2014-09-04 Specialist opinions are trustless. This is clear from many passed data.

Now I am reading the book "THE WISDOM OF CROWDS", by Mr. James Surowiecki.

In the book, the followings are described.

Specialist opinions are trustless. This is clear from many passed data.

However, the specialists believe that their opinion is more trustful than amateur's one.

To make matter worse, the armature is going to rely on the specialists.

One outstanding example of the above is that

"Prediction of the most excellent investigation company could have not beaten predications of the market average at all.

-----

After all, I am correct.

I whispered.


2015-09-04 "I write it for me in the future."

For the first time in a few years, I begin to write an patent application. But in this case, I should pay an attention for me.

"I write it for me in the future."

-----

Contents of patent application are like to be spells or cryptograms for many people in the world.

Even if you were "a special person who has special knowledge in the technical field", you could not understand the patent without your special efforts.

To make matter worse, the application style seems to to be out-of date.

As a rule, you can use monochrome lineal drawings in the figures, and normal characters in the documents.

"linked documents" is not allowed and "tab jump" is prohibited.

Of course, you cannot use any animations and movies.

-----

But these "rules" are not bad for us.

At first, everybody can access any patent application, only to print them. No special tool is needed.

No capabilities to make full use of presentation tools, which can bring someone a surprise.

I think that these rules make fair application for patent in Japan.

-----

But the problem is not the point.

The problem is that

"I cannot understand the patent that had been invested by myself".

2016-09-04 The value of handwritten note is nothing more than the handwritten note.

As I live and breathe, there are schools that cannot accept a homework made by word processor(WP).

I was surprised to hear that my daughter is enforced to submit her homework to the teacher as a handwritten note.

She should rewrite the handwritten note from the note written on WP.

I came to think "it is helpless",

-----

According to teacher's story, the following problems will annoy them.

- Making a memo by copy and paste,

- Copying a memo of others.

- Being difficult to estimate the quality of the memo.

These stories seem to be logical, however, it is odd, I think.

The value of handwritten note is nothing more than the handwritten note.

The contents are not related with the method like "handwritten" or "WP".

2017-09-04 Perhaps, I came to think that the reason was "armed Ebata's house".

Recently, no solicitation of religion, sales, have come.

Well, I might think that there is a high probability of being absent at the time of visit.

Even so, I felt strange that no one has come.

Perhaps, I came to think that the reason was "armed Ebata's house".

-----

Three posters of "I'm watching you!" that had been modified including my face by me, are put on the wall around the entrance hall.

Surveillance cameras and sensors are arranged in this way in the entrance and the garden for show.

-----

Against the house leader who owns this "armed house" thoroughly,

The person of solicitation of religion or sales, who is trying to battle directly,

doesn't exist, unfortunately


2018-09-04 "At this rate, banks will be taken over by an application of smartphones.

Previously, I read an article whose writer said

"At this rate, banks will be taken over by an application of smartphones.

I don't know whether I can agree with the writer, or not.

In the article, the main topic was "black-chain", after all.

-----

The other day, I chatted with an engineer of an software company, he said to me.

"Ebata-san. "Black-chain" is just a memorandum, but that is unwritable absolutely"

The next day, I tried to make an easy test program and checked the function. And I could accept what he had told.

In order to tamper with the memorandum, we have to

- steal several electric secret keys from somebody in somewhere

- unzip the encrypted memorandum in reverse

I could understand that "this is unwritable absolutely" at the bottom of my heart.

-----

The significance of existence of banks is to give us the credit of money transactions, and absorb the risks of them

Certainly, from the viewpoint of them, I think that we will dispose of banks, and use "block-chain" alternatively.

However, banking services are not money transactions.

For example, for typical "process works" ,like "succession", "insurance" or "credit assessment works" like "loan", it seems to be impossible to do them without human interfaces and (dogmatic) subjectivity.

In the field, even if there is a "black-chain", it can resolve these problemsm, I think.

However, I also think that there are also aspects that can not necessarily be said.

2019-09-04 "Fast driving" that accumulates fatigue is ridiculous"

"Tailgating" has existed for a long time. In recent years, the appearance of "tailgating"has changed considerably with drive recorders and SNSs.

However, today I won't talk about that.

I rarely run on the “passing lane” on the highway.

Basically, I keep running at the minimum speed (80km) and drive slowly in the "driving lane".

-----

This is because there are so many benefits in this way.

(1)Not tired

High-speed driving demands processing power that overloads the brain, and the consumption of physical strength due to body tension is intense.

As you can see from the calculation, it is clear that the fatigue of high-speed driving is converted to the time taken for a break in the service area.

For example, let me think the 300km long expressway (Kawasaki-Toyota), which is the return route to my parents' home.

When running at an average speed of 80km and 110km, there will be a difference of less than 1 hour in arrival time.

I drive on the highway for 5 hours (without traffic jam).

Since I take about 4 breaks, each break takes about 18 minutes.

Let's assume that 110km travel is 1.38 times (= 110/80) tired than 80km travel.

In this case, assuming that the break time is proportional to fatigue, the break time for each break is 25 minutes, and the total break is about 100 minutes.

In this case, the advantage of arrival time is only about 30 minutes.

