The government gives out a lot of grants to startups, but largely in the range of $10k-$100k USD. Beyond that, there aren't many angels, and VC is dominated by highly conservative corporates. It's an incredibly tough fundraising environment.
Uber operates through a local JV with Tmap called UT. Taxi drivers typically sign up for both Kakao T and UT, except when exclusively branded. (Kakao T and Uber both operate branded taxis.)
Uber has operated in Korea for the past couple years through a local JV with Tmap called UT. It's the next most popular taxi hailing service after Kakao T.
Having worked long-term in South Korea, which has a corporate culture very similar to Japan, I'd have to agree with 6t6t6t6. The more "information" you can fit on something, the better. This is taken to the extreme with powerpoint presentations.
Android took a big step in this direction in Oreo, with a built-in central manager of the permission and notification settings of every app on the system :)

17:11 KST Major service outage.
We've been seeing this for exactly five hours now, all across East Asia.
Edit: Looks like .io is managed in London, and their customer service off hours match the downtime.
FYI Opera and related browsers may "just work".
Not the developer, but I've made extensions – there is a sandbox in the form of CSP, but if an external server is included in the policy, there are no restrictions.
Great concept! These days I just block sites in my hosts file, but I also developed a Chrome extension based on the concept of "regulated distraction", Morphine:

Also open source on GitHub:
Fair enough! Few specific issues:
- Can't add pictures to the hall of fame after the fact.
- Can't remove pictures from the hall of fame.
- Re-uploading a ribbon picture doesn't work.
Love how fast this is! Wish it could actually offer advice. Seems heavily biased towards portraits with shallow depths of fields.
PhantomJS: Extremely popular (10k+ stars!) with a comparative trickle of commits. The major flaws might be excusable, but the number of small issues and unmerged pull requests is not.
phantomjs-node: Popular but badly structured and documented. Many small ignored issues.
There's a big pause button at the very top right of the stream. Once paused, scrolling works great. How is that at all unusable?
Presumably Windows' fault, since it has awful font rendering systemwide. Looks fine in Chrome 20 on Lion.
Yeah, it does make me wonder some about the ethicalness. Back in 10k Apart 2010, one of the top 3 apps compressed nearly their entire app into a .png and then eval()'d the result... Which ended up being pretty innovative I suppose, as they wrote the compressor and bootstrap themselves.
Then again, Closure Compiler is accepted even though the advanced mode may rewrite some of your code. And the crushers are available to everyone free of charge, so...
I posted a writeup on the creation process here: https://plus.google.com/114368870393867455297/posts/W1xiWydN...
You remember correctly! If you don't mind me asking, who were you with? I (their 15 year old intern) was there from August-November and got to know the place pretty well :)
It really just depends on the context: In a web app (the example in the essay) or Chrome extension, traditional navigation mostly falls away, leaving something almost entirely controlled by JavaScript. Buttons and links have two distinct styles and places to be used, but in a web app they usually functionally do the same thing. In Bootstrap, the issue was how to make links that look like buttons also behave like buttons, which all the issues still apply to.
Once someone brought up the keyboard issue in my pull request, I researched for a while, and then made the post once I angrily realized the full extent of the problem.
If you need an example app that uses both buttons and links, here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mghenlmbmjcpehccoa...
I think in situations where you want to use a "button" (in the functionality sense) that looks like a link, you probably won't need to disable it—the two styles don't really mix for the most part, though I'm sure I've seen it done somewhere.
I know what e.preventDefault() is and when and how to use it, just simply didn't think of it when trying to find solutions. It was promptly pointed out in the G+ comments, but there are still major drawbacks to that approach.
Either way, it was well past the asking Bootstrap to add this phase by the time I wrote the post.
>what's with all the hate for href="#"? Um, there was a section of my post explaining everything wrong with it, which was also further discussed in the G+ comments.
Of course I understand why keyboard accessibility (a benefit of href="#") is a good thing, that was a main point in the post: There's no solution for adding "buttons" (in the functionality sense) that look like standard links without major drawbacks, like a lack of keyboard control.
Great point, I hadn't thought of that. Buttons are so finicky :(
On a related note, I wonder how screenreaders handle buttons? I'm guessing/hope they read the labels, but if they don't...
