Likely the Japanese response is not cautious enough. The virus seems to spread fast. However, its lethalness is likely overrated.

It largely depends where you live. Singapore without car is no problem at all. Groceries is delivered, playgrounds are in walking distance. I have a house in rural Japan and would be dead without a car there.

I still can't wrap my head around it why car rental companies like Hertz and Avis don't have this market completely cornered. They have the infrastructure, the assets, the know-how. Why is it still so inconvenient to get a car thr

I work in credit scoring and you should be afraid of what you will not be eligible / priced systematically for in the future. What will employers find when they use this for background checks? If you regularly buy alcohol a drinks_alco

I would assume the same holds true for the AntiVax movements. While I constantly hear about it online, I don't know a single parent with that mindset.

I recently installed PS4RemotePlay on my iPad. This could have been an amazing product but it wasn't. 1. Why would I play games that were designed with a controller in mind of an iPad ? The controller scheme transition is not good. 2.

After living more than 7 years in Japan, I think it's that a lot of Tokyo's tech infrastructure is build around the persona of a 45 year old male office worker and his specific needs. For example, Pasmo cards can be used to buy dr

Stuff like this is really needed. Optimizing around the next ad-click won't help at all. I fundamentally we as a society need to re-align our focus away from social media and towards solving the 'hard problems' (not because t
