Down for me too.

Thanks.

@pg do you think having automatic archived mirrors linked on all submission would be detrimental to linked articles ?

The slashdot[1] effect has been around for a long time.

Auto mirroring would be nice but at the same time it leaves a lot of open questions about content ownership, ability of the content owner to edit, monetize etc. The New York Times would not be happy if HN links were automatically mirrored and I imagine they'd be quick to protect their rights on that front.

Even just a summary? We've got nothing. The site is down and even the archive.org link above isn't responding.

My guess just based on title is something along the lines of silos are bad so lets make a better silo. But, our silo will be a really nice silo. Forgetting that's what everyone has been doing forever. The wheel of IT rotates forever and this is a very old idea that fits the title.

Nope, it actually says that this silo is empty, let's go to that other one that's more popular and about to be standardized instead of making 2 standards.

If not auto-mirror then at least links to Google Cache and Webarchive in the interface would probably be welcome.

You could install Resurrect Pages https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resurrect-pag... which gives you links to IA and Google caches with a right-click.
