Eh, no. The Streisand effect applies to getting attention to something that wouldn't have otherwise, and gaining momentum because of it.

This is about providing a platform to someone who willfully spreads lies.

There has been research into the effects of Reddit clamping down on hate speech a few years ago. Guess what: not giving assholes a platform actually works. It's still a cesspool but less so than it used to be.

I've seen Infowars regularly mocked in mainstream comedy TV shows. Shining light on Infowars misinformation / ill intent is probably a good thing.

Adding barriers to passive consumption, by vulnerable (misinformed) people, is probably also a good thing. It's not being censored/outlawed, just made slightly less convenient to access. Fake news are a threat to democracy.
If the alternative is fighting a war, there's a good case to be made for managed transition.

As an Austinite (well now Iowan) who grew up with plenty of Alex Jones on the airwaves, it's stuff like this I'll actually-in a morbid kind of way-really miss. I suppose you have to be exposed to it long enough to grow numb to it but Alex Jones became a source of entertainment as I grew older just to see what wackiness he'd come up with next. Gay frogs still manages to put a grin on my face even on my most stressful days.

It was almost a contest between he and the considerably less inflammatory but still uniquely weird John Aielli.

This isn't, nor should be read as a defense of Alex Jones by any sane person-but an acknowledgement of the absurd. I mean come on. Gay frogs? You gotta admit--it's chuckleworthy.
This will work but then you have to find a system to test on, I like to have my dev vm as close to production as possible.
I worked for a company, which had insiders at Google steal various data to improve their SEO. I don't know the details, but I think it may have involved some cute girls. I built systems to work with the stolen data to improve their SEO. They are one of the most popular websites on the internet.
AMD's overall marketshare is still low because of near-zero laptop or OEM penetration but their share of retail CPU sales (i.e. the only people that buy motherboards) is nearly 50% according to every recent sales report I've seen.

No, this is for combining a local area's retail stores' inventory into a unified shopping interface, and a courier service for seamless delivery (e.g. so you don't have to visit stores x, y, z to complete pickup of a single order with items from disparate stores). Not individuals hawking their used junk.
FWIW, I think the standard narrative is that knowledge of the great Greek and Roman works was lost in Europe as a result of the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the immense reduction in civilizational complexity that it entailed, not as a result of Muslim conquest.
This is purely a political move. The liberals in the US don't want to lose again, so they are censoring the opposition.

Instead of censoring, how about coming up with a candidate that actually has some substance instead of !trump??

There are plenty of offensive and overdramatic left-leaning podcasts that aren't censored or removed from any platform.

This is what tells me that it has nothing to really do with helping anyone and based on pure hatred for anyone that has an opposing opinion.

This is what's dividing our country.
This article is a masterpiece of misdirection. It says it's top highlight is "We believe facial recognition technology is the most uniquely dangerous surveillance mechanism ever invented." And then they wave their fear hands around non-facial recognition technologies and discuss their real fear: feature creep of surveillance technologies.

The article is a masterpiece of misdirection because we are very aware that the written word in the form of explainer articles for the uninformed IS ACTUALLY THE PERFECT TOOL FOR OPPRESSION. Unless you're one of the emotionally manipulated, you realize we live in a new age where the ignorant and intellectually lazy are "farmed and harvested" for their ignorant votes, to control the laws and economies of entire nation states. This article is one such ignorance embedding article putting fear into people's heads so they can be controlled.
I'd download that.
Got a link, I'd (genuinely) like to see this research!
The sanitized version prevents people from comprehending the scope of the horror and abuse, bequeaths an air of normalcy, and leads to simplistic conclusions in modern generations.

At every given point minorities have faced huge resistance for the simplest of things and basic human equality and dignity - and I suspect every adult educated citizen knows this - and the effects of these continue to fester. It's not 'complexity' if you historically discriminate against people they will suffer and there will be far reaching multi generational consequences. This can't be wished away in denial, how can a problem remain unsolved after 200 years?

We hold others coming out of hundreds of years of colonialism to standards we often to do adhere to ourselves and which these societies lacking development, wealth and time have not had an opportunity to develop.

