winyy Issue #64東京オリンピック2020が始まりましたね。アスリートには暑さが気の毒ですが、2週間楽しみたいと思います。今週はやはりJeff Bezosの宇宙旅行がトップニュースでしょう。Richard Bronsonとの一番乗り競争には負けましたが、成熟した技術であることをアピールできたと思います。記事としても取り上げましたが、同乗した18歳のオランダ人学生はAmazonで買い物をしたことがないとJeff Bezosに話したそうです。勇気ありますね。笑前号で一番クリックされた記事は、"Can AI predict labor market trends?" でした。今週号も気に入ってもらえたら、メールの末尾の「いいね！」ボタンをお願いします！拡散大歓迎。サインナップはこちら。Twitter ---> @winyy2020winyy Issue #64The Tokyo Olympics 2020 has started. I'm sorry about the heat for the athletes, but I'm looking forward to two weeks of fun.This week, Jeff Bezos' trip to space should be the top news, and although he lost the race to be the first to go to space with Richard Bronson, I think he was able to show Blue Origin's mature technology. As I picked up in the article, the 18 year old Dutch student on the flight told Jeff Bezos that he had never shopped at Amazon before. He's very brave. LO.It's been a while since I've been to Japan, so I'd like to observe things from the perspective of a "Boundary Spanner."The most read news last week was Can AI predict labor market trends?"Please press the 'Like it' button at the end of the email if you like this issue.Sign up page is here.
