#242First click reminded me of Summer Wars[1] (Japanese: サマーウォーズ) immediately! The music video[2] nicely retains the opening effect. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Wars [2]: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZuj-uTvdYc
Thanks for the link, this looks awesome. I’m trying to catch up with the best anime in the period 2002-2018, and this just made the list.
You can't miss REDLINE (2009).

#243Attention: It nearly flipping fried my CPU. But awesome site. Tested On both Safari and Chrome on macOS. 100% CPU usage when scrolling. Edit: On WOW, from the comments I decide to try it on my iPhone 11. Ultra Smooth Rendering with Music ( which wasn't even playing on my Mac ). And my phone isn't even warm after a minutes of playing around. Amazing Which makes me wonder. Why?
Yes, I experienced something similar. Issues on certain devices / browser combos. But smooth animation on others. I'd like to delve in deeper when I get time to investigate. But generally Web Audio API "sprites" play on the main thread and can lead to sync issues. ThreeJS uses requestAnimationFrame which can also yield vast FPS differences across devices. Developers can calibrate rendering per device, but its a lot of procedural code. Better to just do what Yamauchi has done: get it in a playable state and make a splash ;)

Lower classes in Italy are not as much penalized as in the US. Eviction takes YEARS and it's just impossible in some situations (kids in the house), healthcare is free for all, personal debt is not as aggressive as here, unpaid debt is a nightmare to go afer. So unemployment figures are not really that important to gauge quality of life. We had many scandals where people just didn't want to get hired and do small wor…
> Eviction takes YEARS and it's just impossible in some situations (kids in the house), healthcare is free for all, personal debt is not as aggressive as here, unpaid debt is a nightmare to go afer. That may be, for now, but the problems are real. For young people with degrees, wages are not comparable with those of Nothern Europe, and many end up living with their parents for years, in between poorly paid, insecure…
That is quite true, its is probably very difficult for a single person in Italy to go live on their own due to house prices. But as a culture, Italians might also not feel any need to leave home as soon as other people.
I live in a neighboring country, Malta, and we share some similarities. Because our country are two small islands, housing is very expensive. So we have a unique case where a lot of people live with their parents until they get married or are in a very very stable relationship/financially well. This makes us very dependant on our parents, but it is not as bad as people make it seem. Our parents can depend on us to help and we continue saving.
There isin't a lot that can be done. Moving to one of the Northern European countries will not solve the problems our Southern countries are having.

Sounds like the issue is that the "blue collar industries" employers need to offer higher salaries?
I'm sure their customers will completely understand, pay the higher costs without complaint, and not at all go and find alternative suppliers.
The alternative suppliers that don't have any employees?

Your point is orthogonal to the stagnation issue. Yes, Japan is still a wonderful place to live, the best in the world I’d personally say. But it is most certainly stagnating. There’s enough momentum, cultural advantage, and existing wealth to continue to carry it forward for quite a while, but the energy and ambition is gone. That’s what GP was describing and that’s what the Yamauchi family is targeting. I also love…
Thank you for your honest reply. Here is a thought experiment about growth: What if Google never grew again, but maintained the same revenues and profits going forward? To be clear: Their stock price would crash because portfolio theory teaches us that stock price is an indication of future earnings growth. This is what Japan looks like in my mind: Very rich and developed by global standards, but mostly economically…
Rebuilding is not a problem. It is the birth rate that is a problem. Tokyo is vacuuming everyone from countryside. You get some refugees in their 30s moving back but it is a trickle.
This fund is a typical Japanese corporate bullshit. You can see who manages it an know everything you need to.
They could just pay 10mil yen stipend per child after second and it would be far more effective. Japan needs young people, period. Not more taxes, infrastructure etc
I lived in Japan for a while, loved it. But the crash when it comes in 10-20years as countryside disintegrates is going to be horrific.

The real issue may be that the investors won't understand, and won't take reduced profits without complaint.

Why not call your retirement fund managers and let them know you really don't need _that_ much of a pension after all.

I'll take the lower pension, will you pass on the message for me? For some reason, the fund managers won't take calls from individual participants.
I'm just noting there's multiple dials here, and it's weird that it's often totally forgotten that "less profits" is just as reasonable as "higher consumer prices." Also you'll note that there are some people who profit extraordinarily from capital and have extraordinary control, and there are some people who profit much less and have even less control than that (and have little choice but to participate in the system as it exists). It's a false equivalency to equate the two.
