There's a decent amount of evidence to suggest it did, and China has already shown themselves unreliable (putting it mildly) regarding information about the virus. I don't think you have a leg to stand on if you propose to speak w

Eh. The performance and the notation is important to me, and I haven't seen a lot of benchmarks (or any...) indicating that J is particularly fast. And from what I understand, even Iverson eventually decided that J was a step backward

I've been thinking this is a good test run to see how much authoritarianism the Western governments can get away with. If this turns into part of the yearly flu (which I've been hearing is getting more likely), then the 'war

I don't know what those people have written, but I agree. It's important to save the work of authors we disagree with, just as much the work of authors we approve of. Otherwise we are just as guilty of censorship. And recall, a m
