Good question. I would expect him to exhibit less reliably to stimuli. His behaviour is closer to a large switch(stimulus){} statement than the emergent behavior of human reaction to situations and stimuli. One example: he was stepped on wh

Do you believe mice ask themselves "why do I exist?" or whether it is better "to be, or not to be"? I am genuinely interested in your perspective. I adore my dog. He shows a wide range of what I believe to be genuine emo

Step 1. Folks in society can no longer tolerate even a little discomfort. Step 2. These folks go to the doctor demanding pain relief. The doctor no longer bothers telling them to rest up and take some tylenol. Instead she hands out Oxy. Ste

The Guardian is doing very well. Thier articles/journalists have a left world view and do not pretend they are neutral. I don't agree with a lot of their editorial opinions, but I can respect their strategy. It is refreshing comp

Kodi, the hugely popular open source media center platform/application, also lacks webviews and nobody seems to have any interest in adding them. I guess the reasons are UI related, rather than technical/crossplatform/bloat r

@rdl Thanks for your reply. It is interesting to hear the perspective of someone dealing with a different sector of the China. For what I do (security/defense) everything is censored by the Great Firewall.

> There are definitely protectionist aspects Do I read it correctly that you are arguing it is significantly less about protectionism and mostly about state censorship/control?

In the very long term, sure. In the medium term no. If Chinese firms were to start competing with Western firms, then the legality of Chinese protectionism would be called into question. The fact that CloudFlare even needs to partner with B

It simply allows you to send arbitrary files. No different to sending a link to a virus over email or putting a link on a Web page. Stupid/normal users would then try run the downloaded file.

Yes. Yes I Do. If Free Speech is defined as "whatever the government deems free speech" then the word itself becomes, at best, meaningless or, at worst, the twisted definition becomes itself a form of oppression. "WAR IS PEAC
