Agreed.

No, he's trying to reclass a murder as an incident of roadrage. When you drive a car into a crowd at high speed that transcends mere anger, that's murder and in this particular case the perpetrator is someone who deliberately came to a protest of a lot of people who are on the record as wanting to engage in acts of violence. So when they then do engage in those acts it is no longer simple anger.

Simple anger would be if a visitor to a bar would do something like this after being thrown out of a bar. Trying to recast this whole thing as a simple case of an angry protestor at some otherwise peaceful protest is significantly changing the story.
I don't want to get into an argument about definitions or semantics. Those phrases are different, but they come across similarly to me and many others, at least in this context. That's really all that matters in a casual discussion like this.

I understand not everyone will have the same reaction. I don't pretend to speak for everyone, but I suspect I speak for the majority.
Bi-Rite is convenient to Dolores Park, but the product is very unexceptional in SF in 2017. Like almost all the other boutique shops, they're not a state-certified pasteurizer, so they're legally required to buy "ice cream base" from one; they use Straus, like most high-end shops in the Bay:

https://missionlocal.org/2015/06/san-francisco-ice-cream-is-...

http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-wholes...

Because of the pasteurization requirement, you can't legally buy the best ice cream in the world in California -- compare the taste of Straus milk to milk straight out of a cow.

Other SF shops have much more creative flavors these days, if that's more your thing.
Technically if you don't agree with the terms then you are still able to use the code. An end user can't really violate the GPL.
That's a pretty serious character attack and insinuation of misbehavior.

I can attest at least that my own entry is accurately represented and I have not been in contact with any other developer who has expressed that they have not been able to add their own entry or that luke-jr or Theymos have otherwise misrepresented their entries.

Have you heard from anyone having such difficulties listing their opinion that this is not a good source for developer sentiment on fork proposals?

That's misleading. The fork isn't supported by the developers of the Bitcoin Core wallet, but it is supported by the developers of the Bitcoin Classic, Unlimited, and BTC1 wallets.
I think in some cases "improved" efficiency for mobile has actually harmed subjective performance, because it encourages trading latency for throughput. I care more about how fast software feels than how fast it benchmarks. Worst cast latency matters. I'd happily accept a thicker and heavier device if it meant I never had to wait for it.
I mean neither is a giant wall of legal text that everyone is just going to skip over either.
Software was never on the rails. This whole industry has, AFAICT, been flying by the seat of its pants from Day 1 with whatever hacks get today's job done. For a while, that meant hacks to save space and time. Now... it doesn't.

That is the familiar way. But when lies travel faster than corrections, and bots can automate the Gish gallop, it's hard to imagine truth actually winning.
The events in color are reverse-order and take place after the shooting of Jimmy.

The movie interleaves them so you have a post-shooting event then a pre-shooting event until you get to the end where the shooting happens then it leads to the exposition.
> Usually you have to do something drastic to actively disprove the libelous claim

Yes, that something is called suing for libel and proving it is libel in a court.

Simply claiming something is libel (which Prince doesn't even do in his blog post) doesn't make it libel.

> Usually you have to do something drastic to actively disprove the libelous claim, if you want to regain the lost reputation.

Because of Cloudflare's action there are now 1000 times as many people, including myself, who are aware of TDS's claim who otherwise wouldn't have heard of it.
> That said, I think crossing this content line for an infrastructure company is a big deal, and I hope it's not repeated.

It's an incredibly terrible move. Such an arbitrary and biased move.

What has happened in the past few years where everyone defended free speech to everyone deciding arbitrary and whimsical censorship is something to be lauded? It feels like someone just flipped a switch and people became pro-censorship.

The tech industry is doing the same the chinese or russians are doing. Justifying censorship for "good/morals/etc".

Hate the nazis all you want but we are hurting ourselves by allow censorship on this level. These peole aren't going away. But now there is terrible precedent where social media/tech/etc can censor whatever they want. It's incredible.
This isn't about a protected class, that wouldn't even be the argument.

Civil lawsuits only look at damages and the argument on what caused the damages. It is just about proving monetary damages.
The 1x chain will take months to adjust difficulty since it will have ~5% hashrate; the 2x chain will be fine.
This is how I read the idea in the comment you replied to: external factors (namely, needing money to satisfy even the most basic life needs), not biological ones, are the ones that drive some places to have a more evenly split men/women ratio. When the environment is "safe" enough that you don't need to worry about how you're going to survive, that's when the biological predispositions come to light, and you get women going to what they inherently prefer, and move away from the things they don't.

I don't think the point is that women can't successfully tackle engineering, they can. But that doesn't mean that they have a predisposition towards it. If you encourage (or even force) someone into a particular profession, they might excel at it, but that doesn't imply that they would've picked it on their own.
Famous last words before you get silenced.

