2017-04-01 Will be it possible to use a IME of a smart-phone, for me who could not satisfy even the input of cell-phone? [長年日記]

A few days ago, I wrote in my diary that I had to start to study IME(Input Method Editor) of smart-phone.

After that, a reader of my diary gave me an advice to use "Data SIM" (Because I don't take care of voice communication)

Just before, I have submitted a contract about the cheapest smart-phone hardware and Data-SIM.

To begin with, I am aiming to writing my diary from a smart-phone within one year.

-----

Until now, I have not been able to do anything by a PC without a seat in commute train, however I will expect to write my diary or column by my smart-phone from now.

Will be it possible, however, to use a IME of a smart-phone, for me who could not satisfy even the input of cell-phone?

After abandoning the daughters' outsourcing, I think it is not big to that extent, if considering the effort to come to user illustration tools on ny own,

Is it true ?


2017-04-02 "Comparatively I can obtain such extraordinary life easily" [長年日記]

I went skiing alone the other day.

It is the frequency of one year in a year, however, even though I feel honestly troublesome, I try to continue it as much as possible.

Even just one day, sucking the clear air of the mountain, and watching the lower bound from the top of the mountain, I feel that something miscellaneous is removed from my body,

When entering the slope of the expert, the feeling that the inside of the head is "pure white" is likely that the whole of brain CPU is occupied, and I cannot think anything.

"Comparatively I can obtain such extraordinary life easily"

That is my "skiing alone".

I do not know if such "extraordinary" is the same as meditation or zazen(I have never done meditation or zazen before), however, I think that only a few minutes while rushing into a steep slope will bring

"spiritual state of nothingness"

(Even so, an explanation of "spiritual state of nothingness" is a phrase containing contradiction.)

-----

This time, the ski shoes broke down into rumbling.

The joint of the buckle was peeled off, the plastic in the sole crumbled, and the screws were exposed.

I think that the shoes worked well for 15 years.

I also thought that someone might be saying, "you are going to retire skiing soon"

I come to think that "No matter what is doing, I never stop skiing".

-----

Until I am able to do conquering slide at the expert course, I definitely continue to ski alone.

Totally just practicing skiing less than three hours once in a year (about 1 hour if I put the time for ridng lift and taking a rest), there is "possibility of absence" of "conquering slide".

Exactly, this "possibility of absence" is essential to counter the "troublesome" at the beginning.


2017-04-03 "Protestant" roughly means "anti-establishment". [長年日記]

Today, I went to a college of my senior daughter to attend the entrance ceremony.

At the ceremony, I was a little glad to know that her college has been based on educations of Protestant denomination.

"Protestant" roughly means "anti-establishment".

At this time, the Ebatas becomes "anti-establishment", except for my junior daughter.

Or not.

-----

I thought without researches that there is few college of Protestant denomination in Japan.

Because, It's natural that "anti-establishment" be in a "minority" since olden days

A little interest came out, I studied the number of Catholic colleges and Protestant colleges, but surprisingly, this was almost the same number.

Well, Japan is a country of "Christianity" quite recently "imported".

Also, if academism stands on the "power side" in the first place, that is disgusting.

So, this may not be so surprising.

-----

Well, in Japan, few people are concerned about "catholic" "Protestant", and moreover, I know I will make everyone soiled.

So, I didn't talk about this topic.

However, I often get pleased or angry about what an ordinary person thinks "anything is fine".


2017-04-04 However, I am afraid that this content is "interesting" only for those who think "interesting". [長年日記]

My senior daughter wanted to learn about "Three Kingdoms". When I asked the reason, it was me.

By the way,

"If you can talk about "Three Kingdoms" in singles party, you will become popular with men"

It was me that told her the above.

I think that "Three Kingdoms" is more interesting than Hollywood heroes at least.

However, on the other hand, among "Three Kingdoms" fans, there are many people who make them feel quite unpleasant.

-----

Currently, I am listening to "Three Kingdoms" on Youtube (×watching), but this is an amazing feature, full of 100 episodes in full.

Normally, it will become boring for such this long content, but this is quite "interesting".

First of all, it is decisively different from other contents that we can recognize that huge number of characters in visuals.

And the performances of these characters are also unique and fun.

