Living in Venezuela: After more than a year of official announcements about the petro, nobody knows what it is, nobody has ever bought, sold, owned nor seen one. Some people have sent other crypto to some sort of pre-sale, but never got any

Corbyn described Chavez as socialist, not Maduro. Maduro has undone the "socialist" stuff that Chavez had more or less enhanced like free healthcare and free education. Maduro certainly labels himself as socialist but, living in V

In some regions, especially close to the borders where there is lots of smuggling, it is hard to find gas. In Caracas you can buy as much as you want but I don't really see the point of having a full tanker truck on my garage lane.

Things have changed a lot since this was written in December. I live in Caracas, there's massive national food shortages. Now you can't have 3 meals a day for a month with 100€, and would spend quite some time finding it (on the b

I would add most programmers don't know some time zones have offsets in minutes. In ancient times, some were in seconds. I live in UTC-04:30 and regularly encounter bugs because of it.
