Fiscal deficit. That is the main reason by far of Dollar's destruction. Everything else is wrong or over-thinking.

No.

Agile core is the feedback loop. I can't believe people still don't get it. Feedback from reality is always faster than guessing on the air.

Waterfall is never great. The only time when you need something else than Agile is when lives are at stake, you need there formal specifications and rigorous testing.

SDD allows better output than traditional programming. It is similar to waterfall in the sense that the model helps you to write design docs in hours instead of days and take more into account as a result. But the feedback loop is there and it is still the key part in the process.

Roadster will replace S

Lets call them buses instead of minibuses and each one has the same capacity of a wagon.

Instead of 10 formations of 6 wagons you have 60 buses.

You have same capacity and one third of traveling time per ride.

I don't know why I was downvoted for just asking a question.

I don't get it. Suppose this scenario:

- Instead of big formations, replace each wagon with an electric minibus. - Instead of stopping in all stations, each minibus stops in, lets say 3 or 4. - Each passenger checks into the bus dinamically assigned to their stop. - Minibuses can surpass each other.

You have less dwell time, each ride is reduced to one third of the time.

At the risk of being näive, Why Tube trains are still a thing?

I want underground mini buses, optimizing their stops to the passengers' inside. Most of we passengers go to hub stations.

Tubes are like a 100-year old tech without remarkable changes.

Check better.

Pinochet was a bloody dictator who left the power willingly and callibg elections. Something Maduro wasn't willing to do in +20 years.

Just a few I found in 5 minutes:

We are talking about 20% of the population here. A massive wave. They would be impoverished, imprisoned or dead have they not fled. Hard to believe people who stayed are happy about this.

But check the news, the web, talk to people objectively.I can be wrong, but I think the evidence is overwhelming, statistically speaking.Check for yourself.

They would be impoverished, imprisoned or dead have they not fled. Hard to believe people who stayed are happy about this. And exilees are 20% of Venezuela's population. It was a massive wave.

Venezuela was not a sovereign state, it wasn't people's will at all to have Maduro as head of state, rather the opposite is true.

It is a totally different business to invade a sovereign state like Mexico or Brazil. Something akin to what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Venezuela was not a sovereign state, it wasn't people's will at all to have Maduro as head of state, rather the opposite is true.

As I have mentioned, we can only guess the real motivation behind this.

Ask people from Venezuela, check the web, the news. They are the main players in all this.

I don't know about Russia, maybe their economy didn't collapse as Venezuela's did. But I really don't know.

Maduro lost elections. 8 millions of exilees can't love him. And I interact daily with exilees. There are already videos if people celebrating in Caracas and all over the World. You can disagree. It is hard to believe narco dictators have too much love from people anyway.

I don't think oil has something to do with this. As I have mentioned I think the main reason is the cartel has become too powerful and menacing, controlling three countries and expanding.

I agree it is not clear.

My guess is drugs, not because Trump cares, but because they had become too powerful, controlling Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, as well as a wide net of politicians.

Whatever you and I say about this are educated guesses.

He wasn't the president. My educated guess is that with Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, together with China support cartel become too powerful. They systematicallly buy politicians in México, Spain, Colombia, probably Brazil and Argentina. They expanded too much. But again, it is just speculation.

I never said that. I said that a wide majority of Venezolans are happy and this was barely mentioned in the comments.

I am not an expert but "Don't like" doesn't sound the same of multinational cartel organization overtaking countries, making 8 million people exilees.

Most people from Venezuela are happy Maduro is out. This is my main concern. Besides that I only have educated guesses.

Full diaclosure: I am from Argentina. I interact daily with exilees from Venezuela. They are coworkers, they drive my Uber. They are totally happy about this.

About trust and respect, I don't see any change. Leftist will keep their mantra and Normal people will mind their business.

About the 'master plan'. No one commenting here really knows. As I mentioned to avoid criminal cartels controlling three countries and spreading it is not something I would discard. Imagine if they get nukes. Or they can start to systematicallly buy politicians in USA, as they do in Mexico.

At some point is what you believe, but based on lost elections and literally millions of exiled people.

A wide majority of Venezolans are happy with having Maduro out.

I am not saying USA did this for the people.

I am saying that a wide majority of Venezolans are totally happy about this and most people here aren't concerned about this at all. They just want to talk about their pet political point.

About what are the reasons behind this I (and most people commenting here) can only have educated guess, but I wouldn't discard so easily to weaken cartels as a reason. It is the third (Cuba and Nicaragua the others) Country they got to totally control and the most important and they are powerful and organized enough to keep spreading, and they are supported by China.

1. Most people from Venezuela are happy Maduro is out. A striking difference with people from Ukraine about the invasion. This is the most important thing about this and most people here in comments ignore it.

2. Maduro wasn't even the president. He was someone who took the country illegally with cartel people.

3. Why? Maduro was smuggling drugs in USA. Huge operations. And I guess there must be geopolitical reasons. You want China and Russia be there? And people from Venezuela were the biggest migration wave in the World last decades. You want millions of refugees?
