    The @internetarchive is such an incredible treasure. Yesterday, used it to check something on Stripe's first homepage. Today, successfully found an issue of the Atlantic from 1880 that @TheAtlantic's site lacks. Thank you, @brewster_kahle!

        Besides Wikipedia and the Internet Archive, what are the internet's finest "public goods" websites? (And are there any obvious ones that don't exist that should?)

        Their video section is also full of great (otherwise hard to find) content! For instance, they have 124 episodes of Netcafé - a show about the Internet from the late 90s https://archive.org/details/netcafe  check out the amazing intro👇pic.twitter.com/l1Rxhv47er

        I was also recently looking at Stripe’s early website and one thing that I noticed was how many of the early employees went to accomplish great things outside of Stripe.
