i gues, what you mean is that the address bus is 64bits wide...
Sure you can, no one even implied otherwise.

The only thing I said was that the term you are talking about most probably does not inspire the loathing it should (and once did) after all the crying-the-wolf. And considering that, I tried to hint that maybe in the future it might be sensible to take this effect into account before going down the same rabbit hole again.

Possible reasons (I'm also with Fastmail and it makes me uncomfortable):

- Fastmail can immediately cancel your account for any reason: "The Service Provider may terminate your access to any part or all of the Service and any related service(s) at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, for any reason whatsoever, with or without providing any refund of any payments."

- Fastmail can disclose your info/data if it thinks it's in the interest of the company: "The Service Provider will not monitor, edit, or disclose any personal information about you [...] unless required or allowed by law, or where the Service Provider has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: [...] (2) protect and defend the rights or property of the Service Provider; [...] (4) act to protect the interests of its members or others [...]

By comparison, mailbox.org TOS are much better.

Also mailbox.org offers GPG encryption, which Fastmail doesn't (AFAIK).

Libertarian nerds.

You see this a lot in engineering circles. Too much hope, idealism and theory, not enough real-world socialization.

We have to identify and solve the problem of libertarianism wherever it pops up. There's something wrong with these unsocialized libertarians. The result is Nazi marches.

In the company blog post[0] one can read: "The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology."

If this is true, then I agree with the takedown, because the Daily Stormer crossed the content neutral line first. But in this interview, the CEO says something totally different. This is what annoys me, because this is breaking the trust I have in CloudFlare.

I fear a non-violent Nazi about as much as I fear a toothless wolf.

Once you tolerate the "non-violent" Nazi, the violent ones won't be far behind. Nazism has proven that it cannot be tolerated, period. Not a little bit here and there. Not for a short time while we try to reason with them. Not anywhere, not ever, not in any way. If an amendment to the US Constitution came up to exempt Nazis from first-amendment protection I'd be for it in a heartbeat, because there is no longer any need to be hemming and hawing and talking about how on principle we need to let them have their little march and their website and... no. There is no such thing as a "safe" amount of Nazism.
"White Supremacist Violence..."

Obviously by definition. But this just begs the more important question:

Does ACLU still believe speech by white supremacists should be permitted?

I'm using Facebook to earn my "fuck you money".

The advertising tools are so powerful it is downright scary, the level of targeting one can do using it is just insane.

That's partly the reason why I stopped posting updates. After seeing the depth of the advertising tools.

I don't use Facebook for posting personal updates anymore but only to fuel my business. I realise that the only way I can "choose" to stay out of all these services that track and sell our identity to advertisers is if I have "fuck you money" (money is the currency you exchange for your limited time in order to survive in this world).
Not all that different from the 18th century "claque," when theater owners or playwrights would pay groups to attend their performances and applaud loudly. A variant was paying a group to boo and hiss a rival production.

Woman Banned from US After Border Agent Finds Proof of Drug Use on Phone
Dear CloudFlare, Hi mr prince i know you read this.

Could you please apply the same policy to malicious sites that are you are proxying which you never bother to take down because of 'insert poor reasons here'? I think thats worse then to see or read an opinion i don't agree with, regardless of how explicit that opinion is or how badly i disagree. People should be able to say what they want where they want and not only when the largest part of the population/media agrees.

The limit lies at VIOLENCE. There never is a reason to enforce or show your opinion through means of violence. Ever.

I don't think Fastmail is very clear on their privacy policy (see also my other answer below).

Here is an extract from Fastmail TOS:

Fastmail can disclose your info/data if it thinks it's in the interest of the company: "The Service Provider will not monitor, edit, or disclose any personal information about you [...] unless required or allowed by law, or where the Service Provider has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: [...] (2) protect and defend the rights or property of the Service Provider; [...] (4) act to protect the interests of its members or others [...]
> Will management be able to explain to the rest of the employees why this person gets 10x their compensation?

That's a major part of why I consider open salaries to be a terrible idea for top performers. Performance and popularity are frequently uncorrelated, and I'm not talking about the asshole genius trope. You don't want to force your best performers into allocating lots of time schmoozing to ensure everyone loves them and isn't offended by their higher pay.

Almost nobody thinks they're below average in performance, but mathematically some people have to make less than average.
Hello? Leftists & their funders have been doing this for YEARS. Putting ads in Craigslist, paying people to protest and bussing them to cities to manufacture crowds and civil unrest. It's well documented.
In the end, if a restaurant sucks it won't matter much who they paid to stand in line. Word will get out. But doing that for $5.00? Wow! I can get a job on the street corner twirling one of those signs advertising mattress sales that pays several times that. Pretty low self esteem to grab that kind of gig.
> But, I'm on team antifa in Charlottesville. I sure as hell don't want to be on the side of the Nazis who murdered someone.