It seemed to me, that in the battle scene, like red walls, kanto, and Illeung, they are much more powerful than Hollywood movie making full use of CG,

-----

However, I am afraid that this content is "interesting" only for those who think "interesting".

Slaughter, betrayal, conspiracy, buddy, retribution, are repeated endlessly. There is a scene in which hundreds of thousands of young soldiers dies of dogs due to the elderly in the main character around the end chapter. The story give me a feeling of "I am sure to be really careful".

Well, what I want to say,

"Three Kingdoms" is not an enjoyable content with the intention of "getting a man in singles party".

-----

So, as me as a father, my senior daughter should not spend time on such "disgusting content"

at her brilliant campus life to start from now


2017-04-05 "Yeah, it was a really good time." [長年日記]

From this month, I have started to use a smart-phone(low-speed data communication only).

As I mentioned before, the purposes of the smart-phone are, (1)training of IME of a smart-phone, (2)replacing PC.

To tell you the truth, I work hard for the training, however, if I don't do it, I will not go to the next stage. This time, I prepare myself for the worst.

-----

In past years, the PC whose name was "PC9801" spread out the concept of PC in Japan.

However, (it might be just a rumor) it was a famous story that more than 90% of PC9801 for private use, were sleeping in closets.

At that time, PCs were not installed not only applications but also Operation System. So end users should work for the installations and activations.

Thoses were, like trying to install iOS and Andoroid to your smart-phone by youself. The technical quality was incredible high.

Therefore, this story should not be "more than 90% of people can not use" but "at least 10% of people used it".

In fact, at that time, "being able to use a personal computer" was a "proof of elite", that is more meaningful than any educational background.

I made experiment reports by word processor and submitted it, and teaching how to use applications and simple programming in the PC classroom. I earned wages by PCs.

"Yeah, it was a really good time."

Also, numerous girls who talked "Can you initialize the PC?" to me .. was not ture unfortunately.

In the first place, in my memory, women who appeared in campus life were enough with the fingers of both hands.


2017-04-06 "Tutor or prep school instructor is not good for you" [長年日記]

When I was a college student, I was a tutor at a part-time job.

It is said that tutor get good income per hour. So (probably) I think that many college students are in favor with this part-time job, however, right now, I want to say with big voice.

"Tutor or prep school instructor is not good for you"

Although you can understand if trying to calculate it, first, tutor or prep school instructor are inefficient.

Since continuous working hours are short, The unit price per unit time is not expensive at all, when converting the time to go to a predetermined place, etc.,

And those who can work as a tutor are often students of a famous university. and such a person is "smart" in principle.

So, this "smart person" cannot understand the existence of children who

"can not understand my story, even if he/she explains something logically, smartly, with all their strength and valuables"

The "smart person" who is not accustomed to such a situation, comes to think "this child is "unfaithful" or "I am licking"

Therefore, some tutors or prep school instructors are coming up, who will ruffle their voice unintentionally to the child"

-----

The first thing that a person who teaches something to persons, are

"Studying is a pain for many children"

as a cold fact, and

"the act of teaching something to a person becomes even "abuse" itself"

as a thorough understanding of the present situation.

(To be continued)


2017-04-07 "agent of abuse" [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

In a school which children gather, who like studying, both children and teachers can make a positive feedback for the reason of "studying is fun".

However, many children whose guardians want you to be a tutor, dislike studying.(except for children who has a high-minded)

Therefore, what you get the children to study is "abuse" itself. After all, tutor is, so-called, an

"agent of abuse"

I think that.

-----

However, not all tutors are going to be "agents of abuse".

If you meet a child who has high-minded to improve results but is sluggish growth now, it might come to a challenged part-time job for you.

So, one advice from me, as a predecessor.

"Please let my children "like studying" "

If you are asked from a guardian of a child, you should run away as soon as possible.

If you are blinded by your greed and take responsibility for the mission, you will trigger gruesome negative feedback involving your children, parents, and yourself.

However, if you have empowers of a religious guru who can mind control the believer's mind, this story becomes different.


2017-04-08 I have regretted to be really wasteful from my heart [長年日記]

I said that the story of

"Tutor and prep school instructor is not good for you"

I had finished this story without my first intention, so I want to continue it.

-----

Now I strongly regret that I should have do the following part-time job.

- acting as an cast member at an amusement park.

- giving good compliments to women at an host bar.

