It doesn't have to be direct manipulation, and it doesn't have to further a government agency's goals. It could be a voluntary self-interested act by SpiderOak, and they should still have trust removed.
This is actually worse for proof-of-work chains, though. The cost of a 50% attack on most cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin!) is much less than half the market cap. The main thing which keeps such attacks from happening is that they are hard enough to profit from (it's quite hard to double-spend enough) while being expensive enough to that such an attack is a very risky and almost certainly unprofitable endeavour.

And why "Amazon" EC2 but "AWS" Lambda? It throws me off every time I look at an alphabetically sorted list of the services. Granted, Microsoft slaps "Azure" in front of some of their services, but Amazon seems to optimise for having "AWS" and "Amazon" mentioned together as many times as possible, as if we need to be reminded.

Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or sanction. - Wikipedia
As far as I know, no European country has the equivalent of the first amendment. Speech is heavily restricted in some countries.

Yes, although among my circles of MoviePass-using friends, many had been paying over $20/month recently with various MoviePass upcharges. And MoviePass also still doesn't allow movies that haven't been in the theatres for at least two weeks, no formats other than standard, and annoying $4 surge charges for some showings.

Where do you live that the average cost of a movie ticket is only $9? I’ve seen tickets fully twice that expensive at AMCs in San Francisco.
Wow, being pro censorship is mainstream now?
Isn't the same true of movies?

(On the other hand, I'm pretty sure more people skip going to the gym than skip going to a movie!)
The first stage is significantly larger and therefore more expensive than the second.

My guess is the first full-reuse rocket you'll see will be the SSTO BFR.
FTA: “up to a $5.00 discount for any additional movie tickets.”

That's not the same as $5/ticket.

I read it the same way
glenda was only pointing out how free speech is misunderstood; stating fact rather than what they do or don't support.
I have a kindle. I love it. As a san francisco resident, library support for e-readers means I have a queue of books I've flagged as want-to-read that pop up frequently. Two clicks later - they're on my kindle for free (well - my tax dollars well spent, let's say). I also have old books I've bought on amazon and elsewhere (using calibre software to convert other formats, and there exists drm-removal software if you're worried about losing access to the kindle book).

In short: I usually walk around with my current two or three books that I'm reading, plus several dozen Comfort Books that I could re-read for the Nth time if the mood strikes me, in a very convenient form-factor that doesn't need light.

On the other hand (as other people have said), I read complicated PDFs (usually role-playing game supplements), Comics, and technical books on a phone / laptop / tablet, depending on what's handy. In those cases it's not about the ergonomics of long-term reading, it's about having a responsive color screen.

There's a famous story about early UI fail in some CAD software.

Icons had just come into vogue (yes, there was a time before icons). The CAD system in question used a puck on a big mat to choose functions from a grid of names, which were labels like GRAPH and CONNECT and DEL and so forth. But all-caps names weren't very sexy, so the company decided to replace them with more intuitive icons, cool little pictures of the operations. Getting rid of the tiresome and uncool simple text labels was going to win back market share!

Predictably, users complained that they had a hell of a time trying to figure out which of the tiny, intuitive pictures corresponded to the concrete operations.

The company's response? Supply users with a printed cheat sheet that let them find the icon for each operation. To do a CONNECT, you'd look at the cheat sheet and find the corresponding essentially arbitrary (but intuitive!) squiggle, then search for the intuitive squiggle in a sea of other intuitive squiggles. ("No, not that one!")

Electron over wxPython
I am currently working on an desktop app for segmentation-free handwritten text recognition. It should assist humanists with transcribing historical documents.
One requirement of the project is that the application should be a desktop application. Because the backend is written in Python I thought about using wxPython but another requirement is the integration in online platforms which only allow web applications.
As I am the only person allocated to this project maintaining two separate code bases (one for the desktop app and one for the web app) seems like a lot of effort. I am not the biggest fan of Electron, but due to the limited ressources I thought about using it on this specific project.
Do you think a single code base justifies the possible performance overhead?
Thank you for your answers!
If you send Alex Jones a submission on how great Hillary Clinton is, do you think it’ll get posted on infowars? No Does that mean Alex Jones is limiting your free speech’s by denying you access to his platform?

You can argue that Facebook, Apple and twitter are bigger platforms, but the principal is really the same.

Free speech is the right to say what you want, the way you want it, without being procecuted by the government or murdered by a violent mob.

Free speech is not the right to be heard.

I see the problem of the idea of huge media platforms banning content, but only as an idea. Alex Jones is a hate mongering asshole, that while entertaining, is also dangerous. When infowars ran a piece on the Sandy Hook tradegy, labeling it as a false flag and the victims as actors, some of those parents who lost their children received death threats. Some of those parents are still in hiding today, thanks to infowars and their insane audience.

I don’t think the free world, or free speech, suffered anything from this asshole being banned from iTunes.

> The Magna Carta is literally an agreement among the ruling class.

Not in the way you're thinking. This is at the time when the King had absolute or near absolute authority. King John was the ruling class. While it was the English nobility that opposed the king, they did so (1) at great risk to their own safety, and (2) as the only ones in a position to do so. Certainly no serf could have accomplished this -- they would have been killed.

