    Looking for a PC - fed up with Macs

    I think for most basic users seeing up a VMware solution is over the top and beyond current skill level. Windows works until it doesn't and usually it's just a turn it off and turn it back on again. People are also creatures of habit. If Windows is what they know they will stick to it. Much...

    Jujuy reported record mining royalty revenues in Q1 2026

    Worth noting is this comment "The secretary also defended the weight of lithium beyond royalties. In fact, he pointed out that the mining company Exar, the second in importance in the province, announced an investment of USD 1.240 million to double its production and argued that that capital...

    Why Peter Thiel Is Decamping to the End of the World

    One could move to Texas, Florida or a list of other states if that was all it was.

    Myriam Bregman, the Trotskyist who is the Argentine politician with the best image

    I thought I read somewhere that although she had the highest image, polling only had 4% of the vote. I also think that there is major generational divide when it comes to voting and path for the country. I also think that as much as some people want to verbalize there has been no changes, etc...

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    There are Chinese, Canadian, Australian and maybe others countries companies already operating and expanding their operations in Jujuy, Salta and Catamarca. Glencoe didn't own lithium mines in Argentina but I believe it has an agreement in place with at least one to source lithium which they...

    Empty shopfronts on rise in BA as retail crisis deepens

    I've asked to give me a list of names and to generate a logo for a food service. But other than that it's mainly just been short summaries at the top of a Google search. A friend was doing inventory by counting items in boxes in shelves and I was wondering if you could just take photos and...

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    I get it, but this has also happened throughout history. The industrial revolution, the mass production of the automobile, electricity and motors, improvements in agriculture technology, the internet and now AI. It is certainly a disruptive technology, but as we've already mentioned it seems to...

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    Makes total sense. That's the thought but I've never heard it put that way, as a reverse arbitrage. Interesting easy to put it. Unfortunately it is us plebs that will pay the learning curve price for layoffs and rehires and everything that occurs as a result.

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    Agree with all of it. It definitely has uses but whether it can currently justify the costs is another thing that you have rightly highlighted. I am curious how much of it is really for surveillance. Then again, Amazon kept reinvesting everything until finally "turning a profit" in 2016 or so...

    Argentina’s AI opportunity

    I guess time will tell. But they are popping up globally. With the gas field to run a natural gas plant in a generally cooler environment makes it fairly comparable to projects in Canada and an overall good choice. With Super RIGI doing the rounds in Congress now, I can see them waiting for...

    Empty shopfronts on rise in BA as retail crisis deepens

    That's really cool. I struggle to actually find uses for it so it's cool to hear practical examples.

    Public transportation in the works

    Once a system is installed, its there. maybe just a few routes but that's it, so whether they get stuck for a few hours or not won't change anything. The decision for whatever reason ages ago was made when there was less traffic and road users. Now cities have largely over grown their road...

    Public transportation in the works

    Cool. These are much smaller and different routes than the TramBus project in the originl post but still cool. I'd hate to get stuck behind one though at 12 km/h. My pet peeve is related to: 1) The interruption during construction. Installing new streets has been disasters in some places to...

    Yup. Where I am I see the same, otherwise the rent is too expensive.
