No it didn't. The foreign debt didn't move an inch. If you needed to sell 1.5 billion oil barrels to repay your foreign debt at $65/barrel, you still need to sell 1.5 billion oil barrel to repay your foreign debt. No change there.

On the other hand, all the debt that was issued in bolivars is basically void since a loaf of bread is now worth more than several millions bolivars. All savings are lost, pensions are worth nearly nothing and anyone who trusted the Venezuelan government by buying bonds and/or financing their projects by lending bolivars is fucked.

This moves allow Venezuela to technically erase around 1/3 of it's debt, hoping that will allow them to not default on the part that is due in foreign currencies, but scarifying it's own population in the process. Fun times.

The main challenge, in my opinion, is volume.

The future of online betting is exchange marketplaces, where users/members can both back and lay event outcomes. This removes the reliance of a central player (bookmaker/sportsbook) to support the lay side of the market. Overlays are generally much smaller on exchanges.

However, to achieve this and also to support "trading" (multiple back and lay bets in the same market, based on in-play price movements), an exchange needs a high volume. Betfair is the best known exchange and has serious first mover advantage. I'm currently looking at the England vs India 3rd Test cricket Match Odds and over GBP44 million has been traded on that market alone. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace tonight, GBP700k and there's still four hours until kickoff. The 15.05 Thirsk 7f horse race, currently in-play and GBP650k volume.

All of Betfair's competitors to date have really struggled with this aspect. Betdaq, Smarkets, Matchbook, no matter how good their service offering or how low their commission, haven't been able to attract the same level of betting volume and are thus not as attractive as Betfair. A little bit chicken and egg scenario to be sure.

Anyway, in my view the biggest hurdle Augur will need to clear is that of market volume.
Eh, it's a step forward, I wouldn't call it a great one. A great step forward would be to remove all this complicated runtime garbage and keep things simple. GNUStep App Bundles, ROX AppDirs, and AppImage are much better ideas, if you ask me, and the wide adoption of one of those would be a great step forward.

I go back and forth on this one.

On one hand I think it would make things much simpler for users who have enough storage and bandwidth.

On the other, when there is a vulnerability in a major library we would have to wait for every application to be updated, if they're even being maintained.

The thing is that package managers have mostly abstracted away the headaches of dependency hell, but have also raised the barrier to entry, so any software not participating seems suspect.
The most tragic and ironical sales I've ever witnessed. 99$ Firesale of touchpads made them an instant success, people were buying them at 300 or above the following monthes.

I sold one years later for 90$~
Now you have bragging rights for 2027.
I had a very poor experience with a Lenovo-authorized repair shop in Victoria, Canada who replaced the display on my then-brand new T420 when it failed but somehow managed to force the bottom case back together in a way that left 2-3 mm gaps at various spots and cracked the plastic in a few places.

Lenovo refused to replace it.

But, they don't. Lots use Debian’s, for instance.

Had a similar experience with flatpack. Installed some software 2 days ago and yesterday flatpak told me it is not installed. Teething problems i guess.
Those are all areas where the parents/environment speak more than one language, though.
I use a X1 Carbon 2015 running Fedora 28 (Since I first installed Fedora 22)

You need to give Linux distros a few months to become mature enough to run flawlessly on newer hardware. I recall having displayport issues when I installed Fedora 22. Aside from that case, I can't remember the last time I've had issues.
Substitute "Reddit" for "Hacker News". Same difference.
I think sheer practice can help here--when I haven't interviewed for a while, I'm rusty at telling "my story," but once back in the process, it begins to flow again. (rusty flow?)
The technology has existed since the 80s, it's just that the stuff people are building today is ridiculously over complicating the solution. MacOS classic had simple single-file programs you just dragged and dropped anywhere you wanted on a disk and ran them. The same was true of DOS (it was a folder, but otherwise the same), RISCOS, NeXTStep and modern MacOS via NeXTStep.

Even Linux has had several: NeXTStep style Application Bundles in GNUStep, AppDirs in ROX filer, and AppImage today. They're just not over-engineered enough for the Linux Desktop community to embrace or something.

I will always sympathize with the side that does not enforce protection money (i.e. patent fees) upon others via violence (e.g. legal system).
One interesting thing I have noticed is that Thai food in Sweden (or at least Gothenburg) tastes almost nothing like Thai food in London. I wonder how much 'foreign' cuisines adapt to match local expectations.
