Buy a solar water heater. I live in a climate that varies between -20 and 35 degrees, and this solar water heater has worked consistently for 10 years over these temperature ranges. It is, essentially, some glass pipes attached to a tank

Ah, thanks, quite a nice name, perhaps, thanks for your child comment to the Wikipedia article for some background. Translated as.. > a metaphor for the "primordial world, primeval chaos" in Chinese creation myths. > "M

Hongmeng? 'Hong' as in 'red' and 'Meng' as in 'dream' ? That's quite a name!

Hmmm.. ok.. I could and should write something on this a lot longer. The government facilitate corruption. The government is a hegemony. Aside from that broad shot, 10 years ago you enter the aforementioned square freely, not only after go

Could be, I don't know. 50,000 is a village in these contexts! I'd really like to explore India, it is, also, vast.

I pinged recapture.net and got a 50ms response time. Baidu would give a 20ms response time. That's on WiFi. That leads me to think the server responding to these pings is in certainly in mainland China, I think in Alibaba's IP

You're correct, quite a lot of things are not accessible in the most populous country in the world. However, federated things are accessible. The big names Facebook/Twitter/Youtube/Google are blocked, and the services b

The photos or voice still needs to come from from somewhere. The somewhere is google.com. The .com is blocked.

reCAPTCHA does not work in China mainland (it does in HK, but that's different for now). But translate.google.cn (note the .cn) works fine. Similar visual recaptchs used on Chinese services tend to focus on Chinese characters on a lo

reCAPTCHA also just doesn't work in the most populous country in the world. translate.google.cn does, but Google's reCAPTCHA does not. This is a big pain point. Thanks for the link to turingtest, I will certainly test it.

Not only a profit center, but an outsourced pollution center. F500 CEOs outsource pollution to China.

It depends on the bus! In my local city in China, for example: The BRT stops every 2km or so, and runs on dedicated lanes. The tram stops every 1km or so, no variation downtown or out of town. The 5 buses and 6 * buses tend to be long di

I don't know about Russia or Japan. For China, there are clusters around key universities and their satellites, and spin-offs from those satellites either directly/partially owned or from alumni. But it's haphazard. Most un

Yes. 'Fake Agile' is a term. But I think this is global. It is hard to find Linux/Unix people. Those that develop the skillset are hot property for the BATs. Universities universally use Windows as a platform (students bri

Overtime in mainland China is hard-ceilinged at 36 hours per month (1.5 hours per day...). Beyond that is illegal, which is likely in large part why 996 companies don't like the spotlight in the current 'who knows' game of w

Yes, and no. IT development is one of the best paying professional jobs in China, commanding 3x to 8x a typical office worker's salary. If you have skills, experience, or for a fresh graduate an interest, in what in the US would be con

To block the 996 Github presence on Github would mean to block Github, as Github is served via HTTPS. That's not viable as Github is far too useful to block (IIRC it and StackOverflow were blocked a couple of years ago but then unbloc
