English to Japanese Business Translation and Website Localization
English to Japanese Translation ›
Professional Business Translation by Tomedes
MAY 5, 2020 By Ofer Tirosh
While the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the way we live upside down, not every business has ground to a halt. Indeed, companies in certain sectors have been busier than ever. Online shopping and grocery retailers, couriers, video call software providers, home education businesses… all of these and more are experiencing incredible demand for their services right now.
This means that there is still plenty of demand for business translation services. Companies that have customers in multiple countries, or that sell products in one country but manufacture them in another, or provide a courier service to move others' goods, often rely on business translation in order to operate efficiently and cost-effectively.
A recent Tomedes client needed a suitably experienced business translator to help him take advantage of the new economic environment in which we find ourselves. He asked for our support with his business translation project – the translation and localization of his company website from English to Japanese. With a network of skilled, native Japanese translators on hand, we were delighted to be able to help.
E-commerce Website Localization
The client's website translation project was one that he wanted to undertake straight away. This posed no problem for the Tomedes team. We have website localization experts on hand to cover a hug range of language pairings, and with specialisations including numerous business sectors, alongside experienced legal translators and marketing translation experts. In fact, we've spent well over a decade building up a richly varied team in order to respond rapidly to our clients' translation and localization requests, whether they relate to an online shopping business or a courier service. You can read a further example of our expertise by clicking the link below.
After a detailed discussion over email about his requirements, the client decided to proceed with using our website translation services, due to a combination of our language skills, website localization experience and superb customer care. He wanted to use our website localization services to create a version of his English site that resonated perfectly with readers in Japan.
This is precisely what localization services are able to achieve. While the work of a website translator largely starts and ends with the site's copy, the ecommerce localization process factors in everything from imagery to usability, ensuring that the entire online shopping experience feels as though it were natively developed for the audience in question.

Marketing Translation Services
Of course, marketing translation comes into play here too. The way you sell a product differs hugely from country to country, at least it does if you plan to sell it successfully. Our client was well aware of this, so we talked in detail about the credentials of our marketing translation services before he engaged Tomedes to localize his website, discussing the value that an experienced marketing translator can bring to such a project.
We had also discussed the concept of transcreation with the client. Transcreation is where the translation and localization process goes beyond simply converting the existing website and instead recreates it afresh. The result is a site that looks completely different from the original, but that achieves the same purpose, whether that be building brand loyalty, facilitating sales, accruing new customers or all of the above.
After a detailed discussion, we agreed with the client that transcreation services weren't the right way forward in this instance, as an accurate translation and careful localization would result in a website that would engage the new audience in the right way.
Guaranteed Translation by Our Certified Japanese Translator
The client was also particularly interested in our translation guarantee. Tomedes offers this with every translation that we produce. It's a one-year quality assurance offering that provides the client with complete peace of mind regarding the quality of the translation.
Obviously, the client needed the English to Japanese translation to be of the highest quality. Indeed, our English to Japanese translation services provide nothing less!
With our Japanese translation services engaged, the client was able to relax, knowing that his website was in safe hands. Our certified Japanese translator worked carefully through each page of the site, diligently localising the copy to ensure that it perfectly suited its new Japanese audience.
The resulting Japanese translation was precisely what the client needed. It delivered the same messages as the English version of the website, but subtly reshaped in line with Japanese cultural nuances. This meant that the site remained true to the client's brand, while also flexing in ways that made it particularly well suited to engage Japanese customers.
Would you like to reach out to an audience in another country? If your business needs to engage international markets, but you don't speak their language, it's time to talk to Tomedes. We can assist not just with the translation and localization process, but also with developing a robust strategy that will help your company achieve its cross-border goals. Phone, email or live chat with us now to find out more!

