That feeling you are describing happens everywhere. In the US, inflation is usually tracked by the CPI [0], which uses the average monthly price of a market basket [1]. The tricky thing is in finding the correct weights of each item in the

Brazilian here too. Although the URV maneuver did help psychologically, a lot of controlling the inflation had to do with the so-called "economic tripod" implemented with the Real plan, which basically involved: - Negative primary

That happens frequently on the desktop website YouTube too. It also happens on my Android phone using the native app. Related to that, if you try to scrub to a position BEFORE what you are watching right now (say, 1 minute before), which is

Sorry for that. I don't think anyone can predict how your boss would react to such demand. That said, it might be that those colleagues making more than you do simply offer more value to the company, or were better negotiators when dis

You are correct. I do not know the complexity or the merit of the other competitors, and I might have made my comment based on my current knowledge of the technology involved (knowing that it is not very complex).

Wow! It does look like you did some serious work on the hardware part. Thanks for getting back!

I got a lot of criticism for my comment because I said I was not very impressed by this (mostly because my field of research is very close to what he did). Just like some people think that formatting a PC is black magic, simply because they

I never said that his understanding is less important than mine. Simply that I was not impressed by his work, because I have seen much better by same-aged undergrad students. I wasn't comparing him to me, but to other people with simil

I did not mean anything like that. I have my own problems to solve. I only used my experience to asses that I have seen great solutions to more difficult problems by same-age people (17, 18 yr old undergrad students), and not that I am the

I'm have a Masters in Aeroacoustics (acoustics + fluid dynamics) and work mostly on numerical simulations, so while I can see that for someone outside the field this can look like black magic, I am certainly not impressed. I mean, what

Hey, is there any difference between this hardware and your typical OBD-II Bluetooth adapter? In case not, they could market the app separately and allow people to use their existing adapters.

You might be right. However, anedoctally, most of my friends are paying for Spotify Premium and Netflix even when torrent downloads are just around the corner. And these are not rich people with money to spare; these are grad students or a

In that hypothetical scenario, why would starving artists continue distributing their work? They would simply look for another job that paid the bills. I for one choose to believe that people mostly want to support the artists, hence the po

Great site and nice UI. Congratulations. Issues/sugestions: 1. Couldn't find an option to add my app. 2. Screenshots of apps would be nice (some people might be more interested in the app itself than in the source code).

This is awesome! Some of these "honest" titles are much more clear than the original, academic ones. We tend to use buzzwords/keywords to try and get noticed or even "respected", but it is all complete bullshit. Res

Good point, I have given that some thought too. Besides the problems already cited in the other comments, another problem is that smaller companies trying to grow might have a competitive disadvantage because of the upward pressure on the s
