Hi Bruno, I wish you the best. I’m going back to Japan for a couple months this winter and going to miss the Roam experience so much. Most sharehouses don’t do 2-3 months. Both the community managers were fantastic. Looking forward to see y

Roam.co is essentially out of business, but having spent several weeks in their Tokyo property it was a great experience. Always someone around to chat or eat with. Tokyo has a large number of Sharehouses built and managed by the full stack

Given the rates aren’t at all competitive, I wonder if this is more an attempt to generate positive cash flow than provide the service. They do have the advantage of controlling replacement part pricing. They can raise those even higher to

Agree, these were fire death traps and there should be criminal punishment. I have no problems with tiny safe apartments though, I wish we’d zone for more of them.

Incentives basic as “not getting laid off” cause illegal behavior, so it seems nigh unworkable to me. In any event, it appears to be a rather fundamental change that should not be pursued lightly.

If we are going to start locking up people for not stopping others from committing crimes without their knowledge, why stop with CEO’s? How about parents of kids that commit felonies? Teachers that don’t stop bullying. Not a society I want

Ecosia is just a thin wrapper around Bing that allocates revenue towards climate crisis. It’s a noble cause but essentially a middleman, I don’t see why they should be given equal standing to Google/Bing for free.

I would expect compensation to rise substantially under this rule to account for the new risk of the position, from the Fortune 50 all the way down.

I try to do the same, I certainly walk away with extra pep after those exchanges. Elevators are a great example, just a quick “have a great day / night” seems to make people happy.

I’m hard pressed to find examples of any country allowing witnesses to refuse to testify, the right to silence in common law applies to the accused. UK, Canada, and even Sweden all have compelled testimony.

I think you have it spot on, but public opinion is driving those enterprise customers to make that call. They still support the terror group websites, even after being informed of them, so it’s not based on policy but rather a business deci

Looks like the standard is there hasn’t been enough bad press about their material support of those terrorist orgs yet. They clearly wait for the public outrage before acting.

It's not just tradition, it's law written into the kernel of the country. Changing it is possible, it's just not easy, and requires the support of those who would "lose" under the arrangement proposed. Some compromi

The real answer is because we’re a union of states, many of which would not have joined under that representation scheme. You need to amend the constitution to change that. It’s hard to do, but again that was intentional.

If you look at educational attainment, health, poverty rates, and other factors it doesn’t seem to biased towards rural communities. They fall behind in all those measures.

I'd love to see a patent lawyers view of this case. On the face it looks insane to expect retailers to individually weigh patent claims and somehow force suppliers into licensing agreements with third parties.

It brings up many interesting challenges and unknowns of living on Mars, but it comes across as a naysayer's rant. Humans are capable of (and perhaps wired for) incredible personal sacrifices for the sake of exploration and progress. N

I can't access the study, but this news report says it doesn't examine the causes behind this. For instance, it's way cheaper to drill deeper first then going back and doing it, you generally get cleaner water, and better flo

You could be right, but "more qualified" doesn't have to mean "technical expertise in this exact standard". They could easily be weighing factors such as previous leadership experience, team/group experience, s

They are rational for individuals acting in their own self-interest, and that's what economic theory is based on.

Deflation doesn't cause people to behave irrationally. The problem is that rational reactions to deflation such as hoarding cash, avoiding debt, and cutting spending become a drag on the economy.

Seems a bit higher than that on average, Dec/Jan were ~8.3%. Faregates are rarely the rate limiter on throughput (buses moreso than others though). Adding more cuts enforcement labor and increases revenue.

If the author believes no Western city needs faregates at all, shouldn't it follow that the vast majority of them in Tokyo are unnecessary too?
