AFAIK in Spain is all professional. We do have an emergencies military unit too (UME - Unidad Militar de Emergencias) which does mostly firefighting and disaster relief. The military also can build hospitals and such, and it happened under the pandemic, but it's not the UME but something else.
Small municipalities pool their resources, at least around my area.
The only voluntary service we have is the Red Cross and Protección Civil.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but professional emergency services are definitely common.
Yes but let's not forget that Cuba still has the ability to trade. There is even some trade with the US, but IDK the circunstances (It's in their statistics office annual report).
I mean, the (economic) problem Cuba has is internal, not external. There isn't much that Cuba has to offer as value, except their geographical position and maybe some cheap labor medics.
They've got virtually free resources from Venezuela (not viable any longer) and other "allies". But even there it isn't like they trade a lot with China or Russia, to mention two examples.
They get plenty of dollars and euros through tourism (with EU companies that gladly help) yet they don't really invest it or do much productive with it.
If Cuba really tried to be self-sustainable as they claim, why they don't buy some machinery to improve their productivity, they have plenty of supliers outside US-EU.
And by the way, if you want to jump over the US embargo is not that difficult to open another company or just sell through a 3rd party and make information opaque, which is already being done right now by the way.
Cuba is just a "chapuza" as we say in spanish. A mess, with a caste of people who barely manages to justify their existance, and keep control over the population so revolts don't happen. It's just that this time they can't really have much control of the situation.
You can access onei.gob.cu to check all that. It's a bit tricky to get access from outside Cuba. I can access with my home connection but not with mobile one.
I don't know, but my city airport is small, so it's pretty much arriving and boarding. Now barajas is another history but I doub't ill be there for much more than 30 mins.
Trains take a lot more time, even HSR. I'm going to Madrid in the near future and I don't think I'll take a train, it's at least 6+ hours, and most of it is HSR.
Knime is way more powerful, but it requires more learning too. It has nodes for programming (R & Python, and I'm pretty sure it has something with JAVA) your own transformation if you want to integrate complex stuff, but it's very capable out of the box.
Excel has PowerQuery too, which is very nice but you hit the ceiling pretty easy. Knime eats a lot of data down the throat with modest PC, Excel really struggles with large datasets, not matter how you use or tune PowerQuery.
I know here in HN people talk down visual programming, but I've done pretty heavy and complicated stuff with it. It would be way more complicated with pandas.
Yeah. Your ISP may connect the BTS by a fiber link, or radio link, or it may have X or Y simultaneous users, etc. There's a lot of elements in the chain.
What would be interesting is that apparently a 5G BTS can deal with a lot more users simultaneously, so ISPs may connect them with 2.5G links and provide decent speed of all of them, alleviating saturation problems.
I didn't notice on any of them, but I notice the struggle of being constantly under attack, that's right. I mean, I do notice myself, being a kind of materialist and utilitarian social-democrat in country with a leftist social majority.
Well, maybe a bit of depression for those who have a softer personality.
Well, but it does. People loses their job. Maybe you didn't but you know someone who did, or a public figure you like.
Also, it affects personal relationships. It's amazing how my conservative friends unload their thoughts on me, because thy are afraid to speak frankly with other people.
This. It's 2021. Release something or just shut up. A potato quality video from a fighter that clearly has way better video and capabilities is not gonna cut it for me, sorry.
You're not the only one. I've seen this behavior in other projects. The patter was also similar as you described.
In my company we had some people trying to get this stuff into our corporate mail, thankfully there was enough pushback to keep the corporate mail corporate.
Also, I'd rather worry about stuff in my country than american internal affairs.
He does. Same concerns are arising in Spain as in France. American discourses are introduced through social media and this weird feedback loop some academics have with US universities.
It's still not in mainstream but there's a growing resentment against this phenomena in some intellectual/political circles.
There's a development here in Spain that seems pretty interesting for range-extenders, by InnEngine. They seem to be in the prototype phase, it's also a pretty interesting design.
