Japan is prison usually around 2 years. But the bigger effect is probably cultural/indoctrination, less than the scale of punishment.

One data point, I live in East Asia, it’s very illegal, and vanishingly few people have drug problems (often they substitute for other problems that are less illegal, like gambling or sex).

Maybe can do basically the same thing with a dumb SMS/MMS-based interface actually, text-adventure style. Then could do it with a dumb phone.

You don’t need some kind of “social score” to have the chilling effect, if anything I think people self censor more because of the fear of getting berated by others for their beliefs—both by those they know and don’t. Interestingly I don’t

I think a major cause is how dependent the United States is on the courts to decide the law. China is a technocracy with strong central state control so they can sidestep that; Japan, on the other hand, has a strong bureaucracy that given a

In the partition example isn’t the for loop condition a branch technically?

I live in Japan - when I see a package was sent to me with FedEx I feel a great sense of dread.

Part of it is that most of the libraries that came before we’re tightly coupled to a particular framework that itself went out of fashion, like Passport and Express, which is a problem because frameworks themselves have been moving in and o

Sorry for being dismissive - but I think that’s just a failure of imagination. Does every app using an adapter for Better Auth need to implement every plugin’s many thousands of operations, even if they’re only using basic functionality and

I guess what I’m saying is that I think the part about delegating databases to Better Auth relegates it to being only useful for throwaway projects and companies with low quality technical vision, and there is no actively developed alternat

I am bummed by this, basically sounds like they’re sunsetting future development into Auth.js. I tried Better Auth and it was not usable for what I wanted to do - I manage my own database schema and expose it through a permissioned GraphQL

As a Tokyo parent I don’t have to imagine because our family and friends do it and it works.

NYC is subpar too. The elevators never work, most stations don’t have escalators either, it’s filthy, taking your kids on the train will give them permanent hearing damage and large swaths of the city are completely unserviced. Your feeling

I live in Tokyo and have kids. Both cycling and transit are essential to most parents lives here. It is not that these are incompatible with family life, it’s that as it is implemented and maintained in the USA (read: badly), it is incompat

For what it's worth looking at the resulting UI, both the before and after screenshots do not look visually attractive. Whether or not that's a problem for this product, I don't know.

They built a half baked version of it and then haven’t finished it for a while but maybe they’ll get back to it sometime.

Don’t need to do what China did, can use other countries with adequate housing as a different model, like where I live, Tokyo. Ample housing construction driven by the market not by central planning, paired with large amounts of fast public

In major high cost of living American cities, the majority of cost is in land and regulatory uncertainty especially in California - years of lawsuits and public comment hearings etc for any changes to the built environment, zoning restricti

Yeah, I’m biased since my startup is a very non-AI payroll app, but trusting my finances to an LLM sounds frightening and the money saved is not much since just hiring an accountant whose neck is on the line to get it right just isn’t that

China actually has quite a bit of public debate and discontent around air quality at a minimum. They definitely care in that they don’t want to piss off the populace.

I think this is actually a good example despite how stark the differences are - both the nuisance AI scrapers and the drug addicts have negative externalities that while possible for them to self regulate, they are for whatever reasons prov

To be fair, most homes are replaced everywhere in Japan, since houses themselves are depreciating assets with all the earthquakes and everything. It is how things go here.

Other lines have some bangers too - used to live in Koenji and Asagaya, love those. https://youtu.be/wpw1MWH0AZI?si=ELfOL6QdgYCxHRyU https://youtu.be/4qFHVCMUrto?si=daYuWZWK_aQizbha
