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:

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?
