I'm curious if there's a reason why or how Tesla tend to build 10+ stations per location while EA/EVgo tend to only do 4 most of the time. I still need to wait a lot of times at EA/EVgo locations.
Well, I, for one, am Taiwanese and happy to see it happen. We also did legalize gay marriage (albeit unfortunately through a special law instead of fixing the civil laws).
I wrote a program to fetch lyrics from some websites and then got approached by someone who has license to actually use the lyrics but they don’t have it in digital form so they asked to purchase my app.
Ended up working with them and later moved to a startup that also worked with them. For a college student, being able to work as one of the two engineers was great, system architecture, distributed queue, networking setup, everything is yours to do and learn. It was also a Mac OS X / Objective-C shop so learned a lot of obscure debugging techniques because there’s just not that many info available for OS X as servers. (We made web photo album editor and print it out for our users, OS X had the best PDF engine for free.)
Moved to the US from Taiwan later, the knowledge I’ve accumulated helped me passed my interview at Twitter and things went from there. I would never imagine a tiny app would lead me into a career!
Author here. Surprised to see this website made it on to Hacker News
Glad to see some debates on the vocabs listed there:
* Yes, it is very IT oriented.
* Yes, I have been in some academic environment. (but seriously, 文本 is rarely heard in my life!)
* No, it is not supposed to be an exhaustive list of all things wrong nor _the_ correct list.
At the end of day, it is a short list of what I'd like to see it changed and thus I tracked it. We may not all agree on the translations, but I think we can agree on 1/55 is a pretty sad score to have.

Lastly, feel free to fork and run your copy if you'd like a different set of words / translations to be tracked!