Why Should You Know the Speeding Laws in Virginia Fairfax Attorney?
By SRIS Lawyers Group
In the state of Virginia, whether the driver is a resident or just passing through the state, it is very important that he/she is well informed about Virginia's speeding and traffic laws. Speeding violation and reckless driving are considered very serious offenses in Virginia. This state treats speeding violations harshly compared to other states because its legislators want to keep people safe by making the roads safer.
Reckless driving in the state of Virginia is considered as a first class misdemeanor. It is a criminal offense and punishments can reach a fine of $2,500, possible jail time of up to 12 months and having the driver's driving license revoked. Reckless driving forbids the driver from driving over 80 miles per hour or on any speed that is 20 miles per hour over the speed limit.
This first-class misdemeanor has the same level of offense as driving under the influence. That is how serious this offense is taken.
If the driver speeds he/she should know which road's tickets will cost more, the driver can expect to pay $6 for every mile over the limit he/she was driving. This fee jumps up to $7 per mile over when driving in an educational institution or work zone and $8 per mile over in a residential area. Drivers should avoid speeding on such roads due to their high punishments and risks.
If the driver is ticketed for driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, he/she will face a reckless driving charge and will be required to pay a fee for three years. The driver will be charged with a misdemeanor for their first offense and will face a $350 fine. A second reckless driving offense is a felony and requires the driver to pay a $1,000 fine every year for three years. Such felony will appear in the felon's record. Not only is a driver not allowed to speed but also to drive slowly, a driver can be fined $30 if he/she is caught driving too slowly.
Another reason for why a driver should know the speeding laws in Virginia is that a driver should know what to do when he/she receives the ticket and what options he/she has available. If the driver decides to take the case to court the driver must know that Virginia, unlike other states, does not dismiss speeding tickets, instead, it provides "safe driving points" to counterbalance any demerit points the driver has gathered on his/her driving record. This should be considered before the driver chooses to take the case to court.
Juvenile drivers should also know the driving laws of Virginia since the laws for people below the legal age differ from the people above it.
The driver must know the speeding laws of Virginia to avoid such legal issues. The way to avoid getting a reckless driving ticket in the state of Virginia is to not go over 80 miles per hour. The driver must keep his/her speed no more than 19 miles per hour over the speed limit. But if the speed limit is 65 miles per hour, he/she still has to keep it less than 80 miles per hour too.

Q: Method to count the sum of n dice (without using arrays) I'm trying to develop a method that interacts with this main class code to find the sum of n dice. (the main class program limits this count to the sum of 2, 3, 4 and 5 dice respectively).
for (int numberOfDice = 2; numberOfDice <= 5; ++numberOfDice) {
        System.out.println("Rolling " + numberOfDice + " dice gives "
                + MathCalc.rollDice(numberOfDice));

The task of the method is to sum the number of dice (each evaluation is independent of another, meaning that the sum of 3 dice could be 11 for example while the sum of 4 dice might only be 8.) using only a loop and some local variables.
I have produced this method for another section of my code to simulate a single roll of the dice but for some reason I cant seem to wrap my head around this next step.
public static int rollDie() {
    //roll a random number between 1-6 to simulate the roll of a die
    return 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 6);
}

A: Math.random is obsolete and flawed, don't use it, use Random instead, specifically its nextInt() method, for example:
Random random = new Random();

// get values in the range [1:6]
int roll() {
    return 1 + random.nextInt(6);
}

To sum up n rolls, call this method in a loop:
int sum = 0;
for (int numberOfDice = 0; numberOfDice < count; ++numberOfDice) {
    sum += roll();
}

A: For bonus points in your tutorial, submit this:
public static int rollDie() {
    return DoubleStream.generate(Math::random).limit(n).mapToInt(d -> (int)(d * 6) + 1).sum();
}

A move is always hectic and strenuous right? You have to keep track of dozens of details such as the packing of your items, making sure that they are packed into the right boxes or if every item has been packed by the movers. You must also co-ordinate with the movers so that the goods reach the venue on time.
This is where a professional and reliable mover will step in to help you out with a full service move. Regardless of the size of your items, a Pretoria furniture removals company should have knowledgeable and trained staff on board, who know about the correct packing procedures. You can't pack a box too tightly as it might break open. However, if you pack a box with too few items, there is a chance of it getting crushed by other boxes during the move. Your chosen Pretoria movers must be well-versed with the different packing methods of each item so we can easily prevent this possibility.
The biggest plus point of hiring a reliable Pretoria moving company is that they should fit into everyone's budget plan. If you hire large companies for the packing and moving of your goods, then you have to pay them a fixed amount, which will be calculated based on a weight minimum, which means that even if the total weight of your goods are much lesser than the minimum weight, you still have to pay the full charge. Reputable mini movers shouldn't charge any additional or hidden fees. Charges should be calculated only after your moving company assesses the total weight of your goods.
They should help in quick and easy employee relocations.
People are buying items on eBay and online auctions all the time. They help in the shipment of goods to people's houses.
If your son/daughter is attending a university or school that is situated far away, then your mover will see to it that all shipments reach the venue in record time.
You might want to send a television or a piece of furniture to your friend or relative. A reliable mover should have experience in transporting electronic goods and furniture.
If you are interested in engaging a reliable mover, all you have to do is to contact Active Transport and they will get back to you immediately. Mini Moves promise to provide you the best services at the most reasonable rates.

