Does anyone remember that string of numbers that people would post on reddit, and then all the comments would be like "oh god" "ugh my trauma" etc, because it was the url for some hentai story that was supposed to be heartbreaking? I feel like that would be a good candidate, assuming it also has a word-based title so you don't have to go around saying "have you seen 2141335649?" or whatever.

I dunno, I'm realizing I don't know any horrific hentai offhand. I guess you could just say "teletubbies rule 34" or something, instead of a specific title. Tbh I'd just say goatse for this bit, because I'm old.

Edit: apparently it was 177013, Emergence. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that's too generic a title to just say "have you seen Emergence?" Also they later changed the title to metamorphosis, which is no better. Apparently there are other "cursed numbers" too, but I have run out of interest / attention span to research further.

This has been pretty widely discussed under the name "the double empathy problem", although as always it's good to have more actual data. The general gist in the existing discussion is that autistic people and allistic people have trouble with each other's communication styles, but this is treated as a communication deficit in autistic people rather than two different styles that have difficulty understanding each other. An analogy might be a minority that (poorly) speaks the language of the majority, and then is considered stupid despite the fact that they are bilingual and none of the people they're speaking to have made an effort to learn the minority language.

I wasn't sure to what extent this was autistic community in-group jargon, so I spent time trying to loosely explain it, when it turns out that a quick Google to check whether I'm crazy indicates it's pretty well established and I could probably have just linked the Wikipedia page.

Probably Wayne Gretzky? I don't even know anything about ice hockey and I know he's supposed to be the most dominant player of any sport. Like he and his brother have the record for highest combined goals of any pair of brothers: 2,857 by Wayne, 4 by Brent. If you take away all his goals, he'd be the highest scoring player of all time on assists alone. There have been 13 times when a player has scored over 100 goals in a season in NHL history: Lemieux (once), Orr (once), and Gretzy (eleven times in a row). He retired last century and still holds 57 records. I'm not gonna keep picking out examples but there's a bunch more facts like this that sound like the old "chuck norris facts" meme but are actually true.

"If you don't know anything about ice hockey why do you have all these facts on hand?" - I remembered seeing this kind of list before so I did a quick Google.

Edit: I'm seeing some different exact figures for some of these, but the general principle stands and I'm not invested enough in hockey facts to nail down which numbers are exactly right.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think this would be on archivetopia. I think the question would be whether healthcorp had taken reasonable care to preserve these records, or had been negligent by leaving them entirely in the hands of archivetopia. It seems to me that the former would be the case, and that archivetopia has failed to appropriately safeguard those files, if a random employee can delete them without any procedures in place to prevent that or to keep additional backups.

Obviously there are multiple points of failure here - any one out of healthcorp, archivetopia, or the employee could have acted differently to prevent this. But if healthcorp had a reasonable expectation that handing these documents over to archivetopia would meet their obligations to preserve them, they should be in the clear - just as they would be if their document warehouse met all health and safety regulations but somehow burned down anyway. In both cases, they did what they could but events beyond their control resulted in data loss. In both cases, there is still a question about reasonable care: Did their warehouse meet all safety requirements? Did they have good reason to believe that these documents would be safe with archivetopia? If the answer to those questions is no, they are still at fault. If yes, they are in the clear.

On top of this, archivetopia is certainly at fault (multiple parties may be in the wrong here). And of course, the employee is at fault, although I don't know if they'd be legally culpable or if it would be an internal matter.

Not a conclusive answer, but I hope this helps to clarify some of the considerations involved.

Habitat 67 is another building designed for this sort of thing. The idea was high density but with gardens and a sense of community, and designed around mass-produceable modules that could be configured in a customized way. A lot of people dislike the look because the modular fabrication method used a lot of concrete, but I still think it's a neat idea, both the original concept and the actual implementation which was trimmed down for budget reasons.

It was intended to produce cost-effective public housing, but since all we have is the prototype that was built for a world fair, there's a fair bit of history and novelty involved that means the units are fairly expensive these days iirc.
