Exactly, smartphones were relatively rare before 2005 or so, but even before the iphone there were a lot of people with symbian, BBs and treos, and now dumbphones are mostly of the disposable kind.

I get the point but then again is demand so high or just in SV and other tech hubs? I travel a lot and the situation for devs can be very different depending of the context. In LATAM most devs are making less than other even simpler profess

Ask trotsky how easy it was to be a communist in the thirties and not defend stalin. And got a link to that? because all I could find was a petition from eastern european countries to the UE asking for penalties on deniers of the crimes o

Not strange at all, the problem is that you had an entire generation ripping through Paris' streets throwing bricks at the police while holding mao's book in their hands when in china people were dying by the millions due to the p

I totally get your point, I just got a bunch of BS from a washed-up speech coach (who ironically is also foreign and with a noticeable accent) because of my accent. I think the problem is the attitude: when I speak in my language with engli

I remember trying to build one of these in Argentina and the CNC (our FCC) shutting it down. As it turns out the government-sanctioned telco duopoly (telefonica/telecom) not only had rights to all landlines but also the frequency where

That's an Accord coupe, the B pillar is more thick than a 4-door version, wouldn't that mean the sedan would score even worse?

Not only that but leasing an expensive car can actually cost you less than the value of the car you lose for using it. I remember checking how leasing a Porsche for 3 years would cost me less than half of the value the car would lose in tha

I find that devs have a far harder time dealing with apple's policies and fees than with android's fragmentation. One particular case is one startup where all the people involved use iphones but they moved to android to launch the

I don't know if that many devs are really into macs, most I know aren't and those who do are usually because their company uses/issues them one. In some parts its more peer-pressure than actual convenience. Still unity tries

Indeed the word is "companero", but its not as formal as comrade which also exists as "camarada", in this context its actually more like partner (in a professional sense) but not as informal as brother or pal in englis

Indeed, Argentina lacks the ability or manpower to launch a worldwide program like PRISM but it has more than enough to do similar things to its <40MM population. That and a set of laws that allow the government to make life a living hel
