>I think anyone being racist should be heavily reprimanded.

The problem with this is that many who share this idea don't have a good idea of what 'racism' actually is.

Note: it is NOT racist to vote for policies that advantage yourself over someone from another group, perhaps of a different race, whom you've never met, and to whom you owe nothing.
Cloud-hosted JIRA is missing a lot of features compared to host-yourself JIRA.

> Interesting that the author mentions that the term "Bushido" wasn't really a thing until last century. I was sure I saw the term mentioned in the writing of Miyamoto Musashi, but I assume that might have been a modern translators interpretation. (I read the English version, not the native Japanese one).

I'm not sure about the author level of Japanese, but when he said that the term "bushido" was not used but the terms "bushi no michi" existed before, well it's the exact same thing. 武士道　is bushido and 武士の道 is bushi no michi. The exact same writing, but a slightly different expression. It can't be that far off of a concept.

I agree ... to a point. Instead of dissolving the entire corporation, I think that there should be (in cases like this) where the "Corporate Veil" can be pierced and individuals (in this case, Executive Officers) can be be brought to trial, sentenced, and held personally accountable for their decisions - including prison sentences.

That would get the CxO in other companies attention, in a double-quick-time fashion.

I do agree that fines that seem astronomical to us (USD15Bn is huge in any personal context), to a corporation can be just The Cost of Doing Business. Depending on how long they've been doing this, they may have made twice that amount.

Respectfully, that's a bullshit point of view.

For the japanese military in WWII, rape was normal. Butchering civilian populations wholesale was normal. The Americans and British did not play by those rules, even though we did a lot of killing. This was not two equivalent evils.

I lament that this seems true.
I recently (3 months) started iaidô[1] in my Japanese university club, and one thing that struck me was how few "bullshit" talks we had about the discipline. In contrast, when browsing for clubs in my country, each website was filled with a last a few paragraphs saying how spiritual the art is, how it is all about discovering yourself and the truth of the universe.

People of my club are more interested in it because katana are cool than the bushidô spirit or something -- basically nobody ever talked about it. Anyway, when everybody train I cannot help to feel the underlying military spirit of the it, and how in a society like Japan it can quickly turn the way it turned in WWII.

Boxing, judo, grappling and wrestling all are more practical than karate.

The core issue with karate is that it is loaded with formal or ritualistic representations of fighting. Karate kicks, punches and blocks are all hopelessly unusable when fighting a boxer for example, who is trained to defend their head and hit their opponents head hard and fast. By contrast, few, if any, karate stances are explicitly defending the head from being hit. The more extreme examples include holding the fist at the hip - a truly useless place for a fist to be during a fight.

The term "bushido" itself can be seen from late 16c literature (甲陽軍鑑, written between 1575 and 1586, is said as the first written appearance of the word), but initially it meant more practical skills of combat or survival. I don't have Miyamoto Musashi's book at hand but I suspect if he used the term it had the similar meaning.
I think Judo and Aikido are more practical. They focus more on grappling and emphasize the redirection of the opponent's force.

Most people are better off learning combat systems aimed towards personal defense:

I haven't taken the time to compare the sizes of the effects, but it doesn't sit well that they blow past seemingly obvious ways extra wheel mass would go in the opposite direction. I see at least two places they do this:

Air Resistance:

> However, this force will produce a greater change in speed on the bike with less mass.

But the wheels act as (unsurprisingly) flywheels. Extra weight in the wheels adds both momentum and angular momentum, while frame mass adds only the former. This is exactly symmetric to their acceleration argument, so it's kind of shocking they skipped it.

Internal Friction

> More mass on a bike can increase the friction in the bearings—but again, this won’t matter where the mass is located.

As an extreme example, a massful wheel with a massless frame clearly has no bearing friction. I'm pretty sure wheel weight does not contribute to bearing friction.

Does anyone have any insight into why these matter less than the acceleration bit?

> As long a Germany and France are on board, the EU will survive in some form.

They won't be on board much longer. The EU is nonsense at its very core. It is a corrupt cesspool where a select group of unelected masters rule over the unwashed masses.

It is a farcical idealized fantasy. It doesn't exist the way the people idealized it to exist.

> The UK has always been an obstacle to tighter integration, and that obstacle will likely be gone soon.

Actually, the UK was a force for tighter integration. After all english and modern anglo culture is the dominant culture of the EU.

It is just shocking how naive people are. The problem with the EU is precisely france and germany. To have "integration", you have to have a common language, culture, history, etc. So will french or german be the language of the EU? That's just the basic first level aspect of a "union".

The only way the EU will ever work is if one dominant nation/ethnic group/etc conquers the whole thing and forcibly integrates the region. And that won't happen anytime soon.

Greece and Hungary are probably next to leave soon to be followed by everyone else.

England has canada, australia, new zealand and of course the US. England is part of the anglosphere. England will be fine.

