WIRED Documentary on Shenzhen

WIRED is now running a multi-part video documentary on Shenzhen:

This shoot was a lot of fun, and it was a great pleasure working with Posy and Jim. I think their talent as producer and director really show through. They also did a great job editing my off-the-cuff narratives. The spot in the video where I’m pointing out Samsung parts isn’t matched to the b-roll of Apple parts, but in their defense I was moving so fast through the market that Jim couldn’t capture all the things I was pointing at.

I haven’t seen the whole documentary myself (I was just called in to give some tours of the market and answer a few questions in my hotel room), so I’m curious and excited to see where this is going! Especially because of the text chosen for printing during my Moore’s Law explanation at 3:13 — “ALL PROPRIETARY AND NO OPEN SOURCE MAKES INNOVATION A SLOW PROCESS.”

    一時はCMで大流行した無人契約機を用いて、というお手軽な方法だってよく使われています。無人機を相手に自分で新規申込みを行うので、全く誰にもばれずに、急な出費があったときなどに借入申込をこっそりとすることができるので心配はありません。
    いわゆる金融関連の情報が検索できるHPを上手に活用すれば、迅速な即日融資ができる消費者金融業者(いわゆるサラリーマン金融)を、自宅のスマホから検索することも融資を申し込むことも問題ないのです。
    銀行の借入は、通常のキャッシングよりも年利が安いという利点があります。審査時の基準で、しっかり毎月の収入のある人のみが借り入れをすることが可能ですがパートタイマーや派遣社員の方もキャッシングができるようです。
