Archive someones social media, if they require it. Perhaps browser plugin which archives all visited pages with some filtering.

<comment><AUTHOR> To me, startups are a little too flaky for this job. They have a pattern of deleting customer data when they fail, and the nature of startups is that they mostly fail. I'd prefer a tool I can run locally, or a larger established player like the Internet Archive.

<comment><USER13> I keep looking for a good long-term, low maintenance solution for storing, organizing, and sharing family data (photos, videos, stories, _et c._ ) and haven't found anything even close to good enough for me to commit to it. It must be a Hard Problem, I guess. Or demand is low because everyone just relies on Facebook or whatever to do it for them.

<comment><USER14> I recommend taking a look at GNU Mediagoblin for collecting/sharing your personal media. It supports multiple file types, like pictures, video, audio, and text.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER15> I lost much more with web, email servers or databases going down, than anything on one if the big social sites. Google code was a big loss but had a nice exporter.

</comment><comment><USER16> This makes me wonder: does Archive.org crawl Youtube?

<comment><AUTHOR> They seem to have some YouTube pages archived e.g. [https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?...](https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0) They're definitely interested in archiving interesting videos but the project isn't there yet.</comment></comment>


The Subprime Ad Crisis Is Here - <AUTHOR> https://medium.com/@robleathern/the-subprime-ad-crisis-is-here-6ac028133c93 <comment><USER2> This strikes me as misleading without the (2016) in the title, since the title creates a sense of "now".

Happy Dogs NYC (happydogsnyc.com), a local dog daycare business, is looking for a programmer to maintain and enhance a Django/Javascript web app used for internal task workflow, scheduling, billing, and customer management.

Features to be added including exposing parts of the app to end-customers for self-service tasks, enhancing Facebook and other third-party login, adding automated credit card processing, optimizing mobile web access, supporting multiple store locations, and streamlining input forms.

This small, interesting project would be ideal for a capable freelancer or part-time intern looking to improve his or her Python, Django, and JavaScript skills in a real-world application -- and who wants exposure to agile and/or test-driven development methodologies -- with training provided as needed by a former Google product director (and co-owner of the business), who wrote the existing web app.

I solve problems using software, including:

        Teaching computers to identify characteristics of
        images and text with little or no human intervention
        Building prototypes
        Building complete products
        Fixing problems with existing software
        Adding features to existing software

I have more experience with web and server-based applications than desktop or mobile, but I'm adaptable and can work with the technologies the project requires.

A few languages and tools I've worked with lately are: Javascript, JQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Python, Django, Ruby, Rails, Lua, PHP, Java, Haskell, Clojure and C++.

Though I'm not looking for work as a full-time sysadmin, I can set up servers and deploy apps to them. I have basic experience with EC2 as well. I can go from nothing to your full-stack application running on a server without outside help.

Here's an example of a web application I built for a client: <http://renthubnyc.com> \- EDIT - looks like the client took this one offline. Demo on request.

I am a sysadmin who loves to efficiently solve business problems. With a DevOps background, twelve years of sysadmin experience, and a passion for problem-solving, I am keen to help HNers achieve their goals.

My main areas of expertise are:

        Scaling high traffic websites
        Designing highly-reliable applications
        Building applications on AWS
        Server maintenance and optimisation
        Reducing the cost of existing AWS resources
        Developing prototypes and full sites in Django

Although primarily a sysadmin, I am also experienced with Django/Python development. I am building my own startup with these technologies, so I know the sort of problems startups face.

I am building a business around the idea of a 'sysadmin as a service' for those people who need regular sysadmin work, yet do not have enough projects to justify hiring a full-time sysadmin. Would you like a friendly expert to work on ad hoc projects and also be available for emergency support?

For AWS cost-reduction projects, I am willing to give a "no win, no fee" guarantee - if I fail to reduce your AWS bill by the amount I state at the beginning of the project, there will be no charge.

RECENT WORK

A financial customer service relationship management software involving big data sets. I personally wrote three of the most complex aspects of the site, including a real time event log using node.js. A highly customised version of a DataTables.net data table, and several bespoke map reduce queries extracting complex statistics quickly from multiple MongoDB collections, and displaying them using Google Interactive Charts.

A bespoke on-line content management system to generate a playable/customisable quiz for a high profile government backed website. The application was written using the Yii PHP framework which allowed me to get the basic CRUD/User Login management feature complete in just five days. The application also tracks users answers and information and displays statistics in the content management system.

