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 app store, only that here it is not a web browser(in fact W

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. In that case, it is not even a good stereotype, it just lazy

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, I don't know where this stereotype comes from, and

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 getting along recently on a list of issues, like Russi

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 stuff like RPC. And the distribution is just so easy. For

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, they still need to face the question from customer lik

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 a second read"

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 structure, where your workplace is your home and your boss is the ow

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 programmers here don't have access to mainframes, it is hard

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 people using non-English identifier in actual code. If such beh

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 own with Python, however it does tell there is differe

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 subjected to this, it is interesting to see now a si

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 in the first place. The reason is simple, if Google pay

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 only be harder for it to embrace the rest of the worl

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 HDI. Even in China, on the east coast, in certain sect

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? However, it definitely has its own big problem, and if witho

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 west?

Why there are so many articles about China suddenly jump out of nowhere and most of them seem only remotely, if ever, related to tech?
