I'm a big fan of the Chanel talk; it's a neat perspective with a well thought out presentation.


In 1998, while I was in high school, I got involved in MUD development using LPC (an obscure object-oriented version of C).

To this day, new players are greeted by an NPC that I wrote when first logging into the game.


China has a history of inflating economic performance indicators. Massive overestimation of grain yields was one of the key factors contributing to the Great Chinese Famine [0] [1]. It wouldn't be surprising if this would still be the case.

I think comparing the state of China during and after Maoism, especially after the advent of Deng Xiaoping as head of state during the 70s, is a completely unfair comparison. It really speaks a lot to the understanding us westerners have of actual Chinese politics.
