Does anyone how does this stack up against the eVTOL aircraft made by Archer Aviation? Archer Aviation is a U.S. listed company.

What a Cowardly Act!? Causing Nuisance and then hiding away.

I would suggest restoration cost + penalty and lifetime entry ban after deportation.

I am going for a test drive. I'll get one if I like it. Just for my curiosity.

Based on many experts the yen will be at around 230 by the end of the century , Good for Japan any way you look at it.

Why would it be good for Japan when foreigners can come in to buy up all assets (such as properties) cheaply, and it's more expansive to import foreign goods and material?

Apple car didn't happen. But many of the technology that was developed will certainly be carried into future products in various forms. The fault was not in cancelling the project. It was in starting it when such was not deeply connected to the other strengths nor the ecosystem of Apple.

People don't get Vision Pro yet. The price point may be "high" for many people. It is a first gen product not meant for the masses at this moment. It is cheap for the technology involved to make it happen. No one else can put such marvel together except for Apple, let alone at that price point. It'll certainly open up interesting opportunities for Apple in the future.

The on-device AI approach and partnership with OpenAI is genius. Why put up resources and take the risk to reinvent the wheel with uncertain outcome, when there is another ready low risk and sensible approach? It allows Apple to maintain flexibility as the AI story unfold. And the privacy focus further distinguishes Apple from other phone makers.

I expect the upcoming AI iPhone cycle will be huge as it is a bargain given the productivity boosts it can provide. I also can't wait for the foldable iPhone and iPad. Apple is expansive when looking in the rear mirror but not so when looking into the future. The next 3 to 5 years will be golden for Apple.

It disgusts me to see all these heartless comments. Noami enjoyed playing tennis and discovered/developed her talent. She has social anxiety and got really anxious at press conferences. She probably tried her best to manage along the way but at times it still got over her head. Do you know what it is like for someone who suffers social anxiety? Can we be decent human beings and be empathetic with her instead of stoning her? What's the BS about she signed up to do press conferences as part of her job? Did she have a choice? She loves playing tennis, so should her try to overcome her social anxiety or give up her dream of becoming a top tennis player? What kind of morons would not try to support her? Simply imagine your daughter in her shoes. Would you still make the same criticisms?

I apologize if i had gone overboard. I almost feel her pain since my daughter has similar mental issue. It's hard to imagine the hell they had to go through trying to put up a brave facade every day. The least we can do is to be empathetic and supportive.

It also reflects the fact that Japanese normally doesn't stay on illegally after end of their terms of stays. Lack of language mastery, adventurous mindset, and resourcefulness to survive in a foreign land, together with safety and stability to live in own country anyway?

It doesn't mean Mexican goods will cut profit by 20%? How does Mexico pay for the wall? The U.S. consumers do.

@donkusaiJ Rep John Lewis should keep quiet and not share his view while Mr. Trump #notmypresident can spread fake news and information? The system does not break down precisely because of the check-and-balance and people's right NOT to be silenced. People can judged for themselves who to believe. If the presidency is so insecure and venerable (cannot withstand any criticism) then something is terribly wrong. President Obama, and all presidents before him, are subject to the same scrutiny and attacks from opposing views. What kind of democracy is it to ask people to shut up and rally behind the government regardless of its legitimacy or behavior?

@M3M3M3 @Moonraker The motive could be greed (and the kick on being able to get away from being caught?). A wealthy celebrity shoplift not because he/she can't afford the item. He/she wants it but doesn't want to pay for it? The excitement of living on the edge? Who knows. But the premise that if someone can afford the item they won't steal it is just not true. Maybe they won't if they think and weight carefully. In that split moment, greed, foolishness, and lack of a sense of decency took over.

Raven Bo xyberc - If that's the case, people japan can sue for private property in china, manchu,korea.

Yes, they can. And it would be dealt with according to their respective court systems - in China, in Japan, and in any country. That is the pretense, of course. But who says it is not ugly?

I think you mean objective

bfg4987 A company is perpetual. So - yes you can, when it is a company. The verdict and seizure can happen under a western court, unless the case passes the statue of limitations. Of course we are not naive enough to believe the Chinese and Japanese courts (and enforcements) are not biased and not being instruments of the respective governments.

It was a civil suit, therefore China claimed the 1972 joint communique does not matter.

It takes a few seconds to twit while finding Matsuyama to speak to him takes more efforts. It's an electronic world. Some people are now used to twit almost everything on their minds.

It is customary for the host to provide guest slippers in Japan. However, it is not the norm in the U.S. (I think) so guests may feel disgusted to have to walk around barefoot or in their socks.

For a change, I suggest Japan make the prosecution process transparent. Present objective evidences and show the confession video in court so the Chinese side cannot dispute without making themselves look ridiculous.

I think Hashimoto should send his mother, wife, and daughter to offer "comfort" to the American solders in Okinawa "to reduce the incidence of sexual crimes" by American soldiers there. "You want to give these emotionally charged soldiers a rest somewhere, it’s clear that you need a comfort women system" - well said, Hashimoto-kun.

The reality is ... it is an act of war when a weaker country locks its targeting radars on a stronger country's vessels, but not the other way round.

How else can he be able to stir up sentiments for changing the constitution? Suits his purpose.

The fact that 1 Schindler elevator malfunction and got someone killed, does it mean "4,499 other Schindler elevators had been working without error"? What kind of logic?

But you don't buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini for reliability, do you?

They found usage for the radioactive crushed stones after all.

Why don't the SK returns the money in today's value and the Japanese government split the payments - directly to the comfort woman victims and then the rest back to the SK government for other compensations? Is that not the right thing to do if the SK cannot sort it out among themselves?

I would hand it in. Could not respect myself otherwise. But if it is a Billion, ........ it would be painful.

@pawatan

As long as the food is properly labelled, what's wrong with that? Should Japan block all imports in order to protect jobs? Let the consumer choose. If someone else can provide a quality product at a low price, isn't that wonderful? Why harm the majority for the few? The consumers are robbed of their choices to subsidize for the farmers. Is that the right way?

Send the rice to the politicians, top bureaucrats, and TEPCO executives. We can kill two birds with one stone.

Korean girl ahead of Japanese girl again. I concur.

Are the call girls Japanese?

Yeah, it is amazingly clean and orderly for such a big city, isn't it?

Shouldn't increasing population gives a boost to real estate prices in Tokyo (at some point), or are there just unending supplies?

Unless ex is abusive to the child(ren), I despise people who strip ex of visitation right. That is abhorrently selfish, period. Don't people have the decency to feel for others? You cannot make it as couple shouldn't translate into getting at each other's throat at every opportunity.
