Welcome to the real world. Your country is nothing more than a really big corporation. If your big corporation can not control and predict the money flow, your big corporation will be susceptible to bankruptcy.

This article is just an erroneous generalization. The "middle class" culture and politics aren't the same in these countries.


The answer is "Chuck Norris". Or you can typecast "Chuck Norris" to integer, that is 42.

For real, the quality of my answer equals to the quality of these questions.


I'm Brazilian and here jazz is also far way from the mainstream. I like jazz that "got the blues"; listen to some Focus jazz and you will see what I mean.

The problem with jazz is that, as commented by other folks, it is an art. Some jazz scales sounds suck, but they are hard to do. You will only like these musics if you appreciate the ability of the musician on playing it, and not the "sound/music" itself.


Forget that list. New list:

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, The Bank Job, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Sneakers, Pirates of Silicon Valley, Into the Wild, In Bruges, Defiance, Blues Brothers 2000, American Gangster, Across the Universe, A Beautiful Mind.


Sorry man, but the "last exit in the road to the end of the world" is Acre.

And "The only people that live there are cocaine traffickers (from Bolivia) and the last groups of native south americans that still live in tribes." is also an Acre's reference; I am sure it's not Rondônia.

Seems that the fix is just a filter. Is anyone else trying to bypass with html ascii? A few minutes ago, a prompt with the html ascii returned a +0x36 on every char. Now it does not give feedback.

"accept BillGates": &#61 ;&#63 ;&#63 ;&#65 ;&#70 ;&#74 ;&#20 ;&#42 ;&#69 ;&#6C ;&#6C ;&#47 ;&#61 ;&#74 ;&#65 ;&#73 ;

Maybe they already really fixed this bug (I hope).


Brazilian CS undergrad here. Although this is a 50's view, some aspects are still valid.

I study in a technical park inside one of the biggest hydroelectric dams in the world. Some of my professors are renowned engineers working in the dam; but many others are unqualified and became professors just by passing an admission test.

The thing is: my university is public and once you are in, as a professor or student, you will only get out if you decide so or if you do something seriously unethical.

So, as a professor, if you are in, you can do almost whatever you want: you won't be fired. You can produce shitty research papers because you do not need to have "results" like in the private sector; and it's the same for the teaching.


The HN implicit political correctness unable me of writing "tits or gtfo" as a representation of my rebel spirit within this case.

Brazilian here. Anyone else in to create a "HN wannabe" for us southern guys?

Edit: no hijack intended; there are a bunch of hackers in Foz do Iguaçu, if that matters.


My thoughts, exactly.

Just created: http://latinoup.org

I'll just wait for the DNS propagation and then I'll "Tell HN".


Sorry :)

After hijacking some HN posts, we, in the southern part of the continent, saw the need for a locale path.

And here it is: http://latinoup.org/

It's pretty wannabe at the moment. Feel free to submit HN-like news in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

We hope that latinoup will help to concentrate our local hacker community in the same way HN does it.

Feedback wanted, if possible.


Yes, it is a subreddit: /r/latinoup

That guy must be really, really, mad. Who would not like "allow access to data on mail.google.com"?

Third time someone crack it this year.

tldr: "The reason why human-beings procrastinate is to feel in control of their life."

The other parts are contradictions.


Suicide.

Just to represent: happy new year from Brazil.


If I want to register my startup here in Brazil, I need to personally go to five different places and wait more than a hundred days.

We all shall replace reality with fantasy so not-so-bright people can be able to write about it.

S02E02 can prove that.

For 500 meters against the wind it would not guarantee a stable velocity, thus not a stable path length over certain time (it would probably be non-linear to calculate).

So, it seems to exist a correlation between the RPM of the projectile and its velocity over wind's influence that guarantee a linear calculation over the RPM of the projectile.


pg, could you post the HN traffic stats for today as a post-mortem style post?

As a non-american, it's a cultural mind-blow to think that you guys need to pay your guys-in-charge so they do their jobs properly.

Pre-made css for design-handicapped people like me and web design framework for designers.

I am sure not "half" and not "would not exist". This article gives a good tldr of Israel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_technology_in_Israe...

Without too much rhetoric: haters gonna hate.

This sounds in check with the reality. Not sounding like a big corporate nor as an underground start-up.

So, MS don't know shit because windows are square.

I fear being downvoted to censureland if I express the same.

Give a heads up for the guys at http://hackful.com/

Brazilian here. I am surprised our senators are doing their job.

Can someone point me more resources for category theory in the computer science point of view?

Nice to see the project is not dead.

Edit: I am sold, awesome job. If you want to try out, check http://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/#installing


It uses instructions from the pdf.

Edit: sorry, I'm not going to heaven. From [1]: "you define groups of neurons in terms of what they represent, and then form connections between neural groups in terms of what computation should be performed on those representations".

That's so conceptually simple I hate myself for not getting it before.

Where can I find documentation to learn about this?

> Gradiente is a dying company

Not really. They probably will be one of Brazil's big players in the next 10 years.


Disregarding the 1000 tons meteor that blasted in the Amazon in 1930: http://star.arm.ac.uk/impact-hazard/Brazil.html

Friend bought a bike. Store didn't deliver it even after a month (5 days delivery planned). Emailed the CEO of the store (one of the world's biggest) and made it his personal problem (social media fear). CEO made a thousand miles delivery in the same day.

Mtgox is having a trade lag above 15 minutes. This is making the market/traders crazy.

New socioeconomic dynamics: too much for some brains.

Do not go with kibeloco. They are known for stealing content. There is even a verb invented to describe stealing online content thanks to them: "kibar".

Reverse the sell/buy and you could get something.

> NAM is a 115 country strong organization

Thus not India.
