How does this apply to the parent post, but not the grandparent?

Very low quality article, does not give any reasons at all why TSMC believes this (and they have an ulterior motive). Just a naked assertion.

"In Chess, you win when you take the King, which in effect has infinite point value, and it is relatively uncommon to come to a draw." Great article, but this guy clearly does not follow competitive chess. The vast majority of gam

Extremely unhealthy binge-eating of unhealthy foods in the obese girls paired with bouts of bulimia that never worked. Mostly plant-based/vegan diets and yoga/other forms of exercise in the thin ones.

Another uncomfortable truth for overwhelmingly overweight Americans: fat-shaming seems to work. Anecdotally, the girls I know whose parents/family criticized them when they started to get fat never became truly fat and the ones whose p

Sure, they can. Should they? And should they be allowed to looking forward, or are they now an active threat to democracy? By the way, I say this speaking as a conservative who opposes basically everything the Socialist Workers Party stands

The pricing for this is ridiculous. Far easier to just unsubscribe + report to spam + set a filter if that doesn't work. This takes almost no time for me currently because I unsubscribe diligently.

I think you're confusing YouTube's "free speech" with YouTube's ability to censor anything they want. I have no issue with Google uploading YouTube videos or blog posts spreading essentially whatever message the com

This seems more complicated and significantly more expensive than hosting a static site from S3 and using a Cloudfront distribution to enforce SSL.

Does Google Drive not charge users based on data transfer? With S3 this would not be an issue, but either the uploader or the downloader (with "requester pays" buckets) would end up covering the cost.

You're completely missing the point. I'm making an argument about how companies should behave, not how they are legally obligated to. Incidentally, YouTube, Twitter, etc. should be subject to far stricter regulation when they enfo

You presumably also would be in favor of domain brokers restricting speech (correct me if I'm wrong). Does every controversial political speaker also need to host his or her own ICANN domain? Or should they just promote their speech en

You can have a fairly minimal degree of censorship limited to actual criminal speech. There's no reason why platforms can't adopt that as their standard.

by herostratus101 6y ago
This is a fairly cheap argument. Presumably the reasons why it's bad for the government to ban speech are also largely applicable to platforms that are almost universally used to discover new viewpoints.

Good for Amazon for not caving to activist pressure. Google's past fecklessness in this domain has come to haunt it.

I happened to start reading it a few weeks ago. The book is even better than the movie, and the movie is one of my favorite horror films of all time.

Whatever the advantages of GCP, they don't amount to "technical superiority" imo. The fact that Oracle's main relational database offerings are still the most technologically sophisticated does not mean that Oracle Clo

AWS offers hundreds of very mature, extremely reliable services, many of which have either no competition or half-assed clones with few of the same features. Serverless is a great example of this. GCP and Azure both have serverless offering

Oh, there have been lots of great indie films, to be sure. Most of them made outside of America. The majority of Hollywood is garbage though.

No, they're mostly plotless, capeshit, superhero garbage flicks that pander to international audiences. To be clear though, 1930s movies are also bad. But the golden era was not the last decade.
