Eh they aren't really full blown communists anymore. I think it's more to really control random people creating random amounts of accounts and using them to spread information (not just rumor mongering, but even for marketing, etc.).

Sometimes I don't think it would be so bad if we did that in the US. I think…

China also requires the national ID to register for most things. Not sure how I feel about it.

Was playing around with their site yesterday. Google Translate via Chrome wasn't working so well. Can non-Koreans sign up for Daum accounts that are needed to register?

My wife makes them with a cinnamon stick and a star anise (and salt). Really awesome.

This is a pretty close recipe that she uses: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chinese…

I have an NC education and don't see the problem. Maybe if they paid attention in school it wouldn't have come to this problem.

Funny thing about ethics is that it's completely subjective.

100% agree with your comment.

What is worse, Facebook giving them $2B to push Oculus to the next level (by the way, the terms of their purchase is not public knowledge so people could just be bitching for no apparent reason), or Oculus running out of money and never releasing a consumer version?

I don't think people…

Seems similar to me just because I remember standing face first into a 2nd floor window. Looks like this is similar assuming the story height is the same between this Berlin train station and the buildings in game.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and perspective of work. How I work as a 31 year old in China may be different from yours but it doesn't make your story any less relevant. Don't downplay the significance of your own story because someone can't take an internet article for what it is.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

LOL that top gif is ridiculous. Who would do that?

To be honest, 手枪 / hand spear sounds way cooler than gun.

What I wrote previously is shǒu (手) jī (机). As mentioned before, 手 means hand and 机 means machine. Like many things in China and the Chinese language, I try not to ask too many questions about why the way things are are just try to accept it for what it is. For instance computer is diàn (电) nǎo (脑), which can be…

Yeah it makes sense in translation. Sorry if I came off as a dick with my response.

Don't forget to tell him that 手机 literally translates into "hand machine". Glad his journalism integrity allows him to nitpick everything...

Don't think travelers checks work in Japan metro cards?

I honestly can't remember now. Looking back at it now, I know I was in a smaller part in between Yamato and Tokyo. I remember going into a place with a bunch of ATM's but nothing would work.

Anyways... long time ago and one time mistake. Was never a problem any other time. Just had to read the metro lines the…

Few places to get money as well using an ATM card. My first trip to Japan was in 2008. I took the wrong train (oh no don't worry guys I'm an expert after 1 day, right?!) after work and ran out of money. At the time I only had a Razr phone, which didn't work at all in Japan. I walked 2-3KM at one stop before I…

Absolutely. Sorry wrote the post quickly and didn't notice.

Their creativity lies with taking something and making it better (and faster). WeChat wasn't the first of it's kind but it's infinitely better than iMessage, LINE, WhatsApp, etc.
