This is not what an oil well looks like, and the article doesn't help with phrasing like "depleted cavern". An oil well is not a big cave filled with black, bubbling oil and a big "straw" poked into it. The hydrocarbons are held in the porosity of the rock, and pressures (both natural and introduced) force them to the wellbore. A very poor sponge is a better visible analogy, but even that over-represents the voids.
Post the actual URI, then put archive URI in comment. If it helps people (with paywalls or hug of death or whatever) people will often upvote it and it will achieve a reasonably prominent position among the comments.
People notice that. Archive links remove important info from the post, this is a pretty well-settled HN thing with lots of moderator commentary if you want an infinite supply of reasoning.
Frankly, I also think it's not right to put load on archive.org's servers when not necessary.
Also, if people use archive.org explicitly to avoid paywalls, sites are just going to block archive.org, and then we won't have an Archive (to check whether the article gets updated, for instance).
You're asking me for stats about a statistically non-existent problem you made up. How many article get changed after they get posted and this isn't brought up in the comments?
Also, sometimes articles get changed because authors respond to HN feedback. Interaction between authors and the community is one of the valuable things about the forum. There's no added value to discussing some frozen snapshot of a web page - its a web forum for talking about web links rather than some revision control system.
You are the one that said that people actually notice that... I was trying to find out where you got that from.
No, you said 'what if the page changes' which is not really a thing and when it's a thing, it's a totally normal thing. It's a non-problem that I got from your comment.
you can get the domain name from the archived page...
You can also get the archived page from the archived page, if you prefer the archived page.
Are you an HN admin trying to defend strange policies?
By banishment of free speech, you mean the right of a private entity to decline to host content that they seem to not be a fit with their ideals and brand?
I don't think this is a freedom of speech issue.
Instead, it's an issue that the private operators (codeberg & sourcehut) are looking to apply their own freedom of speech to take a stance against projects that have a high case of fraud.
You see the same thing from Stripe[1]: they ban similarity predatory systems from using their services & tarnishing their brand.
> I don't think this is a freedom of speech issue.
it is, when the platform is so huge and are controlled by the government behind the curtains... Doesn't surprise me that people on HN are pro-Biden when I hear stuff like this....
I'm sorry, what? Controlled by the government "behind the curtains"?
You might want to take a step back and evaluate that thought process.
Private entities are not violating freedom of speech as a legal construct and as an issue of an ideological construct - isn't it violating the private entities freedom of speech when they're being forced to host speech they don't agree with?
If you're saying that you believe a shadow governnent is controlling twitter and that's why it's considered free speech - since it's a government entity in that case, uh, I don't really think that's plausible.
If you don't need an IP to be connected to the internet, sign me up... I think they are full of it though... Even if you only have one IP.... you still have an IP

Is it better to have the large voids that were created when oïl was extracted?
