There was a picture showing a antenna bent at a roughly 30 degree angle, ontop of the launch tower. Not sure if that was the cause though.

As a person working in Japan's programing industry, specifically with integrating machine tooling with a web UI; A lot of this sounds accurate. Though, I am not sure if any keiretsu had an influence on my current employer.

It's the same logic as writing a sentence like this: Y U gna be late It's grammatically completely incorrect. But you can still understand it. When it comes to chinese/japanese characters, many have the same phonetic reading.

Japanese but not a lawyer. No clue. Need to wait for them to declare what the patents are. Some of the patents being shown in this thread went into effect after Palworld was revealed (not launched) so there is a lot of unknowns.

They already did in 2023. Excel did not have an option for turning automatic conversions off. You can now, FINALLY disable automatic conversion. Honestly that "feature" has been a bane of my existence, and I don't work with g

I was specifically taught that good, readable code could explain itself; that it would make comments redundant. Therefore, comments should only be used for things like psuedocode, or as help for fellow developers during dev. Then, they shou

A defect like that would make it illegal to sell in my country. One big splash on a major network and they will probably go scrambling. Have you contacted anyone other than the manufacturer?

I was taught to not leave comments in finished code. I have regretted following that lesson ever since.

Internet banking is so ridiculously insecure, I always go do it myself in person. Although, I rarely have to do anything with the bank that would require any online or offline process beyond using an ATM. So no, that wouldn't really be

On one hand, I do want more countries taking social media to court. However, in this specific case, it's been pretty clear that the Brazilian court orders send to X/Twitter. Specifically, some that order the censoring of specific

No, the pilot can depressurize the aircraft at high altitude. In such a case, the emergency oxygen masks for passengers will drop, but those are only rated for 15 to 30 minutes. After that Oxygen runs out, assuming the pilot maintains cruis

Unfortunately, the conventional US Navy has an incredibly bad history when it comes to post mortem investigations. They have very consistently used scapegoats to hide systematic issues, or problems caused by people higher up the chain. Some

Not to forget, the same problem has happened before with aircraft pilots. Someone doesn't notice that the the wrong engines are running, or someone forgot to power down one of the engines. Or there was an engine failure. And in the con

I think we will see something similar to the last boom with Neural Net chatbots back in 2014(?). Public discource will simmer down, as current language models either fizzle out or improve. Some will become background noise as the models get

Very likely they use a manufacturing execution system like Dassault's DELMIA or Siemens MES. These systems are intended to allow local control of a factory, or cloud based global control of manufacturing. They can connect to individual

Last I checked, 90% of Line users were in Japan, and Facebook messenger was most popular in SEA. So I am simply surprised. My knowledge must be incredibly out of date.

I did not know that. Would that indiciate that Korean software companies are only able to penetrate one economy at a time? That would be a very weird, but interesting thing to investigate.

by Prickle 2y ago
Line failed in the Korean market, and only penetrated Japan if I remember correctly. And it is also partially owned by Softbank.

by Prickle 2y ago
They don't have international competition. The Korean government explicitly chooses companies for these things. And those companies, Chaebols like Samsung, choose the laws. If these Korean apps were so good, you would expect them to pe

This is honestly why I advocate for pirating software. I purchased it once. So long as I don't make copies and send it to people I should be allowed to use it no matter what. If the distributor no longer provides the software, or does

Yes, unironically. In the USA you have the SLS, which can only be described as a congressionally designed failure. Past experiments by NASA for self landing rockets had their funding denied as well. In the EU there was the Arianespace CEO w

I just fundamentally don't understand why advanced placement classes need to be axed due to racial issues. Why is this so hard? Just keep the accelerated education program. Then try to help the disadvantaged groups get better testing s

Yea no. They are using 12 year olds in incredibly dangerous manufacturing sectors. Since they don't want to pay higher wages in a competitive labor market, they instead start illegally using under-age labor, and throwing lobbying mone

We really don't. The majority of desert is not sand. Only around 20% is sand, and around 3% consist of sand dunes. Transportation in deserts is complex due to the rocky terrain that usually fills the rest of the desert. It is economica

Why would it be useless? Boeing's update for the Max8 MCAS (to make the FAA happy), was to make the system validate the two values. If there is a mismatch, the system outputs an error and MCAS will disable itself. In fact, that is lite
