I won't explain to you why I am a better judge of what you should see than yourself, because I am not.
You, I assume, are an adult but not a parent.
As a parent I am rather insistent that I am a better judge than my 7 year old of what he should see.
He can spell and he can surf the web. I would like him to be able to access Wikipedia unsupervised, but at this time I don't see any reason why he should be allowed to stumble on pictures of sexual practices like fisting or ball torture.
I couldn't care less about what you get to see, but I would like a filter flag that allows me to ensure my kids are not exposed to gratuitous violence and/or pornography until they are mature enough to deal with it.
To me it seems almost intentionally obtuse to not understand the use case for this.
This longer piece (German) quotes him pointing out that he is very weak in Graph theory and Combinatorics. Nevertheless he skipped two classed in school and will be able to start university this fall.
He ordered his forces to attack a country without authorization of the UN security council in cohorts with a couple of other high profile war criminals:
The authors of the paper are actually quite clear on it:
If one views the quantum state as a real physical object, one could get the seemingly paradoxical situation that future actions appear as having an influence on past and already irrevocably recorded events.
However, there is never a paradox if the quantum state is viewed as to be no more than a âoecatalogue of our knowledgeâ. Then the state is a probability list for all possible measurement outcomes, the relative temporal order of the three observerâ(TM)s events is irrelevant and no physical interactions whatsoever between these events, especially into the past, are necessary to explain the delayed-choice entanglement swapping.
The wave-function is nothing but a correlation machinery that organized nature's limited resources to properly fall into place (without upsetting causality as the correlations can only be sorted in hindsight).
This demystified view of QM is still very much overshadowed by the Quantum Hippie version that makes for better headlines. I.e. non of the pop science sites clearly report this tidbit of the authors wisdom. Causality violation draws more web traffic.
Germany's chancellor Ms. Merkel is a physicist. To me that is part of the reason that education and science remains a priority in Germany despite tough financial times.

Anagama makes a good point. Especially since there is a non-trivial overlap between what libertarians and liberals believe in: Civil liberties as in freedom on the Internet, no government intrusion into private life, legalizing soft drugs, no more wasting money on policing the globe.
Non-partisan, policy focused groups can have a function as a check on power. E.g. love 'em or hate'em but the NRA has been playing this game very well.
Means extreme weather patterns become more likely. This includes more extreme temp fluctuations while the global overall mean just inches by a fraction of a degree per year.
All well established and advertised for the last twenty years. People pointing to super cold, wet winter in NZ are just emphasizing this, while kidding themselves into thinking it somehow contradicts the climate change trend.
I'm quite certain that once the future history of global warming will be written it'll emphasize that it shows humanity at it's smartest and most stupid at the same time.
Your pessimism is warranted. Here's what I am hoping for:
This may allow for some breathing space for some actual labor organization to happen. While they are under scrutiny violent suppression of such effort will be more difficult.
Constructing an iPad will require some learning curve no matter how much the process is broken down. Walk-outs will be costly and disruptive, especially in the gadget industry where products have a short shelf live.
The situation in China is similar to where the Western world was 100 years ago. Labor struggles will be fierce. The unions won't always win but the record in the Western world shows that overall concessions can be achieved. That is if independent organization is not violently suppressed. Not that it wasn't violent in the US as well. If you want to read up on this fascinating bit of under reported US history I can recommend you a book.

Right! Fisting and ball torture is perfectly healthy sexual behavior that any seven year old should be exposed to.
I very much hope you are not a parent and that if you ever were to become one that you come to your senses.
Do you even fathom why there is such a thing as age rating for movies?
I guess it must be due to the hormones that I cannot make any sense of your statement.
Are you arguing that it is irrational that parents safe-guard what their kids get to see?
If so that'll be just demented.
On the other hand this comment would make some sense if it was directed at the parent post.
Do you have children?

Won't be the last time we heard form this guy.
You are not actually America but know for a fact that it is the most free country?
Have you actually ever lived there?
I could see your point if he moved to Switzerland.
... in the good ole USA. Many pretty places to live there, too.
No idea what you talk about.

The only accountability that matters is the one at Judgment Day. Until then let's party like it's 999.
Bloody fools.
War criminals like Tony Blair understand that crystal clear hence the conversion to catholicism.

Will never look at a blue sky the same.
Seriously, I don't really have anything to add to the subject line.
A US passport is still a valid federal document for the purpose of identification whether the RFID chip is broken or not.
I am not a lawyer but I think they have grounds to sue the airline for damages and I hope they do.
The art of prognosis: Say one thing and allow for the other.
Every third rate investment letter writer knows that trick. That way they can later pull out the part of an old prognosis that makes them look good.
Color me unimpressed.
You are a very funny fuzzyfuzzyfungus :)
After all his "End of History" prognosis was spectacularly wrong.

Independent unions are currently suppressed in China

This is probably the next best option as long as these workers are not allowed to unionize and negotiate their labor terms.
The ruling family is the ones that created this religious extremism in the first place to control their population.
They like to sell us their people's oil to enrich themselves and call themselves "our allies".
They are not.
