Comment Typical American bigotry (Score 0) 171

As a resident in China, I was also extremely angry at the government's initial cover-up. Now having seen the absolute disastrous responses to the coronavirus by the western countries, I think the Chinese government has done a far far better job. The US government's response to the virus is inexcusable. Two months after the lockdown of Wuhan you still thought it was just like the flu? The cover-up made by the Chinese government was nothing compared to the continual denial and inaction by your President Trump. Now the crisis is staggering and the numbers are so bad, you resort to blaming China and questioning China's numbers in order to make yourselves look less embarrassing (I know you will also deny it. But it's really human nature.). Even more, China's goodwill gestures (e.g. donation of 1000 ventilators to New York) were received with animosity. You really should be ashamed of such a complete fiasco in your country.

sigh, MongoDB. On install 1. no authentication, no passwords 2. default read access to everything for any user 3. no granularity. 4. data sent in the clear 5. no encryption 6. binds to all available interfaces

It's like we've learned nothing

MongoDB forces you to think about security issues from the outset and add those protections via various packages. It is much better than someone assuming their database is secure due to their own ignorance of reality. No technology can protect a developer / administrator from their own incompetence.

You must be kidding, right?

it's trivial to get a city hukou if you have a college degree.

Riiiight, because the son of a rice farmer, banned from public schools, should have no problem getting a college degree. And if the peasants don't have bread, let them eat cake!

"banned from public schools"? What a joke! You're sickening. Any one who has been to China should know that you're just telling lies.

Their class has nothing to do with where they were born. It is inherited paternally. So their class is whatever is printed on their father's hukou (identity card). If they are illegitimate, and their father is not identified, then they are screwed, and have no rights to education or healthcare, regardless of their mother's social status.

Stop spreading misinformation. The hukou class of a child can follow either the mother's or the father's.
