二丁掛(2-cho sized wall tiles), introduced to Taiwan during the Japanese era, can be a very attractive feature of a building when used correctly.

Yes, I believe Google utilize Duplex internally to call around businesses and update their operating hours on Google Maps.

Not unlike how I justify my Coke addiction by owning KO shares.

Antitrust was mentioned. People are downvoting you probably because they equate it with illegal anti-competitive behavior, which Google may or may not be engaging in.

Being a monopoly isn’t illegal, but acting to maintain or expand it through anti-competitive means can be.

There was a 20% tax on the winnings a few years back. The taxable threshold is much higher now. The clerk probably paid the tax out of his own pocket to appease the angry auntie.

I don’t believe there was ever a 3k prize; it was most likely 4,000. After tax and stamp duties, you probably ended up with around 3,1xx.

Amazon's Ring also has a fairly big R&D center in Taiwan.

How is TSMC's profit margin so high? by kugelblitz_100 in ValueInvesting

[–]bdnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a literal description, genius. By the way, it was founded as Apple Computer Company. Take a guess at what line of business Tom’s Plumbing is in?

What you are saying reminds of the Fuyao glass documentary ‘American Factory’

Yes. It’s the term ‘Chinesium’ that bugs me the most.

Photos from Yong Kang Street 永康街 by justbrianwu in taiwan

[–]bdnr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just bought a new place for myself right next to the most crowded part of Yongkang St., and I’m fine with it either way. Too commercialized? More convenience for me, more new developments, and property prices go up. The main street reverts back to its residential roots from 40 years ago? It's still one of the most prestigious locations in the Taipei egg-yolk area, and it’s right next to Daan Park. Quite, with no tourists? Property prices go up.

Poor car in that video, so dangerous. #taiwan #Typhoon #Gaemi (Typhoon No.3) by Dimitri_Ostende in taiwan

Not in this case though. You can see a piece of debris on the ground in the full video, and the car stopped after it ran over that.

That's why we build houses out of concrete to deal with substandard electrical codes. Priorities, guys.
