Any sources on these? If they are that unreliable, how are they working so well in China? Of a few cities I have been to in the past few years, their taxi and buses have gone all electric. The whole city relies on them, I seriously doubt th

Search result is now flooded with this news. Nothing on Wiki either. What exactly are you talking about? Any keywords?

Thank you. Correlation != Causation, but I guess logic doesn’t apply when it comes to anything China related discussion here. Saying that, this is still an ridiculously outdated law, 10 years sentence seems rediciculous.

Not saying the price is not outrageous but I found it ironic that you spec maniacs can’t tell the difference between a sata ssd vs pcie ssd. You will be hard pressed to find retail ssd that’s remotely close to the performance in these new m

I am sorry but your comment is dumb on so many levels. You do know HK is directly connected to mainland China, right? No bridge is needed if they want tanks over there.

How do you know it didn't happen before? And also, I found blaming everything on Russia is really funny. I mean, yes, they leaked the info and probably changed the course of the history, but it's not like they made up false inform

How so? When you count viewership, of course they will combine number of viewers from each match, considering most of the viewers will tune in for just a few matches. This is common sense, I don't think there is anything suspicious abo

I don't get the point, those are hardly the only countries watch world cup. For a event like world cup final, it's the single most important match in 4 years. It won't just attract fans from the countries that are in the fina

> The same package cost ESPN just $100 million for the previous two World Cups, in 2010 and 2014 It's clear the TV broadcasting price has jumped rapidly over the years. You can't compare the current revenue with a future deal.

Why would you need both of them running at the same time though? Also, unless you are on Linux, you probably don't need both of these two VMs. Lastly, I don't quite understand why any serious developer would want to run their dev

I never understood the criticism over one child policy. Had it not been for that policy, the population of China could well be over 2 billion by now. Is this something the rest of the world wanted? Sure it's cruel and not fair to some

I don't know. Are you sure you didn't violate any other rules? The Verge might be close to Apple, but I doubt you'd get banned just because of that.

"Salary offerings are lower by a factor of 10", compared to where? A decent freshly graduated developer in Shanghai can easily make 1.5-2k USD a month. Where you do get 10 times more than that?
