    Electric Motor Scooters - Are they the future trend?

    For Jakarta, perhaps something with a battery swap option? One of the things that prevent people from getting EVs (2-wheeled or 4-wheeled) is range anxiety.

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    Point taken, I am only taking references since I do not earn my money through social media and/or creative remote work. Absolutely, but that's also why a lot of social media influencers make money from merchandise, selling online courses, and selling e-books. I think that can be true if you...

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    heheh well you also no longer make $1500/month maximum :D I think you might be underestimating your earning potential in Indonesia. It's true that the same level of position would earn far less in Indonesia than in the US. But you can probably get a job several levels higher than what you're...

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    The digital nomads who are the subject of this discussion don't have employers who pays for their accommodation. US$5 = IDR 80,000. Bubur ayam or Lontong sayur or nasi uduk in the morning = IDR 20,000. Bakmie ayam/nasi padang/soto ayam/fried rice = IDR 20,000. Sate ayam, babi guling = IDR...

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    Of course you would never have moved out of a beach town for 1500USD. But you can't argue the fact that when your needs are simple, and a 1300 usd a month housing can be had for 400 USD a month (and loving the accommodations), you have 1100 USD a month left over for food (which can be had for 5...

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    Yeah that's true. In my experience working in consulting, I see people getting >$1000 and <$2500 in mid level management of international companies, a pretty senior (>10 years of experience) consultant working for a consulting company, engineers and analysts at companies (>10 years of...

    Twitter Wars: Bali vs. Kristen Gray

    To give some context, minimum wage in Bali is US$175/month. A solid middle class income salaried worker can earn maybe US$800-1500/month. Working as a freelancer in Fiver.com or freelancer.com or other platforms, if you earn $100/day x 22 work days a month = $2200/month income. If the...

    27yrs old from NZ been living Surabaya 1month

    @Will_M Perhaps you can share some of those suggestions for good pork, sushi and Indonesia's best burger :D @Mods, perhaps we can have a sticky thread or on the website that has recommendations of good places to go for various topics in various cities? Then we can have a voting system where...

    firearms in Indonesia

    @Nimbus can you add the percentage of blacks vs whites living in low income or high crime neighborhoods? I believe the disproportionate numbers you brought up are valid, but what's always been missing is the context. The biggest context in my opinion is more the social conditions.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    But this is not the definition of comorbidity. Oxford Dictionary: " the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient. "

    Indonesia's new eVisa program.

    Hehe had to ask, just because this week (yesterday) I just experienced where I registered for something at a government institution on Friday. On Monday, I was unable to do anything about it with the downstream department. Apparently the latest list that included us on Friday have not been...

    Indonesia's new eVisa program.

    Will the immigration check points have access to this system so when you present the email print out and your passport they know where to check? ;)

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Wrong assumption that this will ever be the case. There is a very clear definition of what comorbidity is. Someone who have pneumonia that will then have their lung functions further degraded by corona virus will have been correctly identifies as dying from the effects of COVID-19 Sigh.. I know...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    For me it's not difficult to grasp the concept of why SARS-CoV-2 is a dangerous virus causing COVID-19 related deaths: it's highly contagious, think of pink eye, or some strains of flu that in some years seems to spread quicker and wider than in other years its impact to one's health on its own...

    Omnibus Jobs Bill

    I'd hire people permanently if the system was not debilitating for a bootstrapped start up company. I can't even fire someone for gross misconduct without having to pay severance pay.

    Omnibus Jobs Bill

    Maybe my Indonesian isn't that good, but I read the labor law part of the omnibus and it doesn't seem like the workers are getting screwed? What is it that they're protesting against, really?

    Indonesian Electric Bike Laws Inquiry

    I believe you do. It will be in the traffic laws (Undang Undang Lalu Lintas) where it defined what a motorcycle is. Anything that is not self propelled and goes over 25km/hour (double check these) is classified as a motorized vehicle. And you need to have a license, and you need to register...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I'm not sure whether this is going to fall on deaf ears, or perhaps it's something you haven't considered. Two reasons why I would wear a mask these days: 1. in case others are carriers of the virus without showing symptoms, I don't want to get sick. I can't afford to get sick since I need to...

    I would love for SARS-CoV-2 to be a hypothetical virus... :D