- cooking fried rice at a Chinese food restaurant near a station.

I am afraid that I will not be able to do the above jobs.

I should not have taught a child at home, or sold "PC-9801" at a personal computer shop(But I might had sold many PCs).

-----

I could have had many experiments without exchanged with money, and those have given me a lot of topics.

I have regretted to be really wasteful from my heart.

Well, I might have waken up for fried rice, and gone to the way of an engineer. So I do not know what was good.

I think that it would have never been in a host bar.


2017-04-09 "I am envious" [長年日記]

When I was a high-school student, I was asked by neighbors and I taught the boy.

He had no motivation to study, and obviously he dislike studying.

When I asked him "What do you want to be in the future?", He said,

"Ordinary salaried worker"

-----

I remember

"Oh, this child believes that "ordinary salaried workers" have existed."

I also feel sorry for him.

-----

By the way, who taught him (and many younger) about "ordinary salaried workers" on earth ?

"Ordinary salaried workers" is, I think, "we can eat all my life, just doing something from the top with no effort"

-----

"I am envious"

If there is such a occupation, I would like to change job even now.


2017-04-10 "Human being are conservative by nature" [長年日記]

Today, the diagram of my commute train line got out of order by a physical injury.

Two schedules of this morning were cancelled or delayed.

However, I, who had finished the series of "train physical injury" for one year, feel helpless.

Of course, I don't think that I can change the world by my writing.

-----

I have already checked some data, and I know that the numbers of accident are going to increase at the beginning of the fiscal year and semester.

And the numbers are going to decrease at the end of period.

Needless to verify these, our human beings are "hard to restart" and "dislike environmental changes".

"Human being are conservative by nature"

This is no need for verification in my mind.

-----

Now, a government-led reforms, "improvement of work way" have begun in Japan.

I think that it is meaningful that the reform of shortened working hours (mainly "elimination of overtime hours") is as a mandatory force to change the old form of labor.

Because "gradual improvement" that everyone continued to say, has worked well since now.

The meaning of a word "labor" includes "pain" or "enforcement".

If it is "pain", the shortend working hours might progress automatically.

However, if the progress doesn't work well, the "enforcement" cannot be helped.

On the other hand, if "human being are conservative by nature" and the rapid "enforcement" happens,

I am afraid that we cannot avoid some problems against the enforcement.

-----

I think ""Shortend working hours" makes an accident" ---- migt happen indeed.


2017-04-11 "only something working is absolute" [長年日記]

I wrote before that the reason I like "technology" is that

"only something working is absolute"

While some people are excited "let's make XXX (working group, etc,)" "let's start XXX (standardization, etc.)",

an engineer says bossy,

"I made it, and working now"

Just murmuring, I can see a happy scene that they, who are excited, are going to lose their face in a moment.

I know both positions of "I have smashed the face" and "my face has been crushed", and I also know "greatness" and "cruelty" of technology every time.

-----

Perhaps, in the world of other fields - politics, economics, culture, history - I cannot watch such scenes.

Working, fast, small and cheap. I like that there is no room for discussion for "technology".


2017-04-12 "I've "revolutionized" the hard disk" [長年日記]

Last night, I destroyed my HDD by my mistake for the first time in years.

I wrote a SD image of Raspberry PI to the HDD. It was an elementary mistake, and I let me down.

The only consolation is that it was my private HDD.

-----

Backups of HDD are going to be difficult because of the enormous disk size.

In many case, HDDs are crashed, all data become missing.

To make a safe and secure backup, I should buy two same capacity of HDD at the same time, and try the backup temporary.

This means, twice costs are needed.

And, "mass storage" can store much data, so there is no need to regularly organize data, and the maintenance period will be long.

I think it is inevitable and imperative not to grasp the contents of the HDD, not to manage them and to become chaos states

-----

Destruction of HDD is likely to "the end of the world".

However at the same time, the destruction is a change to make a new world, breaking from the past.

This is to crush the current power and encourage the establishment of new power --- it is "revolution", not an exaggeration.

So, I'd like to declare the following loudly,

"I did not "destroy" the HDD"

"I've "revolutionized" the hard disk"

Rebels rational!

World revolution Hurray!

-----

I will have to spend much time to restore this HDD for next long holiday in Japan.


