2014-03-23 From now on, I start to send counter-messages to the person who wrote reproachful phase against my diary, so I ask you to prepare your logic beforehand.

"From the day before yesterday, suddenly, the PV count of my specified diary become increasing in a rapid pace"

I would continue the issue today, too.

I have gotten mad with you. (I could clam down to such a degree that I begin to write this topic my "Japanese English")

-----

I prepared to the following actions before this conversation with my daughter,

- to talk about signification, method and approach by several meetings with my wife

- access to several papers and books

- to hear other opinions and social trend about sexually transmitted diseases.

Additionally,

I wrote down again and again about the scenario, using MindMap method (If you doubt it, I am going to open my note on a specified conditions)

I tried again and again to simulate the story with talk rhetoric neither seriously nor frivolously.

After that, I made up my mind that I should think about

the risk of my daughter's life

I didn't dare write the process of my annoying.

Finally, I open the important fact of

"I had already told her to talk about this issue in advance"

The reason why I didn't write the process was, I think, nobody enjoy that and want to hear that.

I also didn't want to write that explicitly.

-----

By the way, I believe that I could use the following phase because I opened my situations in detail.

From now on, I start to send counter-messages to the person who wrote reproachful phase against my diary, so I ask you to prepare your logic beforehand.

Open your counter proposal to me.


2015-03-23 When I was a junior student, I have heard a phrase of "English is needed from now" since then. Now persons who really use English is only 4%.

(Continuation from yesterday)

In fact, my daughters has no image of "themselves of using English".

For them, English is one of the subjects they should study, and problems they should solve in examinations.

In order to understand the situation of this apathy, it become enough to make an image that we are enforced to study a disused language (for example, Tamil).

According to my trial calculations, only 4% of worker population in Japan, really needs English.

Accumulating these facts, I return the result that I made a conclusion before, that "It is not our responsibility not to be loved by English".

-----

Many people in Japan have an idea that we should adapt to the internationalization but we don't accept an immigrant community. In short, Japanese people think that the internationalization is just on foreign countries, not our homeland.

We never use English as a tool of the internationalization under the convenient fiction story.

I think that the above is the same situation that we study skiing by using training books only, not going ski field once, and want to be a splendid skier. (or a just leisure to go a ski field and a restaurant at the bottom.

When I was a junior student, I have heard a phrase of "English is needed from now" since then. Now persons who really use English is only 4%.

It is natural that the motivation for the studying English doesn't happen.

It's not that we should stop studying English. It might become same of the silly writer wife and husband who insist on "quadratic function is not needed".(As I recall, why do they say "English is not needed, because the users are only 4% in Japan"?)

(To be continued)


2016-03-23 Come on , Guy with a rebuttal.

Today, a new column is released, so I take a day off.

"Let's turn the world by "Number" Diet (28)

Now I would like to ask you "do you really need your diet".

This is the final of the series.

-----

Summary are,

(1) "Easy diet" does not exist.

(2) The principle of "if too eating, being fat, if less eating, losing weight" is absolute.

Come on , Guy with a rebuttal.

Respectfully we will pick you up, with one year's worth of data,simulation program of hypothesis testing that has been backed by data, and the result of the calculation.


2017-03-23 It is a vulgar song, shouting repeatedly "let us kiss"

Originally, I have liked to being alone, so I was not good at group work of science experiment and field trip during the period of junior and junior-high school,

Therefore,

I used to finish work of all members alone.

Above all, I was a great boy that had prepared an attraction of annual school festival alone.

In addition, I presented an excuse for all of the classmate, that was "they helped decoration of the attraction", as a perfect follow-through service.

I was happy because I could work on my own.

The others were also happy, because they didn't do anything.

This is really "Win-Win relationship".

-----

All of sudden, I remember that I was compelled to do "folk dance" in junior and junior-high school.

I am afraid that the enforced event might continue.

In my opinion, many people seemed not to enjoy doing the "fork dance".

As far as I was concerned, it was rather terrible pain to cheerful feeling.

I had trouble in running with the teams, and moreover the reason I came to feel an aversion against "fork dance" was lyrics to a song whose name was "jenkka", as I recalled.

This time, I tried to write the lyrics down, however, I felt dizzy even starting to write the first phrase.

It cannot be helped, so I try to make one phrase.

"It is a vulgar song, shouting repeatedly "let us kiss""

Considering neat paranoiac of junior and junior-high school students, I do say that it is unspeakable an unintelligible song.

The contents of lyrics is "eery", and even if the background of song might be uncommon, it is too stupid.

To begin with, I think that it is possible to approve "this song might cultivate sexual harassment".

When I think children who feel pain with hearing this song and letting them dance, I feel a tightening in my chest.

