Wife: "Papa, coffee stock is running short. please buy it"

Ebata:"O.K."

-----

I, who often use Amazon Prime, is now likely to be the general trading company of the the Ebatas or, a delivery boy of Mikawaya-liquor shop of the Sazae-san.

However, the whole family knows both accounts and passwords for Amazon prime,

Nevertheless, why do they ask me to place an order?

-----

"Since ordering history reaches to Papa's mails, it will not be troublesome, if papa orders them directly"

is reasonable, of course, but I do not understand something.

"Papa's operation is overwhelmingly faster than ours"

is also a fact. Because The years when I handle PCs is longer than them.

-----

I can roughly judge about price, quality, delivery time, and even if there is something I do not understand, I can also ask questions orally.

This is the figure of "Ultimate AI" we are seeking.

-----

I roughly think sometimes,

"I wonder if they are getting more profitable all the time, to hire Ebata by part time for about 1000 yen per hour, than to invest as much as 100 billion for AI research and development"

I'm going to talk about that story this Friday.

(Continuation from yesterday)

Question: Why can Ebata be able to say such a thing to confidence?

Answer: You only need to find out how many books hit the keyword "horizontal expansion" at Amazon.com

-----

Still, if you still can not convince, let's show the following example.

There are two daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter in our house.

Both of us are growing up healthy - really, I can appreciate something (God?).

Both of the two daughters are "human beings" and "women". And the age difference is only three years.

So,

If I am asked whether I can do "horizontal expansion" about care know-how between the eldest daughter and the second daughter

I can say immediately on the spot,

"No way"

Last night, I asked my wife about this matter. She said 'Roughly 80%'. about the difference.

In conclusion, we can assert that they are completely separated and original systems, that cannot apply to "horizontal expansion".

"I am replacing the iPhone twice a year"

If you hear it, you may say "Ebata is a bourgeois (dead language)" isn't he?"

But right now, I am in such a position.

Following my compulsory exchange instruction from the company, the upgrade (and trouble) works consume huge amount of my time.

-----

In the first place, I do not like smartphones, especially iPhone.

After I used an Apple's PC (SE30 1989) I switched to the IBM compatible machine. After that, I tried to distance myself from Apple's devices as much as possible, however my families and companies have been forced to work on iPod, iPad, iPhone.

"I can fell a malice"

-----

Apple's PCs are popular with people in the fields of academics, art, especially music.

Since the beginning of Apple's PC, softwares in those fields has been developed and is still being sold with continuing upgrading.

I think that it is a natural that users (initial users) who first contacted the Apple PC can not leave Apple's PC.

-----

However, I am quite surprised to hear that many "Apple PCs" are installed at the university where my daughter is attending.

As an initial user, I guess that the researcher at that time, who was using an Apple PC, now becomes a professor and is promoting the mass installation of "Apple PC" at the university.

However, regardless of the superiority or inferiority of Apple PCs, at this time, unless they can use Windows 7/10 and office, they can not do business in Japan (probably the world) company.

Even if I accept just an argument that "university is not a company preparatory school", from the viewpont of soft landing to their first working experiment,

"The IT literacy education of the university by "Apple PC" can not be overlooked as a parent"

-----

If I can ignore "Windows 7/10 and office"

I will say,

"I would like to teach command line interfaces from the shell prompt while using the Linux office suite to college student"

But I know that it can not be helped if I receive an angry with saying "Go Home!"

(To be continued)

The other day, I heard the accident that the college student stabbed a dagger into the college teacher.

At first, I wasn't even aware of such events, which occur so frequently on a daily basis.

Later, I was surprised to learn about the "motivation" of the case.

- In a lecture where he can not get credit unless he gives a report,

- he negotiated so that he could get some credit without issuing a report,

- the negotiation failed, he went to the case

-----

"Is there any motive for such unreasonable crimes? I was really surprised.

I thought (I still think) "is it my mistake?"

I thought that theory was mess, like "I don't have any money, but let me eat" at a restaurant.

-----

For example, it's easy for me to understand that "the submitted report was evaluated unreasonably or rejected."

I also tried to terrorize the dissertation office, which rejected my dissertation... No, No way. I never thought about terrorism, however it was unpleasant for me.

In the first place, a report is basically something that can be completed simply by writing letters.

If it is completed, anyone can submit it.

Nevertheless, "I can not submit, but give me credit" is funny.

-----

When I were talking about it with my eldest daughter, she scolded me violently.

"Dad! You cannot understand it, however there are people in the world who can't write a "report" anyway!"

(To be continued)

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

Dancing Buzzword - Behind the Buzzword (10) Blockchain(4)

Pledge Eternal Love to the Blockchain: An Invincible Credit System that Defies God and the Law

-----

In this series about blockchain, I'm waging a negative critique of Bitcoin, but the truth is, I'm not really interested in whether I'm right or wrong.

The reason is that we will eventually find out whether Bitcoin will fail or become a fixture in the online world.

As a matter of fact, I've been "missing predictions" quite often -- although I have my own theories, with my own knowledge and logic.

In other words, I've made a mistake.

Of course you're right. I'll make a mistake -- I'm not God.

