Temperature based sex determination was new to me, so I went searching for more information. This book chapter describes the mechanism: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9989/ But left me wondering what the ad

I don't think much of what it written in that article is up for debate? You can check his wikipedia page for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo_Abe#Political_positions... "Abe is affiliated with th

Right, I absolutely agree. It's interesting to compare, in fact I've written about the startup environment comparing the US to Japan before: https://41j.com/blog/2022/05/startups-and-japan/ But

Honestly I think these kinds of calculations should also include all the VAT you pay out over the course of a year, which I imagine is also reasonably substantial. Also, you're not paying 45% income tax on the total amount right (that&

In this case it seems like he didn't have any full-time employees, so there isn't the employee issue. But I'm curious as to how this might effect investors generally. I assume it could make them look bad, and cause issues wit

The author (Tim Romero) also runs disruptingjapan. So it's more like he's just replicating content he originally wrote for another publication to his personal/professional site...

Wouldn't they also potentially have copyright issues exactly replicating the original design?

The strangest thing about this list for me is that it contains multiple .onion addresses. It also seems to have been at least somewhat filtered for "objectionable" content (porn etc.). I assume it must have come from user searches

It's so confusing to me as a piece of art using engineering principals to express something. How would it even work? Hydraulic fluid would need to be under pressure. It just scooping it back in wouldn't keep going. Perhaps if it w

They appear to have used commercial equipment for some of their tests, but they appear to have diluted sample until the results were no longer valid. Here's one report on an invalid pregnancy test: https://www.theverge.com&#

In the Lucira test is a bit more justifiable it's a full molecular test, with built in controls, better accuracy than lateral flow. The optics is pretty neat too: https://aseq.substack.com/p/inside-the-lucira-check

The Lucira test is in my opinion a bit more interesting: https://aseq.substack.com/p/inside-the-lucira-check-it-covid They include an STM32, but the instrument is performing an Isothermal PCR molecular test which makes

This is probably something that varies a lot by area but based on my observations of elementary school students (who I’ve seen the most of) and others. The situations you describe sound like pretty strong outliers. I would want to see prett

The best numbers I could find for the US were these: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide Which looks like 5 per 100000 for 10 to 14 year olds? The Japanese population in this age range is ~5M: http

Yep, they weren’t directly assembling prototypes but still… probably using on a daily basis. It’s interesting though. Watching this video you see the CNC mill and think wow that was probably expensive and likely didn’t get a lot of use, but

One of the things that’s interesting about looking at workshops is the “shop-smell” and how it seems to tell you a lot about a project/company. I remember walking into the workshop at one well funded startup , and seeing they were usin

Lots of Biotech companies have made billions based on their patent portfolios (and the monopoly this gives them on their technological approach).

I think software patents are a bad idea. But in many industries patents benefit the small developer because they help you gain investment. If an investor sees you have reasonable patent coverage they’re more likely to give you money. Eventu

In the US patent maintenance fees are due at 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years after issuance. They are increasingly expensive, with the 11.5 year fee being $7700. You could raise these fees, but how are you going to set them? Based on industry? Ulti

Then why not cars, airplanes, radio transmitters? All those things require costly government mandated testing. But it feels like the same arguments could apply to many things. Many deep tech projects require 100M+ to develop, and it’s diffi

If they weren't doing any scanning why would they find any to report? The data is encrypted as rest so... why would they find any to report. This clearly doesn't include search requests [1]. iCloud has perhaps 25% of the users of