The fact that US hosting companies have the pretty much unquestioned choice to decide whether or not to host websites of organizations supporting a faction of armed rebellion against the US, to me says we're probably doing this right.

Do not put words in my mouth. I never said it wasn't murder. I said it was not an act of terrorism. Road rage can end in murder. It does not become a terrorist act.
Same here. I can load sites with AMP (or its competitors) faster on my low-end to mid-range phones fine, and on a metered Internet connection.

As much as I don't like it on a webmaster / blogger perspective, it does help a lot in getting a wider audience than by only offering a "responsive theme".
The linked post is PR, or more accurately, damage control; and I say this with no malice towards Cloudflare. Simply, it's in their Terms of Service [1] that they can terminate accounts for any reason, which is exactly what they did.

Unfortunately for them, this puts them squarely in the same category as, say, Google [2][3][4], whose near-ubiquitous presence in people's digital lives intersects with their black-box suspension behavior and near-memetic lack of customer support, to unpleasant effects. And no ill will towards Google either; they are just one of several examples who exist at the sweet spot of significant market share, widespread presence at various layers of information-networking, and a largely disconnected customer support experience.

Cloudflare is trying to set themselves apart from a company (and competitors) that evoke that association by blogging about the gravity of their decision, but at this stage their writings aren't backed by demonstrable due process, like they aspire to work towards. Instead, they truthfully admit that it's troubling that any number of private corporations up and down the stack can boot people and information off the net, and then segue off to a self-reflective, but inconclusive closing.

No new ground is blazed by this post. After all, those hosting content that they know has fallen afoul of contemporary sensibilities are still concerned, the people troubled by private corporations' control of the net stack have another example to add to their list, and the people who are most disturbed by the nature of the content banned in this instance are pleased this situation played out the way it did.

Some will invoke the slippery slope argument, and perhaps rightfully so. I'd argue from a pragmatic standpoint that mainstream views shift over time, so it's natural that some topics will become taboo, some views will become to be seen obsolete and even abhorrent, as history has shown. And absent government regulation (in all relevant jurisdictions), corporations will try to act in their own self-interest, trying to balance reassuring their own customer-base with satisfying wider public value-sets, while seeking to shed customers who may cause them a disproportionate amount of cost: monetary, reputational, or otherwise. Government regulation protects certain classes of people through various mechanisms, like those with disabilities, or certain, but not all intrinsic characteristics that have been commonly used in the past to discriminate. We, as societies, then overlay subjective judicial systems to try to reason whether corporations' behavior towards certain individuals was legal or illegal.

It's wasted effort to try to gauge, as outsiders, whether Cloudflare will enact a transparent process if any process they enact operates solely on the honor system. If it's checked by the legal system, then that's a different story. We're too early for that story.

It's not a false equivalence because I wasn't trying to compare the two. My entire point was that the illegal content, and stuff that we all know is bad, is still online- anyone can access it with a small amount of effort (or not), and even though big companies are already blocking it and refuse to host it the content is still readily available.

If we can't even get that content offline, the idea that cloudflare refusing to host this website means this website won't be able to find hosting is absolutely absurd.
Thank you for the kind words, really appreciate it :)
I was going for just the overview
How did that happen? Wasn't their pricing for viewer accounts from their website at $35/viewer/mth?
> They should update their TOS to remove the arbitrary clause about terminating for any reason, and replace it with a concrete list of behaviour which is against their terms, like perhaps hate speech, violent threats and harassment.

Companies make those clauses arbitrary for a purpose: that's so they don't get a bunch of amateur legal eagles who will attempt to argue forever about what they can and can not get away with. By purposefully leaving a gray area the company can draw the line by adjusting to fluid conditions when it suits them.

You can disagree with that but I totally understand why a company like Cloudflare would want to reserve some room for maneuvering: it is impossible to know what the future will throw at you.

"I would prefer that we entirely deligitimize the notion of 'terms of service' having any measure of enforceability or weight."

You're going to have to change copyright law, then, because one of the biggest things in any competent site's ToS is "You grant us unlimited, perpetual permission to modify/redistribute/host/etc. your content." Without that contractual agreement, most websites and forums and image hosting services could not exist as we know them today.
It sets the precedent that we collectively value having a society where we can expect standards of behavior to exceed the bare minimum that will keep you out of jail. Are you actually confusing rights and values?

>Open, civil, and logical debate of ideas is your recourse. If your ideas cannot win over the majority, maybe you (and possibly that society) deserve to lose

Why should anybody deserve to lose because they fall victim to the masses? How is that in any way justifiable? This is tyranny of the masses, nothing else.

