Re:AI translates Hokkien, an unwritten language, for the first time

I had the privilege of taking a 10-week course on Hokkien when I lived in Taiwan, and while it is true that Hokkien is unwritten, it is also true that there are some classic poems that are really only intelligible when read in Hokkien. The evolution of Hokkien and how it relates to classic Chinese is utterly fascinating to me. I feel like my understanding of Chinese as a whole became a lot deeper after learning Hokkien.
People say that Hokkien is a dying / dead language, but the way I see it is that it won't die out completely in my lifetime so it's still worth learning.

As an android user, I thought it was just me that was unable to type on iOS, relieved to hear that I'm not alone.
But also, I've noticed that typing on Android has gotten worse too as phone sizes went up. I make noticeably more typos on my >5inch pixel devices than I ever did on my <5inch nexus devices. It's still far better than iOS, but I would've expected larger screens to equal better typing experience.

Ask HN: Unsanitized query string on donaldjtrump.com
Hey all, I was poking around Donald Trump's website for security vulnerabilities and discovered this: http://shop.donaldjtrump.com/?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%22%22%29;%3C/script%3EAlthough it doesn't actually inject an XSS, it seems to confuse the server, taking it down for about 20 seconds. Any idea what is going on here?
