@tehshigeki @sighyam I agree, and if the man is seen breaking the law then he should be arrested, not reprimanded.

@adrianhalimhere @sighyam Actually, opening a product before paying for it is considered a crime in Japan. Pointing this out is necessary to uphold the effectiveness of the law and maintain public order.

But let’s actually talk about the convenience store noodle system in Thailand vs Japan. Please no fighting.
In Thailand, if you want instant noodles, you pick one out, then go to the noodle station and pour hot water, and then pay. After that, you either sit down and eat or leave with your food.
Why is it convenient? In Thailand, the prep happens while you’re waiting anyway, so you’re overlapping tasks.
But in Japan, everything is sequential, so total time can be longer for the individual customer, even if the system itself is more controlled?
Thailand: pick > prepare > queue > pay > eat
Japan: pick > queue > pay > prepare > wait > eat
Both societies already operate on high interpersonal trust, so I’m confused why Japanese consumers follow corporate rules that don’t make sense? 7-11 rules don’t count as “culture or tradition” so that reasoning can’t be used lol
You also can’t blame foreigners, this system has been in place in Thailand for years, and Thailand is also a tourist hub yet everything works fine and saves consumers 1-3 minutes in waiting time per meal.

@id_def_report @O5Bravo Ada benarnya, volume LFP baru bisa mengalahkan NMC di 2026 karena tingkat penetrasi entry level EV, murahnya harga bahan baku, dan standarisasi manufaktur. Tapi NMC tetap diberikan sebagai alternatif karena kelebihan2 yg disebutkan diatas.
Indonesia
@adrianhalimhere @O5Bravo Mau lu bilang ga lebih baik kek apa kek. Kalo pabrikan maunya pake LFP karena lebih murah dan durabilitas tinggi lu mau apa?
Liat fakta di lapangan aja ga usah berteori, kebutuhan LFP faktanya jauh lebih tinggi dari NMC
Hence, relevansi nikel utk ev itu kecil. Fakta
Indonesia
Tampaknya serangan terhadap tambang nikel akan makin kencang karena nikel adalah bagian dari mata rantai industri EV, dan bisa membuat Indonesian punya kemandirian energi (mayoritas pembangkit listrik kita ditenagai batu bara yang diproduksi dalam negeri).
Tahu kan siapa yang bakal marah karena bisnis mereka selama puluhan tahun bakal terganggu?😆

I have never seen a transition to BEV close to this fast. Indonesia is on an entirely different level. Every time I add more recent data I think to myself "this can't go on this month, can it?", but it does go on. Indonesia has ~600k registrations per year, so they are even a decent size.

I don't get why they're still using these dumb normal rifles with one magazine. It's nothing in a war. A robodog has got no arms and will need human help to reload, exposing all parties to danger. You need idk, a belt-fed machine gun.

@id_def_report @O5Bravo LFP tidak "lebih baik" dari NMC karena beda segmen. NMC punya energy density lebih besar, thermal runway lbh bagus, dan lbh kuat adaptasi perbedaan suhu. Kuatnya LFP ada di instant energy fluctuation dan cycle life. Makanya NMC hanya dikhususkan utk premium dan permintaan buyer.

Kalian tau ga pas gua ke Jepang, apa yang ditanyain partner gua disana? “Kok bangun kereta cepat gajadi sama kita, malah sama China?” Mampus gimana jawabnya wkwkwk Mereka nambahin lagi itu cara pengecut. Istilahnya kalau samurai itu tebas dari belakang pake katana. Cara memalukan untuk membunuh seseorang di budaya Jepang. (kiru no wa ushiro kara) Dan gua juga baru tau, kalau kabar ini tuh sampe masuk berita nasional Jepang dan hampir semua warga Jepang tau mereka dighosting Indonesia buat bangun kereta cepat.

This policy only exposes how ignorant and ahistorical the Philippine government is on the history of the South China Sea. Perhaps the Philippine ought to take a history lesson about the Chinese fishermen's Sailing Route Logs? Here's a free online historical class of the Chinese people's fishing and trading activities in the South China Sea: en.huayangexhibition.com
Geng Lu Bu (更路簿, The Sailing Route Logs), is a collection of handwritten booklets compiled by Chinese fishermen over the course of several centuries as they voyaged to the South China Sea islands for fishing, transport, and other activities. These booklets recorded maritime routes in the South China Sea, the names of islands and reefs, ocean currents, and other navigational knowledge. In Shichuan Gengliu Bu (驶船更流簿, p2-4), the sea routes are recorded in individual entries, written vertically in neat small regular script with a brush. Each entry records the compass bearing and the number of “geng” between two locations.
p1: a visualized map based on the Geng Lu Bu.
p2-4: original text excerpt from Shichuan Gengliu Bu, a type of Geng Lu Bu.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered all of the more than 100 features in the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) in the West Philippine Sea to bear local names in government documents and official maps of the country. Under Executive Order (EO) No. 111 issued on March 26, President Marcos ordered the adoption of the standard set of Philippine names for the 131 features of the KIG, which is part of the Kalayaan municipality in Palawan province. EO 111 directs the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (Namria) to produce and publish updated charts and maps that reflect the local names. | @dexcabalzaINQ /PDI READ MORE: inqnews.net/LocalNamesKala…

Singapore was also poor, their work shoddy, their streets were dirty and messy
You could also call it culture then
Then they cleaned up, became high educated, installed air conditioning, became rich
I don't get this logic, you can't call everything that's stagnant "culture", it's not culture, it's failure
Sefton Hanley@seftonhanley
You know I am 100% on board with this post and TOTALLY agree that mindset and governance set the tone of how an economy grows and hence how a country feels. But culture lies under all this, its why middle income countries get trapped as they do, its not (entirely) the labor rate or the easy to measure metrics, its how on very broad averages, people work, how much they care, how detail oriented they are, how much 'honor' they place on a commitment. etc. I think it is declining generally in Europe which is why its felt acutely.

