Every public-facing API service should have API usage limits. If this seems overkill then ask yourself if would it be OK if a single IP sends a million requests a second. This does not apply just to publicly documented services but even to undocumented services that are publicly accessible.
El Chaltén, a small town in Patagonia, Argentina is a hiking heaven. There are three major hiking paths in El Chaltén, and all of them are easily accessible from the town. One is located in the south, the other two are in the north-west and north-east side of the town, respectively. Here’s my recommendation on how to do all those hikes in three days. Day 1 - Tower Lake (Laguna Torre) Start the day with a 20-km round-trip hike to Laguna Torre. If you plan it well, you can even take a walk on the Glacier at the end.

It takes about 6 hours to finish the hike. ...

Magellanic penguins migrate to Brazil during winter (April onwards). While Gentoo stays in Isla Martillo in Ushuaia year-round. ...
English has a very commonly used vowel that doesn’t exist in Indic languages natively. It is ɛ- Open-mid front unrounded vowel. Consider the word bet, its vowel sound is halfway between bat/बैत़ and bait/बेत़. This vowel is fairly common in English, for example, tech whose vowel sound is halfway between tack and take. Or met which is half-way between mat and mate. Now, this sound is not natively written in Hindi. However, this does show up in various spoken words like रहना, कहना, and सहन. And the native speakers intuitively know that the pronunciations deviate from the written spelling in these cases. ...
Some notable quotes from " How to Live" by Derek Sivers. It consists of 27 stories independent of each other. Some contradict ideas from others. And that’s what makes this short read even more provocative.

There isn’t a single city in Latin America that’s as gorgeous as Buenos Aires. The city is aptly termed Paris of Latin America. The city has relatively good public transport.

EZE is used primarily for flights in the South American region and AEP for international flights outside this region. ...
