Consider what Facebook tries to with its Messenger app, I bet $5 that in 3-5 years, US will get its own ASIAN messaging app~ EDIT: I think you should compare Wechat to Chrome + its…

Actually, I am OK with certain stereotyping, because that is how comedy works. However, burning trash is not remotely funny and not true anymore, it is not representative at all. I…

Chinese(Pan-Asian, whatever), don't burn trash anymore for quite some time as far as I can remember, although I grew up in urban area, which might be a little different. Honestly, …

Remind me of poor peter

China and South Korea are actually in their best relationship because of Japan's Abe government. I don't like the conspiracy theory behind it. Apparently, China and US are not gett…

Agree. Go is made for web/distributed programming: builtin concurrency, battery-included library with great support for http utils, including a production-ready server and other st…

Messaging apps are all about social connections. Any kind of monetization has to build upon that. Even if FB/Snapchat tries to make themselves more agreeable towards Asian markets,…

Would love to add CSAPP into the list. My then college director's comment on this book is very insightful and might be some of the highest you can ever endorse a tech book. "Worth …

Please leave Bioware alone...Shame you EA!

Exactly. Japanese style work ethic is a pandemic spread across east Asia, in which, devotion(even pretended) wins over efficiency. It also leads to a paternalistic company structur…

A single search on Google could lead to 10x-100x actual requests to the backend system. So the comparison here is not really a fair game. Second, since I assume, most of the progra…

Well...I do want to let you know that in most Chinese colleges, computer science starts from learning C. While using in Chinese in comments might be very common, I rarely seem peop…

Actually a little different. In chinese, the term "tu hao" can be also used with a humorous context, not entirely critical.

For AWS, not so long time ago NO, right now it is a YES. If you look at boto, it still doesn't have built-in client side encryption, while Java has. It is trivial to implement your…

Java is the absolute priority in Amazon, while strangely, though Python is widely being loved and accepted, is absent in the official support list.

And I think Google won't be the only one to retreat here. Facebook have a lot of new aggregation related features, I don't think they will choose to comply. Twitter will also be su…

To be honest, I didn't see who could benefit from this law enforcement. If the government or whoever drive this believe this would force Google to pay for the news, they are wrong …

Well, lets face it.If Japan is so reluctant to accept Chinese/Korean/Other Asians, whose appearance and culture are perhaps much closer to its own than other countries, it will onl…

Well if they change their mind on immigration, they better be quick. Japan's neighboring countries are quickly catching up, if not surpassing, in a lot of respects, such as PPI and…

It looks like Pocket

Because...everyone else sucks badly. If China's 7.3% gdp growth is defined as slow and worrisome, what words would you pick for the situation in other places, such as Europe? Howev…

I posted this article just want to know why so called "bullet screen" video is only popular in East Asia, like Japan and China? Any theory about why this is not a big thing in the …
