I firmly believe openly-accessible links are the foundation of the World Wide Web and why it's attractive. I also believe everyone should make efforts to build a more open Internet, however futile that step is.

The Internet is large enough. See you.

[Bill Xing @Snmyj]

我坚信可公开访问的链接是万维网的基础和魅力所在，也坚信哪怕徒劳无功，临渊羡鱼不如退而结网，每个人���应该为一个更加开放的互联网而努力。

互联网很大。再见。

News report by iFeng tech on defamation lawsuit brought by Tesla China against PingWest, a well-respected technology news website in China.

Plaintiff asked for a sealed trial, which the court granted. The court also ordered both parties to not publicize the content of the trial.

Amazing photos coming from the Communication University of China, Nanjing, where students are protesting, making their voices heard at a time of growing unrest in light of zero Covid, following the Urumqi fire.

protesters said to the armed police: "Whose child are you? Whose father are you? Won't your heart hurt? How many people died today"?

Bureaucracy is there for a reason: it's cheap and self-sustaining.

I have no problem believing any company can have some bloat, be it system architecture or staff.

However, It's harder to write short than to write long. It's harder to refactor properly than to duplicate. It's harder to save than to waste.

The idea that China's astonishing growth over the past three decades was the result of its embrace of free markets, and its recent slowdown a consequence of its rejection of free markets, is much more ideological than empirical.

"Hours after the Supreme Court action, the Buckeye state had outlawed any abortion after six weeks. Now this doctor had a 10-year-old patient in the office who was six weeks and three days pregnant." https://t.co/k90cow4PDs

说政治正确导致了开倒车，和说反纳粹分子导致了希特勒上台有什么区别。#synct

@virushuo 前一段时间还在想，每个个体很可能并不需要搜索整个web，所以觉得YaCy那个客制化+p2p的思路还是有值得探索的可能性。