2017-04-13 "We cannot reach the concept of "jewie" without "anti-Semitism". [長年日記]

I read a book that said "we cannot reach the concept of "jewie" without "anti-Semitism".

I heard that a sample of "anti-Semitism" is, for example, a person who had a part in a booby trap of murder of carpenter's son.

I found the interesting phrase in the book.

If you tell an Italian "you are a scion of killer of Christ aren't you?", the Italian would gotten mad with me absolutely".

That makes sense.

When I come to think of it, it is considered reasonable that the the concept of "jewie" is set by a person who were a key person who killed Christ.

-----

Now I am witting a series of artificial intelligence(AI), and I am annoyed how to define the "AI".

Therefore,

So, I think that the phrase of "we cannot reach the concept of "AI" without "anti-AIism", makes sense for me.


2017-04-14 The speed of making document is more than one hundred times slower than a PC. [長年日記]

As a weekend engineer, I am trying an experiment with several Raspberry PIs.

For the experiment, I need more than two Raspberry PIs. So I asked persons who are close relationship to borrow them, and some persons accepted my offer.

In this time, I would like to express appreciation for your kindness again.

-----

Well, I have welcomed to borrow Raspberry PI sufficiently, so it is hard to me to say "if you also have a power adapter and a MicroSD card.....".

So, I went to a "100-Yen discount shop", and bought both a USB battery charger and microUSB cable.

I felt anxiety for the power capacity, however, at least the Raspverry PI2(max Amp 900mA) seems to be working now.

As talked earlier, "The Ebata's home security server" is working by less than the power of LED bulb.

Once, I discussed this issue(low power consumption) with an engineer. He said "That is smart-phones".

Any smart-phone should work without outlet anywhere.

Therefor, the CPU or device developments has progressed to realize power saving, as a result, the merit has spread out other fields.

-----

When I heard the story, I could thank smart-phone, for the first time.

Now, I was annoyed at using IME of smart-phone, and I become an stressed-out commuter.

The speed of making document is more than one hundred times slower than a PC.


2017-04-15 "Gang of Four" and "cultural revolution", there were a lot of bad stories in this era and area" [長年日記]

In the sightseeing tour of Taiwan, we, whole family went to National CKS Memorial Hall.

Personally, I am very interested in a history of confusion between Taiwan and China in the of WW2. However the residence time was just half an hour.

I wanted to say

"Give me three hours"

But even I know that it might be impossible.

Persons like me, are few, I also think.

-----

In the hall, I talked to senior daughter.

Ebata:"Did you study the history around this period for college exams?"

Daughter:"I don't like this era and area."

Ebata:"Well why?"

Daughter:" "Gang of Four" and "cultural revolution", there were a lot of bad stories in this era"

Ebata:"What?"

Daughter: "Well, young people shouting" Revolution "made domestic messy ..."

Ebata:"That was a story of the" Continent (People's Republic of China)". Cultural Revolution has not occurred in Island (Taiwan) ! "

Daughter: "W-Taiwan, is China isn't it?"

-----

No way, in such a local (inside the Ebata's), I didn't expect to face this stereotypical

"Two Chinese" issues


2017-04-16 "I didn't remember such a easy way" [長年日記]

As a weekend researcher, I was trouble in shortage of display, because of trying an experiment with Raspberry PIs.

Because I have to watch several displays at the same time to get information from Raspberry PIs.

The size of recent displays is too big, and the installation is difficult.

The entire wall will be filled with display, if preparing for all Raspberry PIs.(To begin with, I have no money to purchase a display at all).

-----

However, this problem was resolved easily.

I built SSH server on each Raspberry PI, and try to access them from several windows terminals.

I don't have to use GUI, there is no problem to use by CUI.

-----

To my surprise,

"I didn't remember such a easy way.

The other days, I did same thing with "telenet" when I developed a communication middleware.

I think that I got used to the GUI world.


2017-04-17 "Why do early adapters make them the early adapters?" [長年日記]

A friend of my wife seems to say "I have to get it", whenever new type of iPhone is released.

Around me, a colleague tried to purchase new type of Macintosh as soon as possible.

They are called "Early Adapter" as I recall, and I always think of them,

"Glory!"

I make a habit of getting old or used things, and adding several parts to get a good performance. Therefore I

-----

Unless they are, the company, that has released a new product, cannot collect the development cost, and know initial defects.

