See here for an Economist special report on the Big Data deluge. Imagine you could observe 100+ million users transacting on a platform with 400 million item listings -- Taobao volume equals about 2 percent of all Chinese retail sales, and growing fast :-)
Yesterday we gave a presentation to about 200 technical staff who were attending a company-wide retreat at a resort outside Hangzhou.
Today I have to turn my physics brain back on as I am giving a talk at Zhejiang University (Zheda). Until now I have been simulating a social / computational scientist :-)

When you visit China do you eat dog meat?
I hear they eat trolls in China, Hendrik.
Yan Shen, I don't know the Mandarin terms for 'Smackdown!' and 'Bravo!', but consider them said.
Eating dog isn't a mere "cultural difference". It's satanic. Only an inferior culture like that of China, Korea, and Vietnam would countenance it.
