Reception
Like many American films of the time, The Brazen Beauty was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required, in Reel 4, cuts of two scenes and the flashing of three scenes of a young woman in a boat where her gown was considered indecently low.[2]
gollark: Clock speeds aren't improving as much/fast as they used to, density is also not improving particularly fast, and Moore's law is basically dead unless you fudge the data a lot.
gollark: There actually are worries about development of this stuff slowing down.
gollark: <@!336962240848855040> As far as I know 3nm does not actually exist yet, and there are a bunch of possible sizes you could use.
gollark: > The 22 nm node may be the first time where the gate length is not necessarily smaller than the technology node designation. For example, a 25 nm gate length would be typical for the 22 nm node.
gollark: As far as I know it *used* to actually be a measure of something, but they hit issues around... 22nm or something, don't really know... and despite said measure not changing very much the processes kept getting better, so they just reduced them.
