Of course it's about money! However the problem is because the situation in HK is not as straight forward as people think. I would recommend everyone watch this video before making any judgements or comments: https://www.you

I am gonna have to call BS on this report. Everyone knows that google including gmail is blocked in China, so why would they try to get a hold of their google oauth? Additionally, I just went onto one of the mentioned websites at random, tu

I used to really dislike django ORMs since I had a background in SQL and thought that ORMs are really constraining and not as flexible as just writing SQLs. However, recently I have come into the realisation that not everyone who programs k

Why is the UK legal system relevant here? Well, it's really not, but I am just comparing it to a legal system that I am familiar with, which is a bit of a joke as well; I am happy to hear how the legal system works where you are from i

Neither I nor any of my family have been tried in China (I am guessing you haven't either), so I cannot comment on the legal system, but in reality, the legal system in the UK is not perfect either. There was a really good book release

"Trapped by the white shirted locals", so then not by hired thugs? If locals would somehow trap "peaceful protesters" to beat them up, then man, HK must be a violent place!

I've been to both places, and I am fully aware that the system in Hong Kong is very different to that of the mainland, to the point where in certain aspects I see Hong Kong as a separate country (although things could have changed in t

Hired thugs? I assume you mean in Yuen Long right? Here is my question, do you know where Yuen Long is? It's quite far out of the city of Hong Kong (I mean the name has far in it). So the story goes that the "protesters" went

I have lived in the UK for over 20 years since I was 8, and I have to say I don't understand the Hong Kong riots. For starters, does any of you even know how it all started? The extradition bill? To do what? To extradite a Hong Kong te

Oh, it's even worse than that, they even have "Macau-Macao". Not only did they not know that Macau is a part of China, but they could not even spell "Macao" properly! From this, I would not even say it's due to

Unfortunately there are quite a few problems in the report: 1. it measures productivity by GDP, which itself is not a great measure 2. it compares Greece vs Germany, and fails to mention that they rely on completely different industries; Gr

Look, I completely understand what you are saying, because it's something I believe as well. However, what I am trying to find out more is whether this belief is correct or not and whether anyone has done any actual studies.

So a 40 hour work week does not mean 40 productive hours. Let's say that you are only truly productive at a flat rate of 40% of your work time, then 40 hour work week means 16 productive hours per week, whereas 996, 72 hours a week mea

The working hours is one thing. What I am most curious about is does more hours being put in mean more/better work output; ie does the 996 work culture actually means a higher output, even if by a slight margin? Personally my opinion i

For starters, did I condone any of them being justified? Me making a statement about Gauntanamo Bay does not automatically imply I am defending the re-education camps in China. So, here is a very basic lesson in maths: If a => b is true,
