I moved to Asia for 5 months and found the same thing. I brought a big suitcase full of items, but probably only used a backpack full. I purchased local clothes (for cheap) that were better suited to the climate and everything else was eas

Really? Those two regions train individuals to terrorize Americans? How many such attacks have there been? What percentage of the population is even anti-American let alone involved in terrorism? The people there are trying to kill ALL

Are you intentionally being deceptive about this subject? Your original claim was "Middle class. Have you been there to see the 300+ million people that are now buying apartments, cars, make up, creams, designer clothes et al.?" Now we are

Safer is a broad term. In terms of lethal dose they would be safer. By the author's scale they are safer. Premature death would be a difficult one to study - as I don't know if there are as many regular users of shrooms/lsd as there are wi

You are crazy if you think there is a middle class of 300+ million in China right now. 1/3 of their population is not buying houses and cars. There is nowhere near 300 million cars in China to begin with. I have been there - and haven't s

I don't agree with HK and strongly disagree with Taiwan. If you erroneously include HK and Taiwan executives as "Chinese middle class", the tiny population of these regions still represent a tiny percentage of the area. Will there be a lar

Back in the day this would have been really cool for vanity hostnames when logging on to IRC. I imagine a few people that owned short hostnames for that purpose made a killing flipping them years later.

I can confirm the infomercial before you go up the elevator is VERY grating. However the whole day was amazing for me resulting from the aquarium visit right nearby the towers - the entrance is right where the picture of the towers is taken

I think the Quora example does give off a bad vibe. a) We are a Quora for the enterprise b) We are Youtube for audio Quora for the enterprise sounds like a superset. Quora, plus enterprisey features. Quora could compete, their core compet
