Whenever I buy something with a zipper I check that it’s YKK first.
If it isn’t, I know there’s a good chance they’re cheaping out on other places as well.

I just checked when I started using VWO, and found a really nice exchange between you and me from Fri, Dec 11, 2009.
VWO is still the absolute best split testing tool out there. You deserve all the success.

Kintama was the first thing I thought of when looking at it though. "Goose balls"?
The small house on my land has decreased to the point where I pay less than $100 a year in taxes on it.
The land that it's on has increased by around 30x in the last 50 years.
Next town over they bought an old local supermarket (again, with huge amounts of floor space)
My wife and kids have their Netflix UI set to Japanese, which allows them to access Japanese language and subtitles for movies that support it, even though they're not available on my English-language Netflix.
In bigger cities, you'll definitely be able to find doctors who can speak English easily.
Even without insurance all our procedures cost total less than ~$100 apiece.
The most expensive thing I've ever had in japan was my full body workup last year for $500.
It included: stomach ultrasound, 5 blood tests, eye exam, MRI(brain) and barium scan. All without insurance.
By comparison, in the US I was charged $1200 to get my daughters arm cast changed (no xray, just a nurse changing the cast), and $800 for an ultrasound.
It is literally cheaper to fly to Japan and get treatment without insurance than to use my health insurance that I pay $1300/month for.
Also, as a bonus, because of the set prices of medical procedures in Japan, insurance is super cheap. For a family of 4 it was costing me around $500/month when I used to live here.
Generally when I'm building a UI on top of bootstrap, I import all the LESS files into my project, and then compile them together with my project LESS files.
This lets me, for example, change the brand-primary color, or the base font size, etc, without having to override every component that might use that variable.
However, this UI Kit, as well as a number of other kits I've seen take in the pre-compiled Bootstrap CSS and override each item individually.
Is this the preferred way to do UI Kits? If so, what's the reasoning behind it? We build a lot of themes and UIKits for internal use, and would love to know if we're doing it wrong (tm).
Also, as an aside, their option box is a word-for-word copy of Neil patel's. "from aha to oh shi*t..."
The idea was similar to this one -- set up solar and wind generators in the Gobi desert, and transmit the energy through a superconductor network to Japan, Russia and other countries. The Superconductor system (I believe) could transmit energy at nearly 99% efficiency,
We got to see the 200m superconductor track at Chubu University, which was amazingly cool.

I've gotten blocked from a couple of sites I was managing because I was in Japan.
And she goes to public magnet school.
While it's great that they are pushing forward to say that programming is important, I have little confidence that they'll be able to make it a reality.
That being said, there are a number of words that are NEVER appropriate out of starting a fight. Probably not as many as English, but I can think of about 20 or so off the top of my head.
Living here is fairly cheap as well -- especially if you're outside large cities.
Casual Racism is probably the biggest hurdle to living in Japan, especially outside of big cities. I've only had a handful of overt racism in the last 12 years, but there are constant reminders every day that you are not, in fact, Japanese. And it's not done through malice, but rather just pure curiosity.
I'm hoping that immigration policies get better in the future, but not holding my breath.
Unfortunately, I found a few issues: http://imgur.com/vZbheUP
1) The Zip-Code lookup is GREAT, except it looks up the town name, not the 都道府県 (prefecture) like it should.
2) The prefecture is in english, not Japanese
3) The Country names are also in english, not Japanese
4) Was hoping to see auto-kana support for Japanese names: https://github.com/harisenbon/autokana ;)
Overall, looks amazing, and awesome that you're getting ready for a full launch in Japan.

One experience I had with my Osakan clients always stood out to me -- I've met multiple businessmen who say they won't make a deal with a vendor they haven't gone drinking with, because the alcohol shows what kind of person they really are.
> If this doesn't sound crazy enough, there are a lot of carbon monoxide related deaths every winter in Japan because many people (especially elderly people) use an ancient heating system called /kotatsu/, where they burn coal under a small table that's covered with a blanket.
Umm.. Kotatsu do not produce Carbon Monoxide. They're usually electric, and you're the first foreigner I've ever seen who has complained about them. (I love them, my wife hates them because once inside, I never leave)
Carbon monoxide poisoning usually comes from eldery in older house where they use kerosene heaters (touyu) for heating. Almost all kerosene heaters have a 3-hour timer though, so it is a little safer than you make out.
