In Japan, a bicycle with no functional pedals is called: a broken bicycle. A bike with a motor which propels itself is called: a motor bike. Japan has had bicycles with electric assist motors for 10+ years. They are popular with moms who ne

Have you noticed how Loop scooters in Japan have a tiny license plate? That's because they require a license to rent and operate. That's because they are a self powered mobile vehicle. An automobile if you will. Automobiles in Jap

You'd need functional pedals, and for the electric push to be equal or lower than the human motive power.

My guess it's the perfect HN bait. Starts with a meaningful factoid. Makes grand unhinged claims. Then starts rambling about everything under the sun. If you had a preconceived topic you care about: this blog post gives you every imagi

Exit velocity is the nozzle exit speed. The water exists the nozzle and hits the turbine. With that said, turbine efficiency is not strictly based on resistance. Rather it is about extraction of energy. In a few designs it looks like resist

If you pump up the hill, say to 3000PSI, then waste pressure on the way down: you lose said wasted energy. Pumped Hydrogen Storage requires maintaining full pressure across the entire pipe. Which should be reasonable: the "fill up&quo

Up north in Canada instead of having a single SEC each province has its own securities regulation. Which let's the Texas of Canada, Alberta, run it's own stock exchange with much looser listing requirements and security requiremen

Daikin has a range which pulls air from the outside. I'm using it in the room I am in now. Here in Sendai the nights are cold enough that my house is coasting still. Thus the mini split is acting only as a fan and pulling in fresh air.

Unreal's highlevel of packaing and managing assets for years meant modding was locked off. Unity games often shipped on PC with loose files and hacking C# broke after each update but at least was an option. Over time the modding commun

South Korea, Japan, China say hello. Much of the world by population and gdp is a ship ride away from their major energy suppliers. Japan imports about half their LNG from Australia. Next largest is Qatar. There are no power lines between A

You're confused, negative prices are not driven by techincal limitations. Solar, and especially hydro, and even nuclear can shut down just fine. Solar and Wind instead drive prices negative because they have subsidized contracts. Each

That is super true, and not super common knowledge in Japan. The gasoline subsidy was aging out late last year and news started covering the mysterious persistent increase in gasoline prices. You'd think kishida-san would want more cre

Did you move here three years ago? 2020-2021 was the heart of COVID deflation. I remember paying 110yen per litre for gasoline at Costco. Nic Hotels were 1万 a night for our family of three. Any anchoring off late 2020 is super misleading. M

Indeed, it also normalized walking out of a store bagless while holding your purchase. I like it. I don't like when I ask for no bag, and the combini charges for one anyway. With that said, Japan never had a litter problem. Likewise ou

As of this year, and limited to three models exclusive to Japan: yes this happens. The new 2023 model year Serena from Nissan uses a generator optimized engine in a series hybrid setup. The engine runs at a fixed rpm (except in extreme situ

IMHO, the "The" and "How" handling were smart decisions back during the digg era. Over time those features of clickbait have become defocused. Removing The and How handling might make sense now.

Uh, first part of the bath tub curve is driven by manufacturing defects... That's not a counter point at all.

Japan has a bunch of solid long running studios. Earlier in my career I worked with a game director who had done "major arcade franchise which is now a console franchise". He had the same employer and similar co workers since the

Not sure where Railgrade fall there, might not be abstracted enough for the puzzle section. Maybe the route management section?

Not a drop of sarcasm. Perhaps you should question why you mistook wisdom for comedy?

The question was not "why is the sky blue", but "why is the sky a different shade of blue". Every day the sky will be slightly different. There exists a reason why, and given effort you could identify the differences and

Ah you went there eh. Yeah an alternative form on my reply would have been to point out that kids are the ones who question everything. Adults learn to identify the questions which will expand knowledge, and ask those.

Questioning everything also gets you stuck in bed asking why the sky is a different shade of blue. Others might have accepted the unknown and ate breakfast.

I think you'll be surprised how economical DVDs can be bought for. Also why limit to 1 year's budget? The magic of owning assets over renting is you keep them. If you spend 100$ a year on DVDs you'll fill up a shelf in short

We bought a DVD player and a couple high quality DVDs. Seemed rather silly to pay for a year of nothing just to watch reruns. Kids are happy, and now we get to show them higher quality shows.
