These companies became household names during a period of incredible economic growth in Japan (60s - 80's). But economic growth at that level is not sustainable (as China is finding out), and the country went into a recession in the 90's. Japan is still one of the wealthiest and most productive nations in the world, but the borrowing to fuel its growth has caught up, and it now has one of the largest debt-to-gdp ratios.
Clearly you can... Let's see:

Underground?: Yes, Yes

Budget: $2bn, $12bn (or whatever)

On-time?: Yes, Yes

Is a tunnel?: No, Yes

While they may be Japanese brands they aren't Japanese companies, they are multi-nationals. Much like the US they have outsourced all of their manufacturing. A strong Honda that manufactures their motorcycles in Thailand and their cars in North America doesn't translate into robust Japanese employment. Fewer local jobs means less money going into the local economy.

Too bad that "no evidence it is unsafe" is not the same as "hey, it's safe."

There's a difference in the mindset on the two sides of the Atlantic ocean. In the US it's:"If you can prove it was not safe you can sue the hell out of them. Until then: sell it." In Europe it's currently: "Unless they can prove it is safe, it may not enter the market."

The former is good for business, the latter might be a little overprotective, but in the end keeps people safe.
Was 538 that good at predicting outcomes of the 2012 primaries? I know it's well established that they did a good job on the 2008 and 2012 general elections.

Primaries have to be harder because there is far less polling information compared to the general election. Yes, they were unable to predict the Trump victory, but if the get 90-100% of states correct in the general election, then I doubt that much has changed with how polling reflects the electorate.
Which would make it an even more fun roller coaster!

In my anecdotal experience with 10 machines and 40 services, half of machines dedicated and half in amazon - i've tried:

k8s - great but for >>10 machines and you need a devops to watch and configure it + every configuration example on site is broken in one way or another. skydns is working for dns. has it's own overlay network.

nomad - great, but doesn't manage dns or network + i didn't get how to save it to file, only upload to nomad. What if it fails? Where cluster config is stored? May be it should be used with Terraform, but i did't like it. Thou for it's purposes it working good. Has concept of long running tasks and can run VM's

helios - i don't remember exactly why but i didn't like it. Something with configuration management. No network or dns.

maestro-ng - this is as raw as it gets. Basically docker compose. I was using it for a while, but it hit it's limits pretty fast. No network or dns.

rancher - after seeing it in action i fell in love. Beautiful UI (you can even view logs and start shell from web ui, and it works great!). Has DNS, manages your overlay network. Store configuration in mysql (i use amazon's rds with MZ). It has it's own perfectly capable scheduler - Cattle. And it can run k8s and mesos if you want it to. I highly recommend OpenVPN package that will connect you to internal overlay network and you will be able to work with services walled from outside world.
I know a popular meme in SV/tech culture is that apps can solve everything but this is a much harder problem than that, requiring a societal and possibly government response. I don't think you can even begin to address it at the scale of one startup, at best you can skim some money off the top.

> Recorded music is the advertising for the musician. I don't understand why I should pay for that advertising. What they are advertising is their ability to perform music and they will receive my money when I pay to watch them perform or purchase their merchandise.

No. Just no. Concerts and merchandise are lame excuses for people who prefer not to pay for music. You don't decide what the artist is selling.

In most cases the album is the actual product. You may see it as an advertisement, but it has a very real price tag attached. If you don't want to pay for it, fine - but please don't feel entitled to it because you attended a concert or bought a shirt.
Furthermore, do you realize that not every artist is a rock band? An ambient artist releases intended for home listening, may have a hard time
a) selling t-shirts to a mature audience that isn't all that interested in colorful prints on hip shirts

b) filling anything but the smallest venues since the music might be less suited for clubs and stadiums compared to that band you probably had in mind

> I don't get paid for people to use my work without any involvement from me past the fact I created something. Why should a musician be paid for you listening to the music they created. They aren't putting in any hours for me to hear that past the original creation. What are they getting paid for?

I can't believe how naive this sounds. You probably don't sell any kind of digital good, do you? Would you say the same thing about software, apps, books? The artist put a lot of hours into the original work and that's what you pay for.
Do you think you paid for the medium or the distribution process back when you bought CDs? That was a fraction of the price.

> On that note... fuck the music industry.

The music industry is much more than the handful of major labels. There are countless small, caring and niche labels that absolutely have the interests of artists and listeners in mind in everything they do. Your view is very narrow in that regard.

He certainly didn't understand how wealth is created and confused a temporary situation with an abstract truth.

It is not socialism that has brought millions of people across the world out of utter poverty in the last 20-30 years.

"Economists with the National Bureau of Economic Research released a working paper in 2009 on global poverty concluding that the world had seen a significant decrease in extreme poverty—defined at the time as living on $1 or less per day—between 1970 and 2006. While even a significant decrease in extreme poverty still leaves much room for additional gains, the decrease in rates of extreme poverty during this period of time is stunning. "

Another part of this I think that people don't really talk about is increased social isolation as a direct cause of Internet addiction and the rise of social media and online gaming. There is a term for this concept in Japan 'hikikomori', but it's just as true in the US.