Moving Notes… | The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b.
One of the challenges of our move was this Chickering Baby Grand Piano that we have had in an airtight coffin in our old garage/shop structure for 20 years. We moved it with us because of our daughter's memories associated with it of her and her "Gommy" (paternal grandmother). Dear's mother was musically inclined and she taught our Katie on the piano in her early years. We loaded it into the container in Kenmore with 5+ and it was a struggle. It was the last thing left in the container here in Colville and our Colville son recruited 3 of his co-workers to help unload it on Tuesday evening. Dear researched the best way to deal with a Baby Grand and we were so happy to see it in it's place with little struggle. So thankful for our son's willing helpers and their strength to move this beast into our living room. We are also very thankful that our new living room has adequate space for this heirloom piece. Now all we need to do is to find a piano tuner in our little community.
We continue to unload boxes and find the best places for our many possessions. We take our cardboard to the community recycling center and we will be taking our garbage and other waste to the dump. It's a whole new way of life for us here in the country and in a smaller community that we've ever lived in. Dear has changed out many lights in our new place and that has brought so much more efficient light into our home. I am so thankful for my Dear and all his handy man skills. Today I did some watering in our greenhouse and picked some tomatoes and in another garden bed picked some corn. I am not a gardener in any sense but hopefully I'll learn some new skills or entice our daughter in law to use her amazing gardening skills here at our new spot. I need to come up with a name for this new home. Time will tell. Soon with all the boxes unloaded and broken down and hauled away I'll be able to sit and enjoy the views and enjoy your posts. Although uploading and creating posts with satellite connections are slower I will be able to persevere and continue on. Thank you for bearing with me.

…my daughter has moved here baby grand several times!
It looks like it's found a comfortable spot in a pleasant room!
What a nice story about your baby grand!
Continue to enjoy unboxing and settling into your new home.
Hello, wonderful story. I am glad the piano could be moved into your new home. There will be more happy piano memories in your new place. Have a happy day and weekend!
Glad you had some strong, young helpers with that piano! You are getting so much accomplished and so quickly!
so glad you are able to have the piano in your home. Now we need to plan a trip when Dave and Kristin can come up and have them do a concert!!
So glad the piano has found the perfect spot! One day at a time, Ellen…and soon it will be 'home,sweet home'.
I really, really like that piano! Antiqued cream? It's beautiful!
It will all look like 'home' before you know it!! Love the baby grand!
Glad to hear you were able to move that beautiful baby grand.
So, we both have piano stories! I contacted our church musical director to get a recommendation for a piano tuner. But it might be a few months until he has enough business in this area to make sense for him to come out!
I love that arched doorway! What a nice story of the piano and it's human connections.
Read and enjoyed both "piano posts" so much. I'm glad you' (and Addie) are able to love it for now while you wait for your daughter to have the right home for it. Loved the new and old pictures with the family and the piano.


