I watch CGTN,

while it's definitely pro china, I still find it to be by far the most valuable news television.

It focuses on Africa and Asia, which I otherwise hear very little about. The value of the news for me is mostly not whatever the news is, but the facts surrounding the news.

For example when they covered the election in Senegal, I learned a ton about Senegal as a result. The news about the election was not the important part in this case, it was learning about the country.

I wrote longer about CGTN here: http://mathiasbonde.com/?p=96
I really enjoy "Le Monde Diplomatique", it's a french monthly newspaper, mostly about foreign politics. It's translated in more than 25 languages and it started as a newspaper made for diplomatic circles.

The quality of a codec is easy to measure, and saying that it measures higher than others is not a hyperbole, but a lie. If you take something that's hard to compare, like developer effectiveness, and say he's the best, then it can be called a hyperbole.

Open defecation is a health hazard, which the WHO and UNICEF are trying to get rid of throughout the world. Yes, we should be providing reasonable alternatives (such as environmentally-friendly public toilets) but to say that there's no real issue here seems quite misguided.
Democracy is achieved through active participation in building and maintaining institutions exercising power, not in passively consuming broadcasted editorial content.

It's depressing because consuming content in isolation doesn't materially affect anything. You can't watch your way to political action. It's empty and everyone knows it.

Donate money to causes you care about, attend meetings, help organize things, exercise power.
That question is too broad. It depends on the situation.

If you know in advance where you're going to need the extra firepower (i.e. "we're gonna take that village over there") then you set up artillery. It's accurate gets where you need it quick, is cheap and can't be shot down en-route.

If you are fighting a war of occupation and patrolling basically everywhere and don't know where you'll run into a fight then you need some way of getting your extra firepower to the ground units that need it. This is traditionally handled by fixed and rotary wind aircraft carrying bombs or air to ground missiles. I'm unaware of surface to surface missiles being used in this role.

My family. Women I’ve dated. I’m back in my hometown for Christmas now and talking to people I knew from school. The average person doesn’t know about this stuff (though most likely has some proportion invested through the default option in their 401(k)). I mean damn, my aunt’s husband died recently and we had to bail her out of 10k credit card debt where she was paying interest.

The Hacker News crowd probably knows above average, though even then a lot of my colleagues could know more, e.g. haven’t heard of VTSAX, didn’t know our 401(k) does a mega backdoor Roth, etc.

I always hear this but the theory of compound interest has little to do with stock investing.

Not all stocks pay dividends. Most actually do not. And betting on a general YoY rise in stock prices into retirement is not the same thing as compound interest.

It was easy to throw hardware at a sequential problem, a decade ago. CPUs were still improving their single-core performance year after year, and memory access and all kinds of IO devices kept getting faster and better. I'm guessing that time was where this idea originates from.

Today, things are different. Single-threaded performance isn't going to be improving much in foreseeable future; the effort shifted to improving parallel performance and, more recently, power consumption. So if you write slow code - perhaps by choosing a slow software stack - your code will remain slow.

Ghosn is a Lebanese citizen (among French and Brazilian) and he chose to flee to Lebanon. In many countries, such as the US, you don't need a passport to return home. You don't need any documentation, in fact. The border agency will detain you and question you for days until you can sufficiently prove your citizenship, but they are legally obligated to let you back into the country. I don't know whether this is the case for Lebanon or not.

Commercial flights check your passport before you board, because there are regulations and they like to cover their own ass, but private charter flight don't have these checks if you pay enough.

Moc just adds some more generated code next to you valid C++ code, generally in a new translation unit.
That generated code is just boiler plate which you could write by hand if you wanted. In a sense this is what verdigris does: it provides macros that makes makes it easier to "write it by hand" (the W_OBJECT_IMPL macro somehow expends to the code generated by moc)

Stocks don’t need to pay out dividends for compound growth. Your last sentence is basically: “betting on compound growth is not the same as compound growth”. Yes ok, but a little pedantic imo.

Historically speaking, you're very wrong. There's no better place you could've put your money than the s&p.
And NYT and WaPo each have a bias as well, often very similar.

And why not at least listen to people with more than one point of view?
The predominant use cases for this will be powering ultra-low power sensors. The higher power could enable better (longer range, higher bandwidth) radios in the sensors.
What if that account offers 2% interest?
That's mostly down to financialization of the economy in recent decades combined with low interest rates. Financialization generally reduces risk (when done properly) and increases the mobility of capital both across borders and over time. Reduced risk and higher capital availability means more loans. That has enabled people to put down more money today on the basis of future income streams, which has inflated asset prices, and asset price inflation encourages more people to buy as an "investment". This goes around in a loop until interest rates go up or bad debts come due.

