2014-06-11 Now I am writing a column about GID.

Now I am writing a column about GID.

I concentrate aspects "pain" and "suffering" of GID at the first round.

The other day, I finished an interview to a person of MTF, and I could understand GID deeply.

Thanks to this "real voice", I feel the big paradigm shift is coming like from "coast of the shallow beach” to “the bottom of the Japan Trench".

Now I want to hear more real voice about GID directly. I am going to go out to interview face by face.

I strongly would like to meet pre-operation persons and FTM persons especially.

I am looking forward to your mail to me.

Of course, I will absolutely protect your privacy through my life and honor.

I would be very pleased if my column heals the GID's pain even if it is a little.

-----

Now I doubt about the number of GID population that ministries have announced, so I try to re-calculate it.

"Painful human could say "painful" anytime, anywhere."

I believe it even if I am superficiality, pettiness, cowardice as a diary of yesterday.


2015-06-11 "Younger researchers in these day, are suppose to want ot use the words "market scale" and "business model, before starting their study"

"Younger researchers in these day, are suppose to want ot use the words "market scale" and "business model, before starting their study"

I heard about the above person who has got mad with the younger researchers.

I also hear the person is my boss of other days, and

I was very glad.

I felt that my revered boss also thought some thing of what I have wanted to say.

-----

I who am a research manager of private company, cannot admit any research project without the view of market size and business model

in public.

So I usually tell you on a routine basis

"Cheat us, who are your bosses"

-----

For me, thinking new research theme, based on market size and business model,

is impossible.

I need a research that makes me happy.

I have too many research themes which I want to do, so now I am working to spread the new concept of "weekend researcher" out in the world.

In addition, the research that I want to do, don't make money at all.

For example, the research of "Diet" makes no money, even if some people become to dislike my activities.

-----

I who am clever, smart, intelligent and handsome, could destroy easier the logic of the market size or business model, you are trying to think. I believe I don't need three seconds for the destruction.

What I want to watch is not the correct market size or business model you believe correct.

I want to get your nonsense data, un-logical hypothesis and, zeal and craze for your life.

If you can do it,

I am going to be cheated by you.


2016-06-11 Both are folly and meaningless.

(Continuation from yesterday)

Even if I don't share interest of others, my life is enough fun with just my interest.

Now I am researching to make a home server whose cost is lower than 500yen and power is less than 1W.

Given the cost and time that I should spend, it might be cheaper to buy a normal server machine for my home.

However, that might be how it is.

cheering or cursing irrelevant teams or persons,

making a system construction with leaving the cost out of consideration,

both are folly and meaningless.

# Baseball or football might be better a making system, because their interests are shared by a lot of people.

-----

Nobody can restrict others interest.

However I think at least that the persons are my fellows who has the interest not to be shared with the majority, or not to be come out.

On the other hand, I don't have an intention that I talk to them each other, at all, and it means,

"It is the affair of other people isn't it?"

After all, I go to back to this topic opening.


2017-06-11 I think that it will clarify that "shut up, you armature!" if the team continues defeats.

(Continuation from yesterday)

So I want to make a suggestion. If the "fans" and "critic" want to blame the manager so much, I think that they work for the manager.

This is not a defiant attitude but a certain reason.

In a book whose title is "THE WISDOM OF CROWDS", the consequences of "average value" of decisions made by many persons is somewhat similar to "true value".

At the beginning of this book, the story is introduced that the average value of the bull's body weight forecast by the crowd at the grand prize, is almost similar to "true value".

So, the system I propose is simple.

"Fans" and "critics" who are watching the game, decided in real time by net voting, and the management order is decided by the majority vote.

Vote everything, for example stolen, casual hit, four-ball, etc.

With this process, the ruling of the baseball team should be realized, and no one can complain.

-----

Now, if the baseball team continues to win, it is a great result from a sociological point of view,

I think that it will clarify that "shut up, you armature!" if the team continues defeats.

As an IT engineer, I would like to watch this experiment, by all means.

If any television station will be planning as a variety show, I will cooperate free of charge.


2018-06-11 Recently, I come to give up helping people who cannot use "e-mail".

I introduce e-mail to a small group of people like neighborhood associations, and try to realize shorter time meeting. However, my this trial doesn't work well.

Recently, I come to give up helping people who cannot use "e-mail".

-----

In the first place, "e-mail" becomes already old.

In the SNS generation, some people do not know "e-mail" itself.

However, "e-mail" is not voice media but a device, that can broadcast, is embedded in simple cell phone.

When I think how to notify someone who does not receive mail, etc, I notice that my trial will become overload in reverse.