-----

However, I think that fatigue is "linear" with respect to "speed" is a fairly optimistic assumption.

Considering that visual information is two-dimensional, visual and tension fatigue is proportional to the square.

That is 1.38 ^ 2 = 1.90.

If calculated with this value, the total time required for the break is 137 minutes, and on the contrary, it will be delayed by about 7 minutes.

In conclusion, I think

"Fast driving" that accumulates fatigue is ridiculous"

2020-09-04 I love the world where real world meetings cannot be held.

(Continuation from yesterday)

What I want now is,

"electronic whiteboards that can be shared remotely"

Maybe these "shared whiteboards" are available for sale.

However, it doesn't seem to be easy to install the same equipment in both environments. Maybe it is expensive.

-----

There is also the possibility of "board sharing" using a tablet and a magnetic pen, but it's probably still early days for full implementation.

And it's hard to write with a tablet, especially with text. Of course I need "experience" too.

However, I had tried using a pen-tab to "create" an illustration from time to time, but it wasn't a good match for me.

I ended up stopping using the pen tabs (it was a waste of an investment).

Now I create pictures using only the mouse and shortcut keys (as a "SAI" user).

-----

If I can't share, I guess I'll make a temporary office, including a whiteboard, in my room.

I'm not a YouTuber.

Speaking of YouTube, I've posted a few of them on YouTube.

I'm just videotaping and throwing things on YouTube that I can't be bothered to write down.

-----

I love the world where real world meetings cannot be held.

I want the Corona disaster to subside, but I don't want the Skype conference to subside.

"15 minutes" is better than "5 hours".

Every time I get held up by security at Narita Airport, spending ten hours in a cramped economy seat, being crushed by a giant foreigner, suffering from jet lag, and being force to present in English...

It's a new-age international conference, "Banzai," where I draw English material at home, speak English about it, make video clips, and post them to a server on the Internet.

-----

However, on the other hand, I believe that capital investment for this purpose is inevitable.

"Ebata's study, studio project"

How to make this chaotic room full of papers and books (including manga comics) look like an inorganic conference room?

The first step is to examine digital video processing technology.


2021-09-04 "We have a world-class network environment, but our digital technology is in tatters"

"Buffets" and "buffets" - all-you-can-eat services with fixed prices - started in Japan 63 years ago, in 1958, at the Imperial Hotel in Japan.

In the past few years, as general-purpose IT service platforms have become cheaper, various "subscription" services have started to be linked to smartphones.

"Subsc" is an abbreviation for subscription, which simply means "a service where you pay for the period of time you receive the service".

Amazon Prime, NetFlix and other movies, Amazon Music Unlimited and other music, clothing rentals, furniture rentals, hotel chains, comics and books, office suites, cafes, English conversation classes, cram schools, home delivery, futons, and so on.

-----

Thus, it's clear that the foundation of our lives is shifting to IT platforms -- or rather, to smartphones and PCs.

"Japan's Digital Competitiveness Ranks 27th, Weaknesses in Data Analysis and Human Resources"

Our country's digital competitiveness is being trounced by our neighbors, South Korea, Taiwan and China.

I'm reading this exhibitor's report right now, and I can summarize it in a nutshell,

"We have a world-class network environment, but our digital technology is in tatters"

This seems to be the case.

"Is it me? Is it us, the IT engineers, who are at fault?"

I am so upset.

Well, that aside.

-----

I found something called "Viking" for bulky trash collection.

"All-you-can-carry services on the truck"

I was impressed by the catchphrase, which was really easy to understand.


2022-09-04 After stopping drinking, I come to prefer to get "sweets".

After stopping drinking, I come to prefer to get "sweets".

I used to like western sweets such as cakes and cream puffs, but now I prefer to eat Japanese sweets.

First of all,the calories of westren sweet is several times higer than those of Japanese sweets, and Japanese sweets seem to feel full subjectively.

When I read the comic "Deaimon" in midnight, I come to panic to want to eat Japanese sweets.

Daifukumochi, sold in supermarkets, even if that is not in Japanese sweets specialist, for about 188 yen for a pack of four, is good enough.

I don't think cheap Japanese sweets used to taste good. We appreciate the sales efforts of the manufacturers.

-----

In general, I feel that there has been a severe paradigm shift in my taste recently.

When going back to the country house, I was eating out all the time. Though I like cooking, I didn't like to dirty the kitchen in the house without my father and mother.

I am shocked that the "Gyoza no Ousho" set meals and "Yoshinoya" beef bowls, which I thought were so delicious, do not feel like I used to.

I am rediscovering nowadays that 'Chinese food at Chinese specialty restaurants is very delicious'.


2023-09-04 "I am one of the stones on the road."

They say, "It is important to be objective about yourself."

I thought I knew that 'I am not a particular person.

However, today, after attending a retirement life planning information session,

"I am one of the stones on the road."

I am a little surprised at how unsympathetic I accepted the fact.

-----

I have never thought, "I want to live a shining life.

I have never wanted to 'live a different life' or 'stand out.

I have never had any ambitions to be a role model or to change the world.

It is really true.

I just want to live a trouble-free life with less heartache and as much peace as possible and die as lacunately as possible.

-----

I will continue to live my life with as little influence on others as possible--

So, let me alone for things.
