Not about tags but I remember a lot of discussion around this concept the difference between Japanese and English twitter when the character limit was changed. This short blog links to a more academic source.

Don't forget native SIP!
I worked at a big tech company for a couple of years and I was really unhappy, even though it was supposedly the type of job many people in the industry would have been excited to have. I feel like I can empathize with the problem of being involved in the tech world, but feeling disillusioned with many of the career options available.

I eventually found clarity by focusing on what I'd want to do if money was not an option & it helped me identify where my true passions were -- some were within tech & some were outside of tech, and it helped me make good choices about how to try and spend my time. Unfortunately there will not necessarily be a perfect way to make money at these things, but it can at least inform the direction you should work toward long-term. You've listed a couple of areas of interest, and so if you'd like to pursue those, try to make space in your life to always be working on problems in those spaces at least part of the time. But if your real interests are all outside of tech -- it's okay to leave tech. You ultimately don't want to be stuck in an industry that you don't really care about.

One other area that might be something to consider, which is something I got involved with after I left my job: conducting technical interviews. It's a great mix of getting to interact with real people, while still leveraging your technical skills (and usually remote, which is a big perk). The kinds of questions involved in the classical technical interview usually cater to people with strong algorithm & data structures knowledge, but are super learnable for anyone with not a lot of experience with those particular topics as long as you've got solid coding skills.

If you (or anyone else reading this) would be interested in chatting a bit more about that space in particular, I'm always excited to share more details about it -- it was a really positive experience for me to discover that world. My contact info is in my profile.
Try getting into game development. Plenty of different avenues to stop you from getting bored too: Game-logic, performance, AI, rendering.

I'm not a gamer myself, but I don't think you have to be to enjoy working in the industry. Most firms would probably be more relaxed on university qualifications, compared to other software engineering firms (I think).

The gaming industry is pushing the boundaries of tech in a lot of places and is much more interesting than CRUD apps...
Does it have to be the simultaneous version of the current universe or can it be the universe as it was distance/c ago?

Actually with relativity and all I'm not exactly sure there is a just a single correct definition of the instantaneous state of the universe.
I think Khan academy for higher math/physics/chemistry /CS would be invaluable. Maybe it could be crowdsourced in some way?
Apple TV (and accompanying remote) is by far one of the worst UI/UX experiences I've seen.
You can shut off auto-play junk on the menus? Didn't used to be able to. Great news, one of the worst UI features I've ever seen (as in, intended behavior, not a bug).
How else will government bureaucracy grow itself? Create more bureaucratic hurdles in the name of safety/regulation and create the need write 800 documents so they can hire the closest relative that graduated from English Literature.
If you are the launching or if it's a showcase then appending Show HN: to the title will be helpful.

Between this solution looks interesting. Is it only supported with GKE ?
That would be landsat and its successors. Its pretty hard to hide climate at nation-scale. The leakage of Halons from Nth China was discovered by non-chinese.

I would be confident the actual CO2 emissions can be within some margin of error seen by anyone with a satellite with the right land sensing technology.

Where I diverge from you is the belief there is some systemic failure inherent in China to do what they say. They made the three gorges dam. They made space. They make Nuclear reactors When they want to achive the five year plan, they achieve the five year plan within limits: the backyard furnace thing back in the 1960s was a bit stupid.

China is complicated. it has provinces. Trump can rant about California but constitutionally cannot stop californians being californian. Because Federal-State is a thing. Well guess what: China is no different. China has provinces, and how well the provinces police this is about their federal-state structure, and is not evidence of systematic failure in the chinese model.
I am not a typical homeless person. I am educated, skilled and I have no addictions, etc. I'm also not living on the street, and am lucky to not have any health problems. But I think my story really can perhaps reveal how incredibly easy it can be for one to have the misfortune to end up in such situations.

My own experiences have opened my eyes to how abusive people can be, and perhaps this is a significant aspect of the stories of people who have failed to thrive. I don't know everyone's experience -- this is just mine.

Actually, I've often been afraid, or ashamed, to speak about the unfortunate circumstances of my life, and I've never known where to get help. I mentioned it here[1], recently on HN. The discussion there made me wonder if it is better for people like me to share their stories.

