3 Billion Yen Roadside Station

  I read a news that  Roadside Station which costs 3 billion will be built.  They are planning to construct a “Roadside Station” on an area of approximately 4.3 hectares, or about the size of the Tokyo Dome. The roadside station is scheduled to open in 2028. It is planned to have a farm products direct sales shop, a food court, and other facilities.  The total project cost is 3 billion yen. However,  some citizens oppose this plan. There are those who object that the budget would be better spent on other things.

 I often hear that roadside stations are popular these days. I thought it was a good idea because it will lead to the revitalization of the region. However, the management of roadside stations is difficult and often fails. I heard that the key to success is people and goods, and I am wondering how this plan will be carried out in the future.

    I think the construction of roadside stations is very good in terms of promotion. However, considering the budget, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to make it.

    I thought it was a very exciting project since I heard that roadside stations and parking areas are very popular these days.

    I think this idea is very good because if Roadside Station are constructed, citizens will be able to make their advantages known for people who don't know. Therefore, I hope to success this idea.

Open AI, Abandoned Conversion to a For-Profit Company

イメージ
   I saw a news that Open AI has decided against converting to a for-profit company. Open AI was founded in 2015 as a non-profit organization, operating Chat GPT.  AI development requires a huge amount of money and in 2019 they established a for-profit subsidiary. In December 2024, Open AI announced that it would remove the for-profit company from NPO. However,  Elon Musk was opposed to the idea, saying it neglected safety and public interest.  From this, I would like to know the clear reasons for abandoning commercialization. I hope the development of AI would be done with safety and public interest in mind, as AI technology can be abused.  　　　　　　　　 https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/a30d10b3bb48f86e625cd34860d8421fb480f8d1

Gasoline Prices Down, but will Go Up Next Week?

イメージ
 Regular gasoline prices were 171.2 yen, down 1 yen from the previous week. This is the eight consecutive week of price declines. However, prices expected to rise next week due to tensions in the Middle East.   According to the Petroleum Information Center, the reason for the drop in gasoline prices is government subsidies to keep gasoline prices down starting in May. The Israeli attack on Iran caused international crude oil futures prices to rise by more than 10% at one point. The Petroleum Information Center states, "While government subsidies have reached the ceiling of 10 yen, retail gasoline prices are also expected to rise next week as wholesale prices to gas stations are expected to rise".  From this,  as I walked by the gas station, I felt recently that the price had finally gotten cheaper, but I knew it would be financially difficult if it would go up again. I am wondering how much it will go up.    Authority: NHK Reference NHK. (2025, June 18...

Growing Rice without Water

イメージ
 This time I read an article about growing rice without water. This method is more efficient than the previous one and allows production on a large scale with fewer people. Furthermore, this method has reduced their working hours. With the number of famers expected to decrease on the future, this may be good solution.  Furthermore, in the past, there have been methods of producing rice by directly sowing seeds in dry rice paddies, but the problem was unstable growth due to lack of nutrients. The key to this was a liquid fertilizer using beer yeast. By using this, they absorb more nutrients and grow more actively. Although the yield was lower than in the watered fields, there was no problem with the quality. This led me to believe that the spread of this method would bring us closer to solving the problem of the decreasing number of farmers. I thought that new methods could be create by combining old knowledge with current technology.             ...
