I was at a small Sichuan mountain village wedding a few weeks back. Several "exotic" dancers and the village drag queen and a magician. All locals. Great performances. The most fun I've had at a Chinese weeding ;)

A Georgia LLC can choose to have some or all of its net income left in the company and taxed as C-Corp with the remainder distributed to shareholders as S-Corp. Its very flexible and there is no preset position. You look at your cash posi

Your post is very rude. I don't always agree with 'tptacek or anyone else, even some of my own past comments. However, I have seen enough of his comments to know I'd be happy to have a beer with the man. If Thomas is a nutjob in your min

My son's home from school when I see this. We try out a few examples, starting with those in the videos. Then we do a few more...and then we do: 13 x 23. I'm obviously missing something hidden in this method, as our result, 416...fail ;(

I've only been playing with openresty for a couple of months. Here's what I've learned: 1 - openresty is nginx and many official and unofficial modules. From what I've asked the experts, there is supposed to be no difference in the source

When I go to https://google.com/history while logged into my google mail account, I get redirected to https://www.google.com/ The redirected Google home page clearly shows me as logged in. Am I doing it wrong?

Apple takes a 30% rake on all app sales. The customer buys from Apple's store and only Apple's store. It is very reasonable that many would expect Apple is providing value above and beyond the 2 to 5% rake a credit card company provides f

Not sure about China. They do avoid IP rules but for purposes of bringing things under Chinese companies. Once these companies have enough value to protect in their IP (regardless of how they came to have it), they tend to look to their g

nah...even many public schools are allowed to balance themselves for diversity. If there is evidence that schools are being racist (the ugly side of the term), this is one thing. But I haven't seen evidence of this. They seem to be try

I agree, except with your OSM component. I'm not sure it matters that OSM is non-profit. They still can produce similar effects as a for-profit version.

All I want: Smalltalk with tail recursion and a process model like erlang (implies immutable values).

Many years ago someone gave me a self help tape..yeah a cassette ;). The only thing I recall is the speaker telling a story about him being woken up early in the morning by his father to go work on the family farm. As a boy, he would so

You can solve this problem by either chipping away at it by targeting one company and pushing forward a bit or by getting the China and U.S. governments to handle it for all. Both approaches are reasonable. You have to start somewhere.

perhaps. I enjoy watching the evolution of bitcoin. But I don't see the U.S. gov playing along.

Good brain dump. This though: Bitcoin - "Let the IRS/FEDs be involved and stick to the law." You need to file under Things that will never happen . The U.S. will not permit a rogue currency .

I run my own server for over 6 years at an IDC in San Diego. The hosting is managed by http://m5hosting.com/ and I think they are fantastic. Would I do it again given the abundance of VPS options today? Possibly. There are only two rea

Good info. I learned this years ago from my great-grandmother. She took a nap every afternoon for 20 to 25 minutes. Now, living in Chengdu, office workers here are encouraged to nap after lunch time, around 2. At my wife's office, there

This is not just about media companies. SOPA is part of a barrier to blockade anything that may violate any Intellectual Property. This includes selling pharmaceuticals from Canada, edge case property violations like a handbag that looks

You can do this with many types of jobs in many locales. Pay better, treat them right, and cherry pick the best talent.

They get an above average salary by local standards. I wouldn't call this decent. I'm not calling out Apple's manufacturing partners here, whom are better than most, just making the situation more clear. edit: As to "huge bribes to midd

There are multiple facets to the GWF's raison d'être. Most touched on in this thread. One area not given much voice is China's desire to handle legal issues in its domain. If you want a web site in China, you have to have a person (usual

I don't know Mr. Shi, but I might make a similar comment. Allow me to explain why I think this is reasonable from my context of having spent more than a decade working in the China IT community. There are many differences between a China I

My position on mongo is thus: Its goal is humongous data sets, hence the name. Until well proven, I'm not the type to use it for huge data, but will keep an eye out for case studies. I have used Mongo on two projects with reasonably small

The http://blog.jeffepstein.me/post/14629857835/a-step-by-step-g... link you mention needs extra attention. I just moved my final domain from godaddy to namecheap last night. I didn't have this tutorial at the time, but this is the proc

Your "Why the JVM" info is solid. Your argument starts with "Joining the number #1 virtual machine with the number #1 language for getting things done is an easy choice." I will assert that Smalltalk is the #1 lang for getting things done

Don't see your update yet. But telling me that redline is running on JVM bytecode, is on its own, only mildly interesting. What evidence/argument do you have that Smalltalk without a traditional Smalltalk dev environment is any more inter
