2021/7/26.  The “more” or “more than or equal to” I met one difficult problem. The original story(English) is below site’s problem. And changed story(Japanese) includes changed rule. I think that this change is from mistranslation. But this change causes the problem MORE difficult. The original story http://www.bigriddles.com/riddle/ten-pirates-and-their-gold [The problem part] Each pirate will vote against a proposal if they know that they would end up with more gold if that proposal were to fail. [Changed rule] Each pirate will vote against a proposal if they know that they would end up with “more or equal to” gold if that proposal were to fail. It is a miracle difficult problem caused by mistranslation. “より大きい” corresponds to "more than". “以上” corresponds to "more than or equal to". “未満” corresponds to "less than". “以下” corresponds to "less than or equal to". In addition to the model answer, there are the following answ...

  2021/7/16.     Cheaper economy in Japan   I ate alone dinner at Yayoiken in Japan. https://www.yayoiken.com/en_files/regular_menu_pdf/88_2021.07Regular_EN_0706.pdf?id=2281 Hummm. It costed ¥780, approximately US$7.10. Is this too cheap? I ate at Tokyo Ginza in Japan. I don’t want to tell how good taste it was or how beautiful the dinner was.(And it was not so beautiful, just only one meal.) What makes it so cheap? Law of one price seems to have strong power in Japan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_one_price I think that law of one price prevents raising price in Japan. I want to think more deeper about this topic, later.

  2021/7/8.  “ 追い貸し” “追い貸し” refers to the extension of the life of bad company that should normally leave the market by the bank by making additional loans. Additional loans to bad company or government for extension of their life… “追い貸し” is similar to debt trap, but more clever. I feel that “追い貸し” is being done to USA government by other governments or non-native USA investors. Simply, USA government can’t return their debts, so that they have to cut government costs or USA interest rates raises. But none of them occured. This is because of “追い貸し”. “追い貸し” keeps on until USA government give up. In additional simulation, I think that next USA President will be Mr.Trump. Because if the USA stock & bond market crash, the society will be confused. At that time, he gets that position.

  2021/6/29.  The RED FLAGs in Tokyo Stock Market I sold all my stocks in Tokyo Stock Market. There seems to be some red flags in Tokyo Stock Market. First of all, J-reit market’s average Net Asset Value(NAV) is high. Almost all J-reit stocks’ NAV are over 1. This means that J-reit stocks are more expensive than their real values. Secondly, J-reit market’s average yields is 3.3%, it’s near 3%. This is dangerous flag. Aging country, especially as Japan, has low interest rates, but there are risk premiums. Risk premium has to be higher than 3.5% in Japan. (This number is what I feel.) Interest rates in Japan is under 0%, and I think it is equal to 0%. So J-reit market’s average yields should be over 3.5%. Third red flag is existence of individual investors. They are end buyers, and they seem to bet their money in Tokyo Stock Market. I don’t know when this bull market ends, but I quit this game and take a rest in some months. Cash is king, and crash is near.

  2021/6/2.  The Humanai & Humonkey I am afraid of the future between Humanai and Humonkey. Of course, Humanai and Humonkey are my original words.  Humanai The people who can create or use AI. Humanai can also use programming languages. Humonkey The people who are used by Humanai. Humonkey is monolingual, and only use smartphones. I want to write more about this topic, but I can’t write it now. I am learning about Python and other IT more and more.

  2021/5/25.  The Working Memory(WM) Working memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory Working memory(WM) is a small memory in human brain which can hold temporal information. WM is the part of short-term memory which is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing. WM is just like a memory on computer. I have heard that training WM was important for doing tasks on job. Recently, I felt that I could training my WM with some smartphone’s app. And I found that N back task may be effective to train WM. N-back https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back There are some variations in N back task. I bought one app which train my WM by remembering about numbers of figure. https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/nバック/id591320567 I found that N-back task is consisted from load power and cycle number. Load power is number of N, and cycle number is number which I solved N task. Training WM is just like training muscle. Now, I could score 60 time...

