This is also standard common curtesy on Japanese highways. The biggest part is drivers behind the original signaler will turn on their hazards to communicate backwards in the chain. Thus everyone can anticipate the slow down before the slow

In my experience the issue arises not because managers are treating the position as a privilege. Rather the opposite. A regular person one day becomes a manager. They feel the same today as the day before. They feel the new power is fake, o

The key word is aluminum. In this case ammonium phosphate. China has strong electric subsidies. Both in cash, and in allowing a high coal dependency. This means China has some of the lowest electricity rates in the world. Aluminum productio

I was replying to a comment which suggested the investor should be punished for not offering their invention for free. The poster wanted to punish inventors for inventing. If that isn't a perverse incentive I don't know what is.

To further agree: in 1990 Japan's GDP per capita was about 40K USD at a time while the US's was a "mere" 22k. That 40k was a fake, not true in the sense japan was not actually 2x more productive than the US. Instead it w

Again, role playing as me standing in the store trying to decide between these two Oaty miks I would either assume Oatly was a generic term for oat milk, or that the flavored version had a recent package redesign. Keep in mind the designs c

Wow that is indeed horrible. In Japan anything under 3k USD (30万円）would be discounted instantly and thus not count towards the capital tax. Furthermore there is a 15K USD （１５０万円）cliff below which no capital is levied but reporting is still

Semi-Off-Topic but related to Opex vs Capex: One of the weird aspects of Japanese tax law is the Capital Assets tax. Every year your local city taxes any capital goods at 1.5%. What is a capital good? Anything which takes multiple years to

This is super true, yet sadly much of the Japanese mobile gaming industry is paying through the nose for cloud hosting. There just is not a culture of optimizing the cost structure.
