🔗 Amazon to pay $150,000 over Kindle removing 1984
One of the plaintiffs, Justin Gawronski, has a compelling story about his experience with Amazon’s memory hole. Apparently, he was reading his copy of 1984 as a summer assignment for school, and had been using one of the Kindle’s selling points—the ability to attach notes to specific parts of the e-book text—to prepare for his return to school. Since he was actively reading the work when Amazon pulled the plug, he actually got to watch the work vanish from his screen.

“ The entire world except the US figured out the cost of medicine is easy to handle if it is shared by all. I don’t think anything will change in the US in my lifetime, if I really want health security as I get older, I would have to leave the country.“
The American way is ‘I’, whilst a lot of the rest of world is ‘we’ … though in the U.K. at least, the government is moving as fast it can towards ‘I’ and away from ‘we’.
The 51st state is alive and well.
