...and give up his rights, just like all other Chinese people, so they can force him to transfer technology for EV cars and SpaceX tech, on his next visit.
I retested this today, just to confirm what I already know. China and their Great Firewall have been able to automatically detect and block Shadowsocks for a long time. The concept of wrapping a VPN client and server into a nice UI is very good, but you'll need much much more than this to accomplish your goal. Seriously, am I very disappointed with Google/Alphabet - you have the resources and ability to change the internet, but you won't do it because privacy would break your business model. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Sergey Brin - you should be ashamed.
I've been in the set-top box business for more than 25yrs and can tell you, they are ripping you off way more than you know. The cost of at pay-TV box, similar to a DirectTV or cable box, is roughly $12 FOB China. The cost of a free to air ATSC or DVB-T box is roughly $7.50.
How many of us have hand carried blade servers to install in a data center? Interception of gear shipments and modifications in transit have been going on for decades. Dark silicon and closed source firmware are the norm now. The Chinese are amateurs...
We should cut off China, and all other evil dictatorships, from the internet now. If they can't stop murdering people that disagree with them, they do not deserve to be part of the civilized world.
It wasn't that long ago that Nokia and Motorola had mobile phone factories in the US - I was there in the 90's. Many computers were also made in the US before. The manufacturing of mobile phones is becoming more and more automated. Even in the Foxconn factory (I've been there too), they are using fewer and fewer workers. The main things making the cost of manufacturing in the US higher than China are regulations related to pollution and taxes. The labor cost in China is getting very close to the US - close enough that it is already making no sense to make some things there and then ship them all the way to the other side of the planet.
China stopped being the lowest labor cost place to manufacture for many industries, years ago. An analysis in 2016 found the cost to assemble iphones in the US would only add roughly 5% to the cost - this was 2 years ago. My only point is entire industries that were in the US and EU 25yrs ago could be moved back home.
I've been to Foxconn and other factories many times - you are full of shit. It's true, working in a factory is not fun, but the conditions are very similar to western standards now. The new problem is young people don't want to work in factories anymore.
If you are using facebook or twitter, you are part of the problem. Get right with yourself and delete those accounts - your physical and mental health will improve greatly. Also, do your best to purge google from every corner of your life. These jerks got very rich because we let them farm us like vegetables. It's time to take back control of our data and stop letting them manipulate us.
It really ticked-off the Emperor of China when they didn't adapt their new version to work with the Chinese version on skype-tom.com - it doesn't mean they have stopped surveillance though. Microsoft is fully cooperative...
Back when the earth was still cooling, I bought a HP 48GX graphic calculator and spent so much time programming it, I actually failed calculus the first time. I had to take it again in summer school. Ah the good old days...
Microsoft Bing and Yahoo are fully cooperating with the Chinese dictatorship - their completely censored search engines have been operating in China for years. Why is nobody talking about it? Aren't they breaking the law by cooperating with oppressive regimes?
We have to find a way to make the internet in China open and anonymous; If not, the direction will not change.
Close to 1bil people are using the internet in China, either on mobile or PC/Mac. All of them are locked into the Chinese intranet that is only partially connected to the outside world. The rest of the internet is mostly blocked or throttled into oblivion.
Politicians in the free world are now heading in the same direction, since China is able to get away with it so easily. Sadly, we created the technology and even sold the hardware the Chinese use to create their internet oppression.
It has to start with Google. If they wanted to (they don't) they could put everything they do on a new internet layer, fully encrypted and anonymous. All major websites and services would have no choice but to use it.
Larry Page, Sergey Brin - if you don't fix the internet, you have failed. Instead, you will be remembered as the ones who screwed us all and did nothing but waste time playing around with boats and airplanes.
I hope they keep going with more and more spyware as a service functions, to the extreme. People will not wake up and make a stand until there is a disaster. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the sheeple. Things will have to get much worse before they get better.
Until then, you can be sure, there will be no Windows 10 machines anywhere in my company or my family.
China is the leader in stealing high-speed rail technology and providing cheap labor for the advanced manufacturing of Taiwanese and Japanese factories - they excel at exploiting and murdering their own people and theft of IP from other countries. *I have been in China roughly half of the time for the last 20yrs - don't believe their propaganda.

Offer real choice. Let people choose what they pay for instead of just repeating the same old cable TV package mistakes of the last 40yrs.

Towers spaced every 200m with .50cal automated machine guns, shooting anything that approaches the border. Problem solved
Tim Cock doesn't like to talk about that...

This is their real business model. Microsoft dreams of being Google.
The cost of a Roku or Android box is roughly $25-30, depending on the amount of RAM and 4K support or not.

What a waste...
It's time to force them to update those crappy old systems.

Clearly, there are not enough transvestite and lesbian kernel hackers. This would fix everything...
Being a white male, possibly even straight (gasp), his career at google would have been limited anyways.

This is almost an exact copy of the propaganda currently being used to brainwash the citizens of China.

It's sad that $5.49bil in sales is considered "small." In any other consumer electronics business, that's HUGE.
