>I think it depends on the context. If I'm a mod on reddit and I remove a submission because it's a clear rule breaker, am I censoring the person who posted it, or am I performing content curation? Which is the more accurate term to use?

If you remove speech you don't like, it is censorship.

Curation would be tagging content for a front-end filter that excludes content based on its configuration.
Yea, it was pretty bad for me. I did manage to establish an ssh connection over that, but it would get dropped pretty fast. I'd setup L2TP on the host if you want to browse the web, it might just about work.
The connection itself is not that bad, I actually paid for it eventually and it was okayish. I'm pretty sure with a bunch of adjustments you could get it to a point where you can use some IM comfortably.

There is a meaningful distinction between lawful imprisonment and false imprisonment; that doesn't make it accurate to call lawful imprisonment freedom.

Moreover, the ability of software vendors to push malicious updates is a security vulnerability. Just because we haven't eradicated it yet doesn't mean we should codify our inability to address it in the future, e.g. by allowing users to choose what party they trust to verify and sign updates.

Falter on binaries coverage even a little and customers would revolt.

Doesn't this suggest it had less to do with binaries than the kind of users it had and could retain/attract? My impression at the time was that it was too clunky for new users (convoluted setup, specialized text or native clients, obtuse topic hierarchy, etc) and binaries or not, the web killed it just like it killed ftp sites, standalone email clients and so on. Why weren't companies running servers just for discussions (or maybe there were? what happened to them?)
You're kind of famous and people aren't going to want to say no to you but at the same time probably fail to execute. There's zero hesitation when it comes to shooting down small fries from my experience (I'm an employee at my 3rd ycombinator startup now). I remember Airbnb when it was tiny, back in 2009/2010, they were small like the rest of us once.

Also for efficiently searching through your data, your provider needs access to the data (or I guess something like homeomorphism).
Much like tech hiring, investors prefer to optimize for false negative over false positives. Especially because the power dynamic is still skewed in their way, which allows them to say things like "call us back when you get to a series A" - none of the risk, all of the upside. Kind of like that girl who rejected me in high school but said "if in 10 years we both haven't found someone, maybe we can get together".
Maybe, and I do mean "maybe" the cost of vehicle ownership and fuel costs are factors that would incentivize such a purchase.

I know we are a corner case, but I would consider purchasing one of these. Well, if they get some YouTube crash videos up like the SmartCar video... My family works on a "primary car / backup car" basis. Most of our combined driving needs are covered by our TDI wagon. When we infrequently both need to drive on the same day, whomever is going on the longest trip takes the TDI, and the other takes the beater. I could see a car like this replacing the beater, or becoming the car used by whomever isn't driving our daughter on a given day.
All rights are worth fighting for even if they don't affect your life. The reasoning behind this should be pretty clear in that the individual rights tend to help protect the others much like chainmail. Maybe each individual link is not particularly strong but together they can fend off quite an attack but the hole that's left if a single link is compromised is why we should fight for all rights.
With One Year to Jupiter, NASA's Juno Team Prepares
Thinking on 'why people do this', I have come to the conclusion that they are attempting to solidify a belief of theirs. Posting about it helps them to do this, because any suggestion (belief) is likely to die after being born if it can not stand future adversity.

And came up with this, for clarification purposes, albeit, it is specifically designed to be more about asking questions then providing answers. Less about the illusion of logic, and more about the reality is questions that do not want to be asked...

This article on [a consensus derogatory label] is invalid because [it goes against how I want to operate consciously]. There are no valid reasons for it, because [it does not offer any evidence, even if it cites a study, I will ignore the existence of that study]. It is also not the consensus opinion of the experts who, I admit, know more then me [even if that consensus opinion is actually explicitly and loudly argued in the argument to be contrary].

Say, a bunch of scientists you admire create an encyclopedia of definitions, of say, living beings. You won't find bigfoot there. You won't find Yeti there. Likewise, "sociopath" and "psychopath" are not in the DSM. And so, by definition, then, the meat of the article actually simply attempts to merely point this out.

If the article was "Bigfoot is a myth", it might be a little less heated. Because critics who disbelieve the bigfoot myth are less likely to be called bigfoot for doing so.