This becomes another way to not shine the torch on ourselves. Redlining, housing policies, access to education, employment, credit, segregated living and education and the police & justice system will not pass scrutiny. And this has so far escaped global attention and censure but at some point the USA as a whole will be held to account for the condition of the minorities. And at that point the depravity of Pioneer and Volker funded studies by people like Charles Murray - whose work continues to be used even on an educated forums like this regularly, revisionist history and blaming others will not hold because we do not accept these excuses from other countries we hold to account.
[I agree.]

I'm too lazy to try the calculations now, but if the nearest black hole is 2800 ly away, I guess the size of lens to resolve a dinosaur have to be much bigger than the solar system. Probably a few light-year [calculation needed]. Does the lens reach Proxima Centaury? Does the lens collapse and form another black hole?

Also, the black holes are big, but they are more far away than big, so the angular size of the area that does some interesting lens effect is very small. Then even if you have a giant lens and collect all the light that the black hole has blended (more than 90° or something), you will get a extremely dim image. But photons are discrete, and visible photons have a minimal energy, so the image will be composed of a very small amount of dots, and not something smooth where you can see anything.
They must have the nicest automatic 3D icon generator out there....
I totally disagree. I am sure cutting these dangerous people from the mainstream website will slowly kill them.
Do you really think that this action is going to bring more attention to Infowars? I really doubt whether the Streisand Effect is a factor here. Anyone who didn't know what Infowars is already won't be interested in this news.
Thank you everyone for the downvotes and the really great summaries and discussion. Much more entertaining than a he-said she-said!
This sounds kind of like OPML export, and taking your RSS feeds with you when you go to another feed reader.

Is that a meaningful analogy?

Calendar Event Time Zones
Visionary, Discipline, Reflection, Release

VISIONARY

I don't care what random people think of me, I know what my dreams and aspirations are. I intend on getting there regardless if people support me or not. I've been told I couldn't do it many times in my life and that motivates me even further.

DISCIPLINE

Working out almost everyday forces me to be productive. Motivation is weak and short-sighted, you need discipline. Discipline in building a passion that you actually care about. This also means getting something done everyday. I keep a daily log and sum of my weekly snapshots of things I achieved that week.

I have two military-like disciplinary habits I never ever let go - this is daily journalling (mental) and workout out (physical). These two disciplines alone drive every other discipline I've reinforced, including time management, staying on track, keeping up with friends, etc. The moment I let these 2 habits go is the moment I start losing sight of what matters.

REFLECTION

You need to reflect on things you've achieved, it builds a sense of reward for the work you put in. This means sharing knowledge, sharing projects, sharing things you've done only after the fact with others. Whenever I get lost, I look back in my life and realize I've done way harder things that pushes me to move forward.

RELEASE

Write down what's holding you back. I'm impatient & stubborn, sometimes I get really annoyed at incompetent vendors and time-draining clients. I just let it all out in my daily journalling and sometimes I'll just write things on a piece of paper over and over again and then shred it to pieces.

Also, when I daily journal, I write exactly what technical challenges I face everyday. Then I write what 1-3 things I hope to achieve that day, usually its intuitive, I usually come up with it the same day.

When I get stuck I just write my thoughts down in journal form so I can analyze the situation a bit better.
Lots of people don’t know where Barbara Streisand lives (despite the Streisand effect, I don’t). It would have to be a pretty deep cave you live in to not have heard of Alex Jones, especially if you stand any chance of enjoying his show.
The article notes that many of them have apartments. It sounds like they are already paying.

you should never base your decision on something published on the web site. you should rather base your decision on review of open source code, and on-device key management.

right?

I don't think the Streisand effect applies in this case. The site has repeatedly broken the terms of usage of all of these platforms. The ban should therefore appear reasonable to people.

The Streisand effect applies when the attempt is to hide or censor information for no reason other than hiding information.
What was your experience like in Consulting?
Alex Jones Hit with Bans from Facebook and Apple
Yup. Circa 2000 I remember talking with one of those entrepreneurs about joining. He was so sure that being able to comment on everything was a the next step forward in the web. At the time I found the idea both intriguing and suspicious, but the guy, a former surgeon, was such an obvious pain in the ass to work with that it ended for me there.

In retrospect, I recognize it as part of a common genre: grand ideas that are necessary only in theory, not in practice. It's easy enough to add commenting to any web page if the owner wants. It's easy enough to discuss any web page elsewhere, like here. And the grand idea treats good discussion as equivalent to global randos posting comments, which is demonstrably false. Real discussions are gardens that require careful tending.