Typical panican thinking from someone who doesn't understand how this war is going to permanently neuter China while saving South Korea from the grave danger that Iran and its proxies were posing to its security and economy.

@AngelicaOung I remember when Ma was accused as Mainlander spy..

KMTea
So you guys know how there is definitely civil war going on within the KMT now between the establishment Pro-American faction and and the upstart Chairwoman Cheng faction? Well…the rabbit hole goes a lot deeper. DO NOT keep reading if you don’t want tea! If you want the tea? Auntie Angelica is gonna fill your whole cup. 🫖 🍵 🍵
In late Feb long-time President Ma confidant barged into the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation waving a letter of authorization from ex-President Ma. The letter demands the resignation of of Foundation Chairman Hsiao Hsu-tsen. There was a physical altercation where then-chairman Hsiao was physically ejected from the building by King.
Hsiao was publicly accused of "severe lapses in fiduciary discipline", with leaks to the media suggesting he had “unauthorized and improper” dealings in China while using the foundation name.
KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun leaped to Hsiao’s defense. Hsiao had a reputation for being a long-time Ma loyalist and his long experience dealing with China as Ma’s guy is invaluable in her own efforts in advancing cross straits relations.
“If we cut off our colleagues when anyone spills dirty water on them, who would dare to do things for the KMT?” Asked Cheng. It would deeply wound her to lose Hsiao, her deputy chairman.
This event split the KMT in two: the Ma-King faction and the Hsiao-Cheng faction. And would you look at that…it lines up roughly with the pro-America faction vs the pro-China faction.
King wasn’t nicknamed “Little Knife King” for nothing. And a lot of ppl think Hsiao got shivved. Ma is older, have not made many public appearances of late and some say is cognitively compromised. Is King coming out of retirement to help his old friend clean house? Or taking advantage of his old connections to snipe Cheng’s chances by attacking her right hand?
This could be a disaster not just for Hsiao but the whole KMT. If Ma escalates the charges against Hsiao with the prosecution that could be cause for the prosecution getting unfettered access to a lot of Ma foundation and even KMT documents. The prosecutors would have a field day. They might even find something that will finally allow them to put Ma himself behind bars. Recall that most of Ma’s post-presidency was embroiled in a “judicial marathon” that ultimately saw him cleared of all charges.
Why would he want to reopen Pandora’s box? Or does he even know what he’s doing?

General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do.
He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies.
He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for.
He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong.
He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy.
He said: they don't value life.
This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise.
The army cannot update its model.
It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are."
So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency.
They keep fighting because life is cheap to them.
Not because their cause is just.
Not because they are brave.
Because they are less than us.
Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory.
He lost.
The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free.
Westmoreland died in 2005.
The people he could not understand are still here.
So is the theory.

Ya harap dimaklumi, apabila Indonesia menerima investasi dari China maka akan dicurigai oleh rakyat sendiri karena terkesan memihak ke blok tertentu. Ada beberapa golongan di Twitter sini yg masih berharap2 menunggu investasi dari Amerika Serikat, sejak 20 tahun lalu lamanya.

Rupiah melemah 24% terhadap Ringgit dalam 10 tahun. Lucunya, 23%-nya terjadi hanya dalam 15 bulan terakhir. 1 Ringgit: • Maret 2015: ~3,500 Rupiah. • Maret 2024: ~3,300 Rupiah. • Maret 2026: ~4,300 Rupiah. Return IHSG 15 bulan terakhir: • Dalam Rupiah 1.8%. • Dalam USD -3%. • Dalam Ringgit -13.6%. Orang Malaysia bisa beat IHSG 13.6% 1 tahun terakhir cukup dengan taro aset mereka di cash (Ringgit). Apa yang berubah dalam 2 tahun terakhir? Malaysia berhasil capture 2 MEGATREND sekaligus: AI supply chain dan supply chain diversification dari China. Penang jadi ASEAN's Silicon Valley. AMD, Intel, AI data centers masuk. FDI masuk, convert ke Ringgit, demand struktural tercipta. GDP akselerasi +5.2% YoY. Ini bukan soal global. Ini soal siapa yang punya narrative reform, dan siapa yang belum. Rupiah melemah bukan karena global. Faktanya Rupiah melemah terhadap USD, bahkan ketika DXY melemah. Satu selat jaraknya. Tapi jarak narrativenya makin lebar setiap bulan. Sampai Indonesia deliver narrative reform yang comparable, atau lebih baik, divergence ini belum ada alasan struktural untuk berbalik. Happy Sunday!
