This sounds very similar to the work places I've seen in Japan, too. Essentially those who don't work as much unpaid, voluntary overtime as others don't get promotions, get shafted on bonuses, and very passive-aggressively &q

Working in Japan for a Japanese company I hope to give some insight. I find most people in America that worked overtime felt that it was necessary to work because of all the tasks that needed to be completed. In Japan the overtime seems m

When I'm determined to do something I believe making a list is the most effective way to get work done. If I can make a concise, well-divided list of tasks I want to complete for the day I almost always complete it before the day'

> Lyft came to town Sounds like the parent is referring to his/her town. It's still anecdotal because surely the parent doesn't have that statistic but it very well may be the case in his/her town.

But Japan's not really full of raccoons. I've never seen a raccoon in ~4 years here and I've seen 30+ wild tanukis (up to 10 or so could have been the same ones). It also states in the article that Hokkaido has been killing o

I think a much better reason that people ditch their cars is the increased safety in the newer models. Very few cars had side air bags and a decent amount didn't have ABS 15 years ago. There are a lot of other improvements surely made

Never heard of it until now. It's an interesting concept and sounded a little far-fetched but considering there's a reddit subreddit with 128k users I will definitely try it out.

Don't worry the post didn't sound patronizing at all. I don't always have problems sleeping but I definitely believe I have a harder time than most people even on regular, mostly care-free nights. I definitely don't thin

This may work for you but it doesn't work for me and a lot of others. Particularly after a stressful day the basic "10 tips" etc don't work. I've "counted" 300 sheep and gave up. I've counted down fro

I don't know Fernando Aguilar but is the reason he's 6D not that he's capped at it before becoming professional? IIRC when I played in SF bay area (probably all of USA in the AGA), you couldn't get higher than 6D(7D?) wi

What I mean by solving "every" move is that the AI would be able to determine which trees are a "losing" state and not continue, removing well over 99% (or 99.999% I don't know) of the possible games. I guess maybe

Can't they effectively "solve" chess with the power of AlphaGo? Someone posted on the last thread that the AI plays one game of go every 2 seconds against itself to train (that's ~150 moves/second). Wouldn't ch

Given that there's only one flip left and you need 6 heads, he has a 1/2^6 or 1/64 chance to win. In go the last 8 moves is almost never going to make the difference (the last 20-40 moves in a game that doesn't end in re

You can make huge fundamental changes like "you cannot connect 3 stones in a row" or you cannot make a certain shape with your stones. There are 'bad' shapes in go that you learn when you're young that almost neve

That's a sad thing about sony products. I know they can justify the prices due to high R&D costs but it makes it difficult for the average consumer to purchase their products (I'm fairly sure I'm not their target). For ex

I agree about the importance of medical devices but I don't think diabetic coma happens as easily as you think for most (if they are on one of those full-systems). From what I've seen from insulin pumps/systems: 1. There is a

Thanks for the long write-up. I'm actually employed in Japan now but it was quite some work to get a position. I have a very long commute so I'd be much happier with either a remote position or one closer to my home but haven&#x27

As an ex-go player (I pretty much stopped completely) I don't agree with your statement. You of course want to maximize your chances of winning but that means getting the most out of the current situation. If there's a play that y

You can buy any of theirs that was manufactured in the last 1.5-2 years and you shouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't buy one that was originally made 3-4 years ago just because the cells might have lost a lot of capacity. Like the

Do you have any experience doing this? I've done lots of work in Unity and Android/iOS but mostly making games (70-75%). I looked at upwork and all the posts for game-related material looked terrible . I prefer to not make game
