HN isn't just for news about startups and tech, it's also about topics of interest to curious critical thinkers (which pretty much defines us, don't you think?). A little bit of /r/DepthHub here is a good thing.

#14The subject is interesting, especially because I'm married to a Japanese - but man do I hate articles that go round and round like this one. Here, have a little bit of a sociological hypothesis - but let's not go too deep for your little brains shall we? Here, have a little bit of anecdotal evidence instead. Enough of that? Alright, let's start over again. [...] Oh I'm outa time, let's end the article now, kthxbye.
It's probably too much to ask - but I think there should be something in between a scientific journal and common journalism. In technology we have some pretty insightful articles coming up in blogs now and then, articles where sources are cited and you can go deeper on any subject if you like. Why can't traditional journalists not use the web the way it is meant to?

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because it suggests that there is a market for a startup that disrupts lack of sex in Japan.
PG says "do things that don't scale." At first "acquire users manually", then later you can automate the sexual process. I promise to apply these concepts when I go to Japan.

I don't know what "v...t" or "o...p.....s" means but consider that you might be confusing the cause and effect here: assuming that there's correlation between consuming $WEIRD_PORN and being unable to have normal relationships [1] it may not be that people become unable to have those relationships due to exposure to $WEIRD_PORN so much as that people who turn to $WEIRD_PORN were already unable to have them. This creates demand and $WEIRD_PORN gets produced.
[1] "Normal" a defined by a given society.
Edit: removed a comparison of the parent poster's argument to "violent video games make people violent".

why does saying "married to a Japanese" sound so much more awkward then saying "married to an American/Canadian"

Yes, nerds, sex, nothing to see here move along. Fine, if this part bothers you, how about we tackle the actual subject from another angle:

Population decline is multifaceted and rather important - countries that experience it don't seem to bounce back, and it has far reaching economic implications.

well it doesn't to me - but maybe that's because I'm not American? Why does it sound weird to you?
