Robot Hand Beats You at Rock, Paper, Scissors 100% Of The Time
It only takes a single millisecond for the robot to recognize what shape your hand is in, and just a few more for it to make the shape that beats you, but it all happens so fast that it’s more or less impossible to tell that the robot is waiting until you commit yourself before it makes its move, allowing it to win 100% of the time. You might be thinking that you could fool the system by changing your mind halfway through, but my guess is that the hand and vision system are faster than your reflexes could ever be, and that it would be trivial for the robot to adapt to any creative moves that happens on the human end.

Loneliness becoming 'norm' in Japan
Hitori Shabu-Shabu in Tokyo
According to NLI Research Institute living alone will be the norm in Japan by 2020.
“People are becoming more isolated. They used to live in friendly communities where neighbours would help them.
“Now people want to protect their privacy, so people in these communities have never even met their neighbours. They don’t know if they live alone or it’s a couple or a family.
“So sometimes people die alone without anyone noticing.”

Plans for a new 山手線 station between 品川駅 and 田町駅. Apparently they think this is a good idea due to the area’s proximity to 羽田空港, among other things.
