Would the difference in density be more likely due to a difference in design philosophy or the intel design team being less expert? As a customer do intel pay for mm2 or for transistors? Forgive me if you are not the right person for these

We don't ban Maoists or Stalinists or Mussolini style facists. We don't ban Napoleonics or Confederates. After WW2 there was a period of strong Jewish support for nazi rights. Were they not an open democracy? Is the risk in 2025 s

No, the neo-nazis can defend themselves. I just support personal freedoms.

This week we've had the federal laws strengthend to a one year minimum jail time for nazi salutes. I think saying "punch a nazi" unironically could now also get you a year in jail, but I'm not sure about that one.

Personally I enjoy slippery slope arguments which is why I didn't use the term fallacy. What I dislike is the reddit framing of having already slipped!

Calls to violence have no place in a civil society. Perhaps as a response to real, physical, violence it would be ok. I also had trouble with all the far right wingers who kept talking about civil war.

It's a shame it's become hard to make free speech arguments on reddit. RIP Aaron Swartz.

Let me put it another way. Trump is likely to try many outrageous and unexpected things. As someone who tries to be non partisan, and isn't even american, I am fatigued by all of the claims that the world within the USA is ending. When

Yeah "packed full" is probably a bit too heavy here. To pick a few examples though: - The nazi punching thread had several moderated comments ranked near the top which were presumably calls to violence. - The Mitch McConnal thread

My bad for using an ambiguous term but please note that "usual" is the first listed definition for normal in many dictionaries. Using norms to mean rules seems to be more archaic. https://www.merriam-webster.com/di

I understand that a self-coup could happen but to describe it as already happening seems premature... there are some things that will go to the courts sure but even democrats agree the courts are likely to find in Trump's favour. Does

In my mind democratically elected and coup are antonyms. If you are against trumps style of cleanup then I would probably stick to illegal, although that is TBD, radical or destructive.

I guess it depends on what you mean by normal. The point I am trying to make is it is common for Presidents to do things which are later deemed illegal.

What makes it a coup? Trump was elected on a platform of government reform and that's what he is doing.

As an Australian who had friends who bought product on silk road my understanding was: 1) It's safer to buy something online and have it mailed to your house than go pick it up from some shady dude. 2) On the street you would often get

I haven't worked in FAANG but I recently applied to Amazon in Australia. I interviewed with 3 asians, 2 indians and 1 white guy. YMMV.

Call me oldschool but to me a functioning democracy is where anyone can express their opinions. Neo nazis, zionists, anti zionists, jews, palestinians, socialists, globalists, communists, libertarians etc.

If TV were to be banned under similar reasoning would you believe that to be justified? TV programming is similarly opaque to the social media algorithms.

Is there a time when you would find "nanny state" to be a useful concept? What would make that situation different to the social media ban?

by throwawaythekey 2y ago
I find it uncomfortable that so many of the arguments focus on practicality and that so few focus on liberty. It almost seems like a forgotten concept.

In day to day life we are fairly free but for example we have much weaker freedom of speech/opinion than the USA. For example if you raise your arm at a particular angle you can now be sent to jail [1]. We also had some of the longest&