Which is a thinly-veiled ad homimen directed at me.

The truth is that in my experience, the authoritarian left (antifa included) have engaged in violent suppression of speech they find distasteful. As a result, I believe that they are amoral cultists.
It's pathetic if you base your dining decision on a line outside. I would never stand in line so I dine only at restaurants that accept reservations or call ahead to see if there is a wait. This app is for goofy hipsters who have zero gravitas and don't know it.

Paying people to pretend to like your business is PATHETIC!
That sounds a lot like how many sitcoms use a laugh track. I remember when I was young and naive, I thought "that can't possibly be funny. He only answered the bloody door", thinking it was real people.

I now know that laughter stimulates laughter so it kinda makes sense. You can make a show funnier by pretending an audience is laughing.

In this sense, a queue out of the door shows high demand. Generally, people want things in high demand.

Would people want to wear diamonds if they were as cheap as glass and the price reflected that?
Indeed it has; even the OED recognises this sense:

"c. colloq. Used to indicate that some (frequently conventional) metaphorical or hyperbolical expression is to be taken in the strongest admissible sense: ‘virtually, as good as’; (also) ‘completely, utterly, absolutely’.

Now one of the most common uses, although often considered irregular in standard English since it reverses the original sense of literally (‘not figuratively or metaphorically’)."

The earliest example given, incidentally, is from way back in 1769.
But surely you can perceive a difference between MLB, which developed in-house tech that gave them a competitive advantage versus other sports groups and enabled them to build a successful business providing that service to other companies, and the ones that buy in that tech. MLBs investment put them years ahead of their competition in that area.

How did that work out at the G20 protests?
For those making the "public company it's their right" argument, it's worth considering what that logic might imply.

Does it mean food stores could deny selling you food, based on your associations/affiliations? Airlines deny you travel? Cell phone companies, deny you a phone?

I think the reason we're seeing backlash here is that the internet is largely perceived as a utility now (I believe utility companies cannot deny service at will).

Secondly, more than once is US history have those attempting to be virtuous gone too far (e.g. McCarthyism). Surely it will happen again. When that day comes, will it be better if we err to the side of too dismissive or too open-minded?
> How hard would it have been to say "Sorry, that's not how DNS works" when some random person on Twitter said "You're supporting a white supremacist! Undo it!"?

I don't understand? Are you saying that lying would have been morally superior? Because, as we've just seen, that's exactly how DNS works.

As for the other legal consequences, I don't see how this changes anything. Did anybody ever doubt Cloudflare's technical ability to stop serving individual sites?

I also don't see how consistency can be an argument in any such case: Being consistently wrong doesn't seem like a strong excuse for being wrong.

I feel you're also operating from a view of the court system that is vastly more cynical than the courts deserve. This is, unfortunately, a point that I cannot adequately put into words. But if you ever have the time, maybe find some decision that interests you (or, actually, pick anything at random) and read the decision, or maybe watch the oral arguments. I often read both the majority and the dissenting opinion of cases, and come away agreeing with both of them! That should be impossible because they contradict each other, but even opinions I disagree with often have an undeniably forceful argument.

(I just thought of a good example, which is a transcript from the Waymo vs Uber lawsuit. You may be surprised to see the forceful stand the judge takes to make the proceedings open to the general public. Quote:

if you want all this stuff to be so secret,
you should be in arbitration. You shouldn't be
trying to do this in court and constantly [insisting
on closed procedures].

The public has a right to see what we do.
And I feel that so strongly. I am not --

or these two big companies. We belong to the public.

With regard to your expectation of HN's opinion: I believe you're mostly just underestimating how dramatic many people consider the current political situation to be. This is somewhat beyond the usual partisan divide, as can be seen by the almost unanimous decision by CEOs (generally not suspected to secretly harbour leftwing believes) to quit their advisory roles, by the increasing willingness of republicans in congress to criticise their president, or even in the Fox News moderator's spontaneous reaction to Trump's press conference, calling it "disgusting" and "surreal".
> I'm afraid I don't follow your suggestion that triggering SSD GC could somehow result in some other attack.

I was thinking more of the wear-leveling of the NAND cells. (Sibling comment from wtallis points out that the entire technology is being phased out so that's pretty much covered then.)

