This is just another in a long line of generational division clickbait articles.

Jesus Christ.

Does that sound like a real person to you? Or maybe a convenient boogyman to rile you up?

Or praised for creating an expendable workforce?

Considering the "pro life" crowd is often also "pro slavery" I think this is the perfect motivation for them to redefine "life" to suit their needs once again.

What a smart take! I learned something valuable today.

It also has a negative effect on adults.

It seems like more and more adults online communicate as if they were 15 years old.

If you try and have civilised discourse with someone you might only find out 3 messages into the conversation that the other party is 15 with no life experience and the insight of a potato. That's if you're lucky. Usually by the 3rd message the child is hurling insults and vitriol.

Unfortunately, those kinds of interactions have been normalised due to being exposed to them for several decades. Now, even intelligent adults act like petulant kids online. Unless you're in a specialised forum there is absolutely no point in trying to talk to another person in social media since it is almost certain they will throw a trantrum.

Man, I'm sorry you're going through such a tough spot. I've been there. I know just how disorienting it can be (on multiple levels).

I just want to remind you that this is temporary. You will eventually work your way out. It will get better. Hang in there and seek help if you're comfortable with that.

It sounds like you're expecting Agile to fix an organisational issue.

I find it interesting that the Trump camp that is opposed to Biden uses name calling. I have not once heard them make a salient point. Now, I'm no fan of Biden myself, but I sure as hell won't be forming my opinion of him based on catchy insults.

The whole "let's call him names" strategy seems so lazy. It's only going to win over people who are already calling him names.
Everyone else just thinks his supporters are simple children.

> The ARM reference design offers a guarantee that such side channels don't exist.

Nonsense. All modern CPUs have speculative execution side channels by nature. The only way to protect against these attacks is to change how we write software to insert speculation barriers in security-critical code paths.

The difference is that Intel doesn't just have speculative execution side channels, they had a pile of critical *security domain crossing* speculative execution side channels. All CPUs can leak data in speculation from your process into the side channel (which might be monitored by another process), but Intel has a pile of bugs which can leak data from *a completely different, innocent process*, or even the kernel (meltdown), or a VM hypervisor (L1TF). Those aren't inherent in CPU design, those are a result of what is clearly a major culture issue inside Intel.

> Spectre and Meltdown bed to differ.

Spectre and Meltdown are not covert channel issues. Spectre is a collection of speculative execution *side channel* issues, and Meltdown is a privilege domain crossing speculative execution *side channel* (the only one that hit other CPUs as well as Intel IIRC; other than Meltdown I think Intel has a monopoly on goofs this bad, e.g. L1TF). Covert channels are not the same thing as side channels, as they require cooperation from both sides.

That got very specific very quickly.

And we all know correlation is just as good as, if not better than, causation these days.

OK, so you're saying the answer to the question

Which country's laws should Reddit be beholden to?

is

"freedom" -- you, less than 2 hours ago

I hate this place. Everyone here is 15 years old and has read exactly half a book.

That's a very good question that was asked a lot in the 90s when the WWW was first becoming mainstream.

Did we ever find a solution? Not that I know of.

Can a website as large as Reddit really be considered to only exist within the US? It does, after all, serve more people outside of the US than within. And, similarly, it wouldn't surprise me if a large portion (if not the majority) of its infrastructure resided outside of the US.

What's the solution? I don't know, but it certainly isn't "shut up you foreigners."

I don't know why I even bother using slashdot anymore. There is no nuance to the discourse.

Although I suspect you deliberately chose to misunderstand me I'll indulge you.

I'm not saying that matters relating to free speech don't affect people outside the US. I was trying to highlight the fact that Reddit extends beyond the US and approaching this problem with a US-centric view will not make it easy to find a broader solution.

Now do everyone a favour: Stop jumping at the opportunity to feign outrage and start taking a moment to consider whether your contributions to the discussion are more than just noise.

I was demonstrating that some people don't live in the US.

You are demonstrating how to build a strawman and get angry on the internet.
