   It doesn't seem twisted at all to me. These operations are forced to exist in non-safe locations because of prohibition. I think the current laws are just as responsible for these explosions as they are for the hashish you find cut with sho

   Hmm, here I thought I was gonna get a $600 US-China flight+, but looks like their international options are rather limited.

   How about a gradual social revolution? Do you prefer that your social changes occur in short, violent bursts, or would you rather have them spread out over a long period of time?

   I was in the market for a new phone recently and was considering the new iPhone. Pieces like this were a big factor in my decision to give my money to Motorola instead (I got a shiny new Ming and absolutely love it).

   Gotos aren't necessarily bad - for example when you have a large amount of nested loops and need to break out of a certain number of them.

    Karma for introducing me to the term Overton window. And I do agree with you that we should encourage China to continue to liberalize. I just wanted to try to offset what I feel is a somewhat one-sided view of the Chinese situation. I'd als

    'Chinese people deserve better.' Really, what business is this of yours? I feel like Westerners are always looking down their noses at the Chinese political situation but people don't seem to take into account China's historical context. Ch

    I can't imagine that it's harder to bribe people in China than in the USA. In fact, I think much, much more bribery per capita happens in China than in the US. The Chinese legal system is very weak.

    I'm using a US proxy - in China - and somehow Hulu is still blocking me: 'Sorry, we are unable to stream this video. Please check your internet connection and try again.' How does Hulu know?

    I like that analogy. It's interesting that we focused on different aspects of the quality of pirated goods. You assumed illegal copies are of worse quality than the original - and this can be true: that copy of Photoshop you grabbed illegal

    I feel like, fundamentally, the problem of piracy with digital goods is something like this: I'm a wheat merchant. My store is located 10 minutes outside of town and I give people a fixed amount wheat in exchange for money. But one day ther

    Thank you for making this point. This happens to be the position on the economic ladder where these people are. A few people are higher, most people are at a level equal or lower to this. In some ways I feel like the tone pieces like this t

    I live in Beijing. You would have to pay me to own a car here. The traffic absolutely terrifies me. I'm aso pretty certain renting (i.e. using a taxi here all the time) is cheaper than owning in this case. And who doesn't like being chauffe

    I wasn't actually looking for the cheaper phone. Before I made the purchase, someone else pointed out to me the hardware difference - lack of 3G, wifi, and screen resolution - I didn't see how they were selling points. Having used a friend'

    I guess I just don't get it. I was recently in the market for a cellphone and with a $200-300 budget I was choosing between the new iPhone and an A1600 Motorola Ming. I ended up shelling out about $250 for the Ming for several reasons: 1) T

    I'm consistently amazed by how much power the telecom companies have in the US. I'm living in China, where they use SIM cards, and I just bought my phone and accompanying phone number completely anonymously, using cash only. When I recharge
