The legislation relevant to this article is not the First Amendment, it's Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. If platform operators are censoring content based on politics, that makes them a publisher which means they lose their CDA 230 protection from liability for what users post...

'Potato' is the new synonym for the R-word (meaning developmentally challenged) ever since the actual R-word became a pejorative that can get you banned from the more sensitive forums. This is indicative of the futile nature of the task MS has elected to undertake. The more words they ban, the...

By that logic, it is perfectly fair to hold moderate Muslims accountable for the actions of Muslim extremists, since you are holding moderate conservatives responsible for the actions (or rather, the words) of conservative extremists. A rather excellent illustration of the difference between...

There was a Car Holocaust, it was called Cash for Clunkers.

I just wish more of them made high quality games that are fun to play. Emphasizing diversity and a positive culture is nice, but at the end of the day the only thing I care about as a consumer is whether the game they made is any good.

FYI: One person (an 18 year old) has already been criminally charged for distributing the video online. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/austr ... livestream

I believe that image contains an additional Easter Egg that was unsurprisingly missed by the staff of Ars. March 28th is a date that recently acquired a particular significance to residents of the Boston area. Written numerically, it would be 3-28 and 28-3 was the score of Super Bowl LI...

Companies make products intended to maximize sales, not to please advocates of diversity quotas. If those types of games sold well, more would be made. Attempts have been made to create games like that, but they usually result in the studio going bust shortly thereafter. You can't force...

You are basically describing the exact way this publication treated anyone that believed there should be ethics in games journalism.

("SocJus" likely refers to the phrase "social justice," which is applied as a derogatory term to art and entertainment that embraces diversity of perspective.) If there is one thing an SJW definitely cannot handle without flying into an apoplectic, hysterical fit, it's a diversity of...

I happen to think the most horrifying aspect of the Post-Meritocracy Manifesto is contained in its very title, the devaluing of programming skills in judging someone's fitness to contribute to an open source programming project in favor of their demographic identity (which is, of course...

This is true, the name for such words is portmanteau (which is itself, a portmanteau).

That basic concept is false. A private entity censoring the content on their platform does not violate the First Amendment, but it is a violation of the philosophic principle of Free Speech. Those are two different things and should not be used interchangeably.

tl;dr version: Curation for Quality: Good Curation for Content: Bad I agree completely (provided my interpretation is accurate).

My suggestion would be to have a tank containing water of equal mass to the rocket on the opposite end of your centrifugal arm. When you release the rocket you also blow a hatch on the tank so that the water is all released, keeping the mass of the centrifuge balanced. The water would...

How long before Bethesda comes out with a Skyrim port for those tiny arcade machines?

Considering the complete hash that universities have made of enforcing Title IX with their kangaroo courts for students, it seems like the last thing we should do is expand that mandate to include faculty. While sexual harassment is an issue that should be addressed, the universities themselves...

A hyperloop transit time of 12 minutes from LAX to the Getty Center is understandable, all he's doing is taking the distance between those two points and dividing by the velocity of his transport system. The problem, which is the same problem with all mass transit systems, is that you don't...

I'm not defending anything, I'm simply pointing out that responding to vitriol with an ad hominem contributes nothing to the conversation, much like your own comment. Apparently the rules regarding civility are selectively enforced based on the point of view being expressed.

Did you get your panties twisted because someone called you out for throwing a temper tantrum? Maybe you should go find a safe space where you can cool off.
