Not everybody who comes to HK, but permanent residents in HK. Foreigners shouldn't get to come and grab resources. One of the reasons property prices in HK is so ridiculously high is because of many mainlander speculators coming in buying

Alternatively, these people choose to live in these cages that cost ~ HKD 2K and save the rest for their families.

The problem is these people generally have little skills so their job prospects are pretty terrible anywhere. In reality, if you have a stable job, or possibly a family, you'd be living in public or subsidized housing instead of a cage. But

The problem is there is no supply and lots of demand. I'm too lazy to google for this, but the latest figure is something like demand is 2-3x greater than land supply. The government absolutely have to do something about this or this city w

I used to work with people who commute from Island South to SZ, but they only do it on Friday night and come back on Monday morning. In general, people living cages neither have the money nor time to commute.

Very little. Most people actually would rather stay in HK to take advantage of the better education and healthcare system for their children than moving to China for a __slightly__ more affordable place. HK is also a much safer city to live

It took a CloudFlare total wipeout to discover how useless our browsers are against domain name lookups that take a ridiculously long time to timeout. News flash: CDN fallback like the one below is next to useless unless the first request t

Shadow DOM is also turned on for Webkit nightly. This article makes Chrome sound so much more advanced when in reality Webkit is only a couple of weeks behind. I also have never seen people using -khtml- and -apple- prefixes.

I haven't really used Make in any big projects (read: 100s of files and dependencies), but that's mainly because I have a habit of breaking components into smaller projects and thus keeping things, including my Makefiles, very simple. For p

You should note that there's a huge gap in the definition in the English language between "trolling" and "defending". Also, stop putting your words into other people's mouth. Who here is advocating Python indentation as a cure-all? Point is
