I see the part I think you're talking about, but actually, it does not say that there was any oppression or that anyone was stifled.

I apologize, I'm pretty sure I feel the way I do because I'm getting old, but here's how I feel: talking to computers is a really, really bad interface, so I don't do it. One reason it's bad is that the sounds we ma

I'm not an MRA. I don't like the Reddit anti-feminism scene. I don't hate feminism, but I strongly oppose a lot of the ideas it comprises. It's an incoherent mess, a circular, self-defending hall of mirrors that shames p

Yeah, this worries me. I think we're probably counting down the final months before the first time someone is assassinated via civilian drone. It could be trained to keep its distance until it recognizes its target's face, and the

First of all, your English seems quite good. And English is a difficult language, especially the grammar. I wish I could express myself in Mandarin as well as you just did in English. Please don't be too hard on yourself. We're no

I really don't understand gentrification, or maybe I understand the word, but not why there is such a word. Or maybe I see the value in having such a word, but then I don't understand why it almost always seems to carry a negative

It's true, they tend to avoid it because 四 (si4, "four") sounds similar to 死 (si3, "die"). I don't know why they settled on that way. It seems pretty arbitrary, though. I'd like to find out more.

To expand on what solox3 said, Chinese people put commas in numbers after every 4 digits instead of every 3. I find it kind of confusing when I need to say 3 ten-thousands, instead of 30 thousands. It looks like that kind of mistake to me.

Hmm, haven't you answered your own question? What are you doing with your one and only life? Of course, don't be reckless, but I definitely wouldn't want to look back and regret playing it safe.

This seems like cool tech, and people will surely get some good out of it. But it's kind of in the danger zone that Buddhists warn us about: that the vast majority of people are ghosts, always thinking about the past, or planning for t

Hi, sorry if what I'm saying here is obvious and well-known; I'm coming to the whole Cicada thing late. When the article listed the names of cities, one jumped out at me: Fayetteville, Arkansas. I used to live in Fayetteville, and

I don't think I'm strongly pushing any particular position -- I think the author is, and I'm asking why. Basically, what makes this particular story of human savagery, out of all of them, crucial right now? If it's high
