  • I used to volunteer at my local thrift store and that sometimes meant going through donation boxes to determine what was worth keeping. Sometimes those bags had actual garbage in them. Lots of older men who didn’t wash the back of their neck (or if they were in a home the nurse didn’t)

    We had two bags in the back for stuff we didn’t keep. If it was actual garbage it went in the trash. If it was just unlikely to sell and someone was willing to make the trip it would go to Goodwill.














  • Forgive me because I’m not very familiar with the technology, but 99 petabytes (estimated size of the Internet Archive) seems like a little much for even a large network of home computers.

    Don’t get me wrong, decentralizing would be great, but I just don’t understand how it would be done at this level, especially when, in the grand scheme of things, I don’t think there’s a whole lot of people who would pitch in.
