That's an interesting observation, and it's possible to see how different cultures deal with anonymity. For a Brazilian, giving out a personal ID for (almost) anybody is a matter of fact. In Brazil we have a tax number (CPF) and o

Count me in since iPhone 7 launch. On the day it launched I didn't find it worthy of the price (and it is missing the earphone jack!) and got myself a 6s. And I'm not upgrading till this phone dies.

At least in São Paulo the taxis took a lesson from Uber and improved their service, created a premium service that isn't more expensive, taxi hauling apps introduced reduced fares, that the drivers can choose whether to accept or not.

Of the main Pi distributors, only Newark had local operations, and they closed shop last year. Now the cost is higher due to low volume imports, so you end up paying more for shipping the boards. Also, taxes are higher if an individual is i
