It's one of the reasons I used to watch fan translations of anime and read scan-lations of mangas. They would often have footnotes, inserted explanations, or even additional text documents with background on colloquialisms and commentary on things that may not be clear from someone from outside the culture.

Even as one of those "dumb US of A morons", I felt the commercial "localizations" left so much unsaid or just cut and dropped on the cutting room floor because the culture was different. However, the purpose of those companies is not to faithfully reproduce the experience, but to make money, like many businesses. Which is why artists often have to go to extreme lengths to defend the artistic integrity of their works.

Luckily, plenty of us are truly interested in other cultures and would be more than willing to do the extra reading and research to better understand.

I will qualify to say that I'm sure there are plenty of people who would rather not do the extra work and would rather be spoon-fed easy content, but I'm sure those kinds of people aren't exclusive to USA, and plenty exist in other cultures around the world.
If that's your neighbours then pretty high.
What do you all think?
The Hunt for Asia’s El Chapo
Incorrect. Japanese Blu-Ray releases do have HDR, but not 4K; and the former is only available in Panasonic's proprietary format, which is exclusive to their very-high-end players.
I had a Cordova app rejected by the Apple store because it did not use enough native iOS functionality.
I'm also on a 2015 model, but it was manufactured in early 2017 so it's not that old. I and several people I know are holding out on the 2015s for as long as they can because of ports, no touch bar, and a better keyboard compared to the newer models.
I double-search less than 10% of my queries. I’ve been using ddg for the last four years. I think people that have to double search very often have been trained by google to use queries that aren’t supported by ddg.

Google proper has several value-adds besides the search results. Solving math equations put in the search bar for example. I usually use a dedicated service for things like converting feet to meters instead of typing it into google.
Actually nine years ago, 16 was the drinking age in the Netherlands. Now it's 18.
It's always worth trying out new ideas. It's not like we're going to run out of paper or something.

My only complaint is that publicity is disproportionately allocated to the studies least likely to be right. While paper isn't limited, room in the newspaper is.
Personally, listening to vinyl is like reading a novel. There's a tangible "ritual" and the experience is inherently focusing and somewhat intimate... intentionally enjoying time immersed in the work of a single artist/group.

What is the typical american dream and why is there a typical version and an atypical version?
There are a few already :) https://www.reddit.com/r/onions/ has some .onion links on the sidebar to search engines.

They aren't decentralized, though; some people are running YaCy (a decentralized search engine) over Tor to create a decentralized index of onion sites: http://wiki.yacy.net/index.php/En:YaCy-Tor
I'm in a mini-retirement right now and living in SF. It was surprising to learn that below like $50k you basically pay 0 in income tax in California. As a single person I can very comfortably live off $40k/year in investment income and pay no taxes right now.
There was a time where the wealthy and well connected didn't have a stranglehold on society? All of human civilized history has been about nobility, religion, politics and individual wealth workings on the structure of society.

I dont understand the surprise these days that the exact same thing is happening. Nothing is different. I'm not defending the system. But pretending like it's a new thing will get you nowhere but a new flavor of the same shitty system because you dont understand the underlying functions or causes to the system. The Russians didn't like the tsar and his over reaching police state. They revolted and created a police state that made the tsar's antics look like a deep tissue massage in comparison.

I agree. I found a great framework for thinking about personal projects:

1. You need a hobby for exercise
2. You need a hobby for creativity
3. You need a hobby to make money on the side

I'm reframing my own music making from the standpoint of, "I'm not trying to become famous or get signed. I just want to make some noises and play some shows." It relieves a lot of the self-created pressure of perfectionism and self-doubt and lets me just focus on having fun and... making some noise!!
Which costs money and is exactly what everyone here is trying to avoid ;)
I've had many cases where I put exact terms in double quotes, but the Google search results still contained pages that do not contain the quoted text at all. It doesn't happen often, but it's often enough to be frustrating.
> Ghibli DVDs are everywhere; a lot of them are not official, and make money for pirates rather than for the studio.

See, the point is that it's OK. You are thinking about money, Miyazaki is thinking about what you'd call the UX.

It's better that someone picks a pirated DVD off the shelf, inserts it into the player, and watches the DVD deliberately, in their perspective, than mindlessly clicking on a "suggested next movie" button on a streaming service, and abandon the film half-way.

Even pirating the movie is better, since it's a deliberate action, a choice, and an effort.

>IMHO making the movies easier to distribute wouldn't impact the quality of presentation

Well, that's where you and Studio Ghibli disagree.

The idea of getting more satisfaction from getting something if it's a reward for an effort, however minor, is not new. That's why games have achievements, for example.
This seems like an argument, but we're in agreement.
Small town America will have $500 / month for a 2-bedroom apartment, while paying medical-doctors $200k+ / year.

But you may be the only doctor around for 10s of miles. Which is why you'd be so valuable. I'm sure there are other $100k to $200k jobs that small towns need.

