I lived there for two years and clearly remember it being labelled as 鮭 (while painstakingly learning the words and characters too for different common foods as well). Granted, this was about 10 years ago, so maybe it has changed?

The appearance of these seems like a natural reaction to the rise of coding bootcamps. I can easily imagine how employers are hesitant to take on a newly minted bootcamp grad, but may consider an apprenticeship program (yeah, it's a dr

Well, the popularity of a book is not directly correlated with the quality of it's writing. There are some truly awful bestsellers out there, along with many more undiscovered gems. Most professional authors, writing instructors and cr

I have followed news about the TPP for a while, since this great cartoon [1] grabbed my attention a few years ago. Without exception, coverage since then has been negative, describing a collection of rules that will benefit large corporatio

I came here to share this article. Anyway, I think your best bet is to outsource this kind of work to the sort of company described in the article. It seems to be a regrettable necessity for any sizable user-generated content site. Also, of

The conclusions of this article closely mirror my own experience. I generally prefer reading a physical book because I am much more likely to remember the contents afterward. Things I read on a screen somehow feel slippery and less valuable

I thought it odd that the article did not mention the SciFi mini-series Dune and Children of Dune that came out a while back [1][2]. These were actually quite good, much better than the David Lynch version. [1] http://www.imdb.co