And I would suggest to you that there are numerous countries on this planet that have not elevated free speech to the status of religion, yet guarantee civil rights for much longer than the United States do.

>To deny free speech is to oppress.

And how does this constitute an argument? We oppress the Marburg virus, why are we supposed to turn the other cheek when our society and our values are threatened by destructive forces?
Apparently I conflated toomuchtodo's posts with someone else that did call the suspect a murderer. The "violence intended to further a political goal by terrorizing a significant portion of the populace" is up for debate, but yeah, the murder in question is waaaay closer to that than it is to what toomuchtodo is saying.

edit: toomuchtodo's sibling comment is certainly relevant. Nuance is hard!
Sure, but that all starts with you claiming you have a right to the service to begin with. And that's the hard part to prove here, especially since Cloudflare fairly explicitly reserves the right not to do business with anybody they don't feel like serving.

> that doesn't mean a judge wouldn't put the monetary damages square on cloudflare

Section 10 (Termination) says "you expressly agree that in the case of a termination for cause you will not have any opportunity to cure." Sections 25 and 26 require arbitration under the AAA's rules and California law. I'd put the odds of remedy at close to nil. These (mandatory arbitration and contractually-agreed upon indemnification for termination of services) are well-set areas of law.

An attack on bitcoin is more like using subversive tactics and huge censorship on forums like /r/bitcoin to artificially limit the max block size and thus transaction throughput. Bitcoin Cash has already proven what everyone who has actually used bitcoin already knew: there is no technical limitation to have bigger blocks and more throughput. The cpu usage is trivial, the bandwidth is trivial.

A very good point. The anti-censorship narrative feels very similar to the right's denial (or at least it's willful ignorance) that white domestic terrorists are a thing in the US.

How is speech perpetrated by white supremacists to incite violence any different from that of foreign terrorist organizations?
Test in Production
I'm no lawyer, but I seem to recall that a contract that allows one side to unilaterally withdraw for unspecified reasons is not a real contract (the legal term is "illusory promise" or "illusory contract").

Cloudflare apparently has a legal team, so I have to assume they know whether their terms of service are actually an enforceable contract, but that provision sounds fishy to me.

While I agree Nazi is an reasonable label to apply to these guys, the way the word is thrown around these days makes this argument worrying to me personally. I have seen people called Nazis simply because they are pro life. Considering cloudflare allegedly hosts Islamic extremist content I really wonder where the line is.

"It's not in CloudFlare's philosophy to just take down sites because management doesn't agree with the content, Prince said. Some hosting companies exercise tight control about what can be served, but his firm doesn't want that kind of power."

So, in what world do you see a judge awarding damages to a Neo Nazi outfit that decided to sue a provider of an optional internet service for damages incurred because the internet service provider withdraw their service in explicit agreement with their terms of service?

Sure you can sue for that but I do not see any chance of winning such a suit, and I'm pretty sure that that Cloudflare would be more than happy to litigate their right to deny service.

There's dozens of CDNs to choose from

However, for most companies it's a wash which CDN to pick.

Unless you're serving media to a large audience the cost is
usually in the low triple digits. And unless you need to serve problematic regions (parts of Asia, Africa), there is barely a difference in performance between most of the contenders.

So what tips the scale for any one of the CDNs?

Well, after this move me and certainly others will definitely
consider Cloudflare more often than previously - out of sheer sympathy.

Hold up here.

Substantiate your claim, where does it come from, how do you quantify it?

On it's face you seem to be agreeing with the Nazis that he just 'accidentally' gained ramming speed into the demonstrators his group was attacking earlier.

You wouldn't be doing that would you?
You yourself have called it a position of hatred and spontaneous and fatal violence. A spontaneous violence that is unrepentant upon it's exposure, that claims it has to kill to make it's point and that those who stand against it deserve killing.

And not even the cold, calculated murder of widespread cultural warfare which you yourself demand we awknowledged uniquely. It's the unstable and white hot murder of people so indignant at the existence of opposition that one spontaneously murdered one and injured over a dozen more as his fellows cheered him on.

This is all what you've agreed they are. And it sums up to a picture of danger. I think you understand them quite well.
Wow. Sometimes it feels like the internet is a very small place.
> That's a pretty serious character attack and insinuation of misbehavior.

I guess this is the point where you play the victim. Anyone familiar with Theymos and Luke-Jr. knows that Theymos engages in excessive censorship of /r/bitcoin and every other forum he controls.

Luke-Jr. has openly said he believes the sun revolves around the earth and has proposed that max block sizes actually be REDUCED to be only 300KB, which is of course ridiculous for any number of reasons.
