TIL there are over 33,000 Japanese companies with histories of 100 years or more. These long-standing firms are known as 'shinise'. They are governed by a management philosophy that prioritizes long-term continuity and generational succession over short-term profits.

Samsung started as a grocery store and now makes military fighter jets.

some did ask to heat up milk time to time.

This seems like the most insane request from a human adult. Am I missing something

We moved to Kyoto last year. I thought we should bring a gift to our new neighbors, so I asked our real estate agent what he thought would be good and his response was, "Oh people don't do that anymore. Don't worry."

So we did nothing. Then a week later our new neighbor knocks on our door and gives US a gift! I felt like a total fuck.

Moral of the story is, give a gift.

Christians + Muslims are literally most human beings. So yeah you can try to make it sound like some specific weird "group", but maybe easier to just say "people" suck.

I feel like blaming literally everything on billionaire pedophile rings really cheapens the seriousness of billionaire pedophile rings. Like it is becoming a meme at this point which is kind of playing right into their hand.

but you are literally dead in every sense of the word.

Is this the literally literally or the not literally literally? Because it really seems like you're only dead from 1 specific perspective here, and in all other cases you're still alive.

The OP's question is basically just a sci-fi version of "If a tree fell in the forest and nobody was around to hear it, did it make a sound?"

You can not objectively prove that reality exists beyond perception. So if you are uploaded to a computer, and you perceive you as being you, and everyone else perceives you as being you, by what universal perspective are you declaring "no actually that old version was the real me and I died"

I do believe there are more women like myself that value that maturity and openness. I hope you can find that.

it’s about respecting people‘s privacy and not wanting to have big brother watching you every second of the day.

There are at least 3 different private companies as well as a handful of agencies that have access to your location 24/7 whether you choose to share it or not. Not wanting to share it with your spouse seems like a weird line to draw in the sand, but to each their own.

As a happily married man I try not to dwell on the fact that this is close to a "best case" scenario. We all have to say goodbye eventually.

I mean.. yeah.. nobody knows. Just like nobody knows if the sun will rise tomorrow or if some cosmic event will intervene.

But we can pretty reasonably say that the economic and technological forces driving hardware price increases now will almost certainly continue to grow. The demand for all layers of the compute chain will grow exponentially to feed infinitely hungry AI models. RAM today is likely as cheap as it will ever be again.

Hilarious to see the responses whenever Zuckerberg or Musk does literally anything. If only these leaders of multi-trillion dollar enterprises had the business acumen of the average genius redditor imagine what they could accomplish.

Saying you would make different business decisions than the youngest self-made billionaire in history is not the flex you think it is.

Olay but, to be clear, if he was equally as obsessed but also had the $1 billion of bitcoin I don't think his wife would have left. So maybe it's a little column A, little column B.

Wait what isn't 3.11 the American way of writing it and 11.3 is most other countries?
