Thanks for the link; This was something I wanted to see.

All in all, I doubt that number is entirely accurate. Argentina is a _very_ large country, and even the minimum price varies greatly depending on the region.

I have family in Patagonia, for instance, and they tell me it's impossible to get the cheap milk brand over there.

> Most of the money was used to pay the debt from Kirchner's government

Do _you_ have a source on _that_?

Anyway, here's a source [1] for you. It says in the month before the elections, the central bank of Argentina sold over 4 billion dollars to keep the dollar rate at bay (2.7 billion _just_ in the week prior..

Between the "PASO" (Elections where all candidates can postulate, but only those that get over a certain % of votes do make it to the primaries) and the primaries, more than 20 billion dollars were sold in the internal market:

> Desde las PASO las reservas cayeron USD 23.000 millones y los depósitos, unos USD 13.000 millones

(Im' quoting the article here). Where is YOUR source.

We have a very crooked political caste. I'm giving this as an example; I don't want to get into a political discussion. But in the last government alone, we received around 50 billion dollars from the FMI also alone, that was entirely dilapidated.

> local street market had signs posted by the local government that mandated prices-in order to curb inflation. That was a first for me, seeing vendors unable to set their own prices

I'm sorry, could you be more specific about what it is what you saw?

There are no "government mandated prices" in this country, at least not like you make it sound(Apologies upfront if I miss understood you).

There is a government program where all big market have to carry products where their price is fixed by the government. The idea is that you can always have the chance to go for a cheap product if you are poor, but it's not for instance that all milk brands have to have the same price.

And milk can get pretty expensive pretty fast in this country: It always come in 1 litre recipients, and the cheapest one (The one that is within the mentioned program) is right now at ~70 pesos (Some 73 dollar cents at the official dollar price, 40 cents at the current rate for the dollar in the back market... but foreigners can hardly get this price for their dollars).

I don't know what the prices are in other countries, but I think tourists will find prices rather high compared to their countries once tourism starts again.

Me neither.

Whatever you think of union, take this into account: You shouldn't be basing your opinions on your biases. Replace "Union Literature" with:

- Soccer Literature

- LGBT+ Literature

- Harry Potter Literature

Do you agree with all this to also be confiscated would it be freely distributed at work?

Rust seems to be all the rages these days (Specially here in HN). Besides that, most of the post on Rust also have the word fast in it (Or a similar word related to the speed of the software).

There are a few comments / questions about yeast in the cooments. According to this [1], quoting:

    Abdala, basado en la formulación de la proteína RBD (Dominio de Unión al Receptor) recombinante adyuvado en hidróxido de aluminio, emplea la proteína que se expresa en la levadura Pichia pastori, con un diseño que utiliza el RBD ACE 2, es decir, es el motivo que une al receptor y a través del cual el virus penetra a la célula e infecta al individuo.

Abdala, based in the formulation of the RDB protein (receptor binding domain) adjuvanted* recombinant* in aluminum hydroxide, employs / uses the protein that expresses in Pichia Pastori yeast, with a design that uses the RDB AC 2, meaning, is the motiv that unites the receptor and thru wich the virus penetrates the cell and infects the subject.

* & * I don't even know what these words mean in Spanish. I used G Translate for these 2 (I'm obviously way out of my pay grade here)

According to this [1] it's cultivated in yeast:

> Su cultivo se realiza en células de levadura, lo que la diferencia de "Soberana 2"

"Iit's cultivated in yeats, what differentiates it from 'Soberana 2' " (Another Cuban vaccine)

Wait for INTERPOL to show up at your door any time now :P

When I was ~14 yo, my father used to get his friends over most nights.

They were usually 1 or 2, and they would stay for dinner.

One of those nights my younger brother brought some sort of survey from school, regarding the family and related assorted questions.

I think it's important to note that every night my father and his friends would down a couple bottles of cheap wine.

So, my father got to the task of filling the survey, with the assistance of his friends.

Eventually he got to a question where he had to fill his current occupation.

¡Malviviente!* yelled my father, and he and friends burst out in drunken laughter.

He filled the question with such answer.

He - and my mother - were promptly summoned by the school to explain that answer. Rest assured my mom was not pleased at all.

* This word can be roughly translated to thug, but taken literally can mean "One that does not live well".

Paraphrasing, "Git is the worst distributed version control system... except all the others".

With an exception made of Mercury - that according to people (I never used it) was in points better than Git -, git swept the floor with the competition, with a "little" help from Github.

The reality is that today you can't really separate git from Github.