Everyone has their own language. Maybe they are not aware of the underlying etymology of the words "sociopath" or "psychopath". These words, by etymology are extremely generic. One is sick in their dealings with society. Or one is sick in their own mind. So, one could say every definition in the DSM is, actually, both sociopathic and psychopathic.

Is there sickness in their mind? Are there social angles to that sickness? It would be hard to find a single definition in the entire DSM which did not meet one or both of those criteria.

So, saying "sociopathy" or the equivalent people use "psychopathy" is "a myth", is just plain wrong.

Further, it is [not backed by my own standards which exclude the consensus book entirely] and it [does not help me pretend to understand others individually when I need a more generic, all inclusive term to understand them for my own reasons of depersonalizing them].

If you are of [a belief system most contrary to my own], or if you [state a belief I find not most useful to my own conscious purposes to believe], then you are wrong. And I will [attempt to produce a complex enough justification for that judgment to fool my own self and others]. And this is [exactly why I post, to try and create consensus opinion to come to a model I can use in the future and today which is less likely to be decimated by anyone else's model].

And [the problem with this sort of critical post] is that [even though it is obscure I get a strong sense it declothes me], so I will [feel a strong need to actually try and cut it apart].

yes, but the author's issues with markdown are limitations of a limited markup. markdown is appealing thanks to the lack of verbosity, hence jade - terse, simple, yet extensible. markdown is nigh one-dimensional, your content should fit in a box, and offers little ability to provide semantics. HTML / XML are overly verbose, and painful for novice / non-technical users. a subset of jade solves these eloquently for me.
No problem.

For what it's worth, I've had luck just using the AWS EC2 web console, and choosing "Create Image" and "No reboot" from the instance's context menu. That spits out an EBS snapshot and an EBS-backed AMI based on the snapshot, which is probably what you were after. I went through the instance store image creation steps a long time ago for a project that deployed on custom AMIs and it was pretty convoluted; we ended up going EBS-backed and skipping the instance store altogether.

Article is probably best summarized towards its end:

"So for those who are curious, what people like Ellen Pao do is not fight sexism. They encourage sexism. They require sexism to sustain themselves, which is why they find it everywhere they look whether it exists or not. Pao is not a pioneer for women in tech. Anita Sarkeesian is not a pioneer for women in gaming. There have been women in both of these industries, as well as science, mathematics, engineering, and every similar field, for much longer than either of these ladies have even lived on this earth. They are also not pioneers for feminism, because they defy the very basic principles that Western feminism was founded on."

It's interesting you say that, given that the author lives in London, most of his examples are from the UK, and he specifically refers to the UK government's desire to expand fintech in the last paragraph, which he says has received "uncritical support." When I read it I thought it was fairly UK-centric. What is it about his points that makes it seem US-centric?
At a startup, it's either worth joining at the very, very beginning (preferably as a cofounder), or after the company has real market traction and has its tech DNA figured out. Being an early employee sucks rocks--the stress is high, the pay is shit, the equity is bad, and the glory is nonexistent (because everybody is usually busy jerking off over how great the founding team is, because mythos and branding and culture).
This is probably the safest way to reject someone seeing that 4 of them used the exact same response as well as your music business investors. I hear this line all the time.

To be fair, I guess making huge returns is not their prime policy or maybe their investors have a policy against certain investments due to moral or some esoteric reasons.
> We were attempting to raise $150,000 at a $1.5M valuation. That means for $150,000 you could have bought 10% of Airbnb.

This is completely off-topic but since the $150,000 is going back to the business, wouldn't that mean that the valuation becomes $1.65M? The word "bought" makes it sound like someone is taking the money and selling their share.
I'm afraid you need to re-read your notes :)

N-player prisoner's dilemma is well-known. Neither 2-player nor N-player assumes rational actors. EDIT: It assumes that payoffs are in a reasonable unit of utility (so we don't need to think about whether $1000 is worth 10 times as much as $100, or more, or less). That's a related point but not the same.

The second point doesn't make it undefined. If there are two people, and one opts for 2 points, then the 10% is exceeded and the condition is triggered. No confusion.