My first defense now against grand ideas is, "That sounds cool, but who needs it enough to pay regularly for it? And why would this be better for that person than whatever they're doing now?" It turns out that many grand ideas only make sense from a 40,000-foot perspective; if you look at it from the point of view of somebody on the ground, it's obviously just a fuzzy cloud.

Ask HN: What do you use for data labeling?
Hey HN,

We've invested some effort into building up our own set of data labelers for some AI/ML projects of ours. Now that we have this "task force" we are looking to see how we might provide them employment opportunities by doing similar work for others. Having looked at, and decided against, mechanical turk and some other services, we know that getting data labeled accurately, cheaply, and well is a tough call. What do those among you who get data labeled on a regular basis use? And would you be willing to try another service? Thanks!
Could you link if you have it? I'm genuinely curious.

I'm also suspicious -- what stops the aforementioned individuals from finding another website/forum? I seem to remember hearing that after Reddit closed down several of the more unsavory/flat-out-awful subreddits, a large contingent of those users moved to another site (can't remember which though).

FWIW, I support clamping down on hate speech, but only if it's accompanied by some form of education (otherwise, you're just hiding the problem).
Very cool. Don't have a broken Kindle, so I decided to make a Chrome new tab extension to display these!

Car lease dubai services with best experience. why car lease better than buy car
Alex Jones is a fruitcake, but I don't like this as a general trend. Effectively, once things aren't available on the main marketplace, they don't exist anymore for most people. RSS is still kind of a thing for podcasts, but everything wants to use either iTunes or Soundcloud etc. iTunes is so bad on Windows that I want to rip my hair out...
I think they just wanted all of the data.
I like how "Self writing software" is very soon and only medium impact. Once we have self writing software, everything else on the grid comes for free! Step one would be to automatically write a better automatic software writer.

I'm most worried about Spotify, who already plays kingmaker for upcoming artists. They could use Twitter-like 'shadowban' techniques take punitive measures against 'bad' music artists. Because isn't there a lot of music that plausibly contains 'hate speech' or 'incitements of violence'?

Not saying they will, because they haven't indicated that yet, but they are working with the extremist SPLC to craft a policy around 'hate' content and 'hateful' content (the latter to presumably include content that isn't hate content but could be misconstrued as hate content, perhaps?).

It's very difficult to find reliable sources on this. It seems everybody is just parroting whatever they currently believe. How can I find an authority on this subject?
No it's not. Dangerous people shouldn't be allowed platforms. You have to make it harder and harder for them to get a following.

How many of them accuse the victims of mass shootings of being false flag actors?
Machine learning has been around with no success from an industrial point of view until very recently. Until fairly recently, nobody cared and few understood big O notation.

Recent prog languages have added syntax to avoid issues such as "off by on error" (generator etc...), TDD is slowly becoming a standard everywhere. The next step to improve quality in software is formal verification IMO. There is quite a bit of research in that domain and even some academic program languages integrating it within their syntax.
I'm sure they exist but could you name some civil rights movements that did not feature violence from one or both sides?

Your point seems to be that "all things end" but that's true of anything. It took hundreds of years and massive two world wars for Britain to be weak enough to give up its self image of being an empire and emancipate its other colonies.

Edit: Answered my own question, to some extent. Relative to even recent human history, gay marriage has gotten along pretty well. Not bloodlessly but nothing like the 1960's lynching of rights workers.
Heyoo HN. Finished this side project of mine during the weekend.
Read more about it on GitHub: https://github.com/Hemmingsson/dancemusic.wtf

Let me know if you have any feedback!
First off, I have never listened to or read any of Infowars material, my knowledge is from what is reported. When the censoring is not meted out equally is when I get worried. I noticed in more than one article that they labeled specific groups you cannot say anything derogatory about but left it open that other groups may not be protected.

There should be no group selection, it should be all or nothing. We also need to be damn careful of the recent attempt to brand speech some groups do not agree with as "weaponizing speech" which seems to be a new means to get the government to step in. With hate speech the government is still very limited on First Amendment grounds however by branding some speech as "weaponized" it implies violence and that does not have the same protection.