Under the favor of them, many information, for example, how to use it, and how to recover from troubles, are going to be accumulated.

I am following something new slowly, and I can get it at any easy rate, and enormous information.

In a word "Glory!" indeed.

-----

One day, I think of it.

"Why do early adapters make them the early adapters?"

(To be continued)


2017-04-18 I hear that these early adapters have a motivation to boast "a new product" to other people. [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

They might to want to think "Try it, as soon as possible"

Nobody can stop their curiosity. I also can understand a feeling "try new function soon"

However,

I hear that these early adapters have a motivation to boast "a new product" to other people.

I don't understand it.

At any cost, I come to think

"It is not you but a maker company that developed the product"

If not, they might want to boast themselves who have got a new product. If so, I don't understand them either.

-----

When you read the above lines, you will say "I don't understand what Ebata wants to insist.

"Brand back, luxury foreign car, big manor house - they all are working with the same motivation?"

Perhaps you might think that "Ebata is so foolish that he cannot understand like this"

Honestly, I can understand it, however,

If I can understand it in my brain, I cannot accept it in my mind.

(To be continued)


2017-04-19 However, this is true that "No early adapter, no engineer". [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

This is related to "I am an engineer to make things."

I, as an engineer, think

"all horror of a new product belong to persons who make it"

and I don't think

"all horror of a new product belong to persons who use it"

at all.

-----

However, this is true that "No early adapter, no engineer".

For example, at the time that cellphone appeared first, if not unpleasant person, trying use it in a commute train without reasons, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

So from now on, I will change my mind and declare the following here.

The customer, who purchases the latest model fastest, is God.

The customer, who purchases old or used model slowest, like me,

should die.


2017-04-20 "Even if I antagonize the world ....? " like ?" [長年日記]

Once I wrote a diary,

"Even if I antagonize the world ....? " The world includes the Armed Forces of the United States doesn't it?"

-----

In these day, I came to another phrase

"Even if I antagonize the world ....? " like ?"

-----

The goverment of the has an ideology of

"Any approch to collapse ourselves is all same, even if it is invation, civil war or counter nuclear attack"

If they, for example "singers", don't prepare themselves for the worst,

they should not sing "even if I antagonize the world" lightly, I think.


2017-04-21 A TV program introduced a ramen-shop, whose counter has partition boards for each customer. [長年日記]

A TV program introduced a ramen-shop, whose counter has partition boards for each customer.

My wife said "it is like a breeding farm", however, I think this is good way.

I like "eating alone with reading" and I open a book on the counter. Therefore I feel sorry for neighbours.

That means "border issue" on a shop-counter, I feel uneasy not to cause an obstruction, and I don't enjoy eating ramen.

(I think that smart-phone is a good tool for "eating alone with reading" )

-----

To begin with, for ramen, we have to

pick a solid object up from a liquid mass,

which is difficult to eat the solid at a mouthful,

gnaw off the solid on the air, and

drop the fragment solid down to the liquid mass.

Ramen needs special steps, which the other dishes don't need.

Ramen is different from soup and stew, because ramen needs some process of "gnawing" and "dropping".

In addition, the liquid mass includes animal protein and fat.

If the liquid mass attach to clothes, it is difficult to scrub it.

Even so, if the clothes are ours, no problem happens. However if the damage spread other people out, this will be serious problem naturally.

If such troubles make a wonderful dish "Ramen" diminish, I feel very sorry.

-----

In conclusion,

"ramen-shop, whose counter has partition boards for each customer" is,

wonderful system and concept, I believe.


2017-04-22 After reading his mail, I felt scare a little ( Of course I felt happy too). [長年日記]

The "Rude junior fellow" asked me open my research activity, so I sent a set of material to him.

After that, I got a mail from him.

-------

Dear Ebata-san,

I have not finished reading them yet, however, your research is tremendous. Could you twist cosmic space? Did you do it already? Your "label" is different from others. Anyway this is enormous. I don't know why you speak out your research loudly. I know your intention. You don't want to study silently do you ? My company should expand Ebata-san's research more with young researchers. But can the younger follows Ebata-san's concept? Maybe solemn guys are not good for Ebata-san's team. Ebata-san should have made up the research group before. To make an concept, we should start making unrefined implementation. Numbers of the person are few, I am afraid. If you open your concept as a social system simulator, the impact will be beyond the reach of my imagination. For example, trying of XX research lab. is childishness. Anyway Ebata-sa, you are great and a big guy.