It's interesting that in the public conciousness, there is such a vocal push back against abuse, tyranny and even victim blaming. Of course it does still happen, even with consensus being against it. Most reasonable people do not appeal to living such a world, but there is an unfortunate hypocritical nature in humanity, where while people don't want to live in such a world, some of the same people are keen to take advantage, and in ways can be submissive to bullies and tyrants.

I wonder how many people there are out there with stories like mine, who have survived pscyhopathic aggression and extreme bullying, but with irreperable social or professional lives and nobody to fall back on.

I think history is full of examples of people who have been victim to such crazy, immoral things. And of course everyone says in retrospect, "if I had been there, I'd have done something."
It's not different from the argument that "diversity is our strength", there is no support for that either. It seems like homogenous societies can function very well and have certain advantages(and maybe also disadvantages) comparing to diverse societies. But in the current climate in the west saying it is a heresy.
or the problem is aggregators (reddit, HN, twitter, fb)
Excellent insight. I never knew how to understand those anti-scraping policies.
Diversity is strength?
Poverty thresholds have always been set relatively, even in the USA.
You'd think they could come up with something constructive. Have the officers do community service among the residents while on the clock and in uniform. You'll have even less crime that way.
IMO from what I have heard from folks working at Japanese offices of big tech companies: people work harder in SV.
Looks like apple news just needs to have a few different bundles, like one that includes The NY Times, Bloomberg, and the economist..
I found their call for donations at the bottom troubling:

Hate racists? You’ll want to read this.

Over the last few days Donald Trump and the GOP have doubled down on their campaign of hate and destruction.

It’s not difficult to see that we all have to do more to stop it before it’s too late.

That’s why we’re announcing our Make a Racist Cry campaign — where every dollar you give to Truthout will go directly to our ongoing efforts to make racists cry (because if there’s anything a racist hates it’s fearless journalism).

1.3 million people read Truthout last month. If every one of you chipped in a few bucks we’d all be swimming in racist tears. Imagine that!

Please, click the donate button and make a racist cry today.

Nothing ironic at all about hating people for hating people for their race :-|

EDIT: formatting
FWIW at least 95% (anecdotally) of Facebook’s main code is in two gigantic monorepos: fbsource and www. (The other major repos are for configuration-related stuff).

Last I heard there were plans to move www into fbsource.

There are certainly not random dependencies on public GitHub pages. Everything is versioned.

There is a mind boggling amount of custom tooling to make this work.
> Do people worrying about this have some grand idea that if humans legislated this addiction away then.. what?

People can make decisions about where to spend their attention with a lesser burden of addiction design. That's it and that's a fine goal.
Given how slow the rest of the world economy is, and that they still managed to eek out 1% revenue growth on an absolutely gargantuan $50+ billion base for the quarter, despite earning the majority of their revenue abroad on a luxury product, I'd say these numbers are pretty amazing.
Is it better though? You still have salaryman culture in the US, and crazy work hours. But zero guarantee with regards to benefits, and the employer has zero loyalty to you.
I'd map this to a different expression of the same goal.

If we plant trees for long-term remediation, what other thing can we plant, which achieves short-term remediation in local microclimate, has financial or other upsides, displaces things like woodchip or other plant fibres for commerce, can bootstrap an economy, and is easy to grow in marginal land?

Palm Oil is when it goes wrong: try and displace underground oil with biofuels and you encourage people to cut down rainforest to plant oil palm. But at reduced yield, re-foresting and re-planting lands with trees and hemp feels like a mutually beneficial idea. The trees are the 20+ year work. the Hemp is for smaller but immediate benefits.
We have stopped expecting exponential growth, that's what the linked article is about. "Slowing Growth" is literally in the title!

And that means things, like for example the stock has to decline and/or dividends increase because it becomes more productive to put that money into companies that are growing. Investors care about news like this.

It seems like a lot (a lot) of readers here are looking at the article as if it says "Apple sucks. Their products suck. No one should buy this junk. They're going to fail."

That's not what it says. It does say that Apple, as an investment, is changing from one kind of thing (a growing tech behemoth) to another (a basically static industry giant), and that change is news.
Hahahaha. "Adjustments" is quite a way to describe it. I wonder how many large bodies exist today because an impact sightly nudged them from catastrophe to orbital stability. My arm chair astrophysics training tells me the answer is "literally all of them"
“>> Have you been to the bus?
>> I have not. I've only been as far as the river. I went to the river to see it for myself when I was reporting on this whole pilgrimage phenomenon a few years ago and I watched a group of hikers cross that were headed to the bus and three of them were swept downstream and one of them almost drowned.“

A reporter who can’t figure out why people keep going to the bus sure had an easy time justifying why they themself went.
Geologist here -- this has been an active topic lately!

