Like you’ve noticed, it appears to me that the state responds with much more violence to protests explicitly against violence than protests about other issues. I wonder why that is?
It’s no wonder that the protests over the last 20 years haven’t worked to garner more support considering that those who do participate are treated with violent retaliation.

Yes, this is my top requested feature for DDG. As a web developer, results are very time sensitive. It's more than a nice-to-have feature when you need to discern the validity of the subject matter based on which month it was published.
The end of Moore's Law does not mean that processing power will stop improving. It just means that there will likely be a slower rate at which the number of transistors gets doubled. Say, 3 years instead of 2. I think there is a physical boundary to that, but Moore's Law doesn't really address that.
