El Salvador's #Bitcoin investments are in the black!

After literally thousands of articles and hit pieces that ridiculed our supposed losses, all of which were calculated based on #Bitcoin’s market price at the time...

With the current #Bitcoin market price, if we were to sell our #Bitcoin, we would not only recover 100% of our investment but also make a profit of $3 620 277.13 USD (as of this moment).

Of course, we have no intention of selling; that has never been our objective. We are fully aware that the price will continue to fluctuate in the future, this doesn’t affect our long-term strategy.

Nonetheless, it is important that the naysayers and the authors of those hit pieces take back their statements. The responsible thing to do would be for them to issue retractions, offer apologies, or, at the very least, acknowledge that El Salvador is now yielding a profit, just as they repeatedly reported that we were incurring losses.

If they consider themselves true journalists, they should report this new reality with the same intensity they reported the previous one.

We’ll see… Stay tuned!

LO QUE OPINO DE LA REFORMA A LA SALUD

La polémica #ReformaALaSalud que hoy podría quedar aprobada en la Cámara de Representantes sigue siendo el tema principal en Colombia, a falta de las futuras discusiones en el Congreso.

Desde la presentación del proyecto a inicios de año mostré mi inconformidad porque considero que echa por la borda más de tres décadas de aprendizajes con el aseguramiento actual, posición que reafirmo.

Está claro que nuestro sistema no es perfecto y que necesita varios cambios, pues tiene una gran deuda con la salud preventiva, pero hechos como el aumento de la cobertura universal, con el 95% de la población asegurada y brindando acceso a atención médica a poblaciones vulnerables y de bajos ingresos, deben valorarse.

A hoy, nuestro sistema tiene uno de los gastos de bolsillo (es decir, lo que pagan los ciudadanos por utilizar los servicios médicos) más bajos de la región, con un 17% del gasto total en salud.

El sistema actual enfrenta una gran dificultad en la imposibilidad de alcanzar la sostenibilidad financiera, sobre todo por el incremento de gastos por fuera el Plan de Beneficios en Salud (POS). Esto podría abordarse desde una gestión integral del riesgo, el fortalecimiento del componente primario en salud, la gestión regulatoria, la transparencia en la contratación y el control eficaz de costos.

Pero eso no es lo que plantea la reforma del Gobierno del presidente Petro. En ella no existe un análisis profundo sobre los problemas de sostenibilidad del sistema ni se establece la viabilidad financiera del proyecto (MinHacienda aclara que no tiene la información necesaria para determinarlo).

No se trata solo de realizar giros directos a los prestadores, ni que se hagan en un 85% sin auditorías que avalen dichos pagos. Eso impide una contención real y estimula la facturación por evento.

El Pacífico colombiano se compone de 4 departamentos. En 2022, los 4 sumaron el 13,2% del PIB nacional y son el 16,2% de la población nacional. La región posee un gran potencial de inversión dados sus recursos naturales, ubicación estratégica y su diversidad cultural, pero...

De Israel viene:
El fusil principal de los soldados de Colombia

Entre otros. Muchos otros ejemplos.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆

The recent document by engineers from Facebook explains how they wrote a tool that can automatically fix bugs. In the paper, they introduced 𝗦𝗔𝗣𝗙𝗜𝗫, an automated tool designed to detect and repair bugs in software. The tool has suggested fixes for six essential Android apps in the Facebook App Family: Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, FBLite, Workplace, and Workchat.

How Does It Work?

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: Detect a Crash - Another tool, 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇, finds app crashes. When Sapienz identifies a crash, it is logged into a database.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: Identify the Problem - SAPFIX pinpoints the exact line of code causing the issue. It first checks if the crash is reproducible. If it's not reproducible, the crash is discarded. It uses a technique called "spectrum-based fault localization" to identify the most likely lines of code responsible for the crash.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: Suggest a Fix - Using predefined templates or code mutations, SAPFIX proposes a solution. After identifying the fault location, SAPFIX attempts to generate a patch. It employs two strategies:

🔹 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴: SAPFIX uses predefined templates to suggest fixes for common bugs. These templates are designed based on standard developer practices.

🔹 𝗠𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗻𝗴: SAPFIX resorts to a mutation-based system if the template-based approach fails. It systematically applies a series of code mutations to the fault location to generate potential fixes.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: Test the Fix - The proposed solution is tested to ensure it's valid. It uses the test cases from 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇 to check the validity of the patch. If the patch passes all tests, it's considered a good fix. After patch validation, SAPFIX uses 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿 (a static analysis tool) to analyze the proposed fix further. Infer checks if the patch introduces any new potential issues.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: Review - Developers get the final say, reviewing and approving the fix.

As a Salvadoran with Palestinian ancestry, I'm sure the best thing that could happen to the Palestinian people is for Hamas to completely disappear.

Those savage beasts do not represent the Palestinians.

Anyone who supports the Palestinian cause would make a great mistake siding with those criminals.

It would be like if Salvadorans would have sided with MS13 terrorists, just because we share ancestors or nationality.

The best thing that happened to us as a nation was to get rid of those rapists and murderers, and let the good people thrive.

Palestinians should do the same: get rid of those animals and let the good people thrive.

That's the only way forward.
