Yes, but he's moving from the States, so he's used to that. If you want decent internet, you basically have to move to Northern Europe, or Asia.

It wouldn't be hard to compile a list of things are slightly worse in Canada than in the US (product availability, weather). But, it wouldn't be hard to compile a list of things are slightly better, too (infrastructure, crime rate). I can also think of things that are better in Europe (architecture, mobile telephony, travel) but taken as a whole, I think Canada strikes a pretty decent balance.
The problem with shitholes is that they suck. Sure they are cheaper but like fast food it's not good for you.
A parallel false equivalence: snopes sometimes makes mistakes therefore it's as bad as breitbart.

And the idea that misinformation has no impact is the equivalent of saying advertisement has no impact. Or propaganda.

What is happening is an attempt to cast doubt on the genuine information sources critical to a well informed electorate. The same way doubt has been successfully cast on climate change and natural selection. The word 'Lugenpresse' was used to do this in a previous generation.

That anyone genuinely believes the implication of this, that the entire free press of all democracies world wide is conspiring against the American people while Putin's press and tabloid websites are their sole champion, could not possibly be more absurd.
> If they can achieve a big improvement over Nvidia , they can retain their margins.

That's part of my point--they can't achieve a big improvement over Nvidia. Nvidia hires from the same pool that Intel does. Intel doesn't magically get better engineers. If anything the smarter ones are at Nvidia because it's easier to double the stock price of a $13B company than a $150B company, so more upside potential on stock options, which matters to those seeking long and lucrative careers at bigcos. Salaries are about the same at both companies.

So with Nvidia's headstart and the knowledge that a bigger team does not lead to better engineering performance (as per Mythical Man Month), how does Intel magically achieve a "big improvement" over Nvidia?

> As for the market being small - as long they can run a self sustaining , high-margin business org at it ,and there's. A big possibility of future growth , why not ?

I agree logically, but I don't think Intel is quite there as an organization. Once an organization is being run by committee, it's too easy to throw cold water on an idea to kill it. Why take the risk of backing a new initiative?

Also, let's say they were on-board as an organization... See my first point: they can't run a self-sustaining high margin business because there isn't one. There isn't even an especially high margin business for Nvidia; enterprises aren't nearly as stupid or rich as everyone thinks.

If anything, Intel has made the classic big company mistake of waiting too long in the first place, then realizing they're losing, then overcompensating via acquisition. Historically, it's not a good strategy.

My whole point being: I'm glad to see competition, Nvidia (or quantum computing, etc.) will probably win this.

I don't agree that Go's tooling is what makes it popular. Mainly because it's tooling is not very good. All of the vendoring tooling is broken in one way or another, the linters and vet-checkers have questionable advice in some cases, and not to mention that the standard library has so many quirks that come from the fact that Go is trying to be system programming language that hides details about the system from you.

While this construct looks pretty weird if you decompose it element by element using the rules of the language it becomes rather clear IMO. The most arcane feature here is probably the bitfield syntax that you might not encounter very often in the wild.

The problem with C IMO is that the compilers are very permissive by default and it's easy to trigger an undefined behaviour with seemingly harmless code if you're not careful. Things like promotion rules make it difficult to guess at a glance how the code is going to behave if you don't have a very good understanding of these (rather quircky) rules. There's also the whole mess of the pointer vs. array distinction which sometimes matter and sometimes doesn't etc...

By comparison these BUILD_BUG_ON macros are relatively straightforward IMO. The naming is a bit misleading unfortunately but at least it's in full CAPS so you know it's a macro...
My personal experience is 100% in line with this, and it's beyond me why none of the major todo list apps feature drag & drop calendar integration.

I'm reluctantly using Things, and the closest thing it has is due dates and "hide this task until that date".
Surely, it wouldn't be that hard to implement a daily planner view that brings up your day's calendar in the right pane, a list of upcoming tasks in the left one, and lets you drag them across ?

I feel orphaned ever since Google acqui-hired then shut down the only app that really nailed this workflow : Timeful. Its AI-based autoscheduling was only a bonus, the UI was marvelous.

Parts of Timeful have been added to the Google Calendar app but it's lacking, and nowhere near as close to a complete, magical and satisfying system as Timeful was.

More than a year later, I'm still desperately looking for good alternatives. "Plan" (https://getplan.co/) looks promising but not quite polished enough, and "Skedpal" seems overkill.

From some technical perspective, the author might be right ... But what he is totally missing is the user side.

When seeing an ad for a service on TV (which is where most of users are coming from if you are talking B2C businesses) or anywhere else, every user goes to the app store and enters the name of the service there. I have seen quite a few businesses try the "mobile website only approach" and as soon as they started real world ads (read: not online), they very quickly realized they needed to be on the app stores. Cordova[1] might be a solution for that problem but then you would have to write a Cordova app and not _just_ a mobile web site ...

So, completely disregarding the user story, the author might be right. But when your app is trying to reach end users, there's absolutely no way around the App Stores in the foreseeable future.

Ask HN: What term/concept should I learn next? (creating software, need help)
Every day I have about 2 hours of free time to learn something new. Problem is, when I start searching for something new, I immediately lose myself in a big number of topics I'm interested in.