Regarding your link, and to answer your question, my position is that Git is like the PHP of version control.

The barrier to entry is so, so low, that not enough people care about learning it right / properly /enough (Myself included)

(The difference being that I can goople myself out of a problem pretty much every time). Also, I do make a pretty basic use of git, and it's been years since I screwed up. Worst case scenario I need to fix a merge conflict with code from one of my colleagues (That I hate to fix, because it doesn't happen often enough as for myself to remember how to interpret the diffs)

Anecdotally, I was the person responsible for the adoption of Git in my company, some 13 years ago. We were really struggling back then to get SVN working for distributed version control.

We never looked back.

While vacancies have stayed relatively flat.

Guess the IT crowd is _really_ unhappy about going back to the office.

I have an 8 yo that _really_ wants to do videos. Just this morning, she helped her mother cook the meal, but she wanted to roleplay as if she was recording a YT video like the ones she watches.

It was honestly hilarious - I was HW just across a door - but at the same time frightening when you think about how much this new media permeates our society.

P.S.: Having already lost the war with my daughters from a previous marriage, we are fighting tooth and nail with this one regarding technology access. But boy, even for 2 grown ups it is really hard to fight a kid in this war.

Without even commenting on the design, hiding the urls is a dark pattern.

Windows + NVIDIA only.

"one of one" or "one by one"?

This link is paywalled.

I think we're starting to see the beginning of LAAS (Life as a Service)/s

This is getting utterly ridiculous.

Well, it's a slow Sunday. How's yours going?

I don't mind explaining something in more detail, just let me know what.

I didn't meant that literally.

> The solution to your problem is entirely in your hands, just hit that uninstall button

Well, you might be correct here, but still having automatic updates as a paid feature seems a bit excessive.

Applying your logic, having to paid for such a basic feature is madness.

Don't forget people found out about this in the worst case possible. Imaging starting to use the app, then they introduce a breaking change and when you go researching you find out that you have to pay for avoiding breaking updates.

People didn't "ask for this feature".

People asked for the feature to be disabled. There was a lengthy discussion in GH [0] aptly named "Please don't upgrade docker without asking first" few months back regarding why this shouldn't happen (auto updates, that is).

Considering that the team that codes the software acknowledged they screwed up [1] having to pay for this I have to agree with the comment that says this amounts to ransomware. "Pay us or risk getting f*ked up by our updates".

TL;DR: They are being accused of ad fraud, without any evidence provided, and they are asked to reply with an analysis of why they think their traffic ?? is legit (when they have no idea what is it that Google considered "not legitimate").

The biggest issue here I don't think is the malware tag, but the ad fraud accusation.

Even thought as somebody pointed out the page linked can be biased, based only on what they state and the emails from Google, this is another case of David Against (automated) Goliath.

From my point of view this is just another drop in the pound of what is already being built as a case against Google (and also Apple) for monopoly.

P.S.: I've used Droidscript in the past, and I do think it's too powerful an app that can be abused. But that happens to a lot of things in life, right?

Exactly this. Joplin kinda blows the competition out of the water in every aspect.

The sync works flawlessly and this is one of the strongest features it has.

I set it up using WebDAV and never ever had to worry about it working.

This is an excellent post. Bear in mind it's a transcription of a podcast episode (And my advise would be to hear it).

The last time this one was on HN it got me hooked on podcasts. 99% is usually of a good quality, but this episode was just too good.

I understood that reference.

For me, the biggest issue I have is book ratings on Amazon.

Besides companies - and small time authors - paying for good ratings, you have a similar amount of people that genuinely bought the book, giving 1 start ratings because of whatever quality of the book manufacture, be it physical or digital.

One of these two alone would not be difficult to manage, but having to deal the two makes it almost unbearable to find out the proper rating. We should start giving ratings ratings.

Yep, there are usually a lot of "piggybacking" (This comment is not mean spirited, just stating a fact) in HN. I made a similar comment a while back [1]

Obviously this is highly anecdotal, but for the 5 years that I lived in Spain, I was a regular drug user.

With the exception made of MDMA & speed (That I'll consume both on occasions) I was consuming weed, hash and mushrooms on a weekly basis.

And everybody on a certain group of friends was doing the same. We had a surplus of mushrooms, as we had somebody in our group (A neurobiologist) growing them.

13 years ago I came back to Argentina, and then stopped consuming cold turkey.

> Responsible drug users are invisible to society

Even more so, _nobody_ wants to hear about responsible drug users, because that'll contradict the general discourse.
