I was visiting China recently (my first time there). I thought bypassing The Great Firewall was going to be as simple as an "ssh -D" SOCKS setup, or a "ssh -w" tunnel. Oh boy, I was wrong. If you try this, or even a basic OpenVPN setup, you will quickly find out your VPN works fine for about 5 minutes, but then latency increases to 5sec, 10sec, 30sec(!), and then everything times out.

How do multinational companies' china offices get through the firewall? For example if my company uses Google apps, how do I ensure that my china office has access?

I believe this is the reason why they use Atlassian[1] products, where rest of us would use trello, e.t.c.
[1] company that created jira
For people who are not aware of this: Shadowsocks is a popular and very simple tool to circumvent Great Fire Wall in China. It is written to reduce characteristics in network traffic so that GFW cannot easily block it by deep traffic analysis. clowwindy is the original author.
> I hope one day I'll live in a country where I have freedom to write any code I like without fearing. Can the author reach the US by whatever mean and apply for political asylum? That 'fear that they will suffer persecution due to: ... Political opinion'[0] seems legit. [0] http://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum
Frankly I don't know if we are that country. :(

As far as Microsoft office in Beijing, I think they VPN to their Tokyo office first. Their traffic is ensured by negotiating directly with the big telecom company. Disclaimer: I do not work for them.

Not really surprising, though: Apple has been making OS X a little worse with every iteration.
I am doing my best to NOT update my OSX, every time I update it, the thing get slower, it is really annoying.

Apple has stated that the "rootless=0" boot argument to disable System Integrity Protection is temporary and will be gone in the GM version of El Capitan. Allowing this route to disable the feature would defeat the entire purpose of it.
Source? They said in the WWDC session ( http://asciiwwdc.com/2015/sessions/706 ) that the process to disable rootless may change during the beta, but didn't say that it won't be possible in the GM. They know that rootless will break some applications/drivers, plus some types of development may need it disabled.
And there are more than 500 forks. I'd say good luck deleting that :D
I downloaded the source code on principle. It's good to know there are plenty of online copies.