As someone who recently turned 30, yet has remained single most of my life despite my other successes, I see it very clearly. I grew up along with the Internet as many people in my generation did. Even when around other people in my age group, everyone is disconnected from each other. There's less empathy and relationships in my generation feel more superficial. At any moment, someone will pull out a smartphone and be using social media while literally standing around with a group of supposed friends. I'd say it's the group of people I've hung out with if it weren't for observing the same in the wild many many times.

I think we still haven't figured out what all the unintended consequences from technology are going to be, and I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't end up seeing a sharp decline in the birth rate among whites in the US to go along with the increase in younger deaths. Not just because of the consequences of social isolation on mental health, but because the lack of social connectedness that exists today makes it almost impossible to actually procreate.
Southern NH has the benefit of having a 6.25% lower COL than MA but still being close enough to the Boston area that it can draw from those resources.

The income/property tax situation hits people living in NH but working in MA hardest. If you live in NH it's very much to your advantage to work there too.

Northern New England is tons more compatible with people who aren't from left leaning communities on the coasts than southern New England. Many people are willing to take the hit in terms of $$ in order to live in a place that's compatible with them. In NH can set of fireworks for your friend's birthday party and nobody will bat an eyelash. You can have a conversation with someone in the checkout line about where you go shooting on the weekends and your favorite cheap shotgun rounds. You can roll up to the gas station with two fresh deer in your truck bed and get compliments instead of dirty looks. You can part out a car in your driveway and it's more likely that whoever complains will be shunned by the neighborhood than you will. Few people do all of these things with regularity but many, many, competent, highly skilled individuals want to do one or two and can appreciate the freedom to do so.

The state colleges in "flyover states" might not be MIT and Harvard but they churn out a non-negligible amount of skilled white collar workers and many of those who wind up in the Boston area chasing careers find the cost additional cost of living in NH to be worth paying in exchange for living somewhere they're not culturally incompatible.

It was only a matter of time until employers started tapping into this.

One kind of a record in Finland was a man deceased for six years before anyone noticed. He had already mummified in his bed when found. Even the landlord didn't ask after him, as the rent was automatically paid by social services for this whole time.

There's also an English Wikipedia page of the case at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunula_mummy.
Wait, how is this worse than developing country steals IP for domestic market, can't sell abroad in countries where IP matters? China can and does appropriate IP as needed, this is basically xiaomi's modus operandi. It stops working when developing country company wants to make money in developed market where IP is owned, which I guess is what they want with the patent portfolio.

China in general has said "we don't care" about IP rights, it is only changing now because (a) they are beginning to have their own IP to protect, (b) it is a race to the bottom between local companies when NO IP is protected, and (c) you will get sued to death on products sold in developed markets that are questionable in IP usage.

High value jobs for the rich, low value jobs for the poor. Sounds like China, the USA, and the rest of the world. Do not treat China as one homogenous pile of poor workers.

Krita is my absolute favorite tool when I'm drawing with a Wacom. It gets out of the way and let you get in "the zone" and has many powerful features. It's just fantastic.
The original author is German.

From the About page:

The name KImageShop fell foul of trademark law in Germany, and KImageShop was renamed to Krayon, which also appeared to infringe on an existing trademark, so Krayon was finally renamed to Krita in 2002.

Of course, "Krita" can also be read as K-rita, where "rita" means "draw" in Swedish (but not in German) and the K is the usual Qt/KDE prefix.

However, here[0] is a mailing list message from 2002 that answers:

it is the Swedish work [sic] for crayon.

So it seems you're really spot on.

There's some interesting analysis of the math behind Spot It! on stackoverflow [1].

That post mentions the Fano Plane, which, incidentally, I first read about in the book How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg, a mathematician quoted in the article about Set that started this thread. In the book, he uses the Fano Plane to explain how to pick numbers for a specific kind of lottery.

I think the media has a role to play here too, the idea that you need romantic love in order to be successful or complete is a toxic one.

Edit: a lot of replies to my comment are misinterpreting what I'm saying as "romance is a new idea invented by the media" when all I said is that it's possible to have a complete and successful life without romance.
Imagine an old depressed person who needs a daily dose of human empathy, just like everyone else, but can't give anything in return. Can your startup help such a person? I'm with the other commenter, this is a societal problem. To make even a small dent, we need an army of volunteers with calliagnosia or Williams syndrome, or something even more drastic...

Krita is more of a Corel Painter competitor then Photoshop.

I have used Krita for years. Krita was a better Gimp and then they drastically turned it into a painting program. I would not use Krita for most things Gimp they are two different tool kits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_internal_heat_budget

"The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47 terawatts (TW) and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth."

Of course it will not solve poverty. That's not the point. The point is that it will solve the self-destruction of social wealth. In particular, it will prevent the expansion of poverty to include the vast majority of currently wealthy persons.
We all want clean toilets and most of us want to respect the health and dignity of others. Therefore we'll continue to see technological advancement in cleaning supplies, dirt resistant materails, and eventually automation. That's the whole basis of BI, at least for the techno optimists.

I see it as a net positive for society. If someone wants to clean toilets, they can do so. Right now, the people who clean our toilets might not want to do it. They are forced.
