The reality in china - there is a huge underemployed class of people. But real estate is still cheap. In Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and some other countries, housing is expensive, but the rest of china is still cheap, even for locals. So I

You´ve not been social engineered - you´ve received a post that was personalised for you. I don´t write to gain twitter followers - I really don´t care - but in order to test my theory, I needed some type of metric, and that seemed like a r

Well, I'll be damned. If you hit me with one more of these, I will be forced to revise my opinion, which I absolutely hate to do.

Yes, but if you had been releasign quickly, by now you know your consumers, you have a mailing list, you know what they want, and you can add your snazzy graphics for an existent userbase. Work for months AFTER you have tested your concept

App store review at the moment takes about 3 days. And even when it took 2 weeks, this is not a big problem. Iterating faster than two weeks would be annoying to your users - imaging have to constantly sync a new app every second day, and n

Nobody should work for months on an iPhone app. The platform is not friendly to that style of app. Work for weeks, launch and test.

Who do you want to help? Human beings? Animals? Plants? Progress? Life in General? Exploring? What is a good cause for you?

This is the problem with modern thinking. You don't realise that in order to know your enemy, you have to be your enemy.

If you want to start bringing in an old and discredited system into the argument, then I can start bringing in slavery and so on. We're talking about modern china, not Mao Zedong china. Are you going to go on next about the illegal wall aga

I dare you to remove Obama. I dare you and a thousand of your friends to remove Obama. You can't. Your voice is useless. In the elite system, let's say there are 1000 people who belong to this elite class. If 10 of them start agitating agai

And you don't think that the United States has a similar elite? Successful societies have a leadership class that is based of some type of non-hereditary merit : for example wealth, education or intelligence. A lot of unsuccessful societies

Obviously being in the party does not mean you are in the ruling class. But to be in the ruling class, you have to be part of the party, and the criteria to get in the party will already filter out a lot of the idiots that have destroyed so

Given the choice between Chinese or Indian or Phillipino citizenshup, I would take chinese. I would not give up my current citizenship simply because of travel opportunity: western countries don't want people from poorer countries entering

I am not advocating dictatorship or one-man rule. I am advocating a planned economy and a burocratic system at the top, where a cadre of leaders plan and decide how progress should happen. Be clear on that - single leader dictatorships are

See my comment below on the state of India. The lower classes of india have it much much worse than the lower classes of China.

India has low classes, untouchables and terrible Ghettos. China does not. India has war, border clashes and terrorism, china does not. India has people publicly saying that all muslims should be killed, china does not. India has people bein

I personally have been to the U.S and to China, and I am going back to live in china for a few years. I enjoyed china a lot more than the U.S.

I may be wrong, but I support the chinese system of enforced social harmony. China has a billion people, and a huge number of those people are not living by a particularly high standard compared to people in the west. Chinas system is forci

That affiliate link just kinda kills it for me. And no, you often do not get what you pay for. A lot of ebook peddlers will take your money and give you some really crappy stuff. I've never bought them, but I've taken them off bittorrent an

I have been an iPhone user since whenever the first one came out. I now own an iPhone 3GS. I recently (3 weeks ago) bought and tried my very first android phone (with OS 1.6) I have really never been so disappointed in my life. This thing i

Some percentage of people are reactively contrarian. Having these people around is useful because then there is always a representative of the unpopular opinion. Having to deal with both extremes will lead to a more stable end-solution. An

That's too exciting for me - too many exclamation marks and too much love for my surly old brain to handle. One more balsamiq article and my mental backlash against all things popular will start. I love the underdog, but not the frontrunner

You know what would be cool? If it could send me a summary of what my script told it. For example, I do batch sending of emails every 10 minutes. It should tell me at the end of the day: Sent 120 emails. 3 emails failed, they are max@max.co

I don't think facebook has an interest in that - twitter is filtered rss. Friend filtered RSS. If more people would post links and less "Good morning!" then it would be more interesting.

What about I want to see what Linode vs Slicehost are up to, even though I am at Dreamhost? I would just like to follow them for a while while, get a feel of who they are before deciding. Not 'support' or 'fan' them. Facebook should change

I just don't get the utility of twitter for business. I see one great use for twitter, which is what I am using it for right now: Get major influencers to follow you. When you do that, you have a good chance to be republished by one of them

Facebook is still a personal sphere, but some business do belong in my personal sphere. I'd probably not want your business in my facebook stream, since I don't use you, but there is this artist I know who often makes print that can be boug

Those are exactly my thoughts - facebook is a lot more involved with the user, and so an interaction between user and business would be more personal, more viral and with a lot more info about your users. I tried using twitter for business
