With every new publication Wikileaks just confirms it's now just an agency of the Russian Goverment whose purpose it's to undermine the confidence of the american people in their institutions.

I'm from Nicaragua and this is new to me. But it does not surprise me. The ruling party have made billions from Venezuelan oil. They control the import, distribution and final sale of gas to customers. It's not in their interest to change the energy sources.

Internally there's have been development in renewal energy, but these have been done by investors close to the Government and they mostly sale each watt as it was produced from bunker. This is possible because they own all the energy business in the country.

This kind of actions are important now more than ever for western societies. We have to remember that Russia is committed to destroy democratic institutions using fake news as one of its tools. Using fake news is an old trick to distort reality. In the pass it was done controlling state media or a good part of it. Now is making it into your Facebook feed.

If this results to be true, this could be one of the most expensive bugs in computer history.

For anyone who may want to know, prion diseases are sciencetific possible causes of a Zombie Apocalypse. That's why this new called my attention.

Same happened to me, but the second dentist told I had 16 cavities. That was just 3-4 months after a dentist told I had none.

I felt something in my stomach when they implied that people who actually don't care about security are the ones who buys Android phones.

I would like to add that maybe the problem are not the [micro|macro]-loans, but people. Loans are basic bricks for an economic development in any society. Sadly, they can't save a bad business from failure.

So my point is that maybe a poor borrower investing in a bad business will end up poorer. Other scenario, mentioned in the article, are poor people lending money for non productive expenses.

A basic financial advice applies here: Invest in a productive business and try not to borrow money for non productive expenses.

Why this quote is the highest ranking comment is beyond me...

You could also publish on Android or the web and have access to a "the global audience".

Comparing the App Store with 20 years old methods is a fallacy. To be realistic you should compare using the Android/Mozilla/Windows/Web distribution methods.

I could say that the article is written by the average European wannabe-socialist "intellectual". I convince myself of it when I read "luxury buses". This is the typical hate argument of any wannabe socialist.
