"Weather alerts, flood, tornado, etc. should be able to wake people up."

They're already *able* to wake people up. What do you do about people not wanting to be woken up who silence their phones? Do you pass legislation making it illegal for phones to be able to silence certain alerts? Okay, some people will put their phones somewhere other than their bedside so they can't be woken up. Do you make that illegal, or at some point do you just say "Okay, you know what, this is on you"?

Okay, all those alerts saved one life.

And all those alerts convinced a bunch of people to silence their alerts, and resulted in lives lost.

Have you bothered to compare the two numbers to see whether the alerts are, in fact, justified? Or do you always only look at a benefit and ignore any associated costs?

What does that translate to in watts/square meter?

Primordial black holes are sub-microscopic. They would be orders of magnitude smaller than a hydrogen molecule. They will not be accreting anything.

No, 1 nanometer is orders of magnitude too high an estimate. Observed data constrains primordial black hole masses to about 10^13kg, which gives a Rsch of about .0001 nanometers. That's only a couple of orders larger than a proton, it is *not* easy to feed them and one is not going to fall into a star and completely eat it. In the unlikely event it collides with a star, it will absorb scarcely any of it as it passes through.

I've been reliably informed by a great number of people who think certain ideas should be suppressed that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

"It's not about "hating" Jews, it's about hating Israeli genocidal policies,"

Weird how so much hate about Israeli genocidal policies gets directed against non-Israeli Jews in the US.

"At this point, Jews are doing to others that which was done to them."

Wait, I thought it was Israeli genocidal policies. Now one paragraph later you're talking about how it's Jews doing it.

Can you name a jurisdiction that requires a certified electrician to turn off a breaker?

Can you name a store where there's only one breaker for the entire store?

Yes, 'misinformation' and 'propaganda' are things which are absolutely included under the rubric of free speech. Don't like them, speak out against them instead of being a censorious asshat bootlicker.

"That is similar as pointing a knife or a gun"

It is absolutely not similar to pointing a knife or a gun.

Words are words. They are not knives or guns. Your argument is, again, the argument of every would-be censor of ideas in the world.

Lick the boot harder, bootlicker.

X shouldn't block any countries. It should shut down operations in all other countries, operate solely in the USA, and tell other countries that they're perfectly free to block X if they want to.

"Your freedom ENDS when someone else freedom starts."

  *Everything you do affects someone else*. Your argument is an argument against all freedom, everywhere.

Which means it's an absurd argument, the argument of the fascist and the bootlicker. It's the argument that Saudi Arabia uses when it executes a journalist or an apostate. It's the argument that China uses when it erects the Great Firewall. It's the argument that North Korea uses when it blows up a dissident with a mortar.

Lick the boot harder, bootlicker, you left some much up there in the treads.

Hey, remember when Slashdotters used to talk about how the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it?

Now Slashdotters fucking love censorship and licking boot. The Great Firewall is awesome!

This wasn't defamation. Harris is a public figure, and it is exceedingly hard to defame those.

Moreover, the thing about Shark Tank was that you were getting an investor's buy-in to help you bring the product to market and manufacture it in a volume worth selling. What are the 100 going to do to enable any of that? Ideas are free, it's turning them into actual products that takes time and money.
