Except for expected Amazon-Tech there were no deals, it is all about gaming the customer. I was looking for a laptop - there was no sensible offering, Instead i ordered one of these: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fframe.work%2Fat%2Fen%2Flapto... or https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuxedocomputers.co...

Thanks for your kind words. Rarely visit Slashdot but vim is software i use daily. And those vi-emacs meme-jokes feel out of place.

Spot on. And that's the funny thing: the Communist Party of China is all out "Consumerist", deviating from Marxism and pushing a nationalist agenda.

It's about the welfare-stereotype. Actuallly a good example of how how Charlie works. They use what's in the news and transform it into a tasteless absurdity.

Charlie Hebdo is a cultural icon in France. Besides that, if you don't follow french politics/discourse you won't get most of their jokes. Here's an interview with R. Crumb which puts some perspective on the issue: http://observer.com/2015/01/le...
the gist of it:
Q: These guys were not trying not to offend, and that’s what an American media-conditioned mind cannot understand. The idea that yes, you offend those who abuse power.

OKCoin Raises $10 Million To Become China's Largest Bitcoin Exchange 48

Posted by samzenpus on Monday March 17, 2014 @09:30AM from the what-could-go-wrong? dept.

edibobb writes "Despite recent cryptocurrency crackdowns by the Chinese government, OKCoin announced a round of $10 million funding by three prominent venture capital firms and other investors. OKCoin is supposed to be the largest bitcoin exchange in China. From the article: 'Back in November 2013, the focus of the bitcoin community was on China – the world’s hub for bitcoin trading. At that time, BTC China was the biggest exchange in the world, having managed to raise a $5m Series A funding round from Lightspeed Venture Partners (Snapchat, Nest). There were even rumours that a bigger round was in the works for the young company. However, things change quickly. After the Chinese government began regulating bitcoin in December, trade volume plummeted and the world’s top exchange was no longer Chinese.'"

What's ironic for me is that the articles over the last couple of days have been a lot more interesting to me than in recent weeks, while I fully support the FUCK BETA protest, it's a real shame that we're missing out on some interesting discussion.

That's the price you have to pay for revolting against the overlords. I, for one, do not welcome our new beta.
