into the darkness, but without getting lost by noteworthy at 10:05 pm EST, Nov 29, 2014 |
Economist: In a country where detailed maps are often regarded as state secrets (until recently many villages were not even marked on them), navigating by map is not a skill that many learn. As Peter Hessler, an American journalist, wrote in a 2010 book, "Country Driving", about his car journeys in China: "Even professional drivers with years of experience could be hopelessly confused by a simple atlas."
Andrew Ng: In China, some users are less sophisticated, and you get queries that you just wouldn't get in the United States. For example, we get queries like, "Hi Baidu, how are you? I ate noodles at a corner store last week and they were delicious. Do you think they're on sale this weekend?" That's the query.
Pope Francis: I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess. The structural and organizational reforms are secondary -- that is, they come afterward. The first reform must be the attitude. The ministers of the Gospel must be people who can warm the hearts of the people, who walk through the dark night with them, who know how to dialogue and to descend themselves into their people's night, into the darkness, but without getting lost. The bishops ... must be able to support the movements of God among their people with patience, so that no one is left behind. But they must also be able to accompany the flock that has a flair for finding new paths.