No, you won't get high-tech or programming in small-town America. But there's more to life than just the tech-field. Its easy to forget because we're mostly programmers in this website.
More a demonstration that there is no such thing as "political vacuum" or "apolitical", eventually someone will manage to shove their own petty identity politics in any community at its expense. And it is just the beginning.

I predict that in a few years, people who disagree with this or that thing publicly on a unrelated social media platform and can be linked to their SO profile will get kicked out of the website because they are deemed to create an "unsafe and distressful environment for underprivileged groups".
Every month or two, I run into a query where I don't find anything useful via DDG and expected to, so I try it again with !g...and end up confirming that Google doesn't give me anything useful either. It's been years since I last found a search where Google gave me more useful results.

I'd love to know what those 70% of your queries look like.

(One interesting observation: when first switching, I found that I liked the DDG results a lot better when I styled them to look like Google results; they felt more "right" somehow.)
I'm not looking for developers. Thanks.
I disagree with the premise that facial recognition technology is inherently evil, and that there should be a blanket ban on its use by law enforcement. For example:

Imagine a system where facial recognition technology supplements, but does not replace, manual recognition. Isn’t it better to guide mugshot lookups with the best available technology rather than wasting hundreds of hours on manual searching? Without treating automatic results as final and authoritative, can’t they still be used to drastically hasten manual look-ups?
I am not sure where you live but in the U.S. flying without an ID of some sort is impossible, and an accepted ID other than a drivers license all have an arguably larger barrier to entry than going to the DMV and paying the ~$10 and an hour+ of your time. That or you are someone with an inordinate amount of resources available to you and are looking at this problem through rose colored glasses.
And the best device that Google has remains the Pixel 3a XL. They continue to remove features that people actually use and add things that nobody wants.
Isn't node a single threaded event loop, while this and Go use multiple threads and queues to support multiple threads and processors?

They even went into that with the comparison with Seastar.

If this is better than Seastar, someone should start on porting ScyllaDB to Rust. Does Rust have a userspace TCPIP stack like Seastar? I think that is the other major advance Seastar uses for speedup.
1. and 2. Amazon does use a lot of MySQL, and the fact that they still do. Oracle can determine when and how it wants to bill Amazon. You and I can't change any of that.

3. Except when the other person isn't. You just lost me on the last comment.
Rural folk don't understand that even if you're making 100k in the big city, a lot of that is eaten up by housing costs.

The fantasy of what people who don't earn 100k think 100k buys you is very different from the reality of what lifestyle 100k affords.
I'm behind a paywall, so I'm sure they pick up on this, but the biggest problem I ran into when I thought I could afford a house was the down payment. You can make $100k (or less!) and quite easily afford a monthly mortgage payment, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have enough saved up for a down payment.
The typical american dream has always been a detached home with a car and 2 kids. At 100k a year I'd break even.

I tried to use DDG so hard. Changed my browser, changed my phone. I have pretty much gotten away from Google for everything except Youtube. I ended up using !G around 25% of the time and got tired of it.

So I ended up switching to Ecosia which is a cleaner front-end for Bing. I never really find myself using using google for search anymore. Bing is good enough.
In the Netherlands that is absolutely illegal. We register more or less every leaf of grass.
Great article!

I suggest re-naming the submission to "First randomized controlled trial performed in 1835 in Nuremberg" (or something to that extent). The HN submission name currently ("The OG Nuremberg Trials") is not an accurate description of the events and the article does not have anything to do with what is most widely known as the Nuremberg Trials (which is a fascinating study case, but unrelated).
I'm not sure this is as true that the MBA level.

Well written article. I have worked remote on and off since 2004. I think you can perfectly do your job remotely. There is a social function that offices fulfill since we are social monkeys. Full remote work can lead to isolation.

The open office plan is not efficient and leads to less collaboration than traditional private offices. Most of my clients are not local so one will work remotely no matter what.

Just like to point out that that NYT hit piece didn't actually interview any software engineers IIRC.

Less sarcastically: is there an index for this kind of thing? E.g. cost of living for an equivalent neighborhood plotted against median salaries for tech jobs?
This is mostly a west coast problem, where housing is hugely inflated in every west coast state and city. And NYC too of course, but that's less surprising given its NYC.

Sometimes I think these articles are written as clickbait for people in the midwest, southeast, northeast, where housing is still very cheap and jobs pay well.
How about proof of citizenship for the right to a free press? Should we require a passport to get into church? Do only citizens get to walk into a post office? Do I need to show someone an ID before I send a letter to my representative?

Let me put it into computer terms: when your program isn't fast enough and you've got a nice profile trace, do you start your analysis with the functions using up a lot of time? Or do you start among the functions that aren't using lots of time?

Why approach vote fraud any other way? The majority of vote fraud (the 'r' is deliberately dropped, BTW) is by the incumbent party systematically preventing votes and voters from being counted.

