   Have you considered the possibility that low corruption in the U.S. is partly attributed to the widespread practice of lobbying and political donations, which serve essentially the same purpose as corruption but not counted as corruption? (

   Make no mistakes I have my own bias. But the more interesting point to consider is that, as the article points out, Chinese government is actively trying to build trust with the people. Yes, every government tries to do that, but not many a

   I worked with the author of this post on the said project. I am the guy that wrote most of the angular 2 stuff before the author joined the front-end (from back-end). Here are some of the posts about my (not so negative) experience. I hope

   With all respect: I completely disagree.

   Well that's the exact same argument conspiracy theorists use in defending censorship in China, to guard against information warfare.

    Oh no, I am so interested in this but the demo is not loading. Why not host it using GitHub pages instead of your own server to handle more traffic?

    Very interesting and fascinating response for me. I wish I had more of discussions like this here.

    It is a good use of reduce (accumulate as I call it), but maybe slightly overkill for this case compared to a simple iteration or a max function.

    I understand you point on freedom of speech, but in this case I don't see it as something to be particularly proud of. Maybe Americans value their rights more than anything else, but to me as a Chinese citizen, this is both laughable a

    Yes, Germany is doing great. Not sure about US and Japan though. The last time I heard, Japanese is trying to modify their textbook to downplay its involvement in WW2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_history_text

    I don't understand why every single discussion about China has to touch this issue and this is the first thing people do when they visit China. Do you talk to Germans by starting off discussing how Hitler killed millions of people? Do

    I think this is a good guide for brushing up css knowledge before interviews. But for actual coding people would still Google for css-tricks or stackoverflow because Googling is faster than opening this website and searching.

    I am not sure what's the use case for this. For deployment of small web apps, you have heroku, GAE and now, all of which offer "permanent" hosting.

    I have commented on this issue several times here on HN. I have 3 main points on why censorship can be justified in the context of China: preventing spread of rumours, unique culture background which values stability more than anything else

    That is some very extreme words you are using. I would caution you not to use those words lightly unless you are absolutely sure they are backed up with facts.

    Nowadays the means of keeping contact information when making new friends is whatsapp or facebook. So yes, this would not be a problem for now, but it would be in a few years when mobile numbers become really obsolete (hopefully not).
