The post is dated May 4, 2019, so "(2019)" should probably be in the title.

I remember talking to someone in Cuba in 2014 and learning that it's common for folks to buy black-market DVDs containing scraped copies of major news outlets and parts of Wikipedia. I wonder what the spectrum of weird hacks of that nature are going on in China beyond just a VPN solution.

I have software engineer co-workers who have to battle the nightmare caused by the Great Chinese Firewall everyday and they are sick of living in China ... personally I could not stand working there either ... one day this will change