The prisoner's dilemma arises just as well if the payoff matrix is all positive. You just need T > R > P > S [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma].
Being big is not an excuse for being terrible at security. If they can't secure a big thing, then maybe they should stop building them so big?
No. They were offering to sell 10% of the company for $150K. That values the entire company at 1.5MM.
> Surely freedom of speech is enshrined in the Constitution because free exchange of ideas is valuable

That’s an interesting point to discuss, but before we do, are we talking about Reddit?

Any forum that has moderation in the form of downvotes and/or flags does not have a "free exchange of ideas." If we state something unpopular, we get downvoted and/or flagged and our speech disappears rapidly.

The ideal is that downvoting is for making poor arguments, not unpopular arguments. But few people believe this is what happens in practice. In practice, Reddit is moderated, it’s just that the moderation within a forum is carried out by the very people arguing with each other.

In a subreddit like/r/CoonTown, we are not going to find a free exchange of ideas with respect to race. If we want that, we have to go to a subreddit like /r/AskScience, where there is very active and aggressive moderation, and that moderation is associated with a set of laws restricting what you can and cannot say.

I think that there is a great deal of value in the idea of free speech, and in the utopian ideal of a free exchange of ideas. But I am not convinced that allowing all and sundry to create their own subreddits that represent finer and finer slices of single-issue society is the mechanism for enabling a free exchange of ideas.

Wait- what? The authors' credentials on the abstract page are different from their credentials in the pdf (which the site won't let me re-open). Hmmm.

As long as we're on the topic, this is probably one of my favorite David Byrne interviews (promo for Stop Making Sense): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-mxVxFXLg

I'd immediately pull out my funds as an investor out if I found out the names of the people writing these rejection letters. It would also be bad for street cred. "hey these guys missed out on the deal of the century, who else did they reject?"

150k is like peanuts to these firms with millions of dollars to throw. Hell, I'd bought out of the money put options near expiry if it meant there was a slight chance it would have potentially unlimited returns.
Probably not much— streetcars disappeared in Northern cities at the same time as in the South.

A huge problem for many private transit systems was that they signed contracts specifying a nickel fare in the pre-inflation era, so once inflation became part of monetary policy, they were unable to properly fund operations.

Beyond that, most streetcars were built before automobiles were common, so they could move relatively efficiently down the middle of the road, unencumbered by traffic. Once auto traffic congested roads, streetcars became much slower, and they weren't able to change lanes to get around an obstruction. That problem could be solved by reserving lanes for streetcars, as bus service could be dramatically improved in most cities by striping exclusive bus lanes and camera-enforcing them, but that wasn't politically feasable at the time.
Everyone can work that out for themselves! In theory. Or else remember it from the course textbook. In context, "coordination" usually means communication after the game is set up, whereas the idea of the random number generator is a standard approach even in advance.

Interesting, wouldn't even have tried that, motivational aspects ("This obviously isn't wanted, why invest in it?") aside.
One of the frustrating things about early-stage in my experience is that there is little correlation between VC and market interest; our experience (also cybersecurity) has been that we're generating a significant amount of interest from (now) customers and prospects, but VCs tend to say either "we just can't get to conviction, not sure why" or "you're amazing, everything makes sense, but security isn't our sweet spot".

So far, angel investors have been much easier to work with, although admittedly we chose to focus on customer growth once we had that first round of disappointing VC results.

The license terms between purchasing a CD and watching
a YouTube video are completely different.

Yes, that's why I included the proviso "moral justification rather than the legal justification"

You might argue that "well you can strip the GPL if
you don't redistribute it",

Yes, in case I wasn't clear in my post I was thinking of someone ripping a CD and keeping the MP3s for personal use. Distributing the artwork to other people would be a different matter altogether :)

however that is not what is happening in Streamus'
case. Streamus is technically redistributing music

A streamus supporter would probably say streamus is analogous to a VCR manufacturer, or a website that provides links to pirated content without hosting the content themselves. That because the big file comes from a youtube server, youtube is doing the distributing.

Personally I've always found such arguments a bit disingenuous, but there's merit to them in some cases.
I'm curious about something in the license, "no derivative works". How does this relate to fan fiction? I'm pretty sure using characters by name is verboten. But what if my fan fic is in the same universe with different characters, but responds or references main events?