Also, for people who can not create a text of the email or can not use the IME, email operation will not be anything but pain.

I know that.

-----

But, can we think "let's help people who can not use the phone" (of course, people who are blind are different)?

I think we should "give up".

I have continued offering a helping hand for 30 years, and I have tried something.

I don't have any feeling to help a person who has given up from the beginning that "I cannot use such things"

-----

I, who have continued offering a helping hand for 30 years, can be forgiven.

"To give up helping people who cannot use "e-mail" is equal "to drive people who can not use e-mail out of the community", however, I do not know anymore.

-----

What I can say is now,

"I will also be kicked out from the community by technology (or another reason)"

"At that time, I want to disappears alone toward the darkness of solitude quietly and not ugly"

I declare them here.


2019-06-11 The IC card has not been "existing" for the first time.

A derailment accident occurred in Yokohama municipal subway, and a certain section was in a state of suspension for several days.

My commuting section was directly damaged and I had to commute on an alternate route.

Under this condition, commuting IC cards such as SUICA and PASMO will become difficult to use.

However, the company that caused (or be caused by)the accident will compensate for the fare for the alternative route. I do not have to pay that fare.

However, current IC cards do not have the ability to automatically convert routes into alternate routes.

So, if I use the IC card, "I" will pay for the alternative route.

"What do I have to do"

I asked the station staff of the ticket gate, he said

"In every ticket gate, show your IC card to the station staff, and do not touch the ticket reader."

-----

"Copernicus-like transformation of ideas"

The IC card has not been "existing" for the first time.

Considering that the IC card should be changed according to the accident section, the cost of system repair can be daunting.

It will also force passengers to make changes such as entering alternative routes, which may cause confusion.

To begin with, such an accident that stops operation for several days is a rare case.

I think that the money that the railway company that caused the accident pays to other railway companies is likely to be "approximate estimation".

Maybe, "no one wants to know exactly to "yen unit" using IC card information"

Honestly, personal injuries occur at a frequency of "Greeting with neighbors," even without saying "everyday greeting."

Therefore, the railway company is in an interdependence relationship.

-----

However, it is the story among railway companies. Hey, Yokohama Municipal Subway. I am "irrelevant" against your community.

(To be continued)


2020-06-11 "Right after the massive earthquake, air traffic controllers did not give a stop order to a passenger plane, and let it take off and go into the air"

I'm having trouble with "the Book,

that is in my house somewhere, but I don't know where it is.

It's especially hard when I am looking for citations for your column and I have a deadline looming.

Because I don't have time to spend looking for it.

In addition, I have a habit of littering books, and sometimes I don't even know if the books really exist in the house.

-----

As a result, I may end up buying the same book over and over again.

However, the only difference is that this is an e-book.

Up until now, I've always insisted that paper books are the only thing of value, so my daughter has scorned me for saying, 'Dad, it's so easy to change your opinion.

But I don't care because I believe that my value is in this "sobriety apostasy" or "light-hearted turnaround".

It's a rule of thumb in my life, that "Gone from the guy who has a policy of "stubbornness""

-----

This time I purchased "Japan Sinks" by the late Mr.Sakyo Komatsu.

I really wanted to reread a scene in this novel, and I bought it as an e-book -- and I'm really glad I did.

This is because the search function of the e-reader alone allows me to jump to the scene at once.

By the way, when I reread, I usually only repeat certain scenes that I like.

In "Japan Sinks", the scene of

"Right after the massive earthquake, air traffic controllers did not give a stop order to a passenger plane, and let it take off and go into the air"

is the best.

This part of the book makes me cry, no matter how many times I read it.

======

God!

Even the controller in charge, who was usually an unbeliever, shouted in his mind on this occasion.

(Omission)

You can't stop! Open the throttle! Pull back on your stick! Let's get to the sky! A terrible destruction on the ground is coming soon.

======

I read the book again, and I kept being overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of simulations.

Poor numerical simulations such as the one I'm doing are not at all telling

I was appalled.

At my age, when I re-read this book, I am struck by the people who are fighting to rescue the Japanese.

The struggles of politicians and academics, in particular, almost bring me to tears.

In this corona disaster, these people continue to fight in a way that we can't see.

And I thought that we who don't even know it must be throwing out fawning, mindless comments from a safe distance.

-----

Aside from that.

I'll reveal why I purchased "Japan sinks" in this month's column.


2021-06-11 "Teleworking needs a lot of patience?"

"Teleworking needs a lot of patience?"

I think it's based on my own special environment, and my arrogance.

I have always used a keyboard within three days until I was 19 years old.

Computer is now a part of my body.

