Yesterday, I have calculated the merit of "tax deduction for spouse" using Excel
"To my surprise, there is few sample case with numeric on the net.
I estimated the two reasons as follows,
(1) To avoid blames against wrong calculation and numeric
(2) To have no intentions to verify the mount of the tax system with numeric
What I want to know is to know rough digit number, not correct numeric.
For example, I just want t know how much the tax allowance is
-Several ten thousand yen, or
-One hundred and several thousand yen, or
-Several hundred thousand yen
But I could not find it.
The web sites of public offices are the worst.
I know what they mean very well.
There are some persons who print out the numeric and go to office to make a complaint about the difference between the numeric and their own cases.
So I think public office want to avoid the notations to understand easily.
Some licensed tax accountants might be annoyed for the notations.
Anyway, I had to waste my time for the calculation with Excel tables and formulas
-----
I think that what are the most important things are rough grips based on rough formula and rough numeric.
Thought yesterday was a important day for me, I could reach the rough understands,
- Difference between "income tax" and "inhabitant tax"
- The walls of several types of amount money, so called,
- The meaning of the word "National Pension Plan" and "employees' pension"
As the proverb goes, "We can say "I can understand" after it becomes explicable". It is true largely.
-----
On the other hand, today's diary has another purpose, "an advertisement of my next activity".
Today, a new column is released, so I take a diary off.
"Let's turn the world by "Number" (14) Environmental problem: " The power consumption of Japan is equal to 10 yen coin? Try to calculate it from E=MC^2"
I hope you read the column, and give me some nice comments.
-----
The junior fellow who appeared in this column and said the following
"Ebata-san. I have never read such a worst column of yours before"
exists.
After I started to contribute my column to a web site, I have become to anxious about other's documents (contents, styles and methods) more.
For example, the readers
- don't want to read more than three lines (so itemizations are needed)
- don't want to read the phrase of long idiom (so dividing the sentence is needed)
- want to skip difficult kanjis (so adding "kana" if necessary)
- hate to persistent rhetorics ? → If I want to use them, they are up to a maximum of two times in one page
I come to understand the above very well.
All of them are the essences of technical writing.
Work of engineers is going to be functional for column-writings. I am deeply moved that "I don't know what is useful for me"
-----
The other day, I was looking at the Web site of the crowd-funding of Yahoo.
Crowd-funding is, in the literal sense, to introduce something new business, and to collect the money from investors.
The request of the work with presenting the reward, is also possible at the site.
(To be continued)
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
"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.
(Continuation from yesterday)
Though my written opinion and amendment procedures, I'm doing something to the examiner. If I am going to get patent rights of my invention, I can say that
"I can lick the examiner's soles of the feet"
I have worked seriously about the patent specification, as a public documents",
according to the administrative agencies and the orders of the law, without ever going against it,
-----
If the administrative agency himself bends the rules himself,
How awkward I am to continue to "lick the examiner's soles of the feet"?
My tears came into my eyes.
-----
I don't want to say
"Anyone who ordered falsification of the public sentence, or executed it with depending on the power, does "harakiri" in front of their office building."
I just claim that
Not "falsification" but "compensation" or "correction" based on the administrative law, they should open the public document to people,
and
I also just request them to
"write the reason for the "compensation" or "correction" correctly, for example, "the abuse of power, including the family"

If it is true.
Senior daughter(SD): "How can I become interested in social issues like you ?"
Ebata: "If you watch the animation " PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass ", I think that the basic ideas about social issues can be covered in general."
SD: "Is that so?"
Ebata: "Hmm, let me think. For example, what do you think is the ultimate goal of society? "
SD: "If I think normally, I think that "everyone will be happy""
Ebata:"Firstly we forget the contents of" happiness "in "everyone will be happy," let us think "what about the "approach that makes everyone happy"? For example, How do you think that the world that can achieve "happy" with minimum effort?"
SD: "I think it's correct."
Ebata: "Can I accept the existence of something that surely shows the "happiness" approach to the shortest distance?"
SD: "I can"
Ebata: "Do you think it is the realization of "everyone will be happy," which is derived from the super-high-level calculator without your trial and error by yourself or trying the possibilities ?"
SD: "I think so"
Ebata: "Well, From the point of view that "everyone will be happy", which one do you think should choose (A) A society where 99 people become 100% happy at the expense of one, or (B)A society where 100 people can only achieve 50% happiness without sacrificing anyone.
SD: "Hmm ..."
Ebata: "A super-high-level calculator can mathematically calculate that a human will become a criminal as a" 90% or more possibility. Of course, the result has absolutely no mistake. In such a case, do you think it would be right to isolate that person from society just by the possibility of so-called "crime reserves"? "
SD: "....Let me think for a moment"
Ebata:""PSYCHO-PASS" is very reasonable animation, that give us easy several examples of contradictions hidden in "everyone will be happy"
SD: "..."
Ebata: "If you want to see, I will prepare."
