That's a lot of domains! Did you source that from some other list, or is that a result of 67k individual entries? Either way, I appreciate it.

Out of curiosity, what's the rationale for blocking archive.is? Legal reasons I assume?

Not really. 67k/350m=0.02%

It's unavailable a lot ("Tell HN: Archive.* Is Unavailable" >>35749833 "Ask HN: Archive.is Captcha Problems Lately?" >>37077049 ) so discussions tend to end up being about archive.is instead of the content.

And 0.02% is really a lot.

It's not sourced from any other list, it's just what mod actions and software filters have accumulated over the years.

0.02% of a big number ... is still a big number

0.02% of 10,000 is 2 - pretty small

0.02% of 1,000,000,000 is 200,000 ... kinda big :)

In my opinion, absolute value is not important here, what matters is the fraction. I consider 0.02% to be large by itself for the given context.

This is subjective, but for me here a small fraction would be a few orders of magnitude less than that - few ten-millionths or less.

Exactly, it is subjective, 0.02% is small in my opinion. Yet I'm getting downvoted and told that isn't small. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's important here is the negative impact of the blacklist on communication. Probably some downvoters mean that the blacklist is big enough that the impact is important, and disagree with your supposed implication that it isn't.

Agreed, you're probably right about that.
