It’s so funny to me how confidently incorrect this comment is.

Yen is still cheaper than at any point in the last year.

It’s not entirely wrong even though there has been a 12% change the last month or so. The Yen is still historically cheap VS USD. Last time I was there you got like 110¥ for 1$. It’s around 140¥ today. But yeah, going there a few months ago would have been better.

When I was there in May, it was well over 150 yen per dollar.

However, even with 140 yen per dollar the prices would be quite good.

And yet you’ve somehow managed to create a reply that’s even worse.

Optimistic to think that the current price is cheap.

Interesting way to frame these management tactics, but the conclusions don’t seem to have much support from the rest of the context.

We’re trying to deprecate the brain.

I'd be curious to hear how you guys are trying to achieve this.

Yet another reason the digital world is marching towards a closed-by-default model.

This is why the internet as we know it is going to be driven into walled gardens. Closed by default.

Frankly, I think walled gardens built and controlled by the communities that use them would be an improvement.

There’s a big difference between a one off replica and person-as-a-service.

Seems like fraud would be a more likely charge.