I have been shipping software for more than 10 years now, and love building high-quality products (or at least try my best for it!). I have recently started freelancing after my stint as a single founder, and am currently doing part-time contract work remotely for another HN member's startup.

I am proficient with Ruby on Rails and generally quite adept at picking up new technologies as per the needs of the product. I call myself a generalist, and if you are a non-technical person, I can handle most of the things for you that go in to building & launching a software product (including screen flows, server-side programming, system administration, analytics & a little bit of digital marketing.)

I am open to a potential co-founder role as well, but as you know well, a _lot_ of things need to fall in place for it. I guess it would be best if we work together on a short project first to see how good we are as a team.

Have you ever paid a consultancy or freelancer for a product and while what you got back technically worked it turned out to be made entirely of duct tape and band-aids? Me too. That's why I'm here. It makes me mad to see people pay good money for bad work.

I'm here to handle the projects that you need to get done, but don't quite have the time for. I'm all about the agile, and you will get a daily status report and code check-in that will fit right into your standup. No more wondering what's been done and what remains.

I'm a big believer in TDD and will provide you with full tests along with the solution, so when it comes time for you to modify it yourself you won't have to wonder if your change is going to break something.

I specialize in .NET, specifically MVC and web services (WebAPI, WCF). I was doing Single Page Applications before they were cool (and before anyone knew about Knockout.js).

I'm also familiar with Ruby, MySQL and Mongo if you lean that way.

I'm a skilled _user experience and interaction designer_ , with broad experience across many types of companies and applications.

I don't do art and I don't do implementation; I do "how it works" and "is this really a good idea" and "here's seven studies for or against." I do strict information architecture, customer and user research, interaction design and user experience design. I work with artists and programmers if you need more than that.

Recent work examples are here: <http://vitor.io/portfolio>

In the past, I've founded three startups (real-time 3D visualization, developer relations/support platform as a service, seasonal consumer goods delivery), I have a development background, and I have particular strengths in the video game industry, and in emerging technologies like wearable computing and the Internet of Things.

</comment><comment><USER53> Seeking Freelancer - Rails Developer (Los Angeles or Remote)

Our IOS app / website is getting ready for beta launch in the next week and we're looking for a rails developer to join our existing team.

Your job would be to further build out our backend, help manage / scale server side, and also possibly do some front-end web work.

This would start as a freelance job, although ideally would turn full-time if your work is high quality.

We're using:

\- Ruby on Rails 3 (3.1) \- Memcached \- Redis and Resque \- Heroku \- Amazon AWS \- PostgreSQL

This could be a really exciting opportunity - we're growing pretty fast, have some powerful / celebrity investors, and a street team of 50+ waiting & ready to go.

If you're in LA we have an awesome office in West Hollywood you can work from - but remote works as well as long as you can communicate daily via Skype / BaseCamp.

Shoot an email to email@example.com with some info (website, blog, github, etc.) and we can chat to see if you'd be a good fit.

</comment><comment><USER54> SEEKING WORK - NYC, remote

Myself and a friend are both experienced, senior web developers (Rails & Ruby, Ember, Coffee, Backbone, Scala for starters). We're looking for a project we can knock right out of the park. We've both been founders and early employees at several startups in NYC and elsewhere, but never worked together.

Some things we've been interested in lately: iOS development, Ember.js and thick-client apps, mobile optimized web dev, git integrations, ways to interact with the physical world, ways to build better teams and culture.

Our ideal project is probably remote, about 20-30 hours a week each, has a clear finished state, and involves solving a new problem. We're open to project rate, hourly rate, or equity compensation. Basically, we're flexible about all this stuff and just looking for smart people who would like to work with us. So get in touch. email@example.com

Developer (frontend + backend) & Interface Designer

I consider myself both a coder and designer, but I don't half-ass know things -- I'm pretty experienced in both realms. I've done everything from designing the UX/UI for brand new products to building distributed systems on Amazon EC2/SQS/SMS.

A few projects (happy to discuss details via email):

\- Self project: <http://myfotojournal.com/> (Django + front-end + design)

\- Self project: <http://photobattle.me/> (Rails + front-end + design)

\- Self project: <http://craftingtype.com/> (Designed site, copywriting/newsletter, co-organized event)

\- I've worked on Carbonmade (<http://carbonmade.com/>), TestFlight (<https://testflightapp.com/>), Yardstick (<http://getyardstick.com/>), and many projects with Lift (<http://www.liftinteractive.com/>)

Experience with:

\- Python, Django

\- Ruby, Rails, Sinatra

\- JavaScript (including large apps, jQuery, some Backbone, etc)

\- HTML / CSS (including responsive design)

\- Interface Design

\- Some iOS development (the Carbonmade app I worked on _just_ launched! <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/carbonmade/id551454081?mt=8>)

\- Totally comfy with git, command line, and sysadmin stuff

I've dabbled in a bunch of other languages and am pretty quick to pickup & be productive in new tech.

