On: SPhotonix – 360TB into 5-inch glass disc with femtosecond laser

I'd love to see lower-density glass storage made with home laser engravers. Something like 50GB per 5in^2.

It could track the largest HDDs - 20TB on a 3.5" slab.

On: Japanese restaurants: "not charging tourists more, just charging locals less"

Why not set up a system where travelers who feel they have benefited from the weak yen can voluntarily pay tips? That would be more moderate.

There may have been a misunderstanding when I said "tips", what I meant to say was a donation to the restaurant. Even if the donation is zero cents, it doesn't make the accountant cranky. (deepl translate jp=>en)

Or (deceptive as it may be), it would still be less blatant to support local customers by giving them discount coupons if they come 10 times!

Paying a tip is an offence in Japan.

I wouldn't go that far. It's not offensive, just really weird in a lot of contexts.

I use UberEats in Japan and usually tip.
