Composers have very distinct styles my teacher would joke Mozart adored the triad, Beethoven the octave and Chopin the tenth. A fun game I like to play myself is "guess the composer". I think I shocked my friend the most when I wa

What circumstance are you referring to with "at entry"?

Some do but from observation lawyers/HR find reasons to resist this. The most likely explanation is there could be risk but there is zero risk associated with saying no so legal and HR say no to this arrangement because they don't

People are being too individualistic here - Japan or any other country is never going to go after individuals who happen to work for remote companies or freelance while they globe trot working on tourist visas. But when companies like Shopi

Just adding to this the peak was Sony acquiring Crunchyroll for over 1B - a "company" who started life as a pirating site for anime

Sony owns a record label and film studio, phones and has had a cloud distribution network since 2006 via the PS3 but they completely missed the boat on music and video streaming. Too many of their orgs were siloed from one another. As someo

Is beying another typo? In my personal learning journey I have been exploring the space of intuitive learning which is dominant in physical skills. Singing requires extremely precise control of actions we can't fully articulate or even

As usual the answer is probably "it depends" Old school pen and paper and physical books tap into tactile learning. Even writing on my tablet isn't as good as just scribbling on some scratch so I'm definitely team analog

This may be tangential but the NHS is not without some sickening expenses. The costs are just opaque and hidden but ultimately taxpayers are paying for £300 for a stainless steel bucket for patients to pee in thanks to bureaucracy and gover

Well really it's about respecting the performers and your fellow attendees. I once saw Mitsuko Uchida storm off the stage in Southbank because there was an alarm outside going off non stop lol. If you went to a nice restaurant and I ca

This is a huge loss - outside of a handful of echo chambers classical music is kind of dying. Fewer and fewer young people care about it, I am grateful to TwoSet for providing a relatable way for the next generation of listeners to ramp int

Reading code and documentation with an eink screen is tantalising. I have no interest in lugging around tomes and tomes of manuals anymore. When I was in uni and school I'd regularly lug around 15kg+ of textbooks. I love buying physica

Yeah when I was watching young family learn to walk it became clear that even things like walking we take for granted and its very complex and isn't meant to be learned analytically and most of us lack the fundamental understanding of

In sports/competition isn't what you've described the ability to both execute technically extremely precisely while having presence of mind to dictate the flow of the game?

Maybe you're both right? Staying on the example of recitals. When I concentrate hard listening to the music they seem like they last forever while also being over in the blink of an eye! Similar sensation to being in an isolation chamb

I'm trying to read your comments charitably and made in good faith but I'll admit it is proving to be a challenge here. In the UK they ran a campaign to raise awareness that during an accident a passenger riding in the back can in

I'd argue dance has a higher skill floor but both have a high skill ceiling. With dance you need minimum 4 limb coordination (its more than this) to get started. You need rhythm and you need to memorize choreo. At low weights lifting i

And yet when I went to Germany, China and Japan service staff did their jobs with a sense of pride and didn't chase for tips. In many places in Asia I've had tips outright refused. And yet the tiny check in lady in Tokyo airport c

Was a huge fan of Shokz since 2019. Still like them but have recently graduated to the Huawei Freeclip. Really loving them. Audio quality is better (light on the bass) the lack of band behind means I can rest on my head rest and also wear t

A couple months back I suddenly got nostalgic for MGS4 and was shocked to find out there's no way to play it other than to power up your PS3 again. Ditto for FF13 (but who cares about that game) I suppose the PS3 is also the last conso

I'm reminded of some stat (which I haven't verified) that there were ~15k tripadvisor restaurants in London (a "large" city). There were 65k for Hong Kong... Tokyo had 80k Granted, Tokyo is very large. I got a bit burned

I agree that power laws are in play, but 1000 subs paying $10 a month is already a six figure income and 1000 users isn't a big number on the internet, especially when as TFA mentions you can go on reddit and advertise cosplays on subs
