The company that developed this software is Dataworks plus, according to the article. Name and shame.

I was thinking more having a "personal cloud" between trusted connected devices at different sites.

I think that local storage of personal data ("data most important to you") will be a huge trend in the next few years for both homes and offices, especially if they can back up data to other trusted devices (in other homes and offices of trusted people). As always the problem is going to be usability - the AWS ecosystem is not friendly to non-techies.

- Find your school's computer club / computer society / IEEE-CS / etc and join it. If it doesn't exist, create it. Try to apply for a leadership position on your second year. Use this opportunity to engage with local businesses or run events.

- Try to spend time with people a couple years older than you. The people you meet in college and make relationships will probably show up later in your life in unexpected ways.

- Study hard and go to office hours. Listen to professors and try to catch them outside of class. Find out what they're most interested in.

- Learn about many parts of CS, not just coding java applications. Learning linux and stuff covered in the "MIT Missing Semester" will help you so much.

- Have some fun, go to parties, get in trouble once or twice. Try to make memories and stories you can tell your kids.

- Join some club completely unrelated to engineering -- philosophy club, conservation club, dance, etc. You'll be seen as a boring person if all you learn about is CS. Go to some film screenings, attend protests, do toastmasters, and read some interesting books.

Mindustry[1] is an open source game that works perfect on mobile, especially if you have a big screen. You can find it on app stores or download it manually.

It's like factorio but more tower-defense and round-based. Much more approachable while still being really fun.

I look forward to the day we replace vaporware with vaporwave, ala segue>segway

Same here. It's been the best weather app I've used. I'm not one to get pissed off like this on the internet but I'm heated!

Is there any alternative?

Find native speakers and talk to them. Write down words you don't rememberand put them in Anki (or Pleco flash cards if you're learning Mandarin) and drill yourself on them daily.

reuters.com

- The UI (especially mobile) is pretty terrible so it's hard to get hooked

- It generally only reports global news that means something rather than talking heads or identity politics

- They have published some articles critical of themselves or affiliates, which in my opinion demonstrates objectivity

Also when I'm commuting to work, I'll listen to the local NPR station on the radio which covers some local topics.

I had a lot of fun reading the book and thought it was influential to my view of the future and VR. It's an easy read (I finished it on a long train ride) but certain parts stuck in my brain ever since. Much different and more mature than the movie.

Consuming is always going to be less sexy than creating.

Who would be more impressive, someone that can play a song on a guitar or or someone that can play a song over speakers? The former implies dedication and practice. The act of creation is always going to have a place in society, and people who think otherwise don't understand culture. The desire to make unique and interesting things or impress people will always leave room for creation or spending time to learn something. AI will just be a tool.

As for games like chess and go: Most people are interested in other people and will find much more pleasure in playing the game with others.

Foxconn in Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Racine, and Mount Pleasant offices) is hiring in the following ONSITE fields:

- AI/Machine Learning

- Content and Digital Marketing

- Electrical Engineering (bonus points for RF or BMC experience)

- Industrial, Manufacturing, Health & Safety, Firmware, and Quality Engineering

- Executive Assistants

- Marketing Analytics

- Supply Chain

- Finance

- Project Management

Speaking Chinese or knowing how to deal with asian business culture is a huge plus. We typically do not sponsor visas.

Foxconn is the largest electronic manufacturing company in the world and is rapidly growing in Wisconsin. With a focus on Industrial AI and a mission to create an intelligent data ecosystem, as an employee at Foxconn you would be working with cutting edge technology in a fast-paced and international environment.

Specifically for the HN software crowd: We are looking for AI talent in machine vision, NLP, text to speech, and industrial prediction. Any IoT talent is welcomed too. For technology, we are mostly using tensorflow, but are open to whatever you're productive in. When people in interviews ask us what our company culture is like, we'll call ourselves "the world's best-funded startup." But it's not hyperbole -- There's a lot of room for people with big ideas that can leverage our data to make money with world's largest contract electronics manufacturing company.

We might not be a silicon valley startup, but Foxconn is the 5th largest private company in term of employees and the largest tech employer in the world. We probably manufacture the GPU you use for training, the network switch your TCP packets move through, the 4G base station your phone connects to, the phone you use, or the cloud server you ssh into.

We also have a Future Leaders Program for college graduates: http://foxconnjobs.us/fflp -- College graduates with an engineering background willing to relocate to Milwaukee can work full-time for a full-time salary and benefits.

My email is [jack.klika at fii-usa dot com] and I can set up a conversation after looking at your resume. Reach out to me if you're interested in a position or just want to know more.

I've noticed the same where I can understand the basics of a Japanese program if there's subtitles. But there are some oddities like 食 being used in a verb (as in 食べる) or 行 as to go. But you still have good context and can at least understand the topic in most cases.

I am only drawing from job offers in Wisconsin. I'd recommend searching around Taiwanese job websites for other jobs with Hon Hai and its subsidiaries -- they're a huge company so they're bound to have some openings in one of their Taiwan sites. There should be some openings in the Shenzhen Longhua location too. Fii (富士康工业互联网) seems to have the most focus on AI right now and is HQ'd in the mainland.