What do you find fascinating about Jupiter's Great Red Spot?
Several things. People have long wondered, why has the Great Red Spot been around for such a long time? The Great Red Spot is a storm, and we are used to storms on Earth. The average hurricane lasts a couple of weeks at most, and it has a definite mechanism for destruction: It either goes into cool water, which cuts off its fuel supply, or it goes over land, which really cuts off its fuel supply. Tornadoes are quite impressive, but they're very ephemeral—they only last a few hours. So why do we have a Great Red Spot lasting so long? People used to say, "Oh, it's clouds hanging around a mountain top." Or "It's an iceberg in a sea of hydrogen." Those theories pretty much stopped around 1979, when Voyagers 1 and 2 flew by the planet. Nobody really knew it was a vortex, a huge hurricane that takes about six days for a single rotation. The United States would fit into the Red Spot a couple of hundred times. I mean, it's really huge. One of the great things about the Voyager missions was that they took hundreds of pictures of the clouds that make up the Red Spot, so we could finally see the whole thing swirling around, and that's how we knew for sure it was a vortex. Nobody knew it was really spinning.
How did the Great Spot start?
The Great Red Spot probably began in one of two ways: It could have been a large, upward plume that hit the stratosphere and rolled up to produce a vortex. If a rising plume can reach upward to a part of the atmosphere that's really stable, it will spread outward horizontally, and when it starts to spread out, if it's in a really rapidly rotating system like Jupiter, the spreading out produces a vortex. The other possibility is that a jet stream went unstable and started a wavy oscillation, and when the amplitude of the wave became big enough, it broke, making vortices that then merged together.
I think of jet streams as gardens in which to grow vortices.
What keeps the Spot together physically?
I am speculating that the Red Spot is, from top to bottom, somewhere between 50 and 70 kilometers tall. From side to side, it's about 26,000 kilometers. So it's a pancake. Just like with a tube of toothpaste, if I squish the pancake with high pressure at its center, something is going to squirt out the sides and top and bottom. It's known that the Great Red Spot has a high pressure at its center, but its gases don't go squirting out horizontally from its sides because of the Coriolis force in those directions—instead they squirt out vertically from the top and bottom. So, what can prevent the gases from squirting out vertically? The only way that I know to prevent that is if the top of the Great Red Spot has a dense cold lid of atmosphere above it. It's that extra density that pushes the gases in the Great Red Spot back down. And, below the Great Red Spot, there must be a warm buoyant floor of atmosphere, and that floor prevents the high pressure center from pushing the gases in the Great Red Spot downward and out its bottom. That's the balance.
So you can do both numerical and analytic calculations and say "Well gee, how dense a lid do I need? How buoyant does the floor need to be to reach that equilibrium?" There's kinetic energy associated with the winds of the vortex, but there's also this extra potential energy associated with the cold dense lid above it and the buoyant warm floor below it. While most of my colleagues who study the Great Red Spot are worried about the kinetic energy, I'm like, "No, no, no, guys: that's only about 16 percent of it." Most of the energy of the Great Red Spot is in the potential energy of a high-density cold lid and the warm buoyant floor. If you want to spend sleepless nights worrying about what could attack the Great Red Spot, think about what could attack its potential energy.
Why hasn't friction dissipated the Spot?
Our intuition says that vortices don't last forever, that there's always some sort of frictional thing dissipating it. Friction can come in many forms, so one of the things that people thought was a very active way of destroying the Red Spot was by the friction of Rossby waves. Rossby waves are a type of wave in the atmosphere that exist due to the fact that the atmosphere is a spinning spherical shell as opposed to a spinning flat plane, and they're common in the atmosphere, and move slowly. People thought the Red Spot was going to radiate Rossby waves and these Rossby waves would carry energy with them. When sudden, awful things happen in the atmosphere, like when two vortices collide or something, you see Rossby waves coming out. But generally once a vortex has been established, it shuts down broadcasting Rossby waves so there's no evidence that the radiation of Rossby waves is trying to destroy the Red Spot, which is actually in a pretty quasi-equilibrium situation.
What else could stop it?
If you want to investigate what could attack the Red Spot and make it disappear, you not only have to worry about what's attacking the kinetic energy, like friction; you also have to worry about something that turns out to be more important—what's attacking the potential energy. There's a well-known reason why the potential energy is attacked: It's called "radiative equilibrium." If I were to cool down a region of Earth's atmosphere, I could pull out my stopwatch and say, "Okay, how long does it take that cool region to warm up and come into radiative equilibrium with the surrounding atmosphere?" Or, if I made a little hot spot somewhere, I could pull out my stopwatch and say, "Okay, how long does it take, by transferring photons and other things, to re-establish equilibrium so there's no thermal signature anymore of my hot spot?" We know from calculations by other scientists, that at the location in the atmosphere where the Great Red Spot sits, the time for hot or cool spots to disappear is about 4½ years, so that extra warmth or that extra coolness would by then be indistinguishable—gone completely. So we did a lot of numerical simulations and sure enough if you put that effect of warming and cooling into our computer model of the Red Spot, the Great Red Spot just disappears in 4½ years.
What has kept it going?
The average velocities going around the spot are about a couple of hundred miles an hour. And the jet streams are also on the order of a couple of hundred miles per hour. But the estimates of the vertical velocities are really, really small. They're in the order of inches per hour, not hundreds of miles per hour, and because of that, they've largely been considered unimportant. But the vertical winds happen over a large area and they happen continually, and therefore we think they can be very important. We think that what's trying to destroy the Great Red Spot is the heat that is being transferred into the cool top and out of the warm bottom, that is trying to restore radiative equilibrium. But we think what makes the Great Red Spot stay alive despite this radiative heat transfer is this small vertical velocity.
There's a rule of thumb that as winds descend, they become warm, but as they rise, they become cold. Thermal radiation with photons inside the Great Red Spot tries to equilibrate the temperature of its lid and floor with the surrounding atmosphere. This would tend to make the cold, dense lid hotter and it would eventually disappear, destroying the Great Red Spot.
If we don't understand how Jupiter works in our own solar system, how can we figure out how Jupiters around other suns work?
But as the heavy lid starts to dissipate, pressure balance is lost. The loss of balance then allows the high pressure at the center of the Great Red Spot to push gases vertically outward through the weakened lid. As the wind rises up, it cools off, due to our rule of thumb, and resupplies cold air to the lid, re-establishing it as a cool, heavy lid. A similar process happens to the floor of the Great Red Spot and in turn re-establishes the warm floor at the bottom that thermal radiation is trying to destroy.
Plus, the upward moving gas that passes through the dissipating lid goes outside of the Great Red Spot, eventually stops rising, and is pushed outward horizontally over an area that is very big compared to the area of the Great Red Spot. It then stops moving outward and descends. That descending gas pushes the atoms and molecules of the atmosphere that surrounds the Great Red Spot downward, greatly lowering their potential energy. Finally the gas completes its journey by returning home to the center of the Great Red Spot. On its final return trip home, that gas harvests the potential energy that was liberated from the atmosphere that surrounds the Red Spot.
The harvest of that energy is what balances the loss of the Great Red Spot's energy from thermal radiation. In a computer simulation, you can actually measure the direction and magnitude of all the energies that go in and out of the Great Red Spot, and the whole energy budget balances very nicely. You've got this great drain of potential energy in the atmosphere in the area surrounding the Great Red Spot due to this circulation of gas, but it's OK because the sun re-establishes radiative equilibrium in that surrounding area and re-supplies its energy. So, ultimately, the source of energy that prevents the Great Red Spot from being destroyed is the sun.
What's the value in studying a far-off planet's atmosphere?
If we don't understand how Jupiter works in our own solar system, how can we figure out how Jupiters around other suns work? Finding Jupiters in other solar systems is a very hot topic now, because we want to know if there are other planets out there and if those other planets could harbor life. You have to start somewhere in studying planets around stars other than our sun, and you have to make dumb mistakes. That's how fields start.
Now I'm going to make a complaint: NASA's a wonderful organization, and I'm grateful to NASA for the funding that they've given me and my fellow theorists. But the amount of money that they spend on hardware—on getting things up into space, compared with the amount of money they spend to analyze the data they obtain from those things is very imbalanced. There are tons of data from the Voyager trips collected 31 years ago that are still unanalyzed, and getting funding to examine them is very, very difficult. People go, "Oh no, you have to do something new and exciting with new data! You don't want to go back and look at data that is so old." But there's stuff there that's really valuable! What sells in Congress is hardware. Everybody likes hardware. What NASA really needs—I hate to say this—is another Carl Sagan. Carl had a knack for making people appreciate what we discovered as well as the machines that made the discoveries possible.

