China's millionares account for 0.015% [GapMinder] of china's population... The article over-states the ramifications, of them leaving. Economies are built on the backs of the middle/working class. The capitalists sitting at the top explo

War mongering ethnocentric bullshit. China are aggressive in what they believe is 'their' territory, and nothing else. They have no (modern) history of invading or even being involved in other conflicts around the world. Most [large] coun

The pentagons posturing on using force in retaliation to cyber attacks, would be a hard sell [to the public] to ever actually perform one of these retaliations... Especially with such a prominent target as China. Rather than an arms race in

I find the quality of javascript produced through coffeescript is much higher than devs who proclaim competency with javascript. Even the simple stuff (using closures properly, and '===') I've found a lot of devs while they have been 'train

Okay, pre-heroku, Capistrano, which again was a huge simplification on other deployment processes. How is rails more of a pain point than anything else? Deployment is always going to be a task that is required. Rails has for a long time

> Seems like you write a few little functions... Seriously? A very common problem in web apps is validation logic is usually duplicated in JS and Server side language. Node allows the same logic to be used in both cases. These are not

> many cases you're asking people to learn Ruby, Rails, HAML, SASS and/or Coffescript all at once now. As oppose to Ruby, Rails, ERB, CSS, and Javascript? - CSS is valid SASS - Coffeescript is closer to Ruby/Python than javascript and i

Wow, I stand corrected. Not quite the same as China's Propaganda Department, which vetts all media (great firewall is under it's control). Wow.

You can educate, without expressing specific details of the attackers. The usual practice is to warn of potential issues, not publicise a specific attack, and then say "beware!" -- In fact the article didn't even give the common advice of '

News constantly portraying non-western countries as 3rd world, or axis of evil? Or terrorists? For no better reason than their interests do not align with various western countries. Watch much of Fox News? Even if you don't, a lot of people

The Peoples daily article didn't deny the threat, it objected with the obvious implication google were making about the hacks originating from within the government. Why did google choose to publicise the event at all? surely that only tell

Most of the chinese people I have spoken with know most of the facts around Tienanmen square. It is the constant pro-communist propaganda that shapes their views. Just as constant pro-west propaganda shapes ours.

Interesting to see Chinese government (assuming this piece went through the usual vetting process of the propaganda dept) respond publicly to a companies blog. I often wonder why Baidu does not receive as much press, as it has experienced a

My understanding was the great firewall isn't so advanced. It is essentially a filter system, run in quite a manual fashion (i.e eyeballs on screens assessing if things should be blocked). I'm not refuting attacks originating from china, t

I see, so rather than actually discuss the points I make, just attack me as some chinese govt astro-turfer... wtf!? Just because I haven't commented before doesn't make my comment less valid... does it?

Easy to read western propaganda and jump to conclusions without viewing the whole picture. Of course the US hack the Chinese govt. Just because china don't publish accounts of attacks does not mean attacks are not occurring. We already kno
