I've only read Chiang's, "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling" which was up for a Hugo a few years ago. I voted against it since it was bland. Are any of his other stories better?
Oh they are doing a terrible job. And one of the reasons I don't use a platform that thinks its ok to name groups things straight out of "Fahrenheit 451".
As someone points out Copernicus was not killed. And it illustrates the problem of FB putting its finger on the scales. Ever.
Twitter where free speech isn't. There will be replacements and Twitter knows it.
What on Earth are you talking about. Let's presume you are right and Turkey wasn't being kept out for things like, oh as another pointed out, an occupation of Turkey and Cyprus, how does blocking them from joining the…

The abstract, despite the clear results, is written in the most hostile manner possible.
No, its him being a smart ass. He has never received that email but it allows him to straw man any opponents. Because @!#!$$!@ love science!
Which is why I linked directly to a NY Times peace that gives a fairly balanced discussion of the same. And it is not fair to claim that it was, "only loosely disguised as reasons of science." The reasons given, in both…
I didn't find it a joke and the votes indicate others took it seriously (down votes are serious).