Facebook Signs Up For EU's Privacy Shield Data Treaty
Posted: Oct 16 2016, 7:50am CDT | by IANS, in Latest Political News
Social networking giant Facebook has agreed to adopt a new European Union (EU) data accord that allows personal information to be transferred to the US, potentially sparking yet another privacy row, the media reported.
Facebook has quietly signed the Privacy Shield -- a controversial treaty that allows US technology companies to transfer EU citizens' details abroad. It will apply to certain advertising data and its new Workplace service for businesses, the Telegraph UK reported on Saturday.
Privacy Shield, a replacement deal that was designed to provide extra safeguards for Europeans, came into force in July. Google and Microsoft have already adopted the treaty.
Facebook signed up at the end of September, although only two aspects of the social network use it.
The first is Workplace, a special version of Facebook that allows company employees to communicate, which was launched last week.
The other is its "Ads and Measurement" technology that uses customer data supplied by other companies to target adverts.
Other user data is not covered by the treaty, although it can be transferred to the US under secondary legal measures, the report said.
"We have signed up two important parts of our business to the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework - Facebook at Work and our relevant Ads and Measurement services," a Facebook spokesman confirmed the report.
Facebook's adoption of the treaty is significant because the prior US-EU agreement, Safe Harbor which was abolished by the European Court of Justice as a direct result of legal action against the social network by privacy campaigners.
However, it is likely to lead to further scrutiny of the Privacy Shield deal from Facebook's critics, the report stated.

