I still find it amusing that they consider auto-play video OK as long as it's muted. Sound is the problem, but so is auto-playing itself.

Matter of taste, I believe... For me this public floor wouldn't be a waste. You could have boutiques, newspapers stand, florist or cafe, you name it, similarly to ground floors. When you have 50 floors "wasting" one or two fo

Could make more sense when connecting already public spaces. Let's say vertically built shopping malls directly connected to some big metro/train station. From there you could reach your premium office spaces farther away from the

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Things at home are the same every day. They may be fun for first 5 minutes but then, well, they are not. Outside - city streets, playground, park, forest, you name it - there are unlimited amount

They are seamless for some time now. You pay with the same card and lines are connected. At least JR and Metro is.

At this point I can't help but let my imagination loose. I assume it would be rather academic discussion, but anyway... Would that be possible, at current state of technology, to replace entire factory plant with robots? If so why no o

The thing is, in Japan it's nothing special. Even post office would do it. More, if you wish they would lleave the package in nearest combini so you can collect on the way back from work. Combini is a convenient store available almost

I would never allow them to leave my package at neighbors house and if they do I would write a note to the support. This is my package and I want it delivered to me. I can't understand what is the problem of rescheduling the delivery f

You'd be surprised how many people have no idea about English and they are pursuing development career. Successfully even. There are companies where you can consider yourself lucky if half of your team speaks English.
