Americans produce very good movies and TV shows! I'm specially fond of golden age (1930–1960s) movies, but also like more contemporaneous stuff. However, right now Marvel blockbusters are their prime product, one can say the face of ma

You see the huge problem we from journalism have when even in a place like HN people can't discern between reporting and opinion on the news. Levine is terrific, but he isn't a reporter. His job as columnist is to give context and

Journalist's job isn't to master a field they cover (although this can help a lot), but to know what questions to ask to whom. Lack of skepticism and fact checking is, indeed, sins of the profession, but that's it.

I really enjoy all Never Too Small[1] videos, but as a fascinating curiosity. Having lived quite a few years in apartments ~400 ft sq apartments, can't think any other reason but necessity to do so. [1] https://www.youtube.c

Yeap. Sendy[1] costs USD 69 (one-payment purchase) and sending messages via AWS is peanuts. It's a far cry from Substack's polish, but it works great with some HTML/CSS knowledge. The problem will arise when those two handful

It's a tricky problem indeed, this one regarding their app, although not a surprising one. Last month, Hamish McKenzie (cofounder) wrote[1] that “the trend that Substack is part of is not a newsletter trend, or even the much-hyped crea

This comment further proves that American movie industry does some work to promote itself abroad. “Local stuff” are terrific in Brazil (where I live) and I really enjoy European movies. I watch American movies, but most of them are hard pas

As Brazilian, I always ask for parity prices for services charged in dollar. It’s been a while our currency went downhill; right now, it’s BRL 5 for USD 1. That “only USD 9” that’s a no-brainer in the US becomes very costly when converted t

You may dislike this, but he is innocent. If you're convicted in an unfair judgement, and it's later discovered that it was unfair, and the Supreme Court cancels your judgement, you're innocent. If one day Lula got a fair jud

He is innocent . By Brazilian law, if you're not convicted, you're innocent. Which is his case. This isn't too hard to understand, my bolsominion friend.

Bolsonaro is a fake news machine. He had a “hateful department” lead by his son Carlos to produce and spread fake news. He lies about everything and poured billions of reais to try to win this election, not to mention the serial electoral c

Ffs, Lula isn’t “a criminal”. He was convicted by a corrupted federal judge, as our Supreme Court decided. Lula is a breath of relief after four years under Bolsonaro insane, perverse term. I’m Brazilian, voted for Lula, and I’m really happ

“More open” as owned by a billionaire extremist that promised to destroy moderation efforts that weren’t even good to begin with. People in the US have a weird notion of what “open” means.

I miss 3D Touch so much, if only because of its awesome cursor placement trick — instead of the spacebar, you could hold a finger anywhere on the keyboard and take the cursor to the right spot, plus increase the strength to select words.
