hi olavgg, I was searching for fast fsync & low cost NVMe SSD a few months ago, so I looked into consumer NVMe SSDs. Samsung 960 Pro was the first I tested, the results were just shockingly bad. It was so bad to the extent that I starte

many NVMe drives on the market are useless jokes. try some from the now biggest semiconductor company, test their fsync() performance and don't get a heart attack for seeing those ugly numbers. ;)

no one ever denied the fact of internet censorship in China. the point is that the biggest impact of GFW is the block of sites like Google/fb/twitter and its largely for protectionism. blocking WSJ is bad, really bad, but let&#x27

So far, most of my comments regarding those "criticizing/questioning" China stuff are mostly about the censorship/GFW, because I strongly believe the GFW is a protectionism tool to protect and grew the Chinese Internet s

Shanghai has the lowest demand in all tier-1 cities in China. It is reflected in its relatively low prices/rent compared with Beijing and Shenzhen. The yield is pretty much the same: each ￥10m RMB generating only 10-12k RMB rent per mo