Just a few weeks ago there was a paper proposing a 4.336 +/- 0.031 Ga age for the Lunar Magma Ocean [1], which is often equated with (esp. in public press [e.g., 2], though not really the same as) the age of the Moon. For comparison, the "40 to 60 Ma after solar system formation" in the new paper [3] discussed here translates into roughly 4.517 +/- 0.010 Ga.

This new paper agrees almost perfectly with one I was a coauthor on a couple years ago though [4], which also gave an age of 4.51 (+/- 0.01) Ga, so maybe we're starting to get slightly closer to some consensus.

Well, I agree there is not that much merit in the article for pointing out the obvious, but if the emperor has no clothes someone needs to say it.

The engineers working on these problems will never solve them in a cost-effective manner. Never. A lot of new cool tech will come out of the space race, but never will (current versions of) humans live in a self-sustained Mars. And I'm not counting exporting scientific research and souvenir rocks as being self-sustainable.

PS: I'm not rejecting the idea that eventually big actors like states might compete for automated resource extraction and production of war commodities, nuke tests, etc. It's just human habitability that I question.
Likewise with gun. But I guess the US prefer their "freedom" more.

What an amazing story, thanks for sharing!

I just watched some of TV interviews with the family and saw the rest of his work, and it's pretty amazing. Check out Invaders in 512 bytes [1][2], or Aardvark game for the Atari 2600 ([3]).

If this happens, I'm seriously going to consider suicide.

Then are you saying it's wrong for men to be activists in support of their rights?

Maybe you can clarify your previous statement some.

The only rights I've seen or heard people being "men's activists" for (which seem to include a lot of women too) is regarding abuses against men.
Well, I would be happy if anyone would buy me drinks. Because uually I'm broke af.

As an EE who does embedded systems and CRUD apps, I can safely say that both tasks are as exciting or as boring as you choose to make them.

Expertrec - since it is built specifically to be used by site owners, will give you complete control on your ranking and crawling (which you can try contacting google support for a response).
I wont complain about google search, (I was part of it and had worked hard to improve it), but remember you dont have any control when your new page or your modification will be re-indexed by google. you cant fix a broken result if something obviously bad shows up.

You have a clever hack, and I appreciate your ingenuity. You have got rid of the Ads, but still have the handicap of not having full control on your search. Why not use this time to leapfrog? It is just 9$
What makes you think there would be less crime when the crime rate is already very low?

Spending less money on police and more on things such as social welfare will probably do more for crime than getting them to plant trees or whatever.
Maybe they should think about finding a job that aligns with their morals better.

It's hard for me to feel that sorry for people who later feel bad after being willing participants in killing people despite what must be their own morals against it.

Having said that I don't want anyone to suffer PTSD, but it's much worse for the families on the other end of the war machine.

There is no "be charged" in civil cases. Anyone can sue anyone about anything. And as TFA notes, if you're sued, you must defend yourself. Or you can get a default judgment against you.
A university friend wound up working for insolvency accounting firms. He said you need a heart of steel and a head of steel, and it costs. I didn't like him as much before he told me this, as I did afterward because I think we need to pay respect to the undertakers, they do a job nobody else is willing to do, and treating them like pariahs or untouchables is bad.

That said, Asset stripping a viable company to get its value as a KPI is kind-of a "thing" and I think we all suspect the shell-game of 'who is first in the creditors list' plays out to somebody else's advantage. I don't trust insolvency because I don't trust the compacts which puts some people at the front of the queue for settlement.

In Australia, government guarantees on workers statutory entitlements is good. But after that, its banks before everyone. Almost anyone I know, who engages with an insolvency is in the 'you are unsecured, go away' camp. Thats a lot of downstream hurt for small traders, self-employed, productive people.
On a military base, it's not so bad. They genuinely need to police drunk driving because you have a lot of young people with decent incomes on their own for the first time. Most American military bases are pretty aggressive about policing traffic issues, and it's apparently all to the good.

