In this case, maybe using a software or firmware virus could be a better way? Easy to install, easy to remove, leaves no evidence if be careful. This got me thinking, why plant a chip? I mean, it's hard to make, and will almost certain

Why don't you guys consider to expose this by suing the bad manufacturer? I believe this could help other truely honest manufacturers both in and outside China to beat the wrong doers.

I think as far as current tech goes, even if some body gets 100% cloned, their mind (data in the brain) would still be different. That of course is when The 6th Day[0] (Brain data copy + clone) will never become a reality. Here is a video

Let me guess. Did you just been triggered by the $2 a week diet thing? Then don't be, I'm actually not very proud of it. I did it from time to time for about few weeks so I can quickly lose my belly fat. And I don't like it a

Then I'm glad you have escaped from all those problems :) BTW: The population is the total number.

Chenzhou: Population (2001): 4,559,600; GDP (2015): ￥201 billion. For comparison, Our city: Population (2017): 1,700,000; GDP(2017): less than ￥120b. I've searched the price of fast food restaurants in your city, the result: https:&#x

I think what the government is trying to do is to increase people's income, so it can match the level of housing bubble. Many people think it's a goal that is to hard to reach in time (year 2025 or so), but the overall direction i

It's rather a regulation, not law. And I don't think it's apply to your case, because the regulation I mentioned above only limit recent transactions. That is, if you brought a house, from the time of the purchase, you can&#x

Actually, before the trade gone bad, many local governments in China already installed some limits on the housing bubble. For example, in some place, you can only buy house, but unable to sell it. This will limit how many money can flood ba

The thing is, in China, you are not just married with the person you in love with, you also married to the family of that person. (And at the same time, that person is married to your family as well) I remember when my colleagues was talkin

Funny. Why you guys think China is Communists? As a Chinese myself, in my eyes, the whole Communism thing is nothing more than a gimmick. A gimmick to keep public calm while the top heads fighting for domination at the back side of the TV c

There are difference between backing and acquiring. Plus, GitLab is open sourced and self-hostable. If Google wants to throw some of their money on something that end user can fully control, then why not be happy about it?

How about I put it this way: Tech companies (at least in the beginning) didn't realize how easy it is to turn some people into mobs. Also notice, I'm not saying people are stupid so don't blame the business model. I rather go

Create news, hope GIMP can use that money to work out a better and intuitive design. For example, currently, many Filters don't have previews (Or the preview window is too small), which make apply them become a slow try and error game.
