@ nnoble: Not sure if threads you mention are really history. I didn't know that a certain number of thumbs-down could 'censor' (you mean remove?) a post - I don't think that's good either, but otherwise the thumbs function makes it easier to protest hissy-fits etc. and make it unnecessary to get into a long one with the offending poster, which will likely produce another post of the same nature - anyway, what alternative? The thumbs-down doesn't bother me and I read whatever I want to.
@ liumingke: If you agree, why do you say it is useless?
Seems to me spam should be dealt with by gokunming - such a button could well lead to legit posters disappearing posts that they didn't happen to like.
Seems to me the thumbs-down function is useful for application to posts that have nothing to do with the topic, for those that are only insulting weak-ego hissy-fits between posters, and/or things like outright racism etc. Better than anything similar to censorship.
Thumbs up for agreement with post.
I thought this was all about Cambodian visas....

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.

China initiates enormous Yangtze water diversion scheme
发布者Agree with Haali. Perhaps the major problem with managing 'nature' is our inability to manage ourselves, if we can't figure that out we'll be another species that evolution, 'naturally', will put on the scrap heap - but perhaps more interesting than most as, for example, the dinosaurs didn't go down the tubes simply because they couldn't get along with each other. If that happens, then whatever is left of 'nature' will struggle along as it has in the past, with whatever f*cked-up resources we leave to it.
Winter Is Coming - maybe.

发布者@Geezer: I think all species disrupt the former balance of nature, and it's difficult to figure out what such a balance might ever have been, or ever could be. Humanity has done this faster than other species, and to a greater extent, thanks to the idea of progress. I'm not attacking or defending progress here, just trying to figure out what the word refers to, or could/should refer to. The idea of the Dao is fine, but it's not very specific.

发布者Hey, look, I think it looks dodgy too, but are there any actual studies by people who know as to what the effects of this thing are likely to be?