They do things like place some crumpled car as a billboard somewhere prominent to remind you daily what your car might look like if you drive drunk, then post a count that gets updated daily "Days since last deadly accident" or something like that.

And on the base in question, we had on base housing. One of the duties of the police was to let you in your house if you locked yourself out accidentally. (I did once.)

But this article starts with a stake out actively trying to tempt someone to steal something. It's essentially entrapment, or not far from it.
Well, it dependends... last week I was drinkign a beer alone in my usual water shit hole, smoking a cigar... a guy came and ask for my ligther. In half a hour we where discussing the root causes of WWI. So... you can't have... but usually not with a girl you trying to impress.
I think you're underestimating the level of cognitive indirection that 5-7 year olds are capable of.
ML engineer is a super boring job content-wise and has insane outside pressure. It's about building data pipelines, the ugly grunt work. ML/Data Scientist is the interesting job. Usually Data Scientists view ML Engineers as replaceable drones that don't understand anything interesting and do the boring part of the job for 2-3x less than they do. The only advantage of ML Engineers is that AutoML is unlikely going to replace some dirty work but might endanger outdated Data Scientists.
Expertrec is not a Google Alternative and no where closer to saving the world like ecosia, but it helps site owners to save their users from forced ads by providing an alternative to google site search.
You could buy something like a Nokia e63. It does just as much.
Ever since Edward Snowden's revelations in 2013, I've had zero sympathy for or trust in any intelligence service, even in purportedly democratic countries.

Last year, my own country (Australia) passed a law which allows the government to force companies or even individuals to add backdoors to their products, and makes it a criminal offence to refuse or publicly disclose their requests. I would go to jail before I complied.

For those of you in other five eyes countries, you'll have similar laws soon too. Our intelligence agencies have clearly set themselves up against fundamental principles of human rights, and their efforts to undermine these must be fought.
I wouldn't rush to dismiss tribalism as a bad thing for society. Homogeneity is like any tradeoff: upsides and downsides. Japan is as homogenous as they come.

This guy sells mangoes on the street and can afford a data plan that lets him stream music all day and watch movies on his cell phone in the evening.

This is unthinkable in Canada (except for those socialists in Sask.).
I think a few other posters have touched on this, but: IMO there is no such thing as preparing for an extended physical war with China, Russia, or (worst case) current allies such as the EU. Any war of serious consequence between large nuclear powers is game over for both. Even if one "wins," they'll be left in such a state of devastation that every other country left on the planet will handily surpass them, if there's even a habitable planet afterwards.

I'd be surprised if our lawmakers, who mostly grew up in the era of MAD (mutually assured destruction) with the USSR, aren't aware of this. That's in part why there's such a focus on preventing unfriendly countries such as Iran from developing nuclear weapons... And it's why Iran wants them so badly: a large enough nuclear arsenal is a free pass from the "leg-breakers" you describe, because — one hopes — no one would be mad enough to start a war of MAD.

Currently, the military is still extremely useful in projecting force and securing access to important trade routes and resources. Threat of nuclear weapons isn't a good fit there, because you'd immediately destroy whatever you were trying to retain access to. Most of the global superpowers are thus locked in a giant Mexican standoff, where their militaries need to remain powerful enough to at least project the ability to fight and win small battles (and are stuck in an arms race against each other on that front), but can't reasonably expect to be able to topple each other — only gain relative advantage in the global economy via a long, slow game of securing access to better resources, trade agreements, or capital, and subtly undermining or attempting to destabilize each other via psychological warfare (election interference), economic warfare (tariffs, IP theft, etc), or hacking.
I understand where you are coming from. Spent a summer writing an crud application back in the 1980's and yeah never again.

I do embedded and generally like it.

While I have a degree it's not in CS. Not going to lie, not having a degree makes it harder. I've been there. But several years of experience doing CRUD would help.

Best job opportunities are likely to come through a friend of a friend. And be at a smaller company where they care less about paper qualifications.
Sure, but a very long time will pass between it being uploaded and being merged into stable, so there is a lot of time for people to discover your malicious code.

It is not like npm or crates.io where you can just upload whatever random code you like and people will start picking it up immediately.

But it’s not foolproof, sure, I agree with that.
>I think people in the USA work crazy hours and take no vacations.

You may think that but it's far from universal, including in the tech industry. [ADDED: The US does rank fairly low on average on the amount of vacation people take but Japan is as low or lower.]