-----

After reading his mail, I felt scare a little ( Of course I felt happy too).


2017-04-23 I am having a rare holiday. Less than ten people might do same thing at the moment. [長年日記]

I am addicted to "Three Kingdoms" from the other day.

Now I am

tracking linux kernel code by printk() function, hearing the voice of "Three Kingdoms" from Youtube.

and I am having a rarea holiday. Less than ten people might do same thing at the moment.

Anyway, I make up my mind "I never make me an annoying bastard who keeps talking about "Three Kingdoms(*)"

(*) In addition, "Gundam" and "Mac" etc.

-----

Well, when I was a young person, someone might say to me "why you do such irritating thing, though you are young"

It might be better not to be said "Why are you going to be a couch potato from daytime?" for this age.

But my wife said to me again,

"I want you to stop black aura from the room on holidays."


2017-04-24 "No strange and offensive way is a royal road." [長年日記]

Once I wrote about a person who gave me a big and non-potable Japanese-English dictionary as a "celebration gift".

At the time, I discard the dictionary.

In addition, I have reached a conclusion, that "the person has not had a habit of using English daily".

-----

Same affairs, like this, are often happened.

For example, about souvenirs of overseas trip.

- knocking ball pen, the woman's picture comes to be nude.

- Uneatable spicy (or stick) snacks

- Local and strange amulet

"I want to return this to you"

in many cases.

-----

Of course, we have reasons for these affairs.

(1)We have to buy some souvenirs when we travel overseas, especially getting foy.

(2)However, good souvenirs are expensive.

(3)On the other hand, bad souvenirs are low-quality and no impact, even if it is cheap.

(4)Then, we have to appeal ourselves with "a strange thing".

Thus, "celebration gift" or "souvenir" make us unhappy, and the market has been established.

-----

To tell you the truth, "cash" is useful and universal valuable for anyone.

But we cannot use "cash" by a compensations of "souvenir". If we use "cash" as "celebration gift", constant sum must be needed.

In that sense, "library tickets" or "gift certificates" can be said to be distorted "cash" to resolve this problem for both sides.

-----

In conclusion, I think

"No strange and offensive way is a royal road."


2017-04-25 "The PC that leapt Thought Time" [長年日記]

About a week ago, I wrote "I crashed a HDD by my mistake" in my diary.

A few days ago, I got a HDD by yahoo auction to recover files.

I wanted to save time, so I made a bit of owner's suggested price.

Last night, I started a recovery software, and left it until this morning.

This software showed in a display

"The estimated remaining time 33.45 hours"

All files has renamed alphanumeric characters, so I will change the file names again.

If I ask this work for a professional engineer, it might go well. However I didn't want to spend much money for this task.

-----

I know well "It's too late to say such a thing", however,

I ask you to work for backup, not only files but also OS images.

In fact, OS image backup is very important.

Now, PC is crashed by not only users, but also mal-ware from outside world.

If you save the OS image backup, you can date back to the time.

Once my PC was hijacked by a crack software that showed Kanji characters only. At the time, I can recover the PC before the cracking attack.

"The PC that leapt Thought Time"

At this point, PC is great.

However, PC can just leap to a past time.


2017-04-26 "Happiness not to understand Japanese" [長年日記]

When I was in Colorado, USA. I asked a local native speaker who taught English conversation to me.

He was a teacher of the college where my wife had attend for ESL(English Second Language) class, and he had been in Japan before.

I often remember that he said

"Happiness not to understand Japanese"

"When I was in Japan, I felt unhappy not to use Japan sees frequently. However thanks to that, it was true that I could enjoy life in Japan"

I think this story comes to be generalized.

It means,

Not only I but also other persons, who have experienced overseas work, can return to Japan with happy memories. Because

"We could not understand local language around place of our posts"

-----

Anyway in my case, I didn't take care of detailed things, because I had to survive in non-interactive place.

We shifted to a defiant attitude, like "it cannot be helped that we are annoying people by default. This is the company's responsibility, not us"

First of all, nobody seems to make a complaint about non-native speakers isses by the native language.