You might think that Ebata doesn't have to act like this.


2018-03-23 My wife asked me "Do you want to start an English conversation lesson ?" in a black rage.

When I sorted the ads for recruiting for "English conversation lesson" for circulation boards of the neighborhood association,

My wife asked me "Do you want to start an English conversation lesson ?" in a black rage.

"It might be highest possible misunderstanding in several years"

I almost burst into laughing.

-----

One day on Sunday, when I worked at hall counter,

a foreigner at the next town came to the counter to try to reserve a room for the event of "English conversation lesson".

As just a trigger, I started to help her for inquiries to the head of the neighborhood association and ads distributions by the circulation boards, by e-mail.

------

I am a writer of the works whose title is "New strategies for engineers who are not loved by English". So even if I try to start "English conversation lesson" by myself,

this is not a "joke" but a "serious affair"


2019-03-23 This is like a former socialist state and a present dictatorship, where a petition was encouraged.

(Continuation from yesterday)

Today, I finally found the cause of the "inactive system".

It was security software (Macfee) that was pre-installed on the PC.

Uninstalling this software to an unrecoverable level, resolved this three problems at once, and the system started.

The reason the system did not work even if I changed the setting of Windows OS, that this software was blocking the system.

Even so, although it is acceptable to block ping and http packets, how this malicious software interferes with the process on the personal computer.

Though it was only a moment, I thought of "an arson" to this company.

-----

However, security software is designed to protect PCs from "malicious" software developers.

The majority of PCs are "users", and on the other hand, "developers" do not reach 0.2% (300,000 / 130 million) of them.

So, the behavior of this software is "not wrong", rather it can be said that "work well".

-----

However, if the software crush everything, it would be safe.

- It continues to monitor not only external attacks, but also spyware that may have entered the internal process.

This is like a former socialist state and a present dictatorship, where a petition was encouraged.

- In addition, it ignores the laws of the world (settings of Windows 10) recognized by the legislative body (system administrator) of that country, and continues monitoring, and eliminates if necessary.

This is like a secret police lurking in the country illegally.

(To be continued)


2020-03-23 Even if there is really the researcher, "you are stupid."

"I hate the word" big data "or" AI "from the bottom of my heart" has already been sickly talked about for two years.

Nevertheless, the word "AI" has been used internally.

Of course, all researchers around me have to use the word "AI", after fully understanding the emptiness of words,

If there is a researcher who seriously thinks "a technology called "AI" exists", I would say "you are a liar".

Even if there is really the researcher, "you are stupid."

-----

The other day, when I was having dinner in the company cafeteria, I received a phone call from the rude junior.

The content was a request for research in the next term

Junior:"Nobody is proper for this request except for Mr.Ebata, who is Big data authority and AI specialist" "

Ebata: "You are fighting me?"


2021-03-23 Something has now started to move in me, which had stopped with the 1995 terrestrial "Operation Yakima" and the "MAGI system takeover".

Our senior daughter is now locked onto "Evangelion".

She seems to have started with a movie that is currently being shown.

It may not be "Her father's bloodline that got me into anime after the last episode", but it's good to get into it this way.

-----

As I have mentioned, I am one of those people who could never get into "Evangelion".

If you ask me who is more unhappy, those who can't get into it or those who can't get into it, it goes without saying that it is the latter.

So I was thinking that from now on, I might be able to have a "commentator" in the family, so that I can be interested in it, and so on.

I found the article astonishing.

======

This time, I'd like to introduce you to the science fiction movie "Sayonara Jupiter," released in 1984 (Showa 59), which suddenly drew attention when the movie's insert song "VOYAGER - Tombstone without a Date" sung by Eumin was used in "Shin Evangelion the Movie," which is currently being released to rave reviews.

=====

What the...?

You said "VOYAGER - Tombstone Without a Date" didn't you?

"Novel Goodbye Jupiter", the best science fiction about an engineer in the 22nd century

The movie "Goodbye Jupiter" ruined the original story.

The song "VOYAGER - Tombstone without a Date" was created in the movie and is used in Shin Evangelion the Movie.

-----

Anything related to "Goodbye Jupiter" is my field.

Something has now started to move in me, which had stopped with the 1995 terrestrial "Operation Yakima" and the "MAGI system takeover".


2022-03-23 I think the vision of "a nation that supports social infrastructure with EVs and distributed storage batteries + natural energy" will probably surprise the world.

It was a long time ago, but I wrote a column, whose title was

'Is There Enough Electricity in Japan? --Let's try to verify it by converting it into "the number of maids"'

about major power outage -- "blackout".

In my estimation, the blackout in Japan will occur in "mid-summer".

