English Premier League is the best league in the world, so why would any English player want to play elsewhere?

Regarding different playing styles: Premier League has a lot of players and managers from all around the world, so there is no shortage of different playing styles.

I think the real reasons why England has such limited success in football are these:

- having best (and richest) leaque is a mixed blessing: brings a lot of foreign players, taking spots away from native English ones.

- another reason, related to previous: English teams have a lot of money, so they prefer buying players and not training them themselves. Compare that with Spanish teams (Real, Barcelona) which have those big training sites for junior players, and usually half of the senior team line-ups is made of it's alumni. That's why Spain has plenty of world-class players, and England doesn't.

I don’t think those definitions are at all canonical, but are you actually suggesting that Google may have a “privacy issue” per your definition? Even if you assume they’re a bad actor, it’s hard to imagine a rationale for them to let a third party have a go at the data.

I’ll try to clarify. In my opinion, the weakness of neural systems is their inability to deal with input for which they have comparatively little or no training. There’s no way around that, except by introducing structures or systems outside the neural nets themselves that provide logical frameworks for dealing with rare events. (And I don’t just mean a bunch of logic in code. Expert systems are one potential approach, for example.)

Your point was that mosern autonomous driving systems can drastically reduce fatalities over human drivers—-and I agree, but only for circumstances for which the car’s neural systems have been well-trained. But the systems ought to be able to handle ~99.99% of the types of circumstances gracefully before most of us will trust them to safely drive us around.

I thought it would be about observing the behaviour of a system that is trading on the market. The input to the system would consist, for example, of other people's trades.
> I haven't really managed to do anything (the same problem I had when I was working for other companies).

I've seen this same pattern in the software industry repeat itself many times, at all levels. People are not hitting the level of success they want, and think that doing their own company will solve all the problems. But it doesn't. As you have found, the reasons your career stagnates will normally also cause struggles when you are the boss. Instead, I recommend that you first learn to be productive in any environment, for any boss. Then you need to start finding better bosses and environments. And finally decide if you, personally, are the best boss for yourself. This is a process that take time, effort, and lots of honest self-evaluation. But you'll be a more successful and happier person for it.

I don't know your details, but it sounds like your next step on that path would be to get somewhere that you are comfortable and happy outside of work, so you have more energy to reflect on why you struggle at work. Find a mentor/coach to help you figure out why you are not productive, and fix those problems. Once those are fixed, you will have the chance to choose your next move from a place of productivity and positivity, not desperation.
Yes, visiting the times square location always used to be the highlight of my NYC visit. It reminded me of the toy store showed in home alone 2 (which I watched a lot growing up). Another one which I will miss is the FAO Schwarz store in NYC (which was also owned by Toys R Us).

I feel sad thinking that my son will never experience that joy of going to these huge Toy stores. At best, his experience will be limited to the kids section at Target/Walmart (if they are still around by the time he is old enough to visit them).

I've been here for three years and gave up on the deep self introspection not long after arriving. If it helps you, remember that you're not Japanese and never will be, nor will you ever be held to the same standards (although they're not particularly high - some of the "Japanese manners" I've witnessed here have been downright abhorrent). I've seen a few founders with that mindset who have done quite well for themselves here.

One of the more interesting theories I've heard is the link between the housing crisis and the retail crisis. When you live in a tiny shoebox, the last thing you need is more stuff. Back in the days people had comparatively huge houses all to themselves, and could buy crap to their heart's content.
The reason why English clubs are not successfull internationally is proably because their own league is so demanding, that they simply save their strength for national competition, ignoring Champions League altogether.

And this even makes financial sense, because winning Premier League pays much bigger money than winning Champions League.
I remember trying to build a scraper for Amazon. I quickly discovered that there are many types of item pages, and they change over time too. A/B testing probably. Just to get the price of the product out of their HTML markup reliably was a nightmare, I had to build a huge tree of if-this-then-maybe-that logic.
There's a lot of good advice in this thread.

