Is this one purely for demonstration purposes? In practice I think I'd want it to be flush with the floor. As shown in the video it looks like a massive tripping hazard.
Concrete stairwells are supposed to double as refuges, if you can't climb.
Also devices that allow easier access to an apartment are more acceptable in Japan. In the US there is a much greater need for security oriented design.
If you believe what you see on television shows set in New York, fire escapes - ladders from balconies down to the ground - are common in New York. Which would make it unnecessary to explain why they aren't used.
One of the Daikin models for Japan apartments/condos (known as mansions) has a tankless humidifier; it is able to condensate humidity from outdoor air and introduce it into the home. On a cold winter day it is able to raise the relative humidity from around 30% to about 45% or so. うるるとさらら is the name of their series of things that humidify.
Can the git repo that the terraform config lives inside of serve as state? For example, one commit ago this part of config was there and now it’s gone, showing temporal intent that it should be deleted in real life as well?
I've played with your idea, hoping to easily demolish it. It is not bullet-proof at all, but I declare it brilliant. It uses simple tools and it does work around the cloud's inability to efficiently query all possible types of resources in existence.
I live in Japan but prefer to read in English. However it seems your iPhone app is not available in Japan? Any plans to also provide your service inside Japan as well?
Unfortunately publishers are not providing the the rights for content to be released in Japan through foreign services like Azuki. If we can make it work, we will.
Japan's banks have a similar system, based on half-width katakana. Fortunately most banks can fetch the name from each other, but sometimes transfers fail due to issues similar to those found in this article.
They're fun, too, in that the ultimate authority for setting the recipient name is on the sender but the ultimate authority for accepting a transfer is the bank of the recipient, which can result in that failure-to-sync causing someone to input a name which cannot be reconciled with the account's owner. (This is particularly common in consumer-to-business payments because even with great attention to detail if you're not doing this frequently the error rate will be a few percent.)
The pull system works in a different but similar fashion, and will (notably) fail if the information submitted with an incremental pull fails to match the name which was handwritten onto the document which sets up the pull (which is circulated at both financial institutions). A gym once received, and I was (in the literal sense) CCed, an icily polite letter from my local bank saying that the bank had no knowledge of a Mr. (close misspelling of McKenzie) and that if the gym had business with customer of the bank it should due him the common courtesy of getting his name right.
It's almost a rite of passage for expats in Japan to be denied some service over name issues.
The length of names is a common cause. In Japan, a normal full name is usually 4 or 5 characters long, with some exceptional cases being slightly longer. Systems often have a character limit which can exclude many non-Japanese names, especially if you have a middle name.
