Homes on districts that use 127v also have a second phase for 220v, mainly for shower heads, electric ovens, etc. Commercial property always have 220v.

Brazilian electrical shower-heads use 20 to 30 amps max.

In most of Brazil, the "t" or "d" followed by "i" is pronounced as "tch", like in "cheese".

> having a few large companies to watch over is better than millions of small micro-niche ones

Not necessarily. The consequences of a few bad micro-niche ones would be, well, micro.

I would add:

* Plant more trees

SaaS margins too.

Yes but it's up to date and much larger now.

Entry level Dolphins cost $20.5k in Brazil (R$118k).

One of the greatest web destinations of all time!

Hopefully this revival of film photography will bring us better film scanners too.

Where?

Amateur photographers too.

Imagine if we built bridges like we build software...

It's cultivated in Brazil too, although in a very small scale: (in portuguese) https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/comida/2022/02/wasabi-verdadei...

At least in São Paulo, limão galego is a small, green lemon and limão cravo is an orange-colored lemon that looks almost like a tangerine.

Plus, in the case of the Pix system, every user can instantly receive money too, free of charge.

No fees and an extremely simple UX are the other reasons it got there this fast. Plus the fact that it's operated by the central bank (trust!).

"Today, tech companies promise to create algorithms that can analyze old music to create new music. But music is ambiguous: is it mostly a product to be produced and enjoyed, or is the creation of it the most important thing? If it’s the former, then being able to automate the production of music is at least a coherent idea, whether or not it is a good one. But, if it’s the latter, then pulling music creation away from people undermines the whole point. I often work with students who want to build algorithms that make music. I ask them, Do you mean you want to design algorithms that are like instruments, and which people can use to make new music, or do you just want an A.I. to make music for you? For those students who want to have optimal music made for them, I have to ask, Would you want robots to have sex for you so you don’t have to? I mean, what is life for?"

Not to mention reviewers with 3k+ reviews. Who in their right mind properly read and review 3k books?

It isn't the most popular restaurant chain in Brazil by any measure, in fact it's unknown by most brazilians not living in a vey large city.

And logging, mostly to supply rich countries with some exotic timber.

Probably never, same with that hardware "buy" button they have/had.

First dpreview.com, now this. I wonder who's next...