Frankly I don't mind the haters being out there, at least then I know who they are. Let them post, let them march, because in public venues we can at least assess when they are truly dangerous or not.

tl;dr censoring is fine when applied equally, be wary of anyone trying to change how speech is labeled as a means to get the government to do their censoring for them
I always wonder when I hear this sort of thing if the person saying it is just super hard on themselves
Don't forget to figure out where they go to eat, where they work, where their lover(s) lives, where their children go school, where they go shopping, where they get a haircut, and whether they jaywalk. All for the last 12 months. I'm sure we can find something in there to persecute them for.

Theoretically, you could store information in the spin state of every electron in an atom. For gold, for example, that would yield 79 bits per atom.
If social media platforms have devolved into only cat memes and sponsored clothing shoots, that's pretty disappointing for the human race. While crackpots like Alex Jones are objectionable to all people of sense, I don't trust Facebook/Twitter/Et Al to act as arbitrators of free speech.
So my experience with an e-reader has varied over the years and I had essentially abandoned the idea of an e-reader over the past 5 years. However, I have been in NYC for this summer and riding the subway everyday so I eventually dusted off my Kindle and have loved it! I still think that you are right that a physical book provides a better experience, but the ability to pull out a book hold it in one hand, highlight passages I like, and take notes has been amazing. Not only that but I have enjoyed the fact that once I finish a book I just download a new one and don't have to wait for Amazon or find a bookstore(not that it is difficult to find a bookstore in NYC though). I do believe from my anecdotal survey as well that more people have physical books, but that does not mean that the kindles are nonexistent either I have seen several people with them as well. In reality it is probably closer to 60/40 because the vast majority of people I see on the subway are playing smartphone games or watching Netflix.
I think it's the price for eBooks. A good example is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

Kindle - $15

Paperback (new) - $10

Paperback (used) - $6

Paperback (library) - Free

The Kindle version is a significant premium and I don't think there is a matching convenience factor. It's unfortunate that is the case because I'm sure it'd be a lot more eco-friendly and efficient to distribute ebooks.
Many sites have a dedicated section in the user profile for links and it doesn't really make much sense to not fill that space and instead force users to perform one more click. If, however, it was possible to register somewhere, add a ziplink URL and have the site retrieve all the bundled links and add them to the profile, maybe even with some redirection to still make use of the analytics, then it could be really useful.
> I suppose you have to be exposed to it long enough to grow numb to it

That's why most of us consider Alex Jones to be a joke, but the reason Apple and Spotify are making this move is because many people, exposed long enough to Alex Jones, start to believe what Alex Jones has to say.
It’s disturbing to see so many people give up the first amendment because hey it’s just private companies, they can do whatever they want.

Speed limits are a bad example. Unless you've got Orwellian enforcement most people go however fast they feel is reasonable for the conditions (which just so happens to usually not be that much more than the speed limit) and enforcement is basically a lottery with a large negative reward.

I agree with your point though.
At first I agreed with you but taking the quiz I admit the title didn't really influence how I already felt about AWS icons. At least I remember AWS' service names like Firehose and Kinesis; GCP's are hard to remember when they don't use mnemonic devices for most of their products.
did i miss something or does this article COMPLETELY ignore the amazing possibility for abuse this opens up?

Now any a-hole can make a public link in your page (or whatever future form that takes)? Nah, no way _that_ could go wrong. The word "abuse" appears literally zero times in the 200 page pdf.

Indeed. It's long been rather clear that giving crackpots a platform is very different from shining a spotlight on their crackpottery, and the last decade or so have confirmed it even further, platforming crackpots and handing them ways to reach a wider audience is a net detriment to society.
The question is: will Apple apply the same rules to equally hate mongering shows on the far left wing. I don’t think so. This is less about censorship and more about Apple making its own political statement of what it believes is “right”.

Switches with high actuation point will have inherently lower latency (measured from the start of the keypress). Check deskthority wiki for the numbers, they should have most mainstream switches listed.

Benchmarking the time from switch activation to the computer being aware of the input should be doable (i.e. ignoring display latency and most of the software stack), alas no tech reviewers I know of do it. So no easy way for a consumer to compare products. IIRC someone measured the Wooting One to have ~4ms of latency. It does have a switch with adjustable actuation point (not so useful if you get the clicky version, since you cant adjust the tactile bump and click).

Edit: By high actuation point I mean farther from the board, it's usually specified from the start of the key travel, so lower numbers.
