I think it relates to exchange rates. On 2001 1 US Dollar = 1 Argentinian Peso. On 2023 1 US Dollar = 185 Argentinian Pesos.

In truth, thing is much worst, because you wont get 1 US dollar anywhere (nor banks, financial orgs, or privates will sell it for that price). On the market is close to

1 US Dollar = 360 Argentinian Pesos.

I dont think that Senna can compare to Pele.

Are you referring to Twitter right?

19th century, or 2008. It’d be same.

I have seen a disproportionally bigger number of blowups of highly regulated industries, so does not seem like a strong argument IMO.

My 82 years old, disabled dad disagrees that this is a good idea.

Independent of the results, I find it truly amazing how fast results are available for the public. Literally every refresh shows hundreds of thousands of new votes already verified and counted.

South America and South Asia are not "free world"? What does that mean?

Turning away pacients? Really?

Not entirely sure if its a comparable case, but first thing that comes to my mind is 2011 PSN outage[1]. I guess any change of that magnitude should take an unprecedent effort to resolve.

19 billion dollars for WhatsApp. I cant think of a better deal than that on entire human history.

Maybe Google should label those experimental products more clearly, so users are aware and align expectations.

I was playing around a bit and it really looks promising! There's some key missing features (like, selecting multiple items) and bugs (ctrl + v not working for me at least), but as an MVP is remarkable. Thanks for sharing.

But Tim S. explicitly said that he did not ask for special treatment. This is just that.

randiantech — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:58:51 +0000

Although configuration can be a bit problematic at first, the benefits of using Storybook are clear. In my previous job, the typical question of "Is there a component for something like ?" was pretty much resolved going to Storybook and check for it.

New comment by randiantech in "Smokers quit in record numbers amid Covid fears"

randiantech — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 01:13:31 +0000

This is my case, although with a little caveat. I used to smoke 1 pack (20 cigars) per day, but right at the same time that I read that COVID-19 was more dangerous for smokers, my preferred brand (Gold Leaf) got discontinued. Im not superstitious, but this was kind of "Yeah, this is the moment". Was smoker for more than 15 years.

This. I was surprised a year ago or so when I last travel to US that Wap was not ubiquitous like in pretty much the rest of the world.