How Technology Will Get You A Better Worker—And Get Your Worker A Better Job
Dan Bigman
MIT's Andrew McAfee, author of the bestsellers More From Less, Machine, Platform Crowd and The Second Machine Age, has a contrarian—and refreshingly optimistic—take on the intersection of management, labor and technology. It involves transparency, trust—and treating people like adults.
Editor's Note: MIT's McAfee will keynote our Sept. 28 CEO Talent Summit (hosted virtually) along with former Medtronic CEO Bill George and Verizon CHRO Samantha Hammock. It'll be a great session to help you develop the workforce strategy you need for the unpredictable year—and years—ahead. Join Us! More Information >
The last time I talked with Andrew McAfee, a cofounder and codirector of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy at the MIT Sloan School of Management, it was just before Covid, we didn't once discuss Covid. Which is ironic, given that he's a futurist and we were talking about the future of work.
But while McAfee, author of the bestsellers More From Less, Machine, Platform Crowd and The Second Machine Age, may not predicted that the whole world would be shut down by a virus just months after our conversation, upending workplace norms developed over a century, our discussion did nail a lot of other issues which have come to pass, many of which are being accelerated by the bull-rush of technology change during the last three years.
Tops among them: The explosive growth of artificial intelligence in all aspects of our lives. It may not be transparent how it's working, or when it's working, but it's there in a dizzying number of interactions between customers and suppliers, bosses and employees—even artists and their audiences.
While so much of the coverage around technology and the workplace focuses on doomsday scenarios, with evil capitalists using the power of machines to inexpensively displace millions of workers, McAfee—based on a lot of consulting inside of actual, real-live companies—sees things very differently. He sees a huge, under-discussed opportunity to help humans do work meant for humans, and more, the chance for companies to truly understand the potential and needs of all of their workers and expand their skills, grow their pay and nourish their career aspirations with an unmatched level of detail.
As an example, he worked with a big e-tailer recently to map the underlying skills in key jobs in their workplace, and then developed algorithms to scan for people at other companies with very different jobs and titles that share the same skill sets, unearthing hidden candidates hiding in plain sight.
This kind of effort and others, scaled and unleashed across all of business, will prove a boon for employers—and workers. "You'll increase their wages, you'll give them a path that feels better to them," he says. The following conversation was edited for length and clarity:
So often what we hear about the interface between technology and the workforce is very, very negative. That is, we're going to put tens of thousands of people out of jobs with AI and we're keylogging people and we're violating privacy, and Gen Z and millennials, they're just not going to stand for it. But you say we're really underselling and underestimating the potential upside of all the technology and how it can help the workforce and help business do things better together, right?
I'm completely saying that. Measurement is not the enemy on either side of that social contract, right? Because the better I understand what you are actually good at, the better I can make use of those skills. And if I combine that with some information about where you might want to take your career or your next job, fantastic. Am I demonstrably underpaying you? Yeah, in some cases, I absolutely am. We only know that by measuring things pretty well and being able to put that information in a digestible form.
So, if measurement is intrusive, or surreptitious, or inappropriate for what we're trying to accomplish, then there are problems with measurement. But the idea that measurement of what people do on the job is somehow bad, that doesn't make sense for a minute.
So, what's the gap? Where are we, and where do we need to get to quickly for technology to play that better, more useful role in commerce when it comes to the talent in the workforce?
We need to build up our capabilities to handle people's professional information, to get them in the same order of magnitude of refinement as people's social information. So, the social Web 2.0 is what? Fifteen years old now? Holy cow, are we good at assessing all the things you do on platforms, all the things I do on platforms, all of our clicks, all of that to service very tailored ads. That is a huge, well-developed industry. We can argue ethics. We can argue pros and cons. That is a big very, very refined industry.
We need to get as good with our professional activities as we do with our personal activities at the task of measurement for the very simple reason that it's very hard to manage what you can only measure poorly. The better we get at measuring things like your skills and your trajectory and where you want to take your next job and your career, the better we get at measurement, the better we can help you with that.
The thing I don't like about a lot of the current [media] coverage is it hearkens back to this robber baron era of thinking about business where there are just evil bosses trying to exploit helpless employees. Man, that's a tired narrative. That doesn't really work anymore. I guarantee you every company that I've worked with really wants its talent to not walk out the door and not be unhappy and not quit.
So, they want to know who those people are, why they're being underpaid, what is the right market wage for the skills that they have, taking into account local conditions, taking into account inflation. All these different things. Just a simple question like, what's the right wage to pay you to minimize the chances you're going to walk out the door because you're unhappy with your salary? That's a very simple question. If we can help companies answer that, both sides will be happier.
So if we get this right, where are the sunny uplands here? Where are we going if we start to get this stuff? Where could we be going?
