they can't conceive that the only country in the world that still has creationists fighting tooth and nails to teach in schools the bible in science class maybe wouldn't be the smartest country in the fkn world! america fck yeah!
Wouldn’t that be because the Chinese articles and websites would be in… Chinese? Meaning that why would Google recommend Chinese sources to a person searching in English. Especially since search engines operate by searching for what you type in, not the topics as a whole.
Would the result change if you searched Google in Chinese?
This applies for the scientific articles. The news scrubbing is still disgusting.
Okay, so I've been thinking about this one myself too. Baidu might have different results But at the same time, you would think that at least mentioning the partnership involved would have happened more often than not.
And it wouldn't tickle me so hard if all of the English-speaking internet believed that all their shit was so fucking neutral. Like Wikipedia is the source of all human knowledge. But kind of ignoring the fact that it's from a completely colonial perspective, And all of their history and politics pages are written from a purely Western perspective.
Also, if anybody has any recommendations on reading Chinese internet in English or using tools or something, I'm very interested in pursuing it, but I haven't had the time to sit down and really study it. But if you send me some links, then I'll put them in my backlog and get to it later.
This article is quite strange. I remember learning in primary school that light moves slower through a medium than in a vacuum, same as everything else, so it's very strange to see a science article articulating that yes, primary schools physics.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the photon is not actually moving any slower, it just makes a longer way around stuff cause it is bouncing around therefore moving more, from what I could gather they made a maze for light with some properties that make the "bouncing" of the light lose less energy
It would be remarkable if, by the time I reach old age--hopefully surviving the collapse of the Western imperial core--advances in cryonics will allow for successful brain preservation. Then, perhaps one day in the very distant future, I could be resurrected and integrated into a machine, allowing me to enjoy life in a fully developed communist society.
