Lots of architects / tech leads read this instead as: "design the software to fit the maximum team cognitive load that you desire”. They actually over-complicate software builds in order to justify headcount later. "Oh whoops yes we now need a whole full time Ops team, don't worry I know just the guys".
This is also the visa that many middle class Taiwanese and Chinese people use to move to Japan. It's basically a visa for sale under the auspices of a "business visa".
Can this strategy be used while working remotely as a regular employee for an American company? In other words, does the Japanese business have to generate any revenue?
How so? I’m genuinely curious as a current Tokyo resident.
The main issues Vancouver seems to face are:
Affordability and Housing Crisis: Tokyo is a remarkably affordable city given its status. There’s housing stock at pretty much every price level.
Homelessness and Street Disorder: not a problem in Tokyo
Drug Addiction and Overdose Crisis: not a problem in Tokyo
Traffic Congestion and Transportation: public transportation is stellar in Tokyo. Traffic can get pretty crazy at rush hour, but I hear that’s been the case for a long time and it’s not much of a problem if you use the aforementioned fantastic train system.
FWIW, I left San Francisco after close to 15 years due to the issues above. Tokyo has its problems, but they don’t seem to be in the same category.
Agree it’s not as bad as Vancouver, but housing costs in Tokyo are rising [1]. And speculation by Chinese investors is being blamed, similar to Vancouver.
And while I agree that public transportation is excellent, commuting every day on crowded trains, which can take an hour or more for many people, would be hell for me personally.
Only this year, did the most central parts of Tokyo finally return to their peak property prices from 1989. Tokyo is a steal compared to its "Global Alpha" counterparts.
Why would you publish research about the activities of the company you are a board member of? Did she see OpenAI itself as an experiment to study? What's the mentality?
This was explored at least once by Twitter under Dick Costolo. Pretty quickly abandoned. Turns out media sites don’t want to embed other ads from other platforms on their site.
As is discussed in the article, their identities were leaked. A portion of them came from companies that would commercially benefit from content scanning contracts.
Interestingly the Japanese incarnation of WeWork has high occupancy, a separate ownership structure (WeWork Inc. is a shareholder) and they are putting messages out that they will be totally fine.
