The issue is when someone is paying a premium price for something like BMW, why should the person bear the potential risk of having the quality negatively affected because this infamous Brilliance Auto is suddenly involved. I don't h

Most of those annoying and stupid individuals are from the so called China's Lost Generation. I found the following video made by two westerners explains the reasons in a pretty accurate way. https://www.youtube.com/wat

Detroit had this extreme weather of almost -30°C, it is just scary to even think about that. Liaoning has the same issue with the lowest on record being -34°C. If you are interested in the North-East part of China, there is a western travel

The joint venture is called BMW Brilliance, with the local partner being Brilliance Auto, which is arguably the worst of the worst Chinese automobile companies. I'd personally try everything possible to avoid anything from that Brillia

No, it is not great. It is more like Detroit in the US - bad weather, high unemployment rate and crime rate, dead heavy industry, huge outflow of its local population. If Shenyang is great, how come its population is dropping so fast?

what is the motivation for ISP to do that? if it is because FB signed deal with the ISP and covering the costs for those traffic out of its own pocket, what is the problem here? Friendster should offer something to match such deal and bring

what do you mean by limited access? if it is all about paying for the traffic required to use those services rather than getting unmetered access, I don't see any problem here. You pay for what you use/want. Internet is never free

what a joke. the "hydro plant" generates electricity, noisy or not, at least there is some benefit. Internet and cell phone network is available in like 99% of Chinese towns. Do you have any evidence showing it was the mining of b

such "free data" thing is popular in some developed countries as well, e.g. Australia. It is just business promotion, has nothing to do with net neutrality. With or without net neutrality, new/smaller services can not complet

if that mine wasn't there - people, actually poor people, living next to those mines won't hear those noise 24/7. they don't need to witness the greedy saw in those photos/videos. the depressing town is still goin

the same can be said for anything related to promotion. new comers can not afford to play their ads on TV, they don't have money to show their name during super bowl.

For me, the really sad fact here is that they picked that place to run their bitcoin mine because the electricity there is cheap, but what that poor place can benefit from those mines after providing them with such more affordable energy? I

ISPs around the world are the same, they are commercial companies to make $, it signed an exclusive agreement with A because B/C refused to match the conditions put forward by A. Are you suggesting that ISPs are knocking back better $

"is it possible to trust anything that passes through the great firewall of China?"? You do realize that your comments above just past through GFW and I am reading it on the other side of the GFW? To answer your question, no, I do

Using that logic, Chinese should cite national security concerns and ban Intel processor, Apple devices or simply anything comes with a US made/designed chip from all those so called "sensitive" government departments. Oh, le

You forgot to mention the wannacry attack with the tool that can be traced back to NSA.

No, I disagree. For your mentioned services B and C for which you are subscriber, you have been paying for the data usage, you are free to use them in the future with the exact same conditions/charges. If A enters some agreements with

I don't see how providing unmetered Spotify is "forcing" any Apple Music / Google Play Music subscriber to switch. You can freely choose to ignore the unmetered services and continue to use whatever other services you ch

finally we got something in agreement - stop representing other people. US should stop pretending to be the rule maker for the Internet because it is _not_.

then you tell me how Alipay is a national security threat to the US according to US lawmakers. https://www.ft.com/content/193bbffc-38af-11e7-821a-6027b8a20... please don't bother mentioning the minority stake from

No, US lawmakers have been actively trying to stop Alipay from having any meaningful presence in the US. They called it a national security threat. It is all over the news. https://www.ft.com/content/193bbffc-38af-11e7-

Why Americans can't stop its own isolation and start learning how to use Alipay/WeChat?

Last time when I checked, there are 730 million Chinese users who mostly don't use _any_ US Internet services, their switches and servers are made/operated in China mostly by Huawei and ZTE. It is also laughable to believe that US

There are some interesting numbers there on the "memory subsystem: bandwidth" page. Basically Skylake-SP has a pretty low single thread bandwidth (12G/sec) to start with, that is just 40% of what you can get using a single pi
