NOT ONLY WOULD I DOWNLOAD A CAR, I WOULD THEN WORK ON A WAY TO LET EVERYONE DOWNLOAD CARS

I’m sure the Russians are savvy and use VPNs like China. It’s much less simple than just geofencing.

When it happened to me I was so scared I cried. I went to see my therapist, who told me I was shedding tears for fears.

Please read the article. They are talking about an improvement over existing algorithms by using quantum computing.

Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that Japanese immigration laws, at least toward high-skilled migrants, are relatively lenient compared to other developed countries, and that the main factor behind its low migrant inflows is because it is a highly unattractive migrant destination compared to other developed countries.

Yet in spite of this, the number of foreign residents in Japan in recent years is very high.

From the article itself:

However, the number of foreign workers in Japan reached a record high of 2,048,675 in 2023. This represents an increase of 225,950 over the past year, and is the first time that the figure has exceeded 2 million.

These foreigners benefit from visa systems introduced in recent years to attract experienced workers or those in need of training. Created in 2019, the status of “specified skilled worker” is accessible to people with skills in one of 12 defined economic sectors, including health, construction and agriculture.

In 2023, the “Highly skilled professional” visa (J-Skip) was created, aimed at researchers or senior executives whose annual salary exceeds 20 million yen (€121,000); as was the “Future creation individual” visa (J-Find), which enables graduates of 104 top universities – including France’s Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne Université – to obtain a long-term visa if they want to start a business or find a job.

This doesn’t sound low skilled to me. Also, the record high number of foreign workers surely means that they are, in fact, increasing immigration?

Edit: it looks like you changed your article. This is the article that was originally linked, and which I am referring to, to prevent reader confusion: https://archive.li/cefT3

I’ve heard this said about Japan on Lemmy more than once. Is there a source for the sentiment?

I think software developers deserve to be paid for their work. What an odd title.

I’m… not so sure about this. Also we can eat paper and that’s just mashed up wood, right?

Consuming sucrose or fructose also results in fat being generated in the liver. It’s like alcohol and less than ideal.

I tried for a while to think of their place but there’s nothing I would say is absolutely necessary. What is their place?

It’s more nuanced than that. In the case of sugary drinks however, since they are really easy to make, you won’t even need a black market.

The way I see it the general public is going to get a lesson about not believing everything one reads on the internet. This will lead to a general increase in internet literacy, which is great. Or maybe I’m just getting far too old.

Sounds to me like we’ve solved scarcity. Excellent.

What’s the word for something in the middle? Tepid?

The impact as of right now is that everyone thinks they’re being absolute assholes about it.

According to China’s Coast Guard, Manila’s ship had deliberately and dangerously approached a Chinese vessel in an unprofessional manner, forcing it to take control measures, including “boarding inspections and forced evictions.”

Oh no! An inflatable boat has approached our large, well equipped vessel! Quickly, we must forcefully board this boat even though it is “dangerous and deliberate,” and chop off their fingers! Then we will puncture their boat with our swords, that will show them!

I always buy Christmas cake after Christmas, it’s a steal.