Second sentence of the (excellent) Wikipedia article about it:

> First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons.

There's a lot of hurdles involved with actually using the service -- many movies are explicitly unavailable, eligible screenings of available movies are very limited (only two showings per movie for the entire day this weekend for me, only between 4-7pm), and the main hassle of not being able to buy multiple seats at once or in advance.

This is a bit of a myth.

Yes, there was a mandate for everything to be SOA. However, AWS built almost every service from scratch. For example, S3 and EC2 were NOT used for production in Amazon until well after launch (it was a huge migration when the company did it years later).

My team built a world class transcoding service for video and were surprised to find later that AWS had built it's own (much less good) transcoding service. As part of that we also built a 5-10x optimization to multi-part fully-encrypted S3 uploads with a user-friendly client and the response from the S3 team was a shrug, they just weren't interested.

It is actually really common at Amazon for five teams to be building almost the same thing. Some of it is on purpose as a sort of insurance policy or bake-off.

But almost every AWS service was built in the AWS org, even if there was something similar in place at Amazon, at least when I was there (2006-2015).

Don’t Make Me Think: 20 Wise Thoughts about Usability from Steve Krug
I'm glad you find it hilarious. Does MoviePass have competition? If not, then of course I have no better alternative since they're the only ones in this space.

Better alternatives to what I laid out? Sure, restrict to, say, three devices so if I forget my main phone, I can use my work phone, or I can let my wife go see a movie from time to time, etc.

Feel free to pick everything apart, I'm simply speaking in terms of a subscription service being reasonable for usability. This is why it's always been horrible. And keep in mind, I paid for a one year contract at $30/mo for it, so it's not exactly armchair criticism.

Help me create a field of human programming that's informed by computer science? Below is a simplified description of some ideas informing what I do. These days I'm more focused on language and behaviors in myself and primary relationship in preparation for our first child, so it'd be nice if someone else started working on the theoretical stuff. I'm also down for informally experimenting with things anyone comes up with from this.

Here's the basis:

Start with a category theoretical model connecting neuroanatomy and thought (MENS, category theory and the hippocampus). Combine with the concepts of universal embedding and fully abstract languages. Replace computers in the previous sentence with computational model of human; I'm playing with modified versions of differentiable neural computers and perceptual sets comprised of beliefs, emotions, intentions, and behavior/thought patterns. Choose a human language to mathematically hack into a strict subset of itself so it meets the requirements for a target language in universal embedding. I suspect some form of type theory might be needed for that; coeffects seem like they could be useful, as well as quantitative type theory. Use yourself as the primary experimental subject (ie. the test machine) to help guide things and don't worry about reproducible results...trust that you're an ordinary human with essentially the same cognitive functions as everyone else, for now. Explore how this can impact human relationships. Discover ways to organize the self in such a way as to more effectively organize at scale.

> The only way to prevent dark ages beliefs is to shine light on them.

This is the sort of principled belief I used to hold that I’m no longer sure holds up to scrutiny.

There's always been a fringe that was willing to believe anything. But how do you call something like Infowars “fringe” when it’s on the same “network” as NPR and CNN podcasts? Placement like that legitimizes Infowars. That “light shining” on Infowars was a spotlight.

You’re probably right that this will galvanize the true believers, but what was going to turn their beliefs around? The flipside is that this move may cauterize a growing infection.
It's a business for repair technicians :)
To call that "fairly easy" seems a little overly glib maybe? I mean just look at the HN comments on this, or the comments on the WSJ article or the Ars version. Lots of people have internalized that banning people is "censorship" and nearly always wrong, and that the "right answer" to bad information is more information. Of course that framework for dealing with info attacks doesn't really address what to do when the shear amount of information is the attack.

As it stands though, within current speech norms and ideals of debate dating back to Athens at least, there are lot of people very angry about bans. And that matters to commercial entities in particular, which means banning isn't "easy" (even ignoring the lack of any time equivalency token system to deal with the economics of suspensions or bans better).

>Free speech is the right to speak your mind without being prosecuted by the government, it’s not the right to force your opinion on people who don’t want it.

You don't need to tell me that, I covered in the first paragraph of my post. But it's not unreasonable to talk about wider concepts for the "marketplace of ideas" as it serves society beyond the critical foundation of the 1A. I think we may need better norms and tools to help private entities in determining where lines should be and how to go about that. And I also think it's disingenuous to not address private entities that achieve levels of societal power that approach modern government even if they don't have armies of their own, particularly when there is in fact subtle government backing down the chain somewhere (DMCA for example).
Ever try to share a conventional database between multiple different companies or organizations? It's not practical.
It seems more complicated than going with a blockchain solution (or will be as blockchain deployment tools mature).

The adage that 'if parties are trusted, than go with a conventional DB' doesn't hold water anymore. If you need to share a database with other companies, it inevitably leads to contracting a third party solution to manage the data entry between all parties, which means you now have to trust this one entity and there's a single point of failure.

Hyperledger, blockchain, and the like eliminate the need for third party management. A few engineers at each party needs to set up the new service, and now you don't have to worry about central points of failure, you have built in redundancy, and you save money by not having to use a data management service that exists to make money off of you.