-----

However, it seems that there are many people in the world who are reluctant to admit mistakes.

"keep silent," or "reopen," or "make endless excuses", etc.

To be honest, I think thsi guy is painful.

-----

Engineers and researchers are continually betrayed by their hypotheses every day.

In my case, every day, I am constantly denied my ideas by the simulations I have created, by the circuits I have created , and the devices I have created.

After looking at the results, there is a meaningless to say "I am not wrong!"

Because that will only tighten my own neck.

----

Trained engineers/researchers act on the assumption that they are "wrong".

It's not embarrassing to make mistakes.

Making mistakes is the quickest way to get to the right answer, and it's our job to keep making mistakes.

Then, "clarify the cause of the mistake and the reason for it" is a set of steps.

My father died before the outbreak of the Corona disaster.

My mother died just as the outbreak was coming under control and she was finally able to visit --- Now, under the raging Omicron stock, it is not reality.

I just happened to find this note a few minutes ago.

As I was looking at it, I noticed that this kind of slap in the face of corona disaster about my mother had suddenly disappeared.

-----

I did not feel any emotion or sentiment during or after my mother's funeral.

I was even thinking, "Maybe I'm broken somehow".

In fact, that's what I've been told by many people in my life.

But as I was reading these notes, I felt that I could finally talk to the deceased without feeling 'sad' or 'nostalgic'.

-----

"It was hard work, seriousness, and running as fast as I could, but I didn't think for one millimeter or one second that it was hard or that I didn't like it."

"They days were not bad at all"

I was able to mutter to my mother.

My column, published yesterday, was the first one I published in my life.

I put this out to a mailing list of my peers in the company, and after receiving rave reviews from my peers -- I was in a good mood.

And then, I've been writing ever since.

In other words, 'getting on a roll' or 'feeling good' can be a turning point in one's life.

-----

Of course, this kind of thing (being praised by others) does not last continuously.

Eventually, they will stop being acclaimed and even criticized.

Then you get depressed -- everyone does.

-----

This phenomenon is most noticeable in secondary novels.

As far as I know, only 1-2% of all second novels are completed to the end.

There are so many people who give up creating in the middle of the process.

Of course, the secondary creators are 'self-satisfied', 'for their own amusement', and done 'for free'.

I think it is "harsh" -- or even "unfair" and "impolite" -- for others (readers) to criticize this.

Still, I do feel "sorry for the work" if you start a story with grand foreshadowing and never retrieve it or complete it.

-----

They can't keep writing if they don't get cheesed off -- I 'support' this sentiment.

But, after all, strangers are strangers. Strangers are freaks.

There are few (or rather, "no") people who will keep you constantly cheer for you.

Hence,

"I will continue to cheer myself forever"

is very important for me.

-----

(The following is an excerpt from "Japan's highest blockchain was that system that boasts of being the world's longest.)

Ebata: "It doesn't matter. I just want my columns to reach just one reader."

Junior: "What is that? I've never heard that before. That's the first time I've heard such a meaningful word. Who is the one person to whom you want to convey your "feelings"?"

Ebata: "It's me"

Juniors: "What?"

Ebata: "So, "It is me". I like to reread my columns. Every time I reread it, I think, 'I was thinking such great things at that time,' or 'Oh, I like this way of thinking, it fits well, I like this person.

'It's okay because it's in a closed community.'

These are the words uttered by the person who transmitted the image of licking a condiment container in a restaurant to a closed network.

I will not discuss the lowliness of this action, as many have spoken of it.

-----

However, if you ask me if I could unconditionally criticize this lowly behavior when I was younger -- I don't think I could.

Because I was not a praiseworthy young man.

When I was young, I used to be against the higher-ups (schools, government offices, and the violent apparatus of state power (police, etc.)).

If there had been an Internet environment back then, as there is today, these acts would have been digitally recorded, and I would have been tormented for the rest of my life for them.

In terms of 'stupidity,' I believe that when I was younger, I was 'not much different from a young man licking a condiment container' (although I think there is a difference in the dignity of the act).

I just happened to be lucky enough to be born without the Internet. I genuinely believe that.

Aside from that.

-----

Humans have a desire to 'share enjoyable content with others.

It's the so-called 'Don't tell anyone else. Actually...'.

You might call it "an endless chain of closed communities.

Regarding the Internet, 'closed communities' are an illusion.

Therefore, information that needs to be kept secret (e.g., evidence that establishes the requirements for constituting a crime) needs to be kept secret.

In the end, the bottom line is that "if it is a criminal act, stop it from the beginning," but there are many people, even adults, who cannot distinguish between a "criminal act" and a "prank.

-----

By the way, if someone says to me, "Don't tell anyone else about this," I'll be right there with them, "What's the deadline?" I respond with.

If they say "indefinitely," I respond, "I can't promise."

If they say, "for ten years," I reply, "I can't promise that."

If they say "one year," you respond, "I can promise you that," -- and then expose them a year later.

-----

The exception to this is the "Ebata Firewall" that I have imposed on myself.

This is the foundation of my dignity, and when I violate it, I am prepared to stop being me.

I try every day to be able to dismiss people who say, 'Don't tell anyone else, actually...' as 'vulgar people.
