I don't think anyone seriously thinks that this corona virus can exterminate the human race. What this virus can do though is to cause market crashes and economic downturn.

Bernie?? Come on, he is unelectable. It is true that he has strong support amongst some weird marginalized demographics but outside of that group of devoted supporters he is very unpopular and has no chance to win. Elizabeth Warren is much more electable than Sanders. She is the only Dem who...

does this restriction apply to rental cars as well? E.g. is it possible to rent a car in BsAs and go on a trip which involves crossing the border with Chile?

Netflix, Hulu and Amazon are all pretty good at detecting commonly used VPNs. One needs to specifically shop for VPN which is "undetectable", not just any VPN.

There is locast.org They are not-for-profit and free to use; donations are welcome. Due to legal restrictions they provide content only to users located in geographical regions where they operate their antennas: Seattle, San Francisco and few other metro areas. However! They use chrome...

In case you're unaware -- credit card transactions are not free for a merchant or taxi driver. Many merchants just choose to swallow these fees (instead of passing onto customers) because accepting credit cards boosts sales and reduces burden of handling cash

I really enjoyed running in the Reserva Ecologica. Encountered tortoises on multiple occasions. One big problem with Reserva though is that it is not open until, I think, 8am which is too late in the summer heat. This is just one of the things that shocked me in Argentina -- everything opens...

Globant is just an outsourcing company. So this is their only way of making money -- selling labor for more money than they are paying. Outsourcing companies do not produce any value other than connecting employers and employees who can not otherwise be connected (e.g. due to immigration or...

large chunk of the US tax system is based on residence/domicile as well. "Green card" holders and people residing in the US on temporary visas (e.g. holders of H and L working visas) all must pay income taxes on their worldwide income. If "green card" holder makes an attempt to establish...

Drama intensifies.

this really depends on usage pattern and required coverage. 4000 pesos is 4 times more expensive than US$16 for Airalo eSIM

In case your phone supports eSIM: Airalo app (which offers data eSIMs for many countries) made their eSIMs available in Argentina. Pricing is USD$16 for 3Gb for 1 month.

What other Argentine carriers (besides Personal) support eSIM (for recent iPhones)? Update: I think I found the answer by myself: apparently it's only Personal https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209096

this is interesting but these milliseconds is latency from client to 5G tower. On top of that there is latency to destination/server. And if client is located in Argentina and server is in the US then latency is going to exceed 100 milliseconds no matter what. Also there is one (likely not...

I saw reports recently that Google Fi started to enforce their terms of service by kicking out customers who spend more than 6 months outside the US. By the way it is possible to buy US number with SMS support for much cheaper than $20 per month Google Fi requires. For instance, from...
