It is super common in Japan for domestic hot water heating. It was pioneered by the government of Japan, electronic goods firms, and the power companies. You'll see them sold under the EcoCute name. Daikin, Panasonic, and Corona (no re

You've hit the nail on the head. Small business valuation is hard and surprising. Almost by definition a small business has not been systematized and abstracted. The owner is vital to the operations. This is in strong contrast with med

That might back fire. If Elon's focus shifts back to Tesla you might find yourself driving down the highway one day and your cars asks: "Do you promise to commit yourself to Tesla? Yes No?" Hurry; there is a parked white semi

Apple charges 30%! That's an even bigger scam for a typical app store user than the bink single camera upcharge. At least with Bink you get a service for that. With Apple you still need to pay the remaining 70% for the apps themselves.

That figure includes the social security fund which is not included in the japanese figure. The social security fund is a liability, while the bank of Japan is fully a government asset.

Widow trade is the opposite. OP is saying sell non yen to buy yen. Widow trade is to short japanese government bonds. That in fact has nothing direct to do with forex. The widow trade is a bet that interest rates will be risen.

Bank of Japan owns over half that debt. Take out that debt and Japan's debt to GDP ratio falls below the US's. Now factor in how Bank of Japan's active surppresion of interest rates occurs by buying debt. If Bank of Japan kee

What I find most interesting is how this plays into Warren Buffet's complaints about the American trade deficit: America has been selling long term assets to buy short term toys. In Warren Buffet's explanation he uses selling farm

Tokyo's building codes do require bathrooms. Plus minimum sunshine for a room to count as a bedroom, along with shutters on all windows. What caught my eye about your comment is central heating. Japan in fact penalizes central heating.

The PS5 is indeed good value; until you buy 8. The 4090 clocks in at an incredible 80tflops. Compared to the 10tflops of the PS5's GPU. Now compare that to a Nintendo Switch at about 1tflop if we are being generous. Still I wish it was

Indeed, the Bank of Japan has been hoping for inflation like this for twenty years. They are not going to complain now that their wish has been granted. 3% is massive, in a good way. Japan's problem is the Americans have absurd inflati
