The TP Card looks to be a variant of the stored-value IC cards like Suica [1][2] used for transit and e-money payments across Japan, but with a fixed commuter pass and no recharge functionality.

The linked thread includes a comparison [3] between the TP Card and a regular Suica.

Just FYI for anyone wondering about the photo, this is actually Google's office in King's Cross. "Campus London" was further east and looked more like a coworking space.


Out of curiosity, is there anywhere I can read about the practice of ending a letter with the recipient's name? I've only ever seen this in letters from 10 Downing Street and the Royal Household.


I am unaware of this practise, and can't really point to any specific resources. Btw, nice catch. At first, I didn't notice the letter ended with "Mr. Gareth Southgate OBE"

> "Emojis" looks wrong to me, but I suspect that's because I speak a little Japanese.

Yep, I prefer "emoji" given the zero plural in Japanese.

I don't think there's a consensus though. For example, Apple uses "emoji" [1], Emojipedia uses "emojis" [2], and the OED includes both [3].

> I don't think its a good idea to use Emojis in technical documentation, terminal cli apps, package managers (I'm looking at you npm), long form articles, PRs and code reviews, etc.

Completely agree. I also find emoji in commit messages [1] to be far more ambiguous than their text equivalents.