After 2 hours, I read about 10 topics and after 2 days I can't remember most of it.

I would like to create my own software with a list of groups and a list of concepts/topics in those groups where I would randomly get a topic/concept and a list of links to read.

For example:

Algorithms

- sequence search

- graph search

Compiler theory

- top-down parsing

- distributed processing

So, once a day I would open my software, choose a list of groups and get a random topic.

I need HN to start with a list of groups and topics that are interesting so I can publish this application and maybe we can all learn new things.

Also, there could be a topic linked to the randomly chosen topic which will say "If you don't understand merge sort, try with bubble sort." with a link to bubble sort.

The only problem with Nvidia, if you look at the entire system, is that they rely on Intel's CPUs for most of the computer systems that they are a part of. Sure, they have their ARM core CPUs that have proven to be decent, but I don't see them blowing anyone out of the water with them. Furthermore, there is no interchanging GPUs, so the only people using Nvidia CPUs are the ones that buy into Nvidia's entire ecosystem, which is necessarily going to be fewer people/groups.

AMD, on the other hand, while fighting Intel and Nvidia for the past decade and coming up short, may be at the horizon of a breakthrough. Only AMD seems ready to find the synergy between CPUs and GPUs. A Zen and Vega combination of architectures could essentially be an Intel i7 top of the line + an Nvidia GTX top of the line. Add some special sauce, and they could really do it.

Nothing that Intel has done in a long time has been impressive, but Nvidia is on fire. AMD's CPUs may help them leap ahead instead of merely catching up (which Vega may do anyway).
Ok, then what would cause a huge uptick in default rates?
Part of the problem here is that the terms/interest is so crippling that they can't take out another $160K debt to "pivot" into something more financially practical.

Further, I think having the availability/flexibility of studying multiple degrees can be immensely useful/rewarding. Particularly as industries get more advanced/sophisticated (and others get automated/downscaled), I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cultural shift towards continuous reeducation (at least, as much is financially practical/possible).

> Earning a high level of income makes life extraordinarily comfortable, to the point where it is easy to become complacent and stop trying to really contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Earning a high level of income in general already signifies that a person is contributing to society in a meaningful way. Their income is reflective of the service provided to others.

All corporations exist to better the lives of people. Their purpose is to earn profit for shareholders (ultimately, people), but how do they accomplish that? Mostly, by making useful goods or selling useful services. A consumer will then buy one of these goods or services because that consumer has decided the value of the good/service to them is greater than the value of the dollars they'd need to pay for it. E.g., If you have decided to buy a car for $10k cash, then you have decided that having the car now is more valuable to you than having $10K USD now. The fact that the car exists and is available for sale has thus enriched your life, by giving you the option to buy it. The car's makers are providing a service to others.

As a result of each purchase, both sides ends up with greater total value than they had before. When people trade, both are better off.

A tremendous income generally comes from delivering tremendous value in the world to others. There are many layers of indirection involved, so it's difficult to see for one's self how one's job (like an office job or financial job) improves the lives of others in the general case, but through trickle-down effects it always does if you follow cause and effect through enough steps.

Or for a clear and notable example, consider the game of Minecraft. It was largely developed by a single individual, Markus Persson aka Notch. He sat down and used his game development skills to produce something marvelous. Many people came along and each decided to pay Markus $X for his game Minecraft, and since over 100 million copies have been sold, Markus became a billionaire. Many people found great enjoyment in the game, and Markus gained a great number of dollars.

In general, tremendous income results from delivering tremendous value. Our society is working correctly and incentivizing the right things if this is the result of ethical business dealing. Sometimes people get rich through scams, fraud, theft, and other shady dealings, but in a society with law and order, this is the exception rather than the rule.

In my experience living in Spain and Japan, depending on the app type many users will put up with only English version to try the apps out or because they are cool; they are not the majority, but many young educated users will do. Also note, Spain and Japan are infamous for low English skills.

In this area, I'd say that apps with little interface text/intuitive icons (such as camera-type or even chat apps) and apps for learning new languages (these users are likely to know English already) can get away with it.

I don't think some of these points are necessarily accurate.

Speaking generally, "fake news" is a real problem, though a more accurate term would perhaps be "poorly vetted" news. Large media outlets feel the need and pressure to compete with the rapidity of social media for news since prior to doing so, the large media outlets appared to be lagging behind "real news".

I think that it's better to say that we're still not sure how to handle and adjust to a new world where data updates are instanateous for the general population. The traditional gatekeepers have lost a lot of power and many new ones have risen up in their place - the new gatekeepers have various degrees of fact checking and integrity, so they can produce more content and faster, meaning that anyone regardless of affiliation can find nearly instant authoritative sources on just about anything they care to in a matter of seconds, with search bubbles catering to their biases.

Fake news in the context of it being poorly researches and poorly vetted is a real problem. We don't have the system of checks that journalism used to have for instaneous news pieces, and it's not something you can mine out either - it requires some actual fact checking; did this person really say this? what is the context of the statement? was the piece legitimate or satire? It's not necessarily a disinformation battle, no, but man, it's really hard to sort through a lot of the information out there, especially when the majority of the populous is used to having a few definitive sources they can rely on for good hard hitting journalism.
