moral failure? I got a long list of solution for the British government: 1. not to fight the Opium War and sell Opium in the first place. 2. not to invade other country on the other side of the world. 3. not to pretend to be a dominant pow

two German revolutions, one probably okay/good, while the other one was a total disaster for the entire humanity. with this in mind, I'd probably argue that revolution is bad in general. I do agree that it is always good for some

The claims I was referring to are highly inaccurate: 1. shadowsocks is a good example that certain vpn/proxy can survive after becoming popular. 2. GFW blocks sites/pages/connections based on content, it has been doing this

That is not true. It is a well know fact that the Great Fire wall does deep packet inspection since early 2000s, e.g. when google was still available in China, your connection got stopped for a few minutes every time when you search for som

vpn that can unblock all those web site can be purchased for $15/year. ironically, you don't get comparable Internet speed or cost (my 200mbps Internet costs me $180/year, or I can upgrade it to 500mbps for $400/year) in

Using wikipedia data, Falcon 9 has 20% less weight when it is in the reusable mode, at the same time its LEO/GTO payload capacity is better. I don't think those two are on the same level, Falcon 9 is THE state of the art while GSL