So, I don't feel pain in teleworking itself.

This news of "Many people are furious about teleworking policy during the Tokyo Olympics" seems to be a different argument from a problem about IT literacy.

-----

The majority of jobs in the world can't be completed only by computer & remote work.

Looking at the data, 12.5% of workers do not use computers, but this doesn't means that 100% of work is computer-based.

Those who do not use computers 100% of the time are high among part-time workers (33.7%) and sales and service workers (25.2%).

However, since actual work is a hybrid of computer and non-computer work, the ratio of "work cannot be accomplished by telework alone" should be much higher.

Even if you think about it normally, telework is not viable for cleaning, customer service, line manufacturing, supermarkets, security, hairdressers, housekeeping, inspection, moving businesses, nursing care, farming, fishing, construction, and sales clerks in general.

As far as I can see from the data here, the "ratio of the working population that cannot be established by telework alone" is about "70%", which is the majority.

I just happen to be in the minority.

-----

So...

"Many people are furious about teleworking policy during the Tokyo Olympics"

is not a media demagogue, but a quantitative "many people" based on the data.


2022-06-11 the dormitory students who didn't attend at class, repeated a year without hesitation, and taled politics out loud over drinks, was "The Object of My Hatred". I thought that.

Several years ago, my senior daughter stayed at Yoshida-dormitory

The dormitory appears in the opening of the anime "Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei"(jump to YouTube)

She said that "it was for the meeting of theater club"

I thought that from "self-governing dormitory" to "theater", the next would be "student activity", however, she had not seemed to go to that.

"Do we have to start to argue about heated political debate?", I thought. However, I don't remember the chance even for one second, at all.

On the contrary, I am very happy that I had not got a call from police, "Your daughter was arrested for obstruction of justice and is currently in custody".

Moreover, the above image might be "unexpected" in our daily life in society.

-----

In comparison, my parents (especially my mother) called me, saying "You didn't do anything did you ?", whenever an incident happened at colleges in Kyoto.

Coming to think it again, my mother was not familiar with such "student activity", I doubt that there was an annoying relative who gave her unwanted wisdoms.

Against the call, I shouted

"I would have spent the time for part-time to make ends meet if I had the time you idiot!"

and hung up abruptly.

-----

Well, my mother's concerns were some reasonable.

This is because I lived in a school dormitory (autonomous dormitory).

In most cases, autonomous dormitories were linked political campaigns( I don't know the present)

The main reason I had lived in the school dormitory was "low fee".

And I had to do something to keep staying the "low fee" dormitory (like chief of the dormitory)

For me, the life in the dormitory was for quote and money, and the political campaigns could not have enthused me finally.

At least, I didn't care of them at all. Rather I liked study of electronics, for example, a electric circuit simulations, using the Z80 personal computer by my coding.

-----

For me with rigorous engineering curriculum, writing reports while pulling one or two all-nighters a week, and working part-time seven days a week,

the dormitory students who didn't attend at class, repeated a year without hesitation, and talked politics out loud over drinks, was

"The Object of My Hatred"

I thought that.

I'm still mad at them when I remember it now

-----

I was able to balance my life with part-times and studies, and before long my friends even called me "Ebata Zaibatsu", because I could add fried chickens to Tenkaichi's ramen. So I decided to move out the dormitory.

I remember exhilaration of the day when I could start my boarding house with the money I earned myself.

"I'm finally free of those lousy "summary" days... ahhhhh!"

-----

A senior member of the Japanese Red Army, which has been responsible for numerous international terrorist incidents, was recently released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence.

I just googled a bit and learned that Yoko Sakaki in Kaiji Kawaguchi's manga "Medusa" is modeled on that executive, and I just now clicked the button.

Even if my daughter wants to a "crazy life", I have prepared to accept it, however,

I don't hope her to choose the life like "Medusa".


2023-06-11 But only programs and systems can't predict where I will get stuck.

This weekend, a whole day and a half of my time melted away because the code I was so high on, 'it will work now,' didn't work.

And it is still not working.

Lately, when I wake up in the morning, a long to-do list flows through my head, and that alone is enough to make me feel depressed.

In such a situation, 1.5 days is tough.

-----

There are two things in the world: (a) things that can be worked out over time and (b) things that are nothing to be worked out over time.

So, some of the above (b) will not happen for reasons unrelated to your efforts. Programming and systems are that.

Columns will come up with stories if you give them time.

I can also manage patents and papers.

At the very least, I can estimate the time.

But only programs and systems can't predict where I will get stuck.

-----

So, this weekend was just hard and dark.

I am very depressed because I have no idea what to work tomorrow.
