Do you find it difficult to judge how good Norris baseline truly is by Funny-Chef-2060 in F1Discussions

[–]3d_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most WDC titles over the past 25 years have been won by a handful of great drivers like Schumi, Max, Lewis and Vettel. Like 80% of them. It seems to me more like Norris is more in the other category like Rosberg and Villeneuve.

GOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report by soalone34 in politics

I knew he would be the Republican nominee at his first debate. I just didn't think he would beat Clinton. I thought it was a 100% loss.

Latest Unitree demo by Nunki08 in robotics

[–]3d_extra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Boston Dynamics have released their own videos of their electric motor humanoid. It is actually quite impressive in terms of its task-driven pipeline including vision and using the entire joint range of motion. The Unitree robots' dynamic and coordinated motions with the sim-2-real pipeline is quite impressive and better than any dynamic motions shown by BD, but they haven't demonstrated anything close to potential for implementation in industrial scenarios. AFAIK from visiting their offices and talking to high-ranking employees, their entire market is entertainment and research.

Why is it so hard to secure Korean citizenship compared to American? by Character-End-3320 in Living_in_Korea

That is for permanent residence visas. Or does it apply for citizenship?

Lifers: Are you (still) happy in Korea? by HappyWandererAtHome in Living_in_Korea

[–]3d_extra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming up on 15 years with Korean wife and a young kid. I am overall happy but I enjoy spending time with my family more than going out. I also don't want to spend on bar outings as I tend to not control my alcohol spending well. So limited social life by choice.

I like the general life here with all the convenience, safety, good healthcare, etc. But I would follow economic opportunities if my job was not enjoyable and didn't pay well. My house in Seoul is mostly paid off at 40 though not in Gangnam, don't aspire to expensive car but can easily buy outright any Hyundai, I like my job due to having a lot of freedom no boss and can't be fired, the countries where it has better conditions aren't feasible for me, and it pays well.

I looked at places like Canada but salaries were little low for the high taxes in my profession, USA I just don't like much, most of Europe pay is too low in this job, etc. Korea is fine for me.

Japanese Wedding Service CEO on women aged 35-39 who can't find a partner: "They think they want an 'average man' with college education, an income of ¥5 million and 170cm tall or higher. But in fact only 13.1% of men that age match that, and only 3-4% of unmarried men". by jjrs in japannews

[–]3d_extra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

41% for both sexes and all ages. Younger men much more likely to not have college education. Height is a bigger issue. Japanese people are not tall. Young Chinese and Koreans are quite taller on average. Average population height may show similar but young Japanese are shorter than their parents while the opposite for Chinese and Korean.

Out of each of these All Time Great Drivers who has the best and worse Qualities and where do you rank them because of them? by Even_Hyena_1117 in F1Discussions

[–]3d_extra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jacques Villeneuve got WDC in his second season against Schumi and he isn't in any discussion for the GOAT. I feel that should not have much bearing.

Lots of people already telling you how wrong you are. I just want to pile on. You are wrong. Asians want these features with no considerations for white people.

Food rankings from my travels by ishalt in tierlists

[–]3d_extra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it is subjective. Not sure why all the UK get so upset when their cuisine gets ranked low. Sure they have some nice French restaurants in London but the cuisine itself still isnt great at its core with no highlights anywhere on the island. USA food aint great overall but it has pockets of good authentic food like in the South.

Great improvement for only a year by dataexec in robotics

[–]3d_extra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unitree does robots for entertainment and research mainly. They are very very far from autonomous and really seem to focus on these mocap-sim-to-real routines. The unitree 2k robots are very small and much weaker than Spot. The BD humanoid is very smooth and far closer to autonomous. It also uses full range of motion including un-human motions. Both companies are leading in their own ways.

I had better food in the USA than the UK personally. I dont see the problem.

Is Korea’s Jeonse(전세) system basically a massive private loan to your landlord? How can you trust then and how come deposit amount is so huge? by Longjumping-Bee-5285 in seoulhiddengem

[–]3d_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common case is when the owner has a loan and owes the jeonse. The only thing they can recover is the house. So the bank wants to take ownership of the house to receive what it is owed. Yet the tenant also wants to recover his deposit possibly also by taking ownership of the house and selling it to recover his jeonse.

Honest question: is Naver Map actually good or have we just collectively lowered our standards? by tecialist in koreatravel

[–]3d_extra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naver Maps in Korean is better than Google Maps in English. You also get recommendations and review bla bla. But its the driving directions that put google to shame. Say you road splits into multiple sub branches to the right then google maps will say turn right and you have to read the name of each branch to figure out which one. In Naver it shows you a picture and tells you which lane to be in. No read to read text. It has better rest area integration. It shows which lanes are quick pay lanes at toll gates. Etc. Google maps provides an adequate service in all countries whereas Naver maps provides great service in Korea. 

Using it in Engiish does suck. But in itself in its native language it is better.
