Way more than fifteen years. They’ve been $59.99 at least since the nineties.

Nintendo is in Kyoto (though they have a few Tokyo satellites). And many employees commute from neighbouring towns or prefectures, so it actually strengthens your point. Expenses will be massively cheaper.

US bases in Japan have the opposite impact of colonialism. If it weren’t for the bases, Japan would have to pay for their own defense, using up finances and resources that can be allocated to growth and wealth in the current system. The cur

Google engineers often spend years on less exciting and interesting projects that get canceled or don’t succeed. Plenty of people would enjoy working on this whether or not it launches, and it’s also a high-profile bet, so I’d say it’s in t

As a product manager who cares about experience and craftsmanship, I hear you.

I think swap was just launched for the first time on Apple mobile devices with iPadOS 16. Pretty sure still none of the phones swap; you’re app is either in RAM or shut down.

She loves the sound of the name? Is there a clever way to say it I’m missing? I’ve never heard it out loud and always assumed it’s Chat Gee Pee Tee.

China already does something similar to Japan. They fly hundreds of flights a year around Japanese airspace, forcing Japan to constantly scramble jets just in case. This tires their pilots, puts wear on their planes, and costs a ton of mone

It was changed recently, but 7.5 used to be a major milestone with a title change (Group Product Manager) on the PM ladder.

Is there any way to checkout without PayPal? I was mysteriously banned a few years ago with no details and no recourse. And I don’t see an option to just pass through a credit card without logging in. Edit: Never mind! I found out tapping t

It’s a joke. Since everyone claims they were descended from the first group and no one wants to admit being descended from the second group, if you take it at face value it appears that the first group has tons of children and the second gr

“Very car centric” is incredibly relative. Compared to Tokyo, yes. Compared to anywhere in America except NYC, not even close. In suburban and even rural areas, there’s still a centralisation and comprehensiveness of public transit that mak

Japan is incredibly easy to immigrate to if you’re educated. Abe also initiated some major reforms to open up a lot of unskilled immigration.

It’s not imposed on consumers as much anymore, but in business, it’s still huge. There are plenty of articles about it even locally in Japanese.

I see… Thanks for confirming!

Do any of these methods work to rotate a Sidecar display? Right now I’m using BetterDisplay to creat a dummy and then rotate and stream that dummy to the Sidecar display, but it’s a bit unwieldy and sometimes unreliable (due to an Apple bug

Google has made way too many chart apps, but this article is disingenuous; Duo is a video calling app, not a messaging app.

Also Xi’s consolidation of power and his stated goals, which makes earlier aggression much more likely over some other leader or more distributed power.

GP said “cusp.” Do you really think it’s going to not be profitable? Facebook’s ML models contribute massively to their profitability.

It's probably from people that switched to Macs back when there wasn't a single decent non-Apple trackpad and it was like jumping forward a decade in input experience. I assume there are some good non-Apple trackpads these days, b

The Japanese emperor has zero power and lives in one of the safest countries in the world, but no one would be naïve enough to think he doesn’t need protection.

I can't believe you also mentioned 8pen! I almost made a comment about that as well, but had to run earlier. I was also fascinated by the idea when that launched and really wanted it to be successful. I also had an iPhone, but I convin

Agree; this was great at the time, but I feel like they’ve barely updated it since then. At least they finally added a somewhat useable swipe mode, but it’s still far behind what Google has done.

Wow, I came to say the same thing; surprised to see this as the first comment! As far as I know, this keyboard was pioneered by Apple; I wonder if they were inspired by or reused the “blob” experiment? It’s not necessarily that novel though

You still have to file the expenses even if you use the company card, at least everywhere I’ve worked.

I think you have the incentives backwards here. When you use your own credit card for company expenses, you can rack up tons of personal benefits. The company would prefer you to use their card so they get those instead. A few years ago Goo

Even if it finds some search results, taking one won’t take you to it, just some random message partway there.
