You are dead wrong about Brazil, our legislation about online privacy is pretty advanced. The European Union is not a country but has pretty solid legislation as well. Other South American countries on the list are pretty good as well. You

This drives me nuts. You move to another city, risk your livelihood on a new job that you don’t know if is gonna work out for you. Your kids go to a new school, your partner has to either move to find a new job, or make it work long distanc

And what about all the developing and testing of models? What about all the OTHER companies that can’t wait to get a piece of this cake and are training and scraping the internet like there’s no tomorrow? And all the companies that are inte

You’re saying when executives compete, their average salary goes higher, but when workers like us compete, our average salary gets smaller?

I mean, we have stuff called “windows”, “word”… “Water” is as good a name as any other. Congrats on your work, I look forward to testing it out this weekend!

Yeah, amazing work, and so beautiful! What I ended up thinking was how we can always see what's ahead in 2d / 3d (of course, without obstacles), and how we cannot see anything in the fourth dimension in this particular world. Coul

Or maybe "did" should be changed to "have", and we'd all be fine...

THAT's the name of that service!! I remember trying to find it about a year ago, and was never able to. I even asked here on HN and reddit, to no avail. So sad it disappeared, it seemed to be an awesome idea. Came to see the comments h

Yeah, I thought about that too, but I'm pretty sure that there are lots of cases where you don't care. In our case, I know we would both EASILY take that trade off. Sending her imaging exams via, well, whatever really, on the same

Main problem with local hosting solutions is pricing, I think. I can get a DO VPS machine with a reasonable performance for US$ 5/mo, while most known Brazilian providers would set me back about US$ 20/mo for a similar machine. If

Haven't read Piketty - not sure I can handle it with the almost-insignificant knowledge I have about economy - but this argument seems very reasonable. I've only read people writing ABOUT Piketty's book, and haven't seen

Not sure that is entirely correct... What about funding research, for example? Isn't that philanthropy that might benefit everyone, including poor people?

This is EXACTLY the same situation as here in Brazil. Very few well renowned private universities, but the very best ones are the state universities.

The federal and state universities here in Brazil have always been free. In fact, most people here use the terms "public" as a synonym for "free of charge", when talking about education. I think this is great, but it is

Doesn't "equivalent to" in this case mean "the mice equivalent to the maximum accetptable in humans"?

While we're at it, does "a loss of neurons for sleep" really make sense in this case? Sounded weird to me... Is someone really losing neurons FOR sleep? What does this mean? (Not criticizing, really. As a non-native English s

Beautiful, polished, fun! Contrary to most people here, I actually like the comments between levels, and the "no instructions" policy just made it better. I wish more games were like this. Nicely done, I have no negative comments

I have wanted this for a few years now. This would definitely put things in perspective and make lots of people (and me!) understand history much better. Too bad I am not competent enough to actually build something like this. I would defin