I think you're missing the point... It is bad publicity if your followers read a negative thing you say about a company. But it is good publicity if that company publicly fixes it. They essentially turn customer service into free marketing (so maybe its intentional that its the more effective than other methods of communication for receiving customer support?).
My impression is a lot of soldiers and contemporaneous sources said Japanese fought to the death, engaged in suicidal 'banzai charges', killed themselves rather than surrender, and that those few who did surrender thought it was shameful, and had been taught to expect mistreatment from Americans similar to what Japan dished out on e.g. the Bataan Death March.

Now it's quite possible that some of that was exaggerated and history as written by the victors. (authors like Leckie, Sledge, Jones ... have their books but didn't get too far)

But if your opponent is willing to surrender, it's generally a better tactic to let them surrender, than to have a no-prisoners policy that means their only hope for survival is to defeat you.

Not saying there was no racism, no brutality, no war crimes from the American side, but would need to see more evidence that the relative lack of prisoners was 100% due to American war criminality vs. how Japanese fought.

There's been a tremendous change in the number of recognised employment cateogories over the past 150 years or so. The high-water point for distinct employments came around 1920 in the US, at least according to Census classifications.

What you'll see is a shift from farm and ag, and transport categories to first manufacturing and especially railroad categories, then management and various professional classifications.

By 1920 most major modern technologies existed, the major exceptions being television (and all its associated work), computers, nuclear energy, and some specific classifications of chemical work.

Many of today's jobs might best be considered "complexity management": managing people or things, inspecting or certifying them, training and teaching, sales and marketing (especially), government.

I guess i'm super conservative about sourcing when reading arguments made about historical topics (and academic papers at least tend to make it clear whether or not their sourcing is primary, secondary, or what).

Especially when it comes to claims of what the common perception was at any particular point in human history i am always curious to see not what someone's narrative is, but what they're building their case upon.

(also as an aside the use of The Last Samurai as a lens or touchstone for discussing bushido was a bit weird to me given how prevalent the notion of bushido is. But maybe i'm just sad that that's the go-to reference.)

I don't need more range or more speed. I need it to reliably connect and stay connected while devices are well within range of each other, and stop breaking every time I upgrade anything. Unfortunately that would require making it less complex, which is about as likely as a broken egg spontaneously reassembling.
It seems like a setup that gives remote users access to building-integrated CCTV feeds, microphones, and speakers for an intercom-like interface with a nice UI for navigating and directly connecting to a local user's devices (based on "where" they are in the space) would work much better than a "centralized" mobile machine. I would guess those whose culture already respects a presence of disembodied and remotely connected souls (transdimensional spirits, perhaps) would have an easy route to adopting this.
I think it's a bandwidth issue. If I use bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and headphones at the same time, the mouse becomes very sluggish. It works totally fine if I turn off either the keyboard or the headphone.
A slight quibble: not all the change is simply cosmetic. The ways in which we interact with things can change quite markedly. If you're deep in the guts of technology, any technology, this is quite apparent. I've heard the comment made by programmers, Web designers, auto mechanics, doctors, carpenters, and more.

But the impacts of those changes ... not so much. The whole concept of impact measurement is its own ball of waxworms, but there are some areas we can look at. Medicine, for example, improved life expectancy twice as much from 1900-1950 as from 1950 to today. The low-hanging fruit really mattered. Air travel today is slower than in 1970s, when ground and airport delays are considered. A multi-millionfold increase in compute power has extended long-range weather prediction from five days to ... seven. (Though the minute-by-minute near-term forecasts can be uncannily accurate.)

I completely relate to this.

I realized things needed to seriously change when I couldn't recall how long I'd been living in NYC or my apartment (4 and 3 years), and when I did the math I couldn't believe how much longer it was than I thought. The last year or so has basically been a blur aside from a few interesting memories (eg. vacations). It's not even like I've been working really hard, I've just been living a dull life on autopilot doing the same thing over and over again.

I've noticed that time passes slower when you're doing more interesting things. When I'm on vacation, the days feel much longer and fuller and I remember them in vivid detail. On the other hand, a month at the office is often just one continuous blur (I wrote about this here: http://jdiculous.blogspot.com/2016/04/slow-down-time-routine...). Also I'd been struggling to wake up before 10am and generally feeling sleep-deprived during the week, but on vacation I naturally wake up bright and early at 6:30-7:30am and fully awake.

I just quit my job and flew to Tokyo just to experience something different. My first day I woke up at 7am and went to bed at 7am. That single day was more memorable than the weeks if not months before I quit my job.

I've just managed to land a remote job. My plan is to travel around, and I'm hoping that the freshness of constantly being exposed to new environments and experiences outside my comfort zone will keep me sharp and more engaged with life rather than another forgettable year in an air-conditioned open office at the same desk around the same people.

Bluetooth 4 is actually not bad at all in my experience. Pairing is painless relative to old versions; sound quality is flawless; connections are quite reliable. The "strain" is to be expected around other devices since Bluetooth uses 2.4GHz, a very crowded band. I can't speak to the technical bits since I never looked at them, but my experience as a consumer has been positive.
