It's going to fail. You can't reach industrial scales like this. These things need maintenance and that isn't going to be cheap on a shipping container moving slowly around the globe.

No. How exactly are the videos of the Chinese and Canadian riots comparable? The most the Canadians rioters are destroying stuff. The Chinese are barely seen damaging anything.

According to the latest reports surfacing it started with a fight in between 10 workers from different production lines involving a guard somehow. It is already mid day in China and no one know what the exact story is. Maybe more accurate t

I'm talking a lot less professional than SME. More like the equivalent to a lemonade stand in the manufacturing world. Those businesses won't make it inland without some logistics miracle. If you are involved you know what I mean.

It's entertainment. From my experience in China I've rarely seen a news channel over a movie. Traditional kung fu style movies are the most common amongst the older population.

Wow. Amazing. Just like my personal experience in China. Now what's up with all the articles on China today?

Thanks.

The inland factories are not the same type of low value factories that covered the coastal regions. Those factories depend on low labour costs and low logistics cost to be able to produce tons of junk; to be sent all around the world and so

Note: I'm using the term skill from a manufacturer's POV as being something that can not be simply done by a machine. Whether that is R&D or creativity as part of a manufacturing process. It is obvious they feel underpaid. It is their i

So much China discussion today. "Suffice it to say that a large swath of manufacturers in coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu has not been able to attract and retain workers." Actually what is happening is these regio

Ok, I accept your second point. Regarding the first... If there was an unskilled labour that, by itself could produce $100/day profit for a majority of people, then you wouldn't have any $10/day labourers. This $100/day profit is only possi

I don't think you are understanding me correctly. Maybe you understand mob mentality differently to I. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_mentality Watch the video of this riot ( http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDUzOTYzMzQ0.html ) and tell

Hahaha... You should look at the anti-Japan riots videos from the past month. My not so clear point was that the Chinese riots have a lot less hooligans. When one talks of Chinese riots one should not imagine they are behaving like football

How are they underpaid? Are you suggesting they would be making more money fulfilling a local economic need with similar skills and risks? China's economic growth is due to an oversupply of unskilled labour that are able to be trained at a

The Chinese have a mob mentality. They themselves don't even know what they are rioting about, most the time. The internet is learning that it is about an accident in between a guard and a worker at 10pm. Trust me, the internet is learning

Chinese factory labour is a very different demographic to what the west had. A majority of Chinese factories workers come from China's 50% rural population where the children are raised by the grandparents in exchange for ~30% of the parent

No. If any affect was caused it would be made up with overtime in the next shift. If they need to they would pay bonuses. The few dollars extra verses a loss in sales due to no stock in stores...

Chinese riots are like Chinese night clubs. Boring and dull. Example: Anti-Japan riots. 1000s of Chinese. One Lexus. Barely any damage even using hammers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKnuILXFVZI&feature=relat...

The far east seems more likely to explode. If you have been following the news going on in that region. China/Taiwan vs Japan (Islands) Hong Kong vs China (British Hong Kong flag and related anti-PRC demonstrations) South Korea vs North Ko

Is access to facebook harder to get in Iran than China? In China you can see ads everywhere selling VPNs that enable access to facebook. You can even get permission from the government for business to gain access to unfiltered internet. Som

I'd assume they don't like getting shot. A lot of Iranians have left the country especially in the past three years. I recently met a Jewish Iranian couple, who left Iran 10 days after their wedding, because the Iranian government confiscat

What is your average latency to your server? What is the maximum tolerable latency you can continue working normally? Do you use tools like mosh?

Most people are "meh" only those involved somehow care. These are really small issues. If you were no one and got into a car crash no one would care. If you are the son of someone important to the federal government no one would be allowed

China is very densely built. They're building metros under all their major cities.

by shimon_e 14y ago
One reason why it's a clear cut no: latency. Maybe for file servers but not for operating system and application files. Expect always to have a few GBs accessible by wire (even if one day it is included in the SOC).

No as they need 30+ variants of the fonts to support everything right now and Google customizes them on the basis of user agent. Hopefully in the future it will be a lot more simpler.
