I lived on Zumirez Drive when this happened (well, actually, on the corner of PCH and Zumirez). I was super-excited to show CaliforniaCoastline.org to all of the neighbors, telling them, “isn’t this cool? We can see our beach on here!” I guess some of the neighbors weren’t as thrilled...

That neighborhood was really special and weird. Streisand got a lot of negative press for what she did, but she was also legitimately afraid of stalkers and crazy people. It was a really sad situation to observe. I’ll write something about this at some point, after the other 100 strange stories in the queue.

I didn't know what Barbra Streisand's Malibu residence looked like, but now I do.

Ah yes, the Streisand Streisand effect, the effect of being the Streisand referred to in the Streisand effect and having your private details brought up in metaconversations

it's very satisfying to me that the Streisand Streisand effect is an example of the Streisand effect. It's like F(F(x)) = F(x).

“The Streisand effect is idempotent”

Only on HN

Works at least for F(x) = c and F(x) = x (∀c ∈ ℝ)

(this is not legal advice)

If 'x' is a vector, then it works for a lot of other functions as well (all the projections into a lower-dimensional vector space).

Streisand should counter with a super-injunction, to complete the circle.

Re: Streisand effect effect vs Streisand Streisand effect. They both work, I thought of it as Streisand (possessive of specific person) "Streisand effect" (concept). Also the doubling on the left seems beneficially sillier

Beautiful view from her house but how do you get down to the beach?

The public can walk there from Paradise Cove, which you can access from PCH after Bob Morris lost his big lawsuit.

The combination of over-tourism (accelerated by way too many Airbnbs), social media and rising sea levels means that this beach isn’t the beautiful secret it used to be, so ... have a nice time visiting!

There's typically stairs somewhere in the area for beaches like that.

You my friend, haven't been invited to parties at fancy places a lot, have you?
