Posted in: Companies find it's not so simple to leave Russia; some quietly stay put See in context

It’s not about staying or leaving, it’s more about investing in Russia or not. Right now it’s strongly not. Even Russian professionals are not investing in Russia by escaping it in numbers. To add more, Russian market is ridiculously small and shrinking (don’t get fooled by its territory on a map), so its really not a big deal.

Its so frustrating when new generations inventing the wheel over and over again and making a progress largely based on their own mistakes.

Posted in: Germany hopes to help climate with discount travel card See in context

The best for the climate is to significantly reduce the number of people and to keep them poor, so that consumption is low. Other measures have an impact close to zero.

In an industry the level of the content is strongly connected with the level of a consumer. If people don’t mind to consume fastfood, a few will make an effort to make something extraordinary.

Posted in: Why are the French so angry over retiring 2 years later? See in context

I thought they should be happy. People could always quit their job at any age, but sometimes they can’t work longer because of reaching the retirement age. So, increasing the retirement age means more flexibility, isn’t it?

Posted in: Police urge cyclists to wear helmets ahead of mandate on April 1 See in context

I am glad the helmets are not mandatory at this time. Given 8M bicycles in Tokyo, the statistics in this article actually shows that wearing helmets is unnecessary unless your riding style is really crazy.

I am very interested in this situation. Acceleration means we will see some interesting results very soon. It’s like a big experiment. Let’s see how it will develop, and if the government will be able to do anything about this, and which measures will work the most.

I don’t see the point of the protest. Korea already de-facto occupying the island in the same manner as Russia occupying Northern territories.

Posted in: Facebook-owner Meta to roll out paid subscription See in context

Oh no! It seems that all that garbage we tirelessly generate every day is not sufficient for Facebook to cover our transition to the dream of all humankind: The Metaverse :))) Lets empty our pockets a little bit (but monthly) and the geniuses from Meta will use them in the best possible way!

Posted in: Twitter's new data fees leave scientists scrambling for funding – or cutting research See in context

Twitter is not the only social media platform and I'm sure anyone can get the same garbage from others like FB....all for free. What is so special about Twitter and their data?

The above article is dedicated to explain how Twitter is useful to make our life better. They even have examples. As for FB etc., I am not sure, but perhaps Twitter is more suited to share time critical condensed information, rather than long pointless stories.

Posted in: Twitter's new data fees leave scientists scrambling for funding – or cutting research See in context

I am not a big fan of the latest developments in Twitter, bit this time I am supporting their decision. In this scientific area data is the king and Twitter is doing most of the job. It’s only fair to pay more to Twitter than to the scientists.

For example, most universities are slow-moving bureaucracies with a lot of red tape.

That is the key problem, not Twitter.

However, many researchers will be unable to cover the as yet unspecified costs of the paid service because they work on fixed or limited budgets.

which means this type of research is probably less important anyways.

Posted in: Chinese navy vessel enters waters near Kagoshima Prefecture islands See in context

Japan has submarines, right? Isn’t they job to make foreign military vessels intruding Japanese territorial waters to sail down? I hope next article will start like this: “Japan is a peaceful nation, but the ocean in its territorial waters is a bit rough etc…”

Posted in: Cabinet adopts policy of using nuclear reactors beyond 60 years See in context

While most of Japanese houses older than 20 years old are considered not safe and often demolished, temples, traditional houses and nuclear reactors from 60s are the core of Japanese culture and carefully preserved. I recommend to apply the reactors to become part of UNESCO’s World heritage listing.

I am glad I didn’t see the original, so I could enjoy it without the burden of comparing. The plot and play were a bit silly (as expected), but the sound and the visuals were fantastic.

Public toilets? Go the hell! People are visiting Soho to immerse themselves into the romantic historical atmosphere of London in 1800th, when the streets were full of horse dung and the air was filled with the mixture of urine and other household waste smells :)

Posted in: Wuhan turns page on COVID, three years on See in context

I am sure China has much lower death tolls than America's 1.5 million deaths and other third world country like India. China is much successfully to beat the Covid. The people of Wuhan has a done a very good job !

I hope you are right, but I am afraid it’s not over for China. Also, please take a look at the last paragraph of this article.

But I arrived at the point where I am actively paying considerable amounts of money not to fly with a Chinese airline to never having to deal with their staff, organisation, airports, and co-travelers ever again in my life.

Exact experience from my side on all aspects.

No matter who’s missile it was, Russian or Ukrainian anti-air missile, the responsibility lies solely on Russia. Ukrainians don’t fire anti-air missiles just for fun without a necessary reason.

Posted in: 50.1% of Japanese companies suffering from labor shortage: survey See in context

You people are lacking context - Japan is an easy country to get a working visa for. If you have a degree, and a job lined up, the paperwork is straightforward and affordable. It's thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in other first-world countries, with stipulations such as age and linguistic proficiency, salary etc.

Absolutely agree!