If I am good at English to understand people 's minions, dislikes, and writing of the net in the context,

I think that my overseas assignment was filled with considerable misery.

2017-04-27 "It is your boss who is wrong, absolutely" [長年日記]

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

"Over the AI(9) ---- beyond a reach of our imagination of AI"

Artificial intelligence that carries out diplomacy, makes an ideal border in super space

-----

I ask new recruits who joined this April, to read the last page, at least, And I want to say

"You are not wrong at all."

"It is your boss who is wrong, absolutely"


2017-04-28 "All at sea in a fog of English is "my paradise" [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

This time, I am obliged to start a SNS to contract a engineer of software developer.

The engineer doesn't open his mail address in public.(Recently I have often faced these accidents)

But this SNS is not common. The target of this SNS to make fields of communications about business and technology. In addition, the official language is "English".

-----

"Damm! Do you want to boast about your English communication ability? "

If you feel uneasy, that is my hope. However it is opposite, in fact.

As you may know, I seldom use SNS in my dairy life.

I love compliant messages to me, however I dislike complaints against me (or my works). I don't want to read them at all, even if they are be in the right.

This time, the reason I made my account in the SNS is that the SNS's official language is English.

I could not understand many messages in the SNS, Moreover it is impossible to read out sarcastic, metaphor and many disrespectable messages.

"All at sea in a fog of English is "my paradise"

will be realized.

It is absolutely misery that I am not loved by English.

However, the qualification "not be loved by English" might be a passport to a utopia

-----

Over the 50 years old, I don't have no intention to pretend cool by using English.

For me, "English is a good tool to carry my intentions to others", it is enough.

Originally, English is "thing to use", not "thing to learn"


2017-04-29 - Do not cut the corner(→ properly take the warrant through the court) [長年日記]

Once, in ruling contesting the illegality about "the police were tailing with a GPS in the car of the suspect (without the letter of the court)".

The court has made a ruling that "there is no serious illegality"

I wrote that "I feel strangeness" in my diary.

-----

Because I thought

"Why the police skipped the process to get the letter from the court before using GPS or Wifi or another devices?"

"You guys, are professional law enforcement agencies, called "judicial police". If you are professional, not pull out the hand of the job. "

-----

Since GW starts, I got a massed time. Therefore, I read the full sentence of the Supreme Court sentence(but it was a very short sentence).

-----

The contents of the judgement sentence is basically the same as my opinion,

- Do not cut the corner(→ properly take the warrant through the court)

- If you want it, Legislate properly (→ try to Lobby activities)

Besides there were interesting "supplemental opinions" (2 of 15 of Supreme Court justices )

- We know well that the legislation takes much time, so the court should issue a warrant, given the seriousness of the incident.

I thought that this "supplemental opinions" was very important, however, no news had said it.

-----

This Supreme Court ruling was common interpretation, based on the penal code law principle. So I did not understand why the opinion was divided by the lower court.

Both Osaka and Hiroshima District Court said "no illegality", on the other hand, Nagoya District Court judged said "illegality".

Osaka and Hiroshima has a image of gangsters in my mind.

Maybe "regionality influences judgement?"

I thought that vaguely.


2017-04-30 It cannot be helped, because it is me. [長年日記]

When GW period starts, I went to a municipal library to read books and public white papers about "work style reform"

Once, when I wrote about society with fewer children, I felt two things at this time,

"Government white papers are great (good job)

and

"bottom lines of the papers are invisible"

-----

According to "work style reform", there seems to be some problems against the present work style.

And the white papers say that the approaches to the reform are clear. However, the "purposes" are not clear.

For example, Work Life Balance(WLB) is, frankly speaking, "obedience and distribution"

This is an opposite concept of "concentration in core competance", many companies want to call.

Here, one question has happened.

I wonder if the government tries to the direction of not "concentration in core competance" but "obedience and distribution".

Of course, there is a goal of "WLB contributes to individual happiness."

Unfortunately, my brain cannot accept the thought of "movement measure to pursuit personal happiness".

It cannot be helped, because it is me.

-----

Reading government materials and many books, I come to think that I can explain this Work Life Balance(WLB) as a concept.

"Each one of us is an exchangeable multipurpose part that supports the nation of Japan"

I think that it is possible to explain the whole picture of this "working way reform" in a clearly understandable way.

Based on that idea, I will try it by numbers in future.