 2021/5/12.  The Keynote Drawing I created one drawing. Recently, I bought electric piano (only for DTM). I am interested in creating music. And below are pictures what I have taken in Tokyo.

  2021/5/9. The Searching with Google Recently, searching with Google may be not enough for high IQ people. First of all, results of it include many advertisements, which are applied for SEO. Secondly, Google search doesn’t optimize for abstraction words. High IQ people can use both of abstract words and specific terms. If we search with specific terms, there are answers what we want to know. But if we search with abstraction words, there are mistakes. It’s not wrong for Google, because Google does business and optimization to various classes is correct answer for Google. In addition, Google seems to try other businesses, such as AI, Education and Firebase with Cloud servers. Google search may be still main business, but there are too many companies which want to cheat search rankings. I think that Google search’s results will be worse than now. And this doesn’t mean that Google’s stock price will be cheaper. Google may search other business fields(with Google search engine). :-)

  2021/5/1.     The Python I am learning about Python language with Udemy.  Dr.Angel’s “100 days of coding” is best course I have met. Python language is just like user side computer programming language. It is very useful for computer users. This means that Python language will be defect standard in programming languages. There are various computer OS, and Python will be language across those OSs. Python is powerful language. For example, I use Python library PyPDF2 for combining PDF. This library saves money for me to buy additional PDF readers’ function. The function costs $15per a month. There are lots of IDE(App for writing codes), and I am using VSCode on Windows. VSCode is free IDE for private development. Very useful, it is. If someone wants to get new skill, I recommend learning Python. And how I learn Python are below. (1)Watching Udemy courses. (2)Reading books. (3)Copying codes from Udemy courses and books. (4)Additionally, reading magazines about Python....

  2021/4/1.  The 80:20 rule I wonder that how many times I have wrote this theme. 80:20 rule This is unfair rule which is called as “Pareto principle”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle If this rule is applied to whole people on the earth, what happens? Certain people(20%) can use 80% of the earth’s assets, and almost people(80%) can use 20% of them. The number of whole people on the earth is 7.9 billion. 20% of 7.9billion is about 1.6billion. How big is the 1.6 billion people? Almost as same as the number of Chinese. China vs USA is simple. Which is the king?

  2021/3/7.  The CLOCK The CLOCK is my app for Kindle Fire tablet. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?i=mobile-apps&rh=p_4%3AKouhei+Takagi&search-type=ss I released it! The app is simple clock app. It displays analog clock, current date, and digital clock.

  2021/2/20.  The intensive reading I used to prefer speed reading more than intensive reading. Intensive reading https://harappa.education/harappa-diaries/what-is-intensive-reading The meaning of intensive reading is to read with full concentration and complete focus. However, I found my intensive reading skill has been very low. I have not read books or news with much concentration. I just only read them just like computers scan them. Recently, I have been trying to pass some exams. I passed some easy exams, but I lost difficult exams. I regretted about it. I thought why I lose them, and I found that I haven’t use intensive reading. Difficult exams needs high language skills, so to pass the exams, I have to increase my intensive reading skills. Quality is more than quantity. Facebook CEO has said “Done is more than perfect.”, this is right answer for perfectionists, but I am not perfectionist. I want to say “Perfect is more than done, for me.”. I didn’...

  2021/1/10.     The Option trade   I got ¥100,000($1,000) with option trade. I have done good trade, but I am worrying about the stock markets now. The stock market is booming now. It’s not bad at all.  But it seems to be dangerous. Everybody becomes greedy, so take care! I recommend that keeping high cash position and entering into stock market with the money which you can lose. When everyone becomes greedy, it’s time to stop dancing on stock market. I have bought Gold & Silver. They are not so high prices. And I will bet my money with option trade again in near future. This site provides how market is greedy or fear. https://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/ Now it’s 77 points greedy. There may be some space to raise stock prices. But I feel something is going strange. This is because nobody can stop money financing by central banks. I guess that stock prices will get higher till July in this year. But I don’t have solid confidence. This stock market’s b...