I'd +1:

- Seeing a mental health professional. This has a stigma, but don't let it be that. It's just a safe space for you to air thoughts and process them. It's been invaluable to me. I've seen some recommendations for Tokyo Counseling [1] and plan to visit them myself.

- Grab a bilingual accountant / assistant. I only see a very small side of my company's business, but ( from banking to general business customs ) things are much different than anything I experienced in the US.

- When you're ready -- I would sit down and look at your monthly spend and realistically plan out the next x months. If possible, reach out to friends and family to develop a fallback plan so that it relieves some pressure. Even if your business doesn't pick up, you get to keep your experience and keep moving forward with life.

>I haven't really managed to do anything (the same problem I had when I was working for other companies)_

It sounds like you're either too tired or burnt out to actually put the energy into what you want to do. I have most of my energy at the beginning of the day. If I say, "I'll go work out" or "I'll skip studying X this morning and do it tonight" it will never happen. So, maybe looking at your most productive times of the day to see if you can put some more structure around getting things going.

Best of luck

The article mentioned the Irish chain Smyths. This is a company that has grown from one store in a small Irish city to expanding in to and dominating the UK market in just over 30 years. Having shopped in both I can see the difference.

Toys 'R' Us felt like it wanted to be part of the toy experience with their whimsical logo, mascot, jingle and colourful in-store decoration.

Smyths on the other hand is just a toy warehouse. They forego the mascot, jingle and colorful stores instead focusing on making sure they always have what the children want. In other words Smyths knows that the toy is the experience, not the store.

Delegating activity that was once exclusively done by humans to "machines", exposes a surface of attack that did not exist before.
Just off the top of my head:

> they could've spent some time losing money while they pivot to a new business strategy

There is zero evidence, in the history of Toys 'R' Us or their failed competitors, that another strategy would have worked. More likely? It would have limped along until the next recession. In any case, I see no reason to blame capital structure when a simpler explanation abounds: Amazon taught people to buy toys online.

Yes, you're looking for the Passmark "Best Value" ranking: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html It's also helpfully represented as a scatter plot: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html#multic....

Unsurprisingly, older generation models tend to dominate that list. Keep in mind that the thermal efficiency for Xeon v2 and v3 models is lower than v4; Passmark does not include power draw in this ranking. If you can afford the extra power usage and don't mind DDR3 RAM, high clockspeed + high core CPUs can be had relatively cheaply by going with V2.
This reply is completely tangential to the focus/topic of your comment, but I wanted to say: THIS is the model of how to do open source.

The developers get financial security while they're working so they can focus, everyone is funded to sit in one place (sometimes) which makes for great communication... and then everybody (society as a whole) get to benefit.

If we don't figure out how to make computers write our programs for us within the next 10 years, this is the development model of the future.
There are issues with the analogue aspects of the SID.

No problem with the digital, but the oscillators, filters etc rely on imperfections of the silicon manufacturing process back in the day. I'm given to understanding that they weren't so much designed as were just "there" and exploited to make sounds.

This is evident in how different generations of SID sound slightly different.
Internet cafes/PC baangs never really caught on in the US -- home connectivity spread much faster and supplanted the need for such businesses in wealthier areas, and shared resources like public libraries serve less well-heeled areas.
The segway died because it was trivial to tip it over without a lot of practice and training, which is not ideal for adults, and it cost thousands of dollars to purchase.

I don't understand why people keep repeating this story. Bain Capital had to provide huge amounts of collateral (upwards of a billion dollars), all of which was lost in the bankruptcy. Do people really believe that PE firms will write of a loss of hundreds of millions in order to make a few million in management fees?
Postgres however has moved quite a way since 2016 when the post was written, so it is possibly even factually incorrect at 2018.

Postgres switched to much more rapid release scheme, and is making a lot of ergonomic and performance improvements since they got the "correctness" part down (such as auto vacuum, etc), which only came together in last couple years.

