But why should the fairest price be equal to exactly 12 months of earnings? Why not 1 month, or 100 months?

Is there something special about the length of Earth's orbit that makes it the correct ratio for converting flows to values? If a business were incorporated on Mars, would the fair price be one Earth year of earnings, or one Mars year of earnings? (The latter price would be 88% higher.)

Thanks, I missed that 将 was shinjitai. I wonder what caused the weird mixture of glyphs in that example image.

Can you clarify which characters you're talking about? I don't see any examples of Japanese-specific kanji in the simplified Chinese examples.

For example, the first image uses 沟 and 时 forms that are found only in simplified Chinese. In both Japanese and traditional Chinese, these are written 溝 and 時.

The images also correctly use the Chinese forms of 統/统. The Japanese form [0] differs from both and does not appear in these images.

请 as shown in the image is similarly used only in simplified Chinese, not Japanese. In Japanese, the traditional Chinese form is normally used in handwriting, and an alternate form of the 訁 radical (different from either of the Chinese forms) is often used in printed text.

The comment above is about non-rechargable lithium-metal batteries. You are thinking of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

So first you say it has always cost this much, but in the next breath you say that its cost has outpaced a high rate of inflation. Mathematically, these can't both be true.

We're commenting on an article about IEEE 754 floating point values. Following the IEEE 754 standard, we have:

    >> isNaN(Infinity)
    false
    >> Infinity == Infinity
    true
    >> Infinity / Infinity == 1
    false

    >> isNaN(0)
    false
    >> 0 == 0
    true
    >> 0 / 0 == 1
    false

Also, you say NaN ("not a number") is "defined as a number" but Infinity is not. I would think every IEEE 754 value is either "a number" or "not a number". But apparently you believe NaN is both and Infinity is neither?

And you say 0 / 0 is "undefined" but the standard requires it to be NaN, which you say is "defined".

> two equal numbers divided by themselves equal 1

That's not true. For example: 0 == 0, but 0/0 != 1.

(See also +Infinity, -Infinity, and -0.)
