Using more precise terms in language has nothing to do with being an utopia. Really, as a native Portuguese speaker it sounds really weird to ask about the race of a human being.

Both Brazil and the US are really large countries. I'm not sure if comparison is so simple.

About [0], in Portuguese we have abolished the usage of the term "race" for human beings for exactly that reason. Now we exclusively use the term "ethnicity".
Edit: What about the downvotes? Are people going crazy?

You could convert Monero ou Zcash to Bitcoin at an exchange before paying. I don't know which exchanges currently allow to do that without verifying your identity, though.

Maybe not as cheap as an used phone, but close: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK1XuTt

Maybe because nobody had a strong enough use case to feel compelled to implement it. There are very cheap GSM to SIP gateways, that are way less expensive than a mobile phone.

I wear glasses with similar lens as yours. I only realized I had myopia after starting to go to university, and I only realized I had astigmatism around 2 years later. I guess the brain learns to correct the image, at the expense of some headache if you depend too much on it.

Yep, just as my Smartlink softmodem.

Good luck with OpenWrt routers and other embedded stuff which only have Dropbear without sftp.

Direction was not ignored. People would be disconnected when their client replied to the DCC request or CTCP ping.
I'm not sure the vulnerable modems would ignore the delay because of patents. Would love if you have any reference. I remember a Smart Link softmodem respected the delay, but an Intel softmodem did not. Always assumed it was an implementation bug on the part of the Intel one.

Agreed. Better wait for BL602/BL604. Despite not being open hardware, at least they will have open ISA.

Since the code is in the public domain, I was wondering if I could fill a counter-notice myself claiming ownership of the code. If several people residing out of the US filled counter-notices, it would make it really hard for the RIAA to do anything.

Just never leave your country of citizenship. It should be easy with the current Covid-19 situation.

Just make the vote of each state proportional to the number of people who voted in that state.
Or change the Constitution.

Meanwhile, in Sao Paulo we are getting to 34C (93F) every day, and even the nights have been extremely warm. And here at the southern hemisphere it's winter now.
naivedevops | 5 years ago | on: Graviton Database: ZFS for key-value stores
ZFS stores the checksums of files to prevent bit rotting. Since they are comparing their database to ZFS, I guess it stores the checksums for the same reason. If bit rotting occurs, you don't need to discard the entire database, just the affected entry. If the entry was already there for some time, you might even be able to restore it from a backup.

> Even the OAB (brazilian akin to advocates' guild) recognized this wasn't the case for at leas two weeks. And when the accused were given access to formal accusation, they only had access to a small chapter of it.
Do you have any source? I tried to google 'Roberto Jefferson OAB', but I found nothing.
naivedevops | 5 years ago | on: Brazil Bolsonaro: Facebook told to block accounts of president’s supporters
You should try to remember the political scenario at the time. The Snowden leaks had generated an immense discomfort in Brazilian government regarding the fact that US based companies could just wiretap Brazilian communications. WhatsApp didn't have a subsidiary at Brazil, and Facebook Brazil used to say they didn't respond for WhatsApp matters. Since Brazilian justice didn't manage to get WhatsApp to answer subpoenas even for extremely low-profile cases, they tried to force their hand on them. The blocks were clearly a demonstration of force, trying to get companies providing services to Brazilians to obey Brazilian law at least to some extent.

For example, here in Brazil the president Bolsonaro started to promote a migration of the current DRE voting system to a system with a physical audit trail (such as VVPAT).
The result was pure chaos. He and his followers started to mix up legit stuff such as the ACM statement on voting systems and articles written by world renowned researchers with conspiracy theories claiming fraud by "the communists" in past elections.
Meanwhile, almost all newspapers (with the exception of one or two) started to bash the scientific consensus as if it was bullshit just to argue against the conspiracists.
A horror show which is still going on.
