I should probably point out that the vast majority of people that live in cities could hardly qualify to be called white collar elite.

The work at the factory is working wonders for the economy of Mexico and China. Add to that, the fact that US labor laws are pretty strict and you should have a steady source of jobs right there. I'm sorry but bringing back the jobs is

His assertion also made me curious. There seems to be a slight bias in favor of Slim at the NYT though. Just read that article, it does portray the version from the other party, but always allowing for a proper justification for Slim's

It takes almost zero effort to implement Piwik instead of giving all your data to Google. A simple donate button will take care of the costs of a $15 per month shared server for this purpose. Really that is all it takes. Everything else jus

The problem is that there won't be any collapse per se. Maybe a default on government paying its international debt or something. What is slowly happening here is that this is morphing into another Cuba, where you will see the vast maj

Don't get me wrong, I too believe the exchange control is really bad. I certainly did not enjoy assembling the stupid folders and God knows how many trips to the bank. My main point was that what Maduro is doing almost makes the other

Totally agree here. There is a lesson to be learned from all this stuff going on here. Think about France during the French revolution. If it weren't for the revolution being an organic movement, but more like another power that took c

According to the govt here that was incomplete information released by JPMorgan. Apparently people have started receiving payments as of today. But I don't doubt that if this inflation rate keeps rising, something like that will happen

But actually Venezuela is one of the countries where at this price level, production is still profitable. Check this link out, where they explain the concept in detail: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29643612 If Vene

Err no, we can actually solve this issue ourselves. It was about to happen about 3 weeks ago actually. We just need the massive street demonstrations again and it will end. I think international interference in this kind of issues end up ca

You mean the armed thugs. Calling them paramilitary forces gives them too much dignity. They are thugs on bikes that will probably end up dead by the time they reach their 30s.

It is madness, and the govt was about to fall 3 weeks ago, but to this day, millions of people like me still do not understand why the opposition sat down to negotiate anything with the govt during Vatican sponsored talks, and in turn, ende

I think the oil companies would disagree with you. Even with electric cars and whatnot, look up the figures, oil consumption around the world just keeps increasing, and more to the point, some nations are running out of it, at least for exp

Actually the banks are slowly realizing that. They have made it impossible to open new savings accounts for instance.

Agreed. I heard there is a bunch of actual racism going on in Chile precisely for those reasons, but I guess it mostly happens at the upper echelons and with certain people with poor educational backgrounds.

I believe the problem here, more than oil prices, is mismanagement of an epic proportion. In Venezuela way too many things are either free or subsidized. You get free college for kids arriving on fancy SUVs, public hospital infrastucture ro

Sorry, I'm not biased politically, which is kind of a rare thing these days here I guess. I am able to see good things both in a guy like Leopoldo Lopez and Chavez as well. Just ask yourself if you can do the same. But on to the point.

Nobody is going to kill anybody unless they are paid for thugs. The National Assembly has the opposition in control by a vast majority after the latest election. Maduro and friends are in deep crap and they know it, which is why they have b

To be honest, Venezuela was doing great during Chavez because the guy as much as he was Trump like in his rethoric, was no fool. As soon as Maduro took power, he created massive chaos in the foreign currency exchange system, and he kept tam

I worked for the government years ago and can totally tell you these idiots are convinced they are doing a good thing. Main reasons for these problems are currency exchange controls and price controls, especially for a country with a lot of

I think maybe you get that in Bolivia or Peru. Venezuela is vastly different in the "metzo aborigin" stuff you are talking about, whatever that is. The vast majority of the population is mestizo, that is brown if you want a better

I currently live in Venezuela and I'm lucky enough to work both with my own local business and with income in foreign currency. People like me are having a field day here, mostly because inflation does not affect you directly when you

This all good and nice for Google saving a few bytes, but how on earth are you supposed to specify page language with this scheme for instance.

The difference between what you are doing and what desktop UI has always enjoyed is a component system that works flawlessly. The Web Components specification is a good step forward in this regard, but as many people have pointer out, try t

It is a good idea because you reduce the learning curve for end-users of application by the use of common controls. Think about the MS-DOS era, and then Windows came along, with the ubiquitous F1 key everywhere, Ctrl-P and Ctrl-S, not to me

But you should really compare these with modern desktop UI development. Anchors are awesome in .NET and don't get me started with Java layouts. UI design truly is better on the desktop side. Maybe it will be more difficult for a design

From a javascript point of view, React is great, but I wholeheartedly disagree on the CSS modules. What React did here breaks the whole purpose of CSS, even if it is messy, not to mention that now designers need to have help from programmer

You still need to use Express or something similar on the server side for Javascript, I mean, if we are talking about standard procedures here. Plus with React, you are still doing that Javascript/CSS thingy and HTML of course at some
