Hacker News's hipsterism, consisting in necessarily the top comment being about how everything about the link is bullshit, is really getting old.
In this case, it is just ridiculous. The speech is serious and articulate, it touches a lot of important points, and defines a set of actions going forward.
And, it makes me want to do business with brazilian-based companies, once the announced more autonomous technologies are put in place. The internet needs to be decentralised again, and this is exactly the kind of step that can lead there. If the technological alternative offered in brazilian soil holds, I would definitively move all of my cloud footprint there.
" it makes me want to do business with brazilian-based companies, once the announced more autonomous technologies are put in place."
ONCE....
Please do not wait do now...
I am still waiting for speed rail here in Brazil, Cheap gas or electricity and Less than 44% of my GDP in Taxes.
But please do not take my 'hispterism' because I live in a bubble here in Brazil (native) and lived 3 years in US and 1 year in Middle East.
I just came to the terms that after 35 years here we are STILL blaming US for 'everything' and we do not have nothing to blame us....strange..
Ah, that explains your negativism against the Brazilian president.
For the benefit of the foreign audience: President Dilma faces fierce opposition from the Brazilian elite, because of her party's socialist reforms, in a country that historically always catered to the elites. Anything that the president does (good or bad) faces opposition, pretty similar to the opposition President Obama faces in the US.
Note how the commenter above does not say a word about the speech itself. It's all about paying so much taxes and not getting the speed rail.
(also a native-Brazilian here who lived 8 years in the US and 2 in China)
No, I never said only foreigners can complain. And I am far from nationalist: Like I said, I am normally the first one to criticize Brazil, and I was accused of being "unpatriotic" on every country I lived, so I am pretty sure my views are balanced.
I am just explaining to the (mostly foreigner) audience that your comments are connected to the local Brazilian politics, but this is not the point of this discussion.
We hear you and believe you are correct about the problems in Brazil. However, its not really the point of this discussion... why I think you're receiving some negativity.
