Anecdotal evidence is literally the only type of evidence you're going to get regarding poor product quality short of a class action suit. Even then, you'd only get any sort of numbers if there's a recall.
My wife's Surface Pro has a weird screen ghosting issue that is apparently hardware-related and M$ has written off everyone with this issue. Give them 5 more years in the hardware industry (and a couple products that are actually bug-free) before giving them your money.
Otaku in general have gained some standing from things like Densha Otoko, but computer otaku specifically are still largely perceived as hikikomori. Computer otaku are a different breed from other more established forms of otaku in Japan. Anime otaku have also received only a minimal bump from Densha Otoko's popularity. The rise of "moe" culture has been viewed somewhat negatively by the population as a whole despite its popularity.
For a similar experience to Geocities, just visit ANY OTHER Japanese website. They over-invested in cellphones and gaming systems in the late 90's at the cost of the home PC market. The Xennials never became casual computer nerds, so your average Japanese person UNDER 40 is about as computer literate as your average American OVER 40. The ones who aren't are the social outcasts, which is why nerds are still sort of niche/taboo.
The guilt that torments him is in truly homeopathic amounts in ratio to that sea of money. It's roughly equivalent to the guilt I feel when I'm not sure if something is recyclable and it doesn't say on the package, so I throw it in the trash rather than check on Google.
"Artificial" Intelligence is a terrible term. "To artifice" means "to create as an artisan". It's infeasible for a human to "create" intelligence, we only have a slight idea how to "grow" it. At best, we can create logical patterns to act as the building blocks of intelligence, which then must be grown through environmental interaction (just like human intelligence). I prefer "Synthetic Intelligence". Throw a bunch of SI together with different inputs and you have a Synthetic Intelligence Network, which one might refer to as the SINgularity.
There's one known, indisputable method to create intelligence. But if you don't have infinite resources, it's probably infeasible. Really simple, though. Just gotta play a slightly expanded version of Conway's Game of Life in every possible configuration. Helps if you can do it in omni-parallel with some savvy compression algorithms.
Criminals can be the victims of crime, just like everyone else. Only difference is they won't call the police until they've cleaned up all the evidence of their own crimes.
Since I can't read the article, I can't tell, but the summary suggests to me that the money is being used only on the currently enrolled students, so your point is moot. I haven't suggested research is bad. I would say general practice is miserable for the pay. Insurance is a PITA, most of your patients are old and it'll only get worse. The whole world should be looking at Japan and trying to focus on solving their problems. If Japan can't figure something out with all their resources, the other mega countries are screwed as their populations age over the next couple decades.
These are students who were already committed to paying tuition. Nobody with a passion for research/general practice is enrolled at NYU unless they are independently wealthy. The best you can hope is that a laughable percentage of students switch to research/general practice out of gratitude (we all know how many people changed career goals motivated by gratitude). Make no mistake, this is a rote exercise in the rich getting richer at the expense of the regular taxpayer. Rescind the charitable tax write-off and see how much of that $450,000,000 sticks around to "do the right thing".
"Private money" is an illusion of capitalism. Money is a representation of means. This money is privately CONTROLLED. It will no longer be taxed after this "charitable" incompetence, meaning it IS me paying for it. You want to have more doctors do research or go into general practice? Increase the number of doctors or make those positions more desirable to the limited pool of candidates. Those are literally the only two conceivably viable options in a free society.
Let's pay the tuition of a bunch of students who are ALREADY PLANNING ON BECOMING DOCTORS. That's sure to increase the number of doctors willing to accept reduced pay as general practitioners or researchers. I'm sure doctors are avoiding those underpaid, underappreciated positions because they are saddled with debt, not because they desire high-paying, prestigious positions. It can't be because our insanely high tuition has scared everyone away from even considering the profession, creating an ever-shrinking pool of talent. Boy are we smart!
There's a MythBusters episode that shows the chain is actually the best defense if it's installed and used properly (i.e. slide it ALL the way). Deadbolts just took a couple good kicks but the chain took a lot of work.
How? The stakeholder companies will never unite enough to control the market in that fashion. And there are probably a dozen people just in this comments section (eleven other people) who could create a distributed system for media sharing. It's only gotten easier over the last two decades, and we were sharing all over the place back in the day!
Japanese "eras" have only been tied directly to the emperor since the Meiji Restoration (mid-1800's). The current era is only the 4th since this change. The Emperor takes a new name when they ascend the throne, so there has never been a way to know the name of the era in advance. Given the intense superstition prevalent in Japanese society, it seems incredibly unlikely a name would ever be disseminated in advance.
No, I call people out on their bullshit. Like people whose only contribution to a conversation is an ill-conceived, one-line logical fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
And another coward fails to stand up and be counted, as he lacks strength of conviction. Is everything in your life about cowardice?
Are you some sort of anti-privacy gun enthusiast? Feel like I'm looking at a unicorn... or an idiot, but I'll just maintain my positive perspective for now.
The gun people will talk about how you "don't need guns to kill people" and miss the point that any single murder in Japan is NATIONAL NEWS on an island where half the population of the US is crammed in a space the size of California. A relatively "interesting" Japanese murder (like this one) frequently ends up GLOBAL NEWS because it's so damn rare.
They DO have "sensible knife laws" in Japan. If you're caught walking around with a knife over a certain size (think it was ~2 inches), you're gonna have a bad time.
Yeah, what he said. As a legal professional, I've actually been amazed at how FAST this case has proceeded. People just don't understand that. This thing is a rocket ship. I'd love to get an idea of how they're processing things this quickly on the IT/discovery side. I could handle it more efficiently, of course;)

Couldn't make it TWO WORDS without a grammatical mistake? Literally the minimum necessary number of words for such a mistake. That's damn impressive.

Got momentarily tripped up trying to figure out how there was irony in a guy named "Moto" (source) getting killed in "Fuku" (luck) was ironic.