\- Dribbble: <http://dribbble.com/kylefox>

\- My grossly outdated website: <http://kylefox.ca/>

I think (hope?!) I'm personable and easy to work with. I'm ideally looking for product development work (as opposed to designing/building brochure websites). Everything is fair game, from a few hours/week of piece work to taking on full projects from start to finish.

I'm a problem solver, not a code monkey. The choice of language or framework does not matter that much. I can easily and quickly pick up a new language or a framework and get up to speed and be productive with it.

On the front-end I work with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or any higher level language that compiles to them, such as Haml, Jade, CoffeeScript, Stylus, etc. I can work with any javascript framework/library. jQuery, Underscore, Backbone, Knockout, etc.

On the back-end I can work with any modern language and/or framework. I've worked with Django, Flask, Express.js, Google Go, and I have no problem at all quickly picking up a new language/framework. Same with databases; I've worked with Postgres, Redis, and CouchDB, and I can easily adapt to any other DB.

I care about what I do. I insist on delivering quality code and quality products.

I can simplify problems and build UIs that are nice and clean and fast. I strive for quality; I won't deliver crap.

Is PostgreSQL dead at Sun? - <AUTHOR> http://blogs.sun.com/jkshah/entry/is_postgresql_dead_at_sun

If I were being sarcastic, I might say that, translated, that's "yes, it's dead at Sun".

</comment><comment><USER3> PostgreSQL isn't going away anytime soon and with the MySQL acquisition Sun is in an excellent position now to offer the best paid support for both the #1 and #2 open source databases as well as offer some unique product bundles.

However I'm still wondering how they'll ever make back the 500 Million they spent to get MySQL.</comment>


I have a Nexus One and an iPhone 3G in the drawer, both ready to be adopted - <AUTHOR> http://scripting.com/stories/2010/10/24/aTaleOfTwoPhones.html <comment><USER2> From someone who knows what is going on during the iPhone restore sequence, and from what he said, the iPhone NOT bricked. If it is offering to restore, the bootloaders are running (it's actually impossible to brick an iPhone via software), so he just needs to mess around a little bit and restore to the latest software. I'm sure that with a little Googling of the error message, he could get it working again in an hour or two.

I still don't understand how this has to do with Apple as a whole. Hell, in that case, I'd take it in to the Apple Store, even if it's out of warranty: they'd probably replace it anyway. All I see here is that the author is lazy, and doesn't want to bother doing anything to make their paid-for device work... even if that just involves going to the store and having them fix it.

</comment><comment><USER3> Lately it has been hard to tell when someone is using the term 'brick' in the strict sense, or to mean that they've just lost interest in resolving the problem. Not much here to help the reader decide which sense the word was used in.

<comment><USER4> It's Dave Winer, so it's pretty easy to guess which he means.

<comment><USER5> And for those of us not familiar with Dave Winer?

<comment><USER4> He likes to whine.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER6> What's the point of this post? What did anyone learn from this? This is a pointless rant that belongs on someone's Facebook wall, not on a blog with thousands of readers.

<comment><USER7> From my reading of his posts, Dave has great domain specific knowledge, but outside of that he tends give up quickly or jump to conclusions (see article as example)

He is one of the Ur-bloggers, having started Userland and been doing a blog- like site for 10+ years, and is often very insightful, but his blog seems to be written for an audience of 1, himself. If you go into it with other expectations, you'll probably be disappointed.

In short, don't rag on him - do go for perspective.

(this is probably my most meta HN post yet)

<comment><AUTHOR> I've been blogging at scripting.com for 13 years.

And your explanation of blogging is pretty correct. It's surprising after all this time that people still don't get it, that a blog post is just one person's experience.

They're so accustomed to being told that there is a kind of writing that's anything more. That somehow the big publications tap into a well of collective wisdom that's greater than one person's experience.

Anyway, thanks for explaining. Some of the people here need to have it laid out for them. :-)

BTW, on the third try, the iPhone did fix itself. My friend still went home with the Nexus One, happily.