I never expected that the danger would come in the form of an earthquake → power plant shutdown → cold wave → midwinter blackout.

The "Power Tight Alert".

-----

By the way, there is something I can't say out loud.

One of the quickest ways to promote electric vehicles (EVs), renewables, and large-scale energy storage systems is to have frequent power outages.

By analogy, an EV is a moving storage battery, so a single-family home may be able to guarantee electricity for a few hours.

In reality, it is not that simple, as a DC to AC conversion device is required, which is expensive and requires installation work.

In countries where power outages were common (such as India in the past), each household was equipped with a battery, which was utilized during power outages.

However, as noted in the above column, electricity is the "blood of the social system," and a society without a stable supply of it will have an insecure infrastructure -- this is a matter of human life.

----

It may seem that the only way to achieve carbon neutrality is to 'restart nuclear power plants.

However, as you know, our country has had a lot of bad experiences with nuclear accidents.

In addition, it is said that another 200 years will be needed to complete the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.

In general, our country and nuclear energy, be it nuclear power or atomic bombs, are thoroughly incompatible.

-----

As an ambitious idea, I will propose

"Planned blackout"

I think the vision of "a nation that supports social infrastructure with EVs and distributed storage batteries + natural energy" will probably surprise the world.

-----

By the way, when I was about 20 years old, most of the people who were doing research on "solar power" were called 'idiots' who were wasting their research money on unrealistic research.

This was true -- anyway, this is the story of my laboratory in college.


2023-03-23 "If you have money to buy jewelry on your anniversary, it's better to eat expensive meals"

Today is the Ebata family's wedding anniversary. Hence,

- I also rejected the order to attend the presentation in the morning,

- I will get out of an afternoon meeting in the middle of the day,

- I'm also slammed with support for approvals and reports,

- It is also impossible to attend graduation ceremonies and thank-you parties for research seminar students,

It's all because of our wedding anniversary.

-----

By the way, my wife always says,

"If you have money to buy jewelry on your anniversary, it's better to eat expensive meals"

Hence, she is a long-time comrade who shares the same policy.


2024-03-23 "Engineers who want to hit it out of the park with new technology are always doomed to lose."

I know it's a little late for this, but I had the opportunity to use PoE (Power of Ethernet) this time.

PoE can supply power (15.4W per port) simultaneously with data communication via LAN cable.

This time, I could "feel" it with a PoE-enabled camera.

Thoughts,

"Very useful"

First of all, of course, I don't have to care about the location of the power outlet, but it is also great that there is no need to run two cables, one for communication and the other for power.

As you know, I have a surveillance camera installed in my house, and I had a lot of trouble with the wiring (especially the power cable).

Burying power cables underground or laying them in walls is more trouble than it seems (for leaks or short circuits).

If you think about it, this is a matter of course, but the fact that this matter of course is not known until we try is a weakness of the new technology.

-----

Another barrier to such "new technology" (PoE was more than a decade old) was the high price of PoE-capable Ethernet hubs.

I think it was about 100,000 yen.

But I checked the other day, and it was about 5,000 yen for five ports.

I only needed one port for one camera, so I got it from Amazon.com for about 1500 yen.

I thought, "I still need an Ethernet cable that supports PoE," but when I tried it with a Category 6 cable I found lying around, I was surprised it worked just fine.

-----

Thus, new technologies are doomed to fail to spread unless both "experience" and "commoditization(*)" are in place.

(*)A product or service that was a high value-added product or service at the time of its market launch, but as a result of market activation, other companies have entered the market, and there is no longer any difference in functionality, quality, etc., for users.

The former "experience" is particularly difficult.

There is a story about this when the Ebata family installed an HDD recorder (I could not find the exhibit).

My wife, who said 'VHS (tape) recorder is enough,' completely forgot the existence of VHS after purchasing the HDD recorder.

There have been these conversations in the world about rackets and smartphones.

"We can look things up on my smartphone." and "Why don't you just look that up on your home computer?

The transition to digital terrestrial broadcasting (the notice period was seven years, I think) was also a bit of a struggle. Still, at this point, no one I know says, "I don't need digital terrestrial broadcasting; go back to analog broadcasting.

What I'm trying to say is,

"Engineers who want to hit it out of the park with new technology are always doomed to lose."

-----

Looking at my daughter, it seems like she is having difficulty finding a job.

On the living room table is always a pamphlet for job hunters from some company.

Yesterday, I found a pamphlet for job hunters from a general electronics manufacturer I know well.

I had a blast reading it.

Well, (no sarcasm) I enjoyed it.

It was a new learning experience for me.

But here's the thing: "You are always doomed to lose. Still, why don't you come to us?' I would probably have been "impressed" if there had been a word of
