Let's see, Signal is based in the US. Wechat is a Chinese system with a great UX that is based in China. Telegram used to be based in Russia. Whatsapp is owned by Facebook. I think it is pretty self-explanatory that in all these countr

You are assuming that only metal pipes exist. Nowadays most pipes are made by either concrete for the big ones (canal like) or plastic connected with glue that is rated for hot or cold water.

Lol, thanks for the JavaScript joke. Had a good laugh.

The thing is that building in China is way cheaper than in the US, so for them it makes sense to just keep demolishing stuff and build new stuff. I saw it happening several times all over China. In Shanghai for instance, they are building a

Right, who has even heard of amphibious landing ships. Not like they need them in any case, since they happen to have the fastest amphibian armored vehicle in the world. But you are either trolling here or way too deep into conspiracy theor

But I believe you fail to see that this is just like watching somebody throw trash at a neighbor lawn and then go on thinking, well they did not do it in my lawn. At this point, everybody knows that the data mining operations run by Google

Not all of them, check out the Xiaomi Mix 2. Pictures are ok but otherwise great phone and no notch. To use the front camera you need to turn the phone around though, but for me that's a better compromise than the notch.

Anybody else felt that the study is kind of too broad and they kind of say, yes it is partly because of the opiods but at the same time there is another study that say it isn't. So I feel I literally read noise.

The Hunt for the Red October was Tom Clancy's side project and look where that took him.

I think you are misleading yourself by recycling policies and waste management that takes the trash out to a place where you cannot see it, precisely the point of the article. The amount of trash a person generates in a country like the US

Ok I should have said was loved, because that was certainly the case for me. They loved explaining entity objects, factories and others in Java. But I think you are right as far as Python taking over. I don't understand the downvotes f

That was always the core issue with Java for me. No matter how hard they tried to sell me that they finally fixed UI with Swing and whatnot, it always felt like Java apps lived in their own bubble, consumed massive resources and we're

I think it is a good example because cryptocurrencies solve the confidence issue people have in the local currency and takes away control of a single government to impose controls and depreciate the currency. You also get to bypass the noto

With an exchange that transfers money to your local bank account? I know at least two that do that for Venezuela.

You can use localbitcoins.com or localethereum.com and somebody will buy your cripto and give you bolivares in your local bank account. That way you save a trip to the US to open an account, which most people can't afford anyway

Well the thing is that cash is nowhere to be found so you just go around with your debit card and you are fine. The other part is that we Venezuelans never walk anywhere. Going somewhere without a car feels dangerous. Oh and in big cities,

They have a national registry that you need to subscribe to if you are a miner. That and you also need to keep in handy your customs paperwork to prove that you paid entry duties for the equipment. Otherwise you open yourself to police exto

I'm sorry but I currently live in Venezuela and what you are saying is wrong. Very few places in Caracas or hotels will actually take USD for payment since it is considered illegal unless you go through the regular channels with the id

I don't think Wikipedia should be used for political activism like this, especially when one does not even live in the EU. I find this a bit offensive since if Europe ends up being a media dictatorship, why on earth do other people in

Although I'm a big fan of Linus, it is unfair to say that he created the whole platform. I would argue that there is a big percentage of US contributed code to it and don't get me started on the GNU/Linux thing

Just get a Vega 64 AMD and see how you fare. Oh and no AMD wattman for you either. I use Linux, but it does have limitations, especially when it comes to compatible hardware (mostly due to the manufacturer releasing no/bad drivers) and

I know people hate to admit it and create these fancy terms for ages old behavior. Procrastinate is being lazy,as simple as that. Reading news and watching YouTube videos while you are getting paid to do work is being lazy with a capital L.

Can we all agree is bad form to share paywall links here? No, I don't want to resort to any hacks since it is stealing but this is literally advertising for the WSJ at this point.

Same here. This should not be allowed.

I really hope so. This is a beautiful country that deserves better. Oil has made us rich and now screwed us up in a massive way.

In this case I can assure you the US had little to do with the economic collapse. The reason why the economy went down the drain was because of an extreme currency control. Just months after Maduro got ahold of power, he got rid of the only

Agreed and nice overview btw of the food situation. The main woes started because of the draconian laws I mentioned and plain ugly politics. Since the majority of the private sector was against Chavez policies, they were deemed "the en

The Orinoco Belt is composed of extra heavy crude or heavy crude, not oil sands, which is where shale comes from. While not having the same profitability as light crude, it is still better than shale. One of the big impact of the cost of Ve
