Well I'd agree with you, but I know that some people I've contacted in the past didn't know that HN did that and they just were surprised that no one were responding to their comments...

I would heartily recommend you Distant Neighborhood (Haruka na Machi e) by Jiro Taniguchi Actually most of the books by Jiro Taniguchi are really good, they are mostly simple touching story that give a good glimpse of japanese culture and t

From my friends working in the game industry in Kyoto, it doesn't surprise me that he had this kind of experience... But, yes, on my end, working in a small company in Kyoto, it was not as extreme. There were of course a few parties, but no

I think the comment from Michael Schubert from Pivotal is spot on ( http://bhargreaves.com/2010/03/hire-dev-shop-other-never/#co... ). When you're not sure about what you exactly want and need to quickly iterate on your idea, a good Agile D

I think that whatever the original reason to limit tweets to 140 characters, it's become such a part of their identity that it would be foolish to change it...

That's why I use macports on os X... While it's not provided directly by apple, you can't say that there isn't any package manager...

I've seen a lot of people not understanding the save dialog in Microsoft Word and just saving the file at the default location of the save dialog... So, yes, I do think a lot of people are not very competent with computers.

Yes, but that's not my only point, the other problem is that piracy is as widespread it seems for 3$ iphone games than for 50$ games... So the argument that lowering prices reduces the number of pirates seems a little bit optimistic to me.

That really depends of people, I've spent almost one third of my life living in foreign countries and I don't really feel that it's a drag... And on the contrary to the article, I do feel that I belonged in the different cities I've lived.

I agree but from having been doing some recruitment lately I can truthfully answer that the worst code I've seen recently is not my own... It's scary to recruit programers...

I used to think like you back when using svn... Now I think that when using svn, branching causes a mess and for that reason is bad... But, it's amazingly convenient and simple to use with git

hmmm, having a chinese plugin for taobao really marks my browser.... I wonder if there's a way to tell to safari not to return the list of plugins? But then I guess it would break a few pages...

So as someone who has assets in Japan, what can I do to protect myself and maybe profit from the looming financial crisis? (reading those kind of articles makes me realize that I really need to read up on economy)
