A language study application (focused on Japanese and perhaps Chinese in the future) which learns and adapts to your skill level as you use it, to make time spend studying easier and more effective. In the app store soon? The idea is to ent

It's an unfortunate situation that we find ourselves in. Perhaps not surprising, however, since it's driven by economics. For those who care, however, it's not too hard to learn to fix things ourselves with a little practice.

Yep! A few points about this... I have noticed that many "quality" brands tend to introduce lower quality lines as they grow in size. Perhaps as they hire more business folks and the founders becomes further and further removed fr

Relaxed forefinger, not bent inward like the authors original grip. The reason is that vertical downward strokes are made by bending the index forefinger downward. Here is more detail (in Japanese): https://youtu.be/0RlXSbI0

I’ve studied ペン字 a bit (the art of writing Japanese with a pen instead of a brush as was traditionally done). Grip is emphasized as bad grip makes it very difficult to write beautifully: certain strokes become crooked and/or shaky. Pos

Completely agree. Your only goal is build then launch. Be 100% focused on this. Reading and learning will be required, but should be set against a specific task that is part of your product launch goal. You only need to research as much as

Maybe I think too much like a programmer but then again I think maybe everyone else should think a little more like programmers too... especially legislators.

My argument was from the standpoint of consumer protection. If environmental protection is your goal, then I would point out a few issues. Newer products are often more efficient. It's not clear to me that supporting older products is

Why they should electronic makers be "required" to do supply security updates and spare parts for 10 years? To begin with, 10 years is somewhat arbitrary. Why not 12? 15? 20? These tractors could be serviceable for 50 years or mor

T-Mobile international data is too slow. 128kbps at present. If you travel a lot, or even a little but use your phone a lot for on-the-fly planning, work, etc., Fi is a better option. In fact, that is Fi's greatest advantage for me.

That's a great point. If I understand correctly schemer could agree to pay for votes, but had no way to verify the ballot was indeed cast for that candidate. With this system they could first verify the vote before paying. It's ma

Assuming there is a demand for energy (given) than generating energy to meet that demand (e.g. by burning coal or gas) has a much larger negative impact I would imagine. It's sorta like capturing braking energy. This used to be dissipa