What I had in mind was a write-spray to identifiable locations. Wear-leveling cycles cells out from active to inactive, and from inactive back to active. If you could prepare a whole bunch of cells with suitable patterns, AND had a way to get occasional cells cycled in uninitialised - then having predictable control over "where"[ß] a cell is cycled back in could allow to target the reads and writes to perform the attack.

We don't need control over which cells are cycled in if majority of incoming cells already have our data on them from their previous active incarnation.

ß: There is indirection above the physical cells and their addressing. I just don't know how many layers.
> Our hypothesis is that by adding bounties to the equation, the quality + speed of the answers you receive will increase due to competition for the bounty.

Well, either that or maybe the opposite. When there's a financial incentive people will respond to as many questions as possible just out of hope that they'll be awarded for any of the answers. If that happens then that will kill the quality of the answers. Good answers take time to research or require knowledge that only a minority of people have for any specific question. Spewing out garbage answers takes no time and no skill so it's more likely that more people will be doing that.
Two party political systems almost always eventually lead to extreme polarization. There's been multiple studies showing this. Once polarization happens, the center quickly fades and fringes collect more and more of the populace. You're seeing the end stages of this trend now.

Before leaping to firing that person, you'd want to talk to them and explain that the misbehaviour has to stop. There may be personal reasons, and the person may need support to change. But if the behaviour doesn't shift then yes, dismissal is absolutely appropriate. The demoralisation stemming from a misbehaver who is protected from on high can be huge.

Great performance does not require being an asshat. It's (nearly?) always possible to find an equivalent performer who's pleasant to be around and a constructive team member.
The point is I guess humans can only do so much, and the question now with a DAO is:
Can we create Code/Algorithm than can align more people, "better" than a human manager could do?

Even if code only allows for "better" cooperation in some narrow dimensions, if these are important to the participants, this system will win.

DAOs are about scaling human collaboration.

It's not completely AI, but a way to understand ourselves in great masses better than we are able to to by ourselves.

Facebook has been slowly making messenger worse though. They have added the stupid status updates which nobody in my circle uses. Before I knew that when I got to messenger I would only have conversations, now I dread that they will slowly transform it into yet another "platform".

It would be a right move for them probably, going mobile first like WeChat did in China, still it is probably the only "messaging only" platform which people around me use.
It is worrisome that you are not horrified by what you just said. YOUR view of what is and isn't "inherently violent" is your rule? What of people who view this differently?

You DO know that the Nazi party of Germany was democratically elected right? It did plenty of good for plenty of innocent people who simply lived in Germany at the time.

Also, you know, by your logic almost ANY flag shouldn't be waved. All countries have been to horrible wars and killed aplenty.
You're free to let Ars' editing of the interview determine your trust level for CloudFlare. Ars used to be a Bastion of Truth, but slowly after the acquisition by Condé Nast, a bias started to appear. And then it started growing.

My take on this is the idea that any tolerance of free speech by extremists goes completely against Ars' bias. And that's why they didn't print the passage you highlight, despite Ars linking to that exact blog post.

I can see both being true; the decision to terminate based on the Stormer saying that CF and Prince supported them and Prince saying the decision was arbitrary. They pissed him off and he exercised his right to refuse service to anyone. Pissed off = arbitrary.

Safe spaces and diversity are diametrical to due process and tolerance. You're assumed guilty and treated as lesser if "privileged", which means white, male or both.
No, the alternative is Germany: a wide range of viewpoints are allowed, but actual Nazism isn't, because last time it was allowed millions died.

Not everything is an excluded middle, a bi-directional slippery slope that has to end up at one extreme or the other.
It would be relatively straight-forward (technically anyway) to make a regular business around matching up consumers willing to pay and others with hard drive space willing to host for money.

But the benefit of a trustless decentralized system is that it can run without depending on a company. Once it's going, you as a user don't have to worry about the company going out of business, making changes to try to squeeze profit out, or getting bought out by a company who doesn't care about keeping the system running. You don't have to worry that it will get censored: you don't have to worry the company may decide they don't like content with nudity being hosted through it, that the company decides content has to all be reviewed for copyright infringement, that the company gets pressured legally to not do business with your country, that the company closes its APIs and cuts off your business built around helping others use the system in specific ways, etc. A system completely fragile to the whims of a single company can never become a standard like HTTP.

(Though obviously right now the company is pretty central as the system doesn't exist yet. They're necessary to get it developed, make the tooling, do marketing to get the initial users in, and throw man-hours at making sure the system is good. Maybe they'll code in a small fee that goes toward themselves and people will accept it. Once the system is working in a fully decentralized way, people could choose to move to a fork that disables the fee if people thought the company was taking too much or was pushing for bad changes.)
