You forgot to count 0. The alien should write 4 as 10, not 4.

I will trust it when I see it. The track record of the G7 in solving global warming is atrocious.

This read like some local region scheme to boost development. I still think it’s a better plan to establish a central fund for open sources and maybe even run a bureaucracy unit just dedicated to developing softwares for the public.

Always practice 3-2-1 if you really want to be safe. 3 copies, 2 different mediums, 1 off-site.

There’s limits to how much an individual investor can make with their genius foresight (or literal foresight in the case of this LN I guess) due to the limits of the market when you become a truly big player.

That would happen in real life with actual market that can responds to input and not a scripted simulation where all your gains doesn’t affect how the market moves. The MC might as well have unlimited wealth cheat code cause she’s throwing billion dollars around at this point.

Why not just have her reincarnate and become the PM or something if she actually wants to save the Japanese economy in this fantasy. Which would still be structurally impossible as America will force onerous terms on you, and one woman cannot force fundamental restructuring of the country even if they have power.

The Doyleish answer is the author doesn’t want to change the system and just want to write a story about how an already privileged individual in such system benefit from it. But the in story Watsonian answer is: the FMC is still a kid since it’s a story taking place between 91 and 08 and the FMC was born in 1990.

Isn’t that the book about a guy who tried to save a mismanaged feudal monarchy with Japanese food and culture?

I tried reading the first manga volume and all I could remember was the MC tried to promote idol culture and Japanese soba to fix some food issues in a starving country. For a “realist” his plans feel really unrealistic to me so I just dropped it.

CEO: don’t touch that, we are moving with higher velocity thanks to it.

Cause the US government is just a bunch of corporations under a trench coach. They want to privatize space using public money just like everything else on Earth. If it’s not space X then it’s gonna be Boeing, Ratheon, Amazon, etc that take that position. The age of public space exploration is closing, be ready for enshittification and exploitation in space.

Granted!! the insects can still buzzing around you constantly though. They just won’t land on you ever again.

Yes!

depends on the availability of the board, which historically has not been that great, the street price is gonna be upward twice to three times more than listed price.

Other people. Individualism is taken to it extreme limit where nobody else matter is the norm in the West. Why should “I” improve the life of any other people?

That’s probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It’s basically a one man project that’s holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

Sounds really sensible to me. What’s the actual alternative in this case?

that’s a micron of the boot the global south are feeling daily. They have not even outright taking your stuff while forcing you to pay for the gun they pointed at your face yet

/s Nothing to see here, just another friendly democracy working as intended. They’re totally cool unlike those godless Chinese commies.

that’s just console first UI design school Bethesda have subscribed to since Skyrim.

I have been in these kind of conversation a lot with my friends who work in tech. Even in tech circles, people wills till fall back to ‘unsafe’ solutions due to convenient an network effect. It sucks that we don’t have a universal protocal for instant messaging that work for all platforms and is secured (f**k Apple for that). At this point I agree that it’s just easier to just move on and use a normie chat app with burner accounts (which is increasingly harder to make nowadays)

internet in other parts of the world is honestly developing at astounding speed. I got offered 1gbps synchronous fiber for $75/month in Vietnam in 2019.

I remember people talking about a HSR system linking the three biggest cities in Texas way back in 2010s. They couldn’t even raise enough support to finish the research for the placement of the train stops. Not sure this will even get pass that.
