The moral of the story is, don't exchange messages electronically if you are expecting privacy. The only real private way of exchanging information is face-to-face in a private place.

I wonder if there is any correlation or causation between portrayal of the government in films and the actual impression of the government. To me it seems that U.S. likes to portray government in a negative way in films, and in real life a

Quick wikipedia yields this: It has been reported that, for example, when containers are shipped by a "direct train" from China to Europe, it is only containers, and not the railcars, which move from China's railway network

Interesting. How do you go about buying tickets for such trips?

by paradite 10y ago
For anyone looking for a quick answer, this is from the 4th paragraph in the article: While the train can carry about 200 containers, versus 20,000 on a large cargo vessel, the trip takes about half as long as a 30-day sailing between East

I think it is a social norm in the English speaking countries to not use real name on Internet forums. So I wouldn't call the use of nicknames or Internet handles examples of pseudonyms. Also, I have no intention of using this nickname

Wow, I totally didn't know that. I wonder if that would cause me to think differently about the Tencent's Riot Games purchase.

Well I am a living example to counter your assertion. I am a Chinese citizen who has NOT been required to submit my social media accounts (US ones: GitHub, twitter, Facebook or Chinese ones: weibo, renren) to the Chinese immigration in the

That does not make much difference to CIA or NSA to my knowledge. There are many ways to correlate pseudonymous with your real identity: IP address, usage pattern, speech pattern, or even patterns in the photos that you posted. That's

So would this lead to self-censorship on social media?

I disagree with that distinction. To be able to insult someone means that the person ends up in a state of being insulted. Any failure to do so would be a failed attempt at insulting which cannot be qualified as insulting.

by paradite 10y ago
Insults? You should be able to (and protected to) insult anyone you please, at any time. Insult has to be taken. Insult is never given. There is no right to not be offended, and there should never be one, because offense/insult happen

Yes and yes for you. Yes and no for me. Only the ones are subjected to the "censorship" may not like it. I am pretty sure what's going on in Chinese is also happening with CIA, FBI, MI6, etc. Ordinary people won't say th

Censorship and policies for countering fake news are not the same thing in China. The former is aimed at maintaining social stability and the latter is simply identifying the fake news and informing the public of the real situation. For cen

One thing I liked about Piwik was their API documentation. Short and simple, and the examples are using actual data, meaning you will get a url of that API returning the live data in your database for you to inspect, right from the document

I'm not too concerned about that since git is intrinsically a decentralized model. Even if github is gone, your local repos are still there and there's very little friction to migrate or push source code to other github alternativ

Sorry for the late reply. These topics warrant some face-to-face long night discussion or several tea sessions. I don't usually do it with strangers. However, I am sure if you become friends with any Chinese people in real life, they w

As a Chinese, I can see where you are coming from. It is true that Chinese people have this kind of "sentiments" as you described, as part of our culture. We don't go very far and establish colonies, we prefer stay close to o