Jimmy Carter tells the story, for example, of a town in Georgia where the voters were recorded as having voted in alphabetical order. That's real vote fraud, and something that no amount of pretend voter ids will help.
Were you going out of your way to circumvent native functionality somehow? A calculator app probably "doesn't use much native iOS functionality", but I don't see how that would get it negative points on App Store approval.
On a second thought, this is probably the right changelog entry:

That seems like arguing about metrics for the sake of it. If we change the definition to be x% reduction in the rate of accidents relative to the expected rate if a non autonomous car would be use otherwise... you would get a similar rate of impact, normalized to a smaller population, limited primarily by rapidly diminishing economic barriers that don’t seem especially relevant to the argument at hanf
Median household income in NYC is $57,782. (Individual is $50,825.)

And yeah, NYC is a huge, diverse city but even Manhattan's median income is $79,781 in 2017. (Corrected figure)
My high school started at 7am. I also took the bus; which picked up around 6:15am; so I usually woke up around 5:45am during the week. I would often nod off during my first or second period; and routinely took 2-3 hour naps when I got home from school; which screwed up my ability to fall asleep early at night or get much homework done. I sometimes wonder what my academics would have been like if I was actually awake during those first two periods.

I know millennials with combined household incomes in excess of $200k who can't afford to buy, because huge student loans are required to get that kind of income if mommy and daddy aren't rich in the first place.

Wholeheartedly disagree. I've been watching only english-subtitled entertainment for a good while for two reasons:

1) english dubs generally suck, imho

2) there's always some emotion lost in translation/dubbing

And I'm not a native english speaker either; the more I know the native language, the less dubs make sense.

> So the subtitles version often seems more genuine unless you speak the language

I honestly can't fathom how could something like this even be possible. Understanding the language helped me understand when certain tones are used. Unless you're speaking strictly of Ghibli's shows, I can't really get what you mean.

Remote work is becoming more "real" by the day, so it's certainly possible in the age of the internet to work remotely in a low cost location while making a salary competitive with a higher cost of living city like SF/NY/LA.

They are not getting around anything. As explained this is the way it is intended: As long as you begin legal action before the deadline then indeed the statute of limitations does not apply at all (mileage may vary by jurisdiction).

A statute of limitations is not aimed at helping people wriggling out of paying what they owe (among other things). It is aimed at putting a reasonable time limit on taking legal action.

the sweet spot in terms of arbitrage right now is: find full time employment at a high earning job in a major metro area, move far enough from that metro area to work remote while being able to come into the office a handful of times per month.

A three hour commute is easier when you only do it twice a week, or a few times a month.
>It was surprising to learn that below like $50k you basically pay 0 in income tax in California.

Not if you're a contractor without a full-time employer. In college I did freelance work, and I lost nearly 30% to taxes despite making less than $5k a year from my work. Having your social security responsibility doubled is brutal.
Not if the multiplier is lower. You assume the value of the degree is the same when earned without work experience to relate to what you're learning, or that you will be able to build the same network. Not to mention you are less likely to be accepted into as good of a program without work experience.
They must be talking about now because I know I've watched Spirited Away, Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies and Ponyo on streaming services in the past.

I use Android phone, dslr camera, & MacBook Pro.

I subscribe to iCloud. Also all photos from phone are synced to Google Photos in HQ format (free unlimited).

I use Dropbox to sync photos from phone to MBP.

Then I use Lightroom to move photos from Dropbox folder to my external SSD and free up space on Dropbox.

Also I use Lightroom 6 to import photos from DSLR and keep them on external SSD.

Then I open Apple Photos and import photos from SSD into Apple Photos. Since I have a small SSD in MBP, Apple Photos uses "Optimize Storage" setting. I can access these photos on iPad. I prefer iPad for photo and video editing.

Finally, I copy all content from my SSD to NAS backup.

It is a bit clunky. It would be really great if Apple Photos let you make backup on your local HD/NAS.

Ask HN: Where can I work as a software engineer to combat large global problems?
I have a Ph.D. in CS and enjoy solving open-ended technical challenges. I have a decent hands-on experience in operating systems and software engineering. I’ve been working as a full-stack engineer building Android products for almost a decade now.

I want to switch to work on larger global problems that are also technically challenging. So far I’ve recognized following job profiles-

Combatting climate change:

* Reducing the power consumption of data centers. Data centers consume ~2% of global electricity consumption and are estimated to consume up to 8% by 2030 due to the ML boom. Example roles: Site efficiency teams in Big 4.

* Building systems to support autonomous vehicles. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation account for about 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributor to U.S. GHG emissions. Autonomous vehicles are projected to reduce per-mile greenhouse gas emissions by up to 94%. Example roles: system performance teams at getcruise.com, tri.global

I am wondering if there are other software engineering/research roles I should apply to. Roles that combat global challenges and are also technically interesting.