Recently, I've been depressed at work, and I'm having an impact outside of work.
Specifically, the update of the diary is delayed.
I don't feel like writing anymore,
"This article won't fall out of the rankings for nearly a month."
Today I would like to report the above.
Ebata
If I don't change the password of your company's business system every three months, I will not be able to access the system. Therefore, I have to do it.
I also change the passwords of all my private systems at the same time, and the number of passwords is 16 (as of now).
It takes at least two hours to make all the changes, so I try to make sure I have enough time for this.
I have made a memo of all the procedures so that I can shorten my work time, but some systems changes the specifications on its own within three months, which is quite annoying.
In addition, we are also taking a full backup of our website to coincide with this occasion.
If not handled with great care, it could accidentally destroy the system, so it is done with a great deal of caution.

Recently, I've been reading AWS Inspector, a report that AWS gives me to check my cloud environment.
That's what the report is about, in a nutshell, included the information of
"Eighteen different cyber attacks are possible on my site"
I could barely understand it, but I did understand the methods of the communication API, albeit vaguely -- to be honest, I was a little pale.
-----
Changing passwords is the most basic of security measures, but it is very effective.
The company is holding the business system hostage and forcing employees to change their passwords, which is, well, good ways.
Amazon and Google should also take this "hostage strategy" -- I think.
However, when I think about the mountain of complaints that will come from customers due to the expiration of passwords, I can understand why they would not want to do that.
Yesterday, I went to Utsunomiya City on business.
And I had to run around to some key locations to do some field work.
Cabs cannot see the area in detail and motorcycles are dangerous, so permission to use them is not granted without a tedious application process.
Then, "bike rental" is a candidate.
I was convinced that my legs would break if I didn't use an electric bike.
I called Utsunomiya City Rental Cycle and was told that all electric bicycles would be out of service within 10 minutes of the 8:00 start time.
I arrived at Utsunomiya at 7:30 a.m. using the first train and the Shinkansen, and was at the front of the line.
Still, I was very happy to be able to rent an electric bicycle without incident.
-----
Still, while on the move, I had a pretty bad situation with my phone running out of power and a hunger knock at the same time.
When I found McDonald's in front of me, I really thanked God for the help.
From now on, I will continue to say "Mac is the best".
-----
So today, I calculated the route length in order to prepare the inspection report, and I was surprised.
Total distance, 43.46 km
Of course, electric bicycles are great, but I decided to think, 'I'm pretty cool too.
"I can tell if you are popular or not by your presentation"
My assertion has been further confirmed by watching a student's presentation recently.
-----
- They don't even memorize their phrases, just print out and read them out loud.
- Thye are just reading the description of the projected papers as it is.
- No drawings in the papers.
- Explanation lacks verisimilitude.
In short, they are not making their case to their listeners, and they are not making any effort to help them understand.
I don't think such a guy would be popular.
-----
I have told this story to my daughter before, and she criticized me a lot, so I will stop here.
Yesterday, I was carrying a travel carry-on bag stuffed with experimental equipment, which had become like a lump of iron
I thought that if I made a mistake in carrying the equipment, I would get "strained back in one shot," so I used equipment for people with disabilities & seniors (elevators and escalators) for all of my transportation.
-----
" I have not progressed one millimeter since my twenties."
I was almost in tears.
In my vision of the future, I had envisioned "a dainty senior who orders his younger subordinates to do this kind of work, and I am dressed in a slightly more formal dress and shoes, having a nice conversation with customers" -- but the result was "just senior."
"Boys, don't be ambitious. It's going to be hard later."
I am going to Hokkaido University next month and would like to shout this phrase in front of the Clark statue.
(Well, I probably won't do it. I'm afraid I'll get in trouble with the company and the university.)
-----
Yesterday, I talked with my daughter, who drove me to the train station.
Daughter: "You are as hard as ever. The other day, my mom and I talked about how when you collapse, we might say, 'We knew it was going to happen,' before we get surprised."
Me: "I think I am now in the speculation phase of 'when' and 'where' I will collapse."
Daughter: "If you know that much..."
Me: "But I can't reach Grandpa's (my late father) "hard" anymore. When I was helping my father with his work, it was so hard that I, as a junior high school student, thought, 'I might die.'"
Daughter: "Grandpa is out of scope. We can't hold him to that standard.
-----
A year ago, my team leader stopped speaking during a remote meeting.
They thought, 'It's probably a communication failure or a device malfunction,' but the next day, we found out that he had passed away, and the team was in a panic (I was not at that meeting).
He also helped me on the back end when I was going through a tough time (during the field demonstration), so I was pretty shocked then.
It was not until six months later that I could ask one of the people involved about the incident specifically. It was such a shock to me.
-----
However, despite this life-changing impact, I have not been able to make any significant changes to my lifestyle.
I am aware that I am such a "fool.
However, I also realize that "changing oneself" is so tricky.
