Do you have numbers that say that 90%+ hacks come from Hong Kong? I mean I run rather popular websites with a lot of traffic in the US, EU and Asia and I don't see that. I do see that with traffic from China (but then blocking ASN from

As someone living in Hong Kong I hate cloudflare. Way too many websites behind cloudflare block hong kong or cause me to have a captcha. This causes me to often route my traffic to my own vpn to counter that which is really annoying. At lea

Unfortunately the food is rather bad for the price (at least in the Paris branch). So it's a fun experience but you end up eating food that's barely better than cafeteria food at the price of a fine dining restaurant... I was real

What's ironic is that my experience of Cloudflare Sales is that they take advantage of any downtime from their competitor to try and get people to migrate to their services... Beyond scummy

At 35, I'm still deeply bothered by that sound. Slightly related but in a lot of parts of Ginza in Tokyo, they use a similar sound for repelling rats that I find extremely uncomfortable...

It was the brutal killing of a HK girl not a Taiwan girl. The murderer killed his girlfriend while traveling to Taiwan for Valentine Day. Also Taiwan's government has explicitly stated that this bill is not needed to bring the murderer

The thing though is that until recently, one could argue that China was going in the right direction... The liberal faction was much more tolerable to HKers... The current government with Xi Jinping is a relapse to a more despotic regimes..

Chairman Mao is not revered by educated mainlanders.. It's not hard to find people criticizing him and it's not even that much of a controversial opinion that people would be careful about expressing it.

Indeed, my read as an expat living in HK is that HKers treat mainland China Government as an enemy, not so much the people. It's even said clearly when you go to the protests, people complain about the Beijing government...

As someone who has hired people for remote position, it's a problem I've run into. A lot of people who look great on paper , have a lot of experience and seem a great fit actually do poorly working from home. It takes a certain ki

Exactly, it's the cognitive dissonance of those people wanting racial equality: being open minded and then hiring housekeepers and treating them badly. That cognitive dissonance surprises me and shocks me. I have no issue with people h

Yes, I've seen families in Malaysia and Singapore that really treated their housekeeper badly. In a lot of cases, they are not allowed to go out of the apartment either because of potential pregnancy or because they are scared of the h

Her first name has two parts, so she just combines the first part of her first name with her last name. It's incorrect but still matches more or less what she has on her password.