Here is an easy step: When I talk to companies about their merit cycle process, what we used to call performance reviews or bonuses, the instant I ask an executive or business leader about it, they do some combination of hitting their head against the nearest hard object and curling up into a fetal position because they're like, "Look, it's this long drawn-out process. It kind of sucks. It takes a long time." Who are we most at risk of losing? Who's about to walk out the door here? We don't really know. We don't really know what the fair wage is to pay them.
So, we wind up in this long series of meetings where there's some poor person trying to manage an Excel spreadsheet capturing the results of the discussion, where we take the merit pool and try to allocate it intelligently across a group of people. That's a bummer of a process now.
One thing we can do pretty quickly [with technology] is remove a huge amount of the headache there and say, "Okay, you got $x mil of merit pool to allocate across all the people in the marketing department." Boom. Here's the first pass at that. Taking into account everything we know about job titles and wages and prevailing wages in regions and things like that, boom, here's a plan. We've just given you a plan.
Now, you can tweak it. Now we got to give Dan more for all these reasons we can talk about. We got to bump him up a little bit. Great. Like, rejigger the rest of the numbers and give people a merit cycle process that is relatively painless as opposed to relatively painful and that involves a decent amount of data and a decent amount of optimization as opposed to a huge amount of kind of hand-waving and guesswork. That's what we can do.
That's a beachhead to doing all kinds of other things that way. What's the training plan? What's the upskilling path? How do I, as a boss, feel like I've got a decent cockpit or a decent dashboard for the people in my organization as opposed to what I have now, which is kind of a list of headcount by department? Let's get a lot better than that, right?
If you're going to build a cutting-edge factory today, every machine in that factory is instrumented and you have a very, very precise dashboard of how well the machines in your factory are doing. The idea that we're many, many years behind that with the people, that doesn't make a ton of sense to me. That's what we need to fix.
Of course, there's the potential here for that Orwellian future, taking on the other side. Look at what China does with social credit scores. How are we not falling into that when you talk about the things you're talking about here?
It's a justifiable thing to worry about. What's going to keep us from tipping into one or the other is, at a high level, it's our values as a society, and then the laws and institutions that come down from that. We have decided as a liberal democracy that we do not want to be an authoritarian state. We have this 200-plus year tradition of thinking a lot and then trying to carefully limit the powers of government, for example. So, I ain't voting for anybody who thinks the social credit score is a good idea. And I'm pretty sure that that would get struck down by the courts as they're currently configured for a long time to come in the same way that the cops can't just, you know, beat down your door without a search warrant, right?
On the corporate side, the other big force that we have is competition, is the fact that you can take your human capital and go elsewhere with it, which is the huge advantage that a market-based system has over a centrally planned economy, right?
The single biggest thing is to give people skills, valuable skills that they can then go take elsewhere if their current situation seems really Orwellian to them. Now, I can imagine layering onto that some requirements that, for example, your employer has to make it clear to you what kinds of things they're monitoring and which ones they aren't. I don't know if that's the current state of the law. I can imagine reasons why that would be a good idea. It's the kind of thing we need to think about.
I always believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and if you or I take a job and the employer is like, "Look, here's what we're going to do, and if we change that, we are going to tell you about it." Good. I believe that adults, once you give them information, they tend to make informed decisions.
There's this deep split in how we think about people in this technologically sophisticated environment. One is, to my eyes, that they're kind of clueless and helpless and we must make their choices for them. We must say, for example, you can't keep user information or you can't use AI to place people in a job or to admit them to school.
I find that a little paternalistic. I find that, in some ways, a lot paternalistic, this idea that, for example, people aren't aware of what Facebook is doing. I really think people are aware of what Facebook is doing and how they make their money. I don't think that's one of the great mysteries of our time. And the fact that Facebook has billions of users, to me, means that people are kind of aware of the contract and they're signing up for it.
Now again, do we need transparency? Do we need clarity? Yeah, I think we can do with some more of that. But I'm in the camp that believes that, especially with adults, if you are sure to give them information, we can trust them to make decisions, by and large, that where they look out for themselves and where they're making intelligent decisions. I find that a pretty deep split, and I'm on the side that says, "Wow, I believe we can fundamentally trust people if we give them information to make decent decisions."
It's when they violate the trust—that's when people can either step away from the job or step away from Facebook or step away from whatever. It's when they feel that they've been misused.
Absolutely. And that can happen if the employer, for example, wasn't clear about the monitoring, about the surveillance. But people working in an Amazon warehouse, are they aware that their activities are being tracked? I certainly think so. There can't be any big mystery. You're a warehouse worker at Amazon. You think they just, like, don't care what you do for eight hours? The idea that that's some kind of violation, I don't love that idea.

