The 2016 U.S.-Japan Security Seminar, a significant event in the realm of geopolitics and foreign policy, took place on March 4, 2016, focusing on key themes in U.S.-Japan relations. Organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), this seminar served as a premier forum for intellectual exchange among experts, policymakers, and scholars. The event highlighted the evolving challenges to U.S. global leadership and the critical role of Japan in shaping the future of global governance.

The CSIS Japan Chair, a program dedicated to providing analytic insight and policy-relevant research on Japan, the U.S.-Japan alliance, and Japan's global leadership, played a central role in organizing the seminar. The mission of the CSIS Japan Chair is to be the leading source of such research, ensuring that policymakers have access to comprehensive analysis and expert opinions.

One of the notable highlights of the seminar was an interview conducted by Michael J. Green, a distinguished CSIS senior fellow, with Yoshiji Nogami, the President of the Japan Institute for International Affairs (JIIA). This interview provided a unique opportunity for both parties to discuss the current state of U.S.-Japan relations and the future direction of the alliance. The conversation covered a range of topics, including defense and security, reflecting the seminar's focus on these critical areas.

The seminar also showcased the work of the CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department, which examines key political, economic, security, and societal trends shaping the future of global governance and institutions. With deep regional expertise and strong global relationships across various regions, including Africa, the Americas, Europe, Eurasia, Russia, the Indo-Pacific, and the Middle East, the department's experts offer comprehensive analysis to guide policymakers in navigating the complex challenges they face.

The event took place on March 4, 2016, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, providing a concentrated yet impactful platform for discussion and analysis. The seminar's timing coincided with a period of significant geopolitical shifts, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, where both the U.S. and Japan were navigating the complexities of their alliance and their roles in the evolving global order.

In conclusion, the 2016 U.S.-Japan Security Seminar was a pivotal event that brought together experts and policymakers to engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of U.S.-Japan relations. Through the insights and analysis provided by the CSIS Japan Chair and the CSIS Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department, the seminar offered a critical examination of the alliance's role in addressing global challenges and shaping the future of global governance. The event underscored the importance of continued intellectual exchange and collaboration between the U.S. and Japan in the face of evolving geopolitical landscapes.

A simple way to get more value from metrics

We spent one day 1 building a system that immediately found a mid 7 figure optimization (which ended up shipping). In the first year, we shipped mid 8 figures per year worth of cost savings as a result. The key feature this system introduces is the ability to query metrics data across all hosts and all services and over any period of time (since inception), so we've called it LongTermMetrics (LTM) internally since I like boring, descriptive, names. This got started when I was looking for a starter project that would both help me understand the Twitter infra stack and also have some easily quantifiable value. Andy Wilcox suggested looking at JVM survivor space utilization for some large services. If you're not familiar with what survivor space is, you can think of it as a configurable, fixed-size buffer, in the JVM (at least if you use the GC algorithm that's default at Twitter). At the time, if you looked at a random large services, you'd usually find that either: The buffer was too small, resulting in poor performance, sometimes catastrophically poor when under high load. The buffer was too large, resulting in wasted memory, i.e., wasted money. But instead of looking at random services, there's no fundamental reason that we shouldn't be able to query all services and get a list of which services have room for improvement in their configuration, sorted by performance degradation or cost savings. And if we write that query for JVM survivor space, this also

Context Engineering for Coding Agents

The number of options we have to configure and enrich a coding agent’s context has exploded over the past few months. Claude Code is leading the charge with innovations in this space, but other coding assistants are quickly following suit. Powerful context engineering is becoming a huge part of the developer experience of these tools. Birgitta Böckeler explains the current state of context configuration features, using Claude Code as an example. more…

What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane?

Does feeding less protein to cows over a longer period not only reduce nitrogen losses, but also affect methane emissions? Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) investigated this in a multi-year study with dairy cows, funded by the Vereniging Diervoederonderzoek Nederland (VDN), the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN), and […] The post What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane? appeared first on Agriland.ie .
