This seems to say the opposite. If your employer grants you a statutory stock option, you generally don't include any amount in your gross income when you receive or exercise the option

Sundar's stock is not in the form of options, so this explanation is irrelevant.

The IRS page refers to Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) as "statutory" options. These are the "holy grail" because they allow you to avoid income tax at exercise and only pay capital gains when you sell.

ISOs have a 100k cap per year.

Further, the next line after your exceprt is "However, you may be subject to alternative minimum tax in the year you exercise an ISO", which is an income tax

In Japan and in many East Asian cultures, debate is behind closed doors. And it would have taken months. Meetings are for ceremony.

> In Japan and in many East Asian cultures, debate is behind closed doors.

East Asia consists of only 4 countries, two of them (China and Taiwan) sharing the bulk of their main language.

In the other 3 East Asian countries, meetings being for ceremony isn't nearly as pronounced as in Japan. Plenty of meetings where discussion are had and new decisions are made.

This is a masterpiece. I have seen similar slides in many consultants' decks over the years.

The mezzanine is the drink with the worm in it; after you get "mezzed", you feel like the worm is eating you from the inside.

No, that’s mescaline (Spanish for tequila).

It was my attempt at a joke.

This is also what I learned the hard way. In many situations the customer doesn’t say what they really want. There are a lot of reasons why. I usually have to write down a lot of hypotheticals. If X is the primary concern, we should do Y. If U is the issue, we should do V.

I wouldn't expect customers to say what they really want. They are looking for faster horses after all. But law professors? Among all professors, law professors should be the ones saying what they really want.

Meh. The nerd in me prefers the French Revolutionary clock of 10 hours in a day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time.

I want to be able to say I sleep from 0 to 3 hours or 30 percent of the day.