I wouldn't bet on asset price appreciation being a reliable route to wealth any more without an information or leverage edge, like planning decisions, political and regulation shifts, etc. which have long-term effects that result in net present value asset price changes. Sometimes the edge is basically corruption, but sometimes it's bets based on trends.
> bias

…is not by definition bad. Every publication publishes with bias (recognized and announced or not). Prejudice and unannounced (or not well-known) is what you want to avoid. Reading a "conservative bias" is a good thing, if only to better understand that point of view, regardless of if you agree or not.

Also worth noting that the AVHerald headline “descent below cleared level” is outdated - the text of the most recent update to the article makes it clear that ATC mistakenly cleared the Wizz Air aircraft to a lower level than intended.
Vim.

I think it can be in the list as well. It takes a long time to properly learn. But one hours is defiantly enough to get to know the main Vim bindings, to be as productive as in other editors. In the end it makes you super productive.
It’s not being pedantic. When you talk about the theory of compound interest it’s essentially starting with $100, getting paid interest or a dividend, and then reinvesting that so now you have $102 that earns a dividend or interest and so on.

Investing in 100 shares of company XYZ that does not pay a dividend, or investing in a company that does pay a dividend but isn’t being reinvested, is not compound interest in the classic sense at all.
One thing i‘m missing is a bit a generic one, but here goes:
What are the principles that make a democracy?

> "First make it. Then make it work. Then make it better."

That only works when you do simple things, for harder things the "make it better" part usually requires a complete rewrite if you didn't properly think things through from the beginning.

A better mantra would be "First make it, then make it again, then make the real version".

This is what I very much appreciate about the Economist and why I subscribe.

Solid handling of the facts and well-announced bias, when present. They say "based on these facts, this is our editorial opinion" (almost literally), and I find it refreshing.

I’ve recentried tried google trends to see if swift was gaining popularity overall :

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0...

Imho There’s definitely an issue in the strategy for this language ( or for ios native development since the two are tied).

My guess is cross platform development is eating mobile, and swift has nothing in that area.
I’m saying a positive ROI is not the same thing as compound interest. An asset that rises in value like $SPY is not in of itself an example of compound interest.
I do the same. If some news is important enough, it'll eventually percolate to HN, or I'll hear about it from someone else.

The way I see it, almost all news is completely irrelevant to my daily life, not actionable in any way, usually depressing, and often very inaccurate. It provides negative information - after consuming them, you end up dumber and more confused than you were before. So I stay away.
I am that software engineer! Thanks for posting here. I've been working on some significant algorithm improvements over the past couple of weeks (which have just gone live), and have a few more bugfixes to make, then I was going to post it to HN myself in due course.

> By Simon Hradecky, created Thursday, Jan 10th 2019 23:32Z, last updated Thursday, Dec 26th 2019 16:24Z

While the incident itself might have been a year ago, it was clearly updated on the basis of the recent report.
Short summary: the two planes were very close, “200 feet vertical and 0.2nm horizontal,” and according to the article the main reason the incident happened is due to miscommunication and oversaturated communication channels.

Initially the Wizz Air plane was supposed to descend to FL300, but missed the first instruction, and the second one was incorrectly given and confirmed (read back by the crew means confirmed?) as FL200. The Air Europa flight was at FL290, and the Wizz Air plane got to FL292 (200 feet from FL290) before being instructed to ascend. The cause of the miscommunication was that the frequency used to communicate from the air traffic control to the planes was saturated and many communications collided, meaning multiple communications happened at the same time and were impossible to differentiate, necessitating repeating.

Edit: wasn’t misheard, instruction was incorrectly given.

"Things should be as simple as possible, but not simpler." quoting a smart person here.
I understand why you'd reach this conclusion. I would like to offer another viewpoint for you and others reading this to consider.

Simply put, you are underestimating the impact you have on those around you. Every media literate and well-informed critical thinker has the ability to dramatically change someone's perspective. Not just by knowing what to say, but even more importantly how to listen.

Empathetic 1:1 conversation that is respectful is literally the only way to help people escape their bubbles. If you don't know wtf you're talking about, you're missing every shot you don't take.

Essentially, this would be fine if you lived alone, but in reality when you insulate yourself from politics you're just setting yourself up for frustrating moments where you know that your racist uncle is wrong but you have neither the facts nor the confidence to address his ignorant points in a way that doesn't just boil over into hurt feelings.

In short: this attitude taken to the extreme is an abdication of social responsibility. Much like herd immunity, you don't need to be a hero... just not part of the problem.

Roughly speaking, if a company doesn’t pay a dividend, it reinvests the profits in itself which compounds its own stock price. You get the benefits of compounding stock prices that way. I think we are arguing over semantics.
Either:

(a) not announce "interviewing all the leaders" until all the leaders were confirmed. This could be a competence rather than a bias issue; wasn't it Fyre Festival who were announcing acts who they hadn't booked to perform?

(c) given that Gove and Stanley Johnson (who has no formal position in the party, he's just Johnson's father and now a minor celebrity) turned up to protest outside, they should have been challenged instead
