Honestly? Probably nothing, not to their advantage anyway. The blm peaceful protests /riots had the backing and mandate of their mainstream. From what I've seen of the fight wrong media /power centers, this does not. The capi

I would like to believe you that this would be even handed at all violent talk and extremism, but blm from just months back stands as a major counterpoint.

I'm going to go one step further. Anyone can be antifa, even the facists. Same with blm and racists. There's absolutely no governing body, and from what I've seen, there's at least a visible portion of the antifa who car

It is. I really want to know what the hell is going on with their dev team.

That's a fine argument and all, but practically speaking, we see that as driven content for free outcompetes.

I'd argue here that they're basically the public square of our time, just that law is slow to move here.

Sure, but the left leaning party that both exercises power and represents the left did use it. The left is responsible for that just as the right gets to own trump.

Note that his account wasn't banned.

This is the specific sort of muddying via association that's often used. Suddenly, trump is a literal swastika flashing nazi, and that's why twitter banned him. Associating people with the worst of whatever group you can lump them

Schrier is a scumbag, even with whatever passes for "journalism" in the games industry.

Guess we should ban peanuts too, since allergies to that exist too. Some population being allergic isn't an argument to remove it, rather one for transparency and alternatives.

Because if they want to censor, I want to make them liable for their editorializing.

Sure, the Uighurs are just violating China's policy too.

Ugh, all this gets you is being mediocre at all of this.

Think of it the other way round. Long warranties are indicative of a durable, long lasting product. A short warranty, however, does not necessarily indicate a crap product. Of course this is not a perfect measure, but I do think that a corr

Sure, not denying that, especially for the more hardcore wine aficionados out there. That's why I said weakly fungible, and not perfectly. However, I do believe that the intended result will happen still, and there will be a shift of s

I'll say if you're making this argument, then aws should be responsible for all content on aws servers. No hosting protections, direct responsibility. After all, the illegal data was on their servers, thus they should be directly

Let's put it a different way then. Imagine right wing dystopia where everything you value is considered bad. Now you try to discuss Gay rights. You can't talk about it on Facebook, nor on any platform, as they ban you instantly.

Clause 2 and 3 of your statement here seem to be taken for granted.

Wine is weakly fungible. Specific wines, not so much, but I believe that the category of French wines can be effectively cross supplied by domestic American. Demand for wine should, in theory, shift there.

I do hope that happens. Seeing that all principles here on censorship essentially turn into "censor those not on my side", I'd derive some meagre satisfaction from that backswing, even if I too well burn at that same stake.

Isn't the warranty pretty much the metric of "how long it'll last", as expected by the manufacturer? A long warranty, while not a guarantee, is pretty correlated to the product lifespan.

It's a virus. Mutation to avoid detection is par the course. Essentially, each replication means mutation, and over time, variants emerge. Think of why you need a seasonal flu vaccine and not one flu vaccine.

That's a terribly optimistic view of science, speaking as someone who was also in the same boat. They might not just accept anything, but it'll be much easier if they want to believe you. This goes quintuple for social science.

To the Journal. They want money too, but for open access it comes from the researchers. For closed access, it comes from the subscriptions. Forcing open access is still the same as just paying for the subscription, as far as it goes, since

From a game theoretic point of view though, charity is a system that incentivizes defecting. Let the charitable fools burn their lk resources for no gain while you reinforce your position.

Do you not remember the old days? I had a nightmare of a time lk dealing with adware and spyware infested pcs. Almost every person I knew had an infested pc. Browser hijacks, toolbars etc. For the layman, the walled Garden is a feature.
