The idea that appetites are assigned at birth is a bold claim. Is there evidence to support it?
Well, you've reduced a rational position to absurdity here. The concern isn't that someone is going to require chemotherapy. The concern is that an asymptomatic condition will go undisclosed until it is symptomatic, at…
> "Hanshin, Hankyu, Kentetsu, Nankai" Also Keihan. And most, if not all, of these companies have huge land and real estate development projects generating non-rail income all up and down their lines.
Something doesn't add up. The entire Japanese healthcare system is built around the idea that preventative testing for asymptomatic conditions is effective. You can read all about it, if you want. Personally, I think…
I don't think there's much difference? The technicians that perform the tests are not doctors. You usually see a doc for 5 mins at the end, to discuss any anomalies. Even then, they're just going to refer you to see…
This doesn't hold up for me in Japan. My apartment is in a building that's 10 years old now, and I've been here since it was new. Japan famously builds for a 20-ish-year depreciation schedule, although buildings like…
Insurance companies dislike paying for procedures instead of passively collecting premiums. Not sure how you missed that.

Rather than dealing with the issue—hypochondriacs or whatever—you prefer to remove the option for the non-hypochondriacs? The fact that doctors like your wife think that people who are concerned about their health and…
In Japan, the government gives everyone a battery of full body tests at least once per year. I guess you know better than Japan, right? The whole argument that "you'll worry yourself sick" is such patronizing trash.…
How brainwashed by the healthcare machine do you have to be to think that catching asymptomatic medical issues is a bad thing? The argument against is literally: - patients will worry too much, and - it will cost time…
"What possible use could there be for doing this?" I've encountered this attitude before, and I always find it perplexing that there are people who are annoyed by, even hostile to, the idea of frequent health telemetry.…
Have you visited literally any city outside Japan or Singapore lately? Law and order works, whether you like it or not. They're allowed to do it their way. Results speak for themselves.
Charges were dropped does not mean innocent. It means the investigation determined that the case wasn't worth pursuing. Japan has strict rules about importing drugs. The lack of drug abuse in Japan is one of the reasons…
As if that was ever the goal. Japan is plenty popular.
We're not talking about the US. We're talking about Japan, where the authorities are extremely conservative and cautious. Most Japanese people know how to stay completely clear of trouble. Ask yourself why this person…
This is just bias confirmation theater for a certain worldview.
This is almost certainly a Japanese product for Japanese people/companies who will give it to other Japanese people as a GIFT. Japan has a never-ending gifting protocol. People buy perfectly normal beer in a fancy box,…
No one is going to get mad at you for violating these, but they will judge you. If you're trying to get along with a person from a proper Japanese family, you'll fail unless you know all of these and more. For example,…
No functional difference whatsoever. Literally the exact same solution, but somehow dressed up to be contrarian.
If you don't have a record of questions asked/answered and rationale for decisions taken, I've noticed it's easy for subsequent feature plans to clash. Maintaining a line of consistency across each feature plan is a…
Feature plans generated by agents are often transient documents that fall away once the plan is executed. Ideally, that artifact would be preserved alongside the implementation. My experience is that Cursor's reliance…
The paper focuses on math and finance—i.e., quantitative matters. It seems obvious that language models are not suitable for determinative number-crunching unless they generate a program to compute the response as an…