Because virt-v2v depends on the ESX driver of libvirt to get the metadatas of the guest on ESX server, and libvirt compiles the drivers as static libraries into libvirtd directly, so if it doesn't compile ESX driver into libvirtd by default, we will not be able to convert the guests from ESX server, except the user compile libvirt from source code himself. which is no good.
In virt-v2v new build, there is no v2v-libvirt package now. So close this bug, if any problem, please feel free to reopen, thanks.


(Bloomberg) -- Foxconn Technology Group Chairman Terry Gou said the iPhone will go into mass production in India this year, a shift for the largest assembler of Apple Inc.'s handsets that has long concentrated production in China.
India has become the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world, while China stagnates and Apple loses share to local competitors such as Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi Corp. Apple has been a minor player in India, in part because of its high prices, but local manufacturing would help the Cupertino, California-based company avoid import duties of 20 percent.
Indians bought more than 140 million smartphones last year, with just 1.7 million sold by Apple, as consumers favored cheaper models from China. On Xiaomi's Indian website, the Redmi Note 7 has a price of 9,999 rupees ($143), which is about a 10th the price of Apple's iPhone Xs in the country.

Write a letter of recommendation to confirm that someone is of strong faith.
People often seek to take on greater roles in a church by assuming different positions in its ministry. Whether they want to help lead a church youth ministry or direct the church choir, they can make a great impact on a church and local community by leading a ministry. Those who wish to take on a new position in a church's ministry, however, may need to present a letter of recommendation from a church leader who can attest to their skill and value to the church community. If writing a letter of recommendation for someone to join a ministry, draw from your experience with that person to create the best letter possible.
Introduce yourself in the letter. Include your title, how long you have worked in your current position and how long you have known the person for whom you are writing the letter. Doing so will lend credibility to your recommendation.
Reflect on the position for which the person has applied. If it is a leadership position, you will need to consider what leadership skills you believe the person will bring to the position. If the person wants to work in a smaller capacity, you can also consider what personality traits or ethics he or she will bring to the position as well. Similarly, note that the person has been actively engaged in your church and is in good standing.
Share a personal story in the letter that reflects a positive characteristic about the applicant. You may share how you witnessed the person speak with a youth about problems he was having at school. Alternately, you may share a story of how the applicant has grown spiritually.
Write why you think the person would be a good fit for the particular ministry position. If he or she has characteristics like compassion, a strong knowledge of biblical principles and an ability to connect with others, highlight such personal attributes.
Conclude your letter by offering to answer any further questions.
