发帖数: 6300 | 1 1 Fake People Make For Easy Simulations
Even if computers get vastly more powerful, the universe might seem much too
complex to fit in one. Each of the seven billion people currently alive is
complex enough to rival any computer imaginable. And we’re an infinitesimal
part of a vast universe, which contains billions of galaxies besides ours.
It would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to take into account
that many variables.
But a simulated world needn’t be anywhere as complex as it see... 阅读全帖 |

Master Shōgen【松源】said, “Why is it that a man of great strength does
not lift up his leg?” He also said, “It is not with the tongue that we

-----
So what does Shōgen mean when he says that a man of great strength does not

《我的师承》里，王小波如是
小时候，有一次我哥哥给我念过查良铮先生译的《青铜骑士》：
我爱你，彼得兴建的大城，
我爱你严肃整齐的面容，
涅瓦河的水流多么庄严，
大理石铺在它的两岸……
他还告诉我说，这是雍容华贵的英雄体诗，是最好的文字。相比之下，另一位先生译的
《青铜骑士》就不够好：
我爱你彼得的营造
我爱你庄严的外貌……
现在我明白，后一位先生准是东北人，他的译诗带有二人转的调子，和查先生的译诗相
比，高下立判。那一年我十五岁，就懂得了什么样的文字才能叫做好。
这两首的好坏，其实就是韵律和节奏的分别。

【新唐人2011年3月8日讯】最近，北京市政府推出新的楼市调控政策——“京十五条”
。针对这一被称为“史上最严厉”的房产新规，经济学家茅于轼提议，生活在北京的年
轻人先不要买房，他谈到，20年后，房屋会大量剩馀、大幅降价。下面请看报导。
北京市推出的“京十五条”，是继青岛、上海、济南、成都后，全国第5个针对国务院
“新国八条”的实施细则。“京十五条”特别规定：外地人必须在北京连续纳税5年才
能购房。
这项措施遭到各界质疑，网民认为北京歧视与排斥外来人员，相当于是宣布：“北京不
欢迎外地人。”北京天则经济研究所所长茅于轼指出，这项「限购令」，是短视的计划
经济政策，不能从根本上解决问题。
茅于轼：“如果是限制大家买房，我觉得这个办法是错误的，回到计划经济了，钱要能

有它的原因，因为北京市房价太高、有泡沫，但是解决这个问题的办法不是用限制购买