> never says that autopilot system is self driving

That sentence sounds strange to me. It is called 'autopilot', and in our society's mindshare - this means self-driving. Either way, the public believe these cars are self-driving, and as a result, people likely buy the car for this feature.

To make clearer what I meant by pattern bindings being available:

if let Some(x) = y {
println!("y has a value, {}", x);
}

Whereas with a method, the contents of the variant are not bound:

if y.is_some() {
println!("y has a value, {}", /* uh… */);
}

In Rust, pattern matching is the only to get at the contents of an enum. Methods like is_some() are just this:

pub fn is_some(&self) -> bool {
match *self {
Some(_) => true,
None => false,
}
}
I understand that there are many reasons why it may make sense to leave a building unnoccupied, I just don't think that "dodging taxes" (because losing money reduces your tax bill) is one of them.

A job-seeker may pass on an offer that he considers too low (because he's confident he will find something better later), no one would say he's doing so to avoid paying income taxes.

> I don't want my actions to reflect badly on other foreigners in Japan

This is a false problem. First of all, you are not responsible for the behaviour of all the other people in Japan. Second, foreigners had done much worst things in Japan than you. The bar is pretty high. If japanese can forgive Hiroshima, they can and will forgive your sins.

If you have paperwork to fill and do not understand it, you need either a consultor, a lawyer or talk with the government. You are losing money, and earning money is the purpose of having a company, so maybe your company must die. I bet that there are legal ways to close down a company in Japan. Ask for the Japanese equivalent to bankrupt (破産した).
I worked as a C++ developer for three years and switched to Go development this year. I used to love making a "generic" solution to a given problem using templates in C++.

It's not about typos. Nim borrowed a lot from Pascal when it started life, and Pascal, like BASIC, Fortran, some LISPs, Excel, NTFS, HFS+ and many others, is case insensitive.

What you say is equivalent to "I want to be able to declare three independent variables called camelCase, camel_case and camelcase", and Nim says "no, you can't do that in the same scope" (which is a little more strict than pascal which says "you can have camel_case distinct from the other two, but those two are equivalent).

Experience shows that case sensitivity is harder to use in general[0]; "Although we resisted changing the Python implementation, our user testing data forced us to make ... Python case insensitive. Over 85% of our users made case errors and many continued to do so even after learning that case was significant." it's just that you're used to it; same with respect to int/int vs true division.

I'm feeling an almost dejavu to the early days of Python, when the standard response (which people still repeat sometimes, though rarely these days) was "what!?!? you mean spaces are significant!?!? that's horrible". But this is equivalent to saying "I want to be able to write code that behaves differently then it looks, such the C code:

if (nuclear_launch_detected)
notify_the_president();
launch_strike(STRIKE_MODE_MUTUALLY_ASSURED_DESTRUCTION);

(The like of which make iPhones and Macs susceptible to eavesdropping for a long time). Python says, "Nah, you can't do that". It's opinionated, but experience shows it works better overall.

But the human has lots of hardware built in for adjusting aperture, edge detection, spectral imaging. That's just scraping the surface. Though its standard configuration is stereo, giving it substantial redundancy as well as automatic redundancy It also has helper hardware to adjust for vantage point - it can even shift spatially in 3 dimensions up to a meter in any direction to find new vantage points, feeding all sorts of data (including mechanical linkage positioning and angular data) into the integrating system, giving a deluge of data apt for world building.

Edit: not to mention state-of-the-art sensor fusion, with atmospheric composition analyzer, thermometer, multiple high resolution vibration sensors, stereo microphones and an advanced vehicle to vehicle signalling system backed by heuristic fallbacks.

One or two fixed position monochrome, low resolution forward facing cameras such as in a Tesla just won't compare.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but the Tesla engineers have a much harder task than if they'd had human level sensors. The Tesla "brain" is more like a human looking out of a tank through a periscope in a tank or something... and the periscope can't even be turned.
